Map malfunction

Post by eastwindrain »

Game is running OK except during replay, when my recon flights take place I have a mismatched map overlay glitch on what would be the Air Combat/ Air Ground screen area I.E. right side bottom two thirds of screen.
Had the same problem with XP on a Compaq Persario, now running Windows 7 on HP TouchSmart 520 PC.

Have tried various command line switches but to no avail.

Looks like you're using widescreen.
It looks like the game is slow in drawing the last map panels. I see a similar thing sometimes even with normal window size.
You can slow down the game by increasing the message delays IIRC, but I find it not worth it just for that occasional slow map draw issue.

Correct the message delays are set to warp speed however this is only a minor problem which has no impact whatsoever on game play, all the combat animations are quickly resolved and really smooth.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Probably 1680 x 1050 would be the best window mode size for you.
I think that the two obligations you have are to be good at what you do and then to pass on your knowledge to a younger person

Thank you sir, I've been informed that window mode should help reduce the rate of occurrence.
