Clouds, Artificial Horizons, Gunsites.
« on: November 13, 1999, 03:58:00 PM »
Love the way the clouds look from the outside.

In them, the sort of Bone White, or grey doesnt' do much for me.

I have tried hitting just the vapors on the edges and you get the same thing, one color, no visibility.

Now having flown, god I don't know how many times, in commercials airliners and such, I can appreciate a loss of vision in the clouds and live with that, but I was hoping that some other graphic could occur while your in the clouds, sort of swirls or something.

Not important, but its what I recall watching the clouds go over the wings of the comercial airliner, military aircraft that you could see out of, that I have been in.

Now, I don't know how many times I have gone into a cloud, and come out at an attitude that I had not intended.  I watch the ball and slip indicators, and unless I hit the auto level, I come out upside down, or some such direction I hadn't intended.

I run into a cloud to try and hide, and change direction to go for an advesary, the compass and ball and slip just aren't making it for me.  I would like the artificial horizions PLEASE!!!!!

There use it more apparent with the clouds added.

Finally,

Could you change the Gunsite bitmap resoloution to say 65X65 instead of 32X23.

Putting a line down the middle is difficult because of the even numbers.  YOur four middle squares, where you would want the dot are blocked.

If you don't wanna do 65X65 could we get a 33X33, just anything to offset the center.

Lastly, should anyone from HTC Reply.

Will we be able to have more than one gunner to a bomber?

You DO know you can go up to a 1024x1024 .bmp for gunsites? Then the four middle dots aren't even VISIBLE unless you zoom in.

You do know that the screen is even pixels in width. The absolute center falls to middle of two pixels so you couldn't get a single pixel in the center of the screen anyway.

Apparently you have to use a number divisable by 8.

32X32
64X64
40X40
56X56
128X128

Etc, Etc..

Now about the Artificial horizons and clouds?

There is so much dispersion that being off 1 pixel doesnt matter to much anyway.

I tried 65X65 and the gunsite was off center of the reflector glass.

I am flying 1024X768 mode?

I don't know why 63X63 would work?

Downtown:

It doesn't. It will be off center, cause the screen is even pixels in width.
