Darn,
Thrawn, AnRky, Saintaw and Otto have been flying with a handicap so far!
Were all in trouble when 1.07 comes out!

I never knew people had such problems. Feel sorry for you guys. I can see the colours perfectly, can't imagine how it would be if I couldn't. Excuse my ignorance and for being a bit off topic, but does this red/green blindness affect your ability to see traffic lights too?

[Pyro]

Don't thank me, I didn't have to write it.

RG, here are samples of tests given to check for it.  A lot of people never realize they have a problem with it until they're tested for it.  The term "color blindness" is misleading as to what is actually is.

I'm PROUD I picked this game 6 months ago, choosing from AH, WB and AW (R.I.P.). And I'd be damned if I'd not make the same choice again!

Even after 4 years being a member of the Open Source Foundation, I have seldom seen such a quick response.

<S> HTC!

(Now, can I make a Linux AH port?   )

  I see the '25' in the top left circle and that's all  

  'RearGunner' that's a good question and the short answer is NO.  The reason, as close as I can tell, is the lenses in the lights do something that corrects the whole situation.  A Traffic Light is the only time
I confident I'm seeing Red and Green correctly.

Thats awesome Pyro, thx alot!!  The text colors are a little wonky for me.  The mysterious "blue official" mode for you HTC people always appears white to me  .  I adjusted the RBG values on my monitor and I can KIND of make out a sky blueish color for the official text.

Gee, if THIS worked that fast... hmmm, I think color blind people have trouble with Me262s.. Maybe you could let the handicapped fly them instead?!  Hehehe

Pyro: OK, thank the programmers then.  

RearGunner:  Yes it does cause a problem with traffic lights for me.  I can tell the green light from the red light, but the green light looks almost white to me.  So sometimes I have trouble spotting them, especially if there are low-pressure sodium streetlights which look almost the same color to me.

Thanks HTC, I really appreciate that.
