1680 x 1050 Mainscreen modification for SF2 North Atlantic
 
Main screen only for NA to add to my series of SF2 main screens as i like standardization .
Currently working on some quick mod idea for the rest of the NA screens. Will see if there will be enough time and energy
 
The other SF2 mainscreens
- SF2 Generic : (although more Europe oriented) and its Photoshop template to possibly alter it to your taste, here : http://combatace.com...exp2b-dec-2010/
- SF2 Vietnam : http://combatace.com...or-sf2-vietnam/
- SF2 Europe : http://combatace.com...for-sf2-europe/
- SF2 Israel : http://combatace.com...for-sf2-israel/
 
You can consider also the Splash Screen replacement in graphics accordance with the template of the above Main Screens : http://combatace.com...2-splashscreen/
 
- Installation :
Extract the 'Menu' folder and place it in your mods folder (eg C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic\ (or if theres already a 'Menu' folder in your mods directory , place the 'Menu' contents in the 'Menu' folder of the mods directory)

This bmp replaces the stock TW "Initializing system... Please wait..." splash screen. Just drop it in the folder "Menu" found in the folder where your Strike Fighters 2 is installed. (eg "C:\Program Files\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\")

Notices_____________________________________________________________
 
(1) May overwrite files - back up first if this bothers you.
(2) Provided "as is" - use at your own risk.
 
 
 
Installation Instructions___________________________________________
 
The Strike Fighters 2 automatically scales the background image of
the menu's to fill your screen at its native/desktop resolution.
This distorts the image if you have a widescreen monitor.
 
This mod therefore includes to variants -- one for regular screens
with a 4:3 aspect ratio (e.g. 1024x768px or 1600x1200)which should
also work on screens with a 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024).
 
There is also a widescreen variant for screens with an aspect ratio
of 16:10 or 16:9 (e.g. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080).
 
> The regular aspect mainscreens are located in the folder "Normal"
> The widescreen mainscreens are located in the folder "Widescreen"
 
Each folder contains two subfolders, "A-6" and "F-14".
 
> Decide whether you want an A-6 or a F-14 themed mainscreen and
copy the relevant "mainscreen.bmp" file to the MENU folder in
your Strike Fighters North Atlantic mods folder.
 
> For more information on the mods folder, please see:
http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
 
> If you don't have a MENU folder, create one by selecting File >
New > Folder in the explorer menu.
 
> Copy the file named MAINSCREEN.INI to your MENU folder as well.
 
That's it.
