SF1 WW1 First Eagles Question

Recommended Posts

Running win10 on gaming systen.

 

First Eagles will run in windows mode. Every thing is showing on-screen in Startup.ini.

 

If i set windows mode to FALSE (in Startup.ini), the main menu screen is so large that i cannot get to

any selection buttons on the right side, like "Fly" or "Accept", etc.

I've tried every resolution from 800x600 to 2560x1600 with no luck.

 

How do i change the resolution of the menu screens?

 

And also, is the cat extractor still available for First Eagles?

I figure there must be a setting for menu screens in the cat file.

 

 

thank you,

savagcl

Hello, try setting the screen resolution for FE/FE2 manually in the Options.ini file of your user directory for FE2...if you are running FE1/FEgold, the Options.ini file might be located in a different spot. The settings to tamper with are the following ones:

 

[GraphicsOptions]

DisplayDeviceID=0
DisplayWidth=1600
DisplayHeight=900
DisplayDepth=32
 
The cat extractor that works with SF2 should work fine with FE2, I use it all the time. Here's the link to the cat program:
 
 
Happy flying,

Got the extractor, works great, thank you.

 

I have tried all resolutions, still to large.

I have a fairly large 32 inch monitor.

my current resolution is normally set to 2650x1900x32 (max).

 

SP1 and SP2 is good, only First Eagles menu screens are larger.

I'll try a re-install and maybe that will fix.

 

thanks again,

savagcl
