Very high resolution please? Widescreen?

Post by Motopsycho »

Wow! CAW being updated to the 21st century! NICE! [:D]

I bought CAW and the Construction Set waaaaaay back when! Even still have the boxes! [8D]

Heh, specifically, that one "just-for-fun" Pearl Harbor mission "Final Countdown" (named after the movie) was a great stress release after getting your Rear <ahem> Admiral <ahem> handed to ya' in a Guadacanal scenario! [;)]

So I'd like to ask, many of us "ole-timers" have a bit of disposable income to spend on top-of-the-line computer toys, I'd like to request that your current iteration of CAW support resolutions as high as 2560x1600 please. I'd like to be able to take advantage of my 30" Dell 3007WFP while playing the new Carriers at War!

I read in another thread that duel-monitor support is prolly' not in, but can you please make very high resolutions in?

Thanks in advance,

I know that the chances for realization are probably very low, but I would like to STRONGLY second the request for the support of different resolutions (1600x1200 is what I use, since it's the native resolution of my LCD)

Greetings Chuck,

Though you may be correct, I believe enabling the game to support high-resolutions is much, much easier than adding duel-monitor support.

I was pleasantly suprised to see that Panzer Command: OWS (another recent Matrix game) had 1920x1080 (WIDE) at least. (2048x1536 even!) for non-wide screen users.

My monitor's native is 2560x1600, get too much lower rez then that and you need Anti-Aliasing up the wazoo to get rid of the big pixels. [X(] [:'(]


Let's just hope!

I also hope&nbsp;CAWII support 2560x1600. more and more people are getting higher resolutions and gaming with such resolution puts you in the game.
Im enjoying my 30" Apple screen just for that. It's investment worth buying!

1280x1024 is&nbsp;common native resolution on 19" (4x3) LCD units.
&nbsp;
Will CAW&nbsp;have adjustable windows, or will it&nbsp;have&nbsp;a static resolution main screen?&nbsp;

It has adjustable windows. Here's an example:

30" Dell?

How about this 70" 1080P Samsung DLP for a monitor?
