Hello,
I played BS1 along time ago and only started playing BS2 for a few days. I have some questions if anyone would care to answer.
1. Concerning the cockpit lighting brightness knob. IIRC in BS1 it controls all relevant gauges and panels at the same time. But in BS2 only the Targeting Display panel and the PVI 800 NAV panel have gradual brightness while everything else is fullbright on or off. Is there a way to go back the uniform fine control for all panels and gauges?
2. My NVG mode is black and white instead of green and it blurs the heck out of everything at low levels, couple with the fact that most panel/gauge lights are now always full on of off brightness.. things don't feel very good. Anyway to get back to BS1 style NVG?
3. The training missions. Why are they non interactive vids now? Surely the old ones are better? The filesize are huge and the audio are out of sync. Are the old training .miz files still compatible? I might dig up my old copy of BS1 for them.
4. Did the renderer changed from using DX9? Can't get the game to use a modded dx9 dll like in BS1.
5. Model viewer is crashing for me. Does it no longer work?
That's it for now. Many thanks.
P/S: I might sound over critical of the game but I still love it, the core game is still BS that I knew and loved. Plus the engine is much faster, wingmen aren't as suicidal and custom skins are easier to install (no more messing with .skins files), So I have no real complaints about my re purchase, apart from these few minor things.
