This ATI x700 card is working hard just to run this game, so maybe I'm stuck where I am until I can upgrade. Many Thanks Anyway.

A few days ago I was trying different angular values and I had no lock ups but the changes never occurred, except for one time , with a value of 10 it was zoomed in close but after replacing the file with a default v1.2 I couldn't duplicate the change again. Earlier, I had to turn my CPU totally off to make the 10 value work so changing the cameras dat file on the fly doesn't work ... perhaps a monitor reset might work, I don't know. I'm running a 1920x1200 screen so it sounds like different values will have an effect on different resolutions, as Canonicus noted in post # 128.

You'd probably have to experiment until you're blue in the face

Could be worse, you could be blue in the...oh, nevermind. :rotfl:

I am going to give it another shot this weekend. I like your radar screens too much not to use them. I just can't see them as well as I would like, so I will work on it. I'm 60 years old so I am already blue in the face and silver of hair (whats left of it) so I will figure it out. I am also thinking an upgrade of my graphics card wouldn't hurt.

Thanks to you, Cannonics and Redwine for trying to help me out. Please keep up the good work.

Note to Redwine - Did you get that step by step we were discussing uploaded on that thread and if you did. Where is it please?

Ok. Let me know if you want a personal PPI, I wouldn't mind creating one for you. If you like Redwines PPI but would prefer a black background then just swap the Radar.dds file from one of the other v1.21 folders into the RW-3.

If you ever can get your zoom working then let me know if a 1024 size PPI would help make the image sharper.

Mraah, thank you I will try the one you made for Redwine w/black background. I do not want to request anything special right now. It appears you have a lot going on as it is, but thanks for the offer. I may cry and beg later, but for now I'll use what you got out there.

I am considering upgrade from ATI x700 to ATI x1600 512 mb, maybe that will help. Suggestions on cards welcome, but would probably need to move this to another post. Will stick with the PPI topic and hope for the best.

hi will this be put into the 1.3 update??:hmm: i hope so. [ did the radar look like this in the REAL us sub??]

Bear · 06-01-07, 08:45 AM

Redwine - On Cannoicus post Camera Mod # 6. You said to go to other topic to see your upload on how to change camera angle without using the Mini-tweaker. I looked at the two pages you posted that looked like a lot of numbers and maybe needed a hex editor or something. Hope this helps you remember, if not - its no big deal because I think I'm screwed anyway.

Maybe my ATI card x700 just can't handle the pressure. I am thinking I need a new graphics card any suggestions.

Just look at first post at this present page...

You need a Hexe-Editor, if you have not, i can upload one for you.

Open the file Camera.dat and change the numbers highlighted in yellow so they finally looks like the values showed at the screen shots above at the first topic in this present page.

Thas all... do not scare, it is so simple.

Any way, back-up you original file first.

Just request help if you neeed it...

About the card... i have an ATI and i am not satisfied. Just buy the better nVidia you can buy....

When 1.3 is released I'll see if any changes were made and work from there. I don't know if what I designed is really used in the sub of that era. From my info it's probably as close as it can be, except for the way the radar contacts are displayed.

I have a Hex editor, but I have never tried to use. I am sure there is a tut somewhere if I get messed up. I printed off your pages to use as a blueprint. I will let you know how it works. I am at work now and won't be able to work on it until tomorrow. I used to use NV GeForce all the time. But now I can't remember why I switched.

Thanks Again, I will let you know how it works out.
