From the Desert Storm mod: (click for 1920x1200) I've got some more nice one's to post during the coming week.

I've been playing around a bit with the Strike Eagle III menu system - is this something people would be interested in having in SF? The aim is to copy the animation present in the original:

This mod is fantastic!

It depends The SF/WOx series has a standard interface resolution of 1024x768 --> depending on how you set your vid card and monitor settings, the gui will be stretched out or not. SF2 appears to set the screen resolution at your in flight resolution and then stretch out (and distort) the 1024x768 menu. There are a number of higher resolution/wide screen menu sets out there. The main issue is that the individual hangar screens are usually 1024x768 only. Other games will handle their GUI differently.

Most graphics cards and monitors have various ways to handle non-native resolutions (i.e., resolutions that differ from the LCD screen's resolution - most 24in lcd's have a native resolution of 1920x1200). The basic options are:

Thanks jitn - I understand what you mean -- however, at 1920x1200 it's a bit less of an issue

Last set - nearly all done, will start testing on SF2 shortly

1920 x 1200 - - get a real monitor, Dave

Pilot Records

I noticed that too -- but you can (or at least in the WO* series could) set the menu resolution in menusystem.ini --> SF2 stretches a 1024x768 image to fit your screen, instead of using a higher resolution image. If you would use a 1920x1200 image, most of it would be off screen even while the resolution in-game is set at 1920x1200.

Until the updated cat extractor becomes available, I've no idea whether it will work in SF2 -- I'm currently testing in WOI so it should work in the entire WO* series.

Loadout Roster Options (the menu set will be 1920x1200 only, but will include templates and instructions how to adapt to other resolutions)

3 wip's (original 1920x1200): Mainscreen Single Mission Campaign (inspired by subraction 7.0 and Goldman Sachs I'm waiting for the release of the updated cat extractor to see if and to what extend the menu system has changed in v2.

Thai?

The excessive amount of files required for animation is why I never used it. I think FRAPS lets you save a stream of .bmp's which you can use as animation. BTW, is the LoopingAnimation parameter still broken, i.e. if you set it to FALSE does the animation nevertheless loop? If it now works, that would allow some nice fade-in animations on menu items.
