maybe some rounding to 8 or someething for gl panes, wildguessing

The wraparound must be a driver bug.
It must not be correctly handling out-of-screen viewports.
The fix: make sure no VDU gets past the screen's edge. Ie: left + width < 1.
A better fix: better drivers.

cleared up for me @1280x1024 both VDU toggles now work with all the text btw thx for the config file update klauss don't have to do myself now

Enjoy the Choice

no wait, we shouldnt be focussing on non 4:3 resolutions should we? the engine isnt made for that. as stated in the wiki.

Atleast the devs shouldnt base any decisions on how vegastrike looks on 1280*1024.

Unless the engine dev can reassure us that a 4:3 rectangle in 1024x768 looks like a 4:3 rectangle on 1280x1024 too.

This may explain alot of the aspect errors in the HUDS, like eggy radars, compressed vdu's etc.

AFAIK, non 4:3 refers to monitor dimensions, not screen resolutions.
Screen coordinates are in normalized [-1..1] range, so resolution should make little difference.
Should.
Perhaps pixel aspect ratio isn't being set properly (ie: 0.9375 for 1280x1024, 1.00 for 1024x768, etc...).

[pheldens]

you're right, not like that.
I should have written out the full default norm:
1.0 pixelratio on a 4:3 viewable area with any 4:3 res.
This is the screen you should test HUD's with, people with another configuration, or unsure shouldnt make changes. or atleast poll if it looks the same for others.


I'm tweaking this cockpit a bit locally:

- "lock" moves to being an orange, unanimated ring, around the "M" missilie lock light.
- "M" changed to "L" for both Locking types.
- Jump light deanimated (has some engine triggered flicker upon approach)
- ECM light deanimated
- Rounding radars properly. no eggs please. (increases depth/lense effect for the human eye/brain too.
- re-alignment of all objects

Makes total sense.
I'd apply that.

- Jump light deanimated (has some engine triggered flicker upon approach)

I tried to fix that... it's tricky.
I wouldn't apply that change, it would perpetuate the flicker.

- ECM light deanimated

Of taste...

- Rounding radars properly. no eggs please. (increases depth/lense effect for the human eye/brain too.
- re-alignment of all objects

I'd need a screenshot of that - I don't get it.

No but now it has double flicker, the engine generated flicker (doesnt disturb me as such. ), plus the ani flicker.

- Rounding radars properly. no eggs please. (increases depth/lense effect for the human eye/brain too.

I'd need a screenshot of that - I don't get it.

See the first picture in this thread above:
radars are oval, flattened, when they are made back to a perfect circle, the 3d effect in your brain increases, when you see the dots move, they trace an invisible concave depth more clearly.

Cool. I want that.
Just... BLAST is upside down
