Returning, OMG, 4K is so much better now.

Post by gbaby »

I'm turning 70 this year, bought Harpoon from Electronics Boutique on it's release in 1989. Loved it, bought every iteration since. But CMANO kind of disappointed me, didn't play the same, Mission Editor drove me nuts, wanted more manual control, quit 10 years ago. Two years ago I tried again, but 4K just didn't work for me. Buttons all wrong, no real scaling.

Don't know why last week I decided to try CMO again and this was a real 4K test. Three completely different displays all running 4K:
1) A 57" ultrawide monitor set at 7680 x 2160.
2) An OLED 48" monitor running at 3840 x 2160 (left).
3) A 50" TV running also at 3840 x 2160 (top).

OMG, it all worked great, CMO looks fantastic on all of the diverse displays.

Now I'm playing again, repeating Tutorials and really loving it. CMO has changed so much from 10 years ago. So much better now and I feel I got much better control, especially with manual plotting, like Harpoon. But the Mission Editor is just so much better, though I have to be careful about the auto AI and learn it's "behavior", setting appropriate values for missions.

So happy to be back, since putting CMO off for so long, but Harpoon was always one of my best gaming memories, and CMO is so much more.

Actually, thanks to President Trump! World events are showing how technology advantages are making a world of difference. But it so inspired me to give CMO another go, and wow, I'm so happy I did. CMO still going strong surprised me. At my age, to feel like a kid at Christmas, it is unreal.

I own all the DLC's and looking forward to the next Tides of War. I'm hooked now, CMO is just so impressive. Harpoon memories are starting to fade.

Gaming! Ever since Atari 2600! My favorite is Sims and VR. I decided to show more of the "gaming" room. It has two VR equipped motion platforms, one for racing sims, one for flight sims. Now I have my gaming table setup for tactical sim (CMO). The hours putting into CMO now, oh my goodness.

The racing side with CMO corner...

This once "kid playroom" with different color walls was repainted to suit my "game room". I guess we never really grow up. Sure makes retirement a blast.
