Splashscreen Possibilities

[CastelEtzwane 23]

I have been annoyed by the primary splashscreen for BH&H (the brown one with the Camel, Pfalz, and DVI) because its resolution is 1920x1080 while my screen's actual resolution is 1920x1200, which results in a distortion of the aircraft portrayed. Over time this has become irritating because I spend a lot of time staring at this flawed picture.

So I thought I could supplement or even replace it with an image of my choosing but have run into problems. I found and replaced the Splash2.dds file in the 'WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields' folder but this did not totally solve the problem as the brown BH&H splashscreen still displays the majority of the time while my Splash2 replacement image is only displayed a minute or so while the game loads a mission.

But why does the brown BH&H splashscreen still display even though I have replaced the Splash2 file with another image ? Is the BH&H splashscreen located in another file in another folder or is it hard-coded into the WOFF executable file ?

By the way, the image files which display when loading the campaign etc. menus are superb !! I enjoy looking at them but often wonder what about the background of what I am looking at. Does anybody have a guide to these photos ?

For instance, while looking at a British campaign menu screen, I suddenly realized that the accompanying photo was that of Billy Bishop sitting in the Se5a in which he achieved his last 12 victories !!

(I knew this because I am re-reading a book about Bishop's war career and the book includes a color profile of this very Se5a.)

Hi, the screen is displayed twice, once is embedded in the WOFF Manager so not changeable.
