Screen Resolution & 688(I)

[Volga]

Greetings, all.

Recently paid for the Steam version of 688(I) to re-live some happy memories. That I found the old spiral-bound manual, in excellent condition, was a plus -but upon launch...

640x480 is it?

Are there (or were there ever) any modifications/official patches to change resolutions to a more reasonable quality?

Thanks, in advance.

Not that I'm aware of :nope: If you want better graphics/screen res, then Sub Command is the way to go. While it is debatable how much DW improved over SC in terms of gameplay and realism, I think that more or less there is consensus in that SC improved over 688i. Still, 688i had its own beauty, but it left my HDD for ever since I got SC. Now it only resides in an old laptop I kept for the exclusive use of playing AOD, SH1, 688i and such old games :yep:

Thanks for the quick reply :up:

Aye, I tried '-windowed' in the command line and all the rest of it, to no avail. But nonetheless, it did satisfy my need to revisit 688 even in glorious 640/480. Fun stuff.

Being more interested in soviet/russian 'platforms' anyway, (though more familiar with ground and air warfare from Archangelskii to ZiS -obsessional is perhaps the better word, really) - Sub Command is more my thing. And with a full suite of extras (ambient sounds, cyrillic labelled panels etc. grabbed from DW mod authors -it's a hoot.

Downloading DW now, for the Kilo -here's hoping Sonalysts will give us a playable Ka-27 and Il-38 some day.;)
