Title: Pyro...will AH use different aspect ratio's?
Post by: Merlin on July 26, 1999, 09:09:00 PM

Am curious about why planes must be so small at distance. Will this always need to be the case with sims?

To maintain planes in scale with the rest of the world. In AH though we'll be allowed to set our own FOV which will let us decide which matters more, bigger planes or more planes visible at time.

Ok that's kinda misleading statement, what I mean is that with smaller FOV you will see less of the world, but anything inside the FOV will appear bigger/closer than with larger FOV. It's a trade off between Big Planes and SA. I know I'll stick with SA.

Hmmm, six view with FOV ~179 degrees...

The view system supports a zoom mode that allows you to change your field of view.  In default mode, things appear small because you've got a 90 degree field of view placed on a fairly small monitor surface.

Will the game feature a Steve Austin bionic zoom sound?
