I prefer to use U-jagd because it allows for the 6-Dials Simfeeling mod, and I like the way it looks. I know the rings around the lens are important, but is there some way to enlarge it so it fills the screen? It would make viewing a lot cooler, as well as easier. |
A much increased scope view is something I've also wanted, but that is not part of the U-jagd mission statement, I'm afraid. U-jagd 1-series only provides the tools - it makes no other changes. It is up to other GUI projects to sort out changes in scope view size, and I gladly permit full use of U-jagd tools to anyone who wishes to implement them into their own projects, as OLC has done so brilliantly.
Enlarging the rings is a simple matter of opening them with a capable image editor, such as photoshop or Gimp, and resizing the images. You of course then have to note the new dimensions and edit the relevant Pos entries in the menu_1024_768 file accordingly. Einfach!
But this will not greatly change the basic scope view and magnfiication effect(although you may improve the field of view through it). Already the U-jagd 1.3 field of view is vastly increased from the earliest versions!
To change the original scope view in the way that OLC did with the Obs scope and Werner SObe has with SH4 is a different project that opens up different issues. If you wish to have a much bigger scope view, then you need to reorganise the entire GUI space to make room for it.
Then you need to edit your AOB finder images to fit the new scope.
It's certainly doable, and in fact it's something I have in my mind to do as my next project, but it'll be a lot of work.
So in the meantime, sorry.
