ATI X1950 Pro Fix for Main Menu

[Arizona]

OK,

 

I just got around to installing Flaming Cliffs 2 and was disappointed to be greeted by a washed out, white menu.

 

But everything else seems to work fine...

 

It appears the suggested fix is to buy a new video card - which I'll do this summer when I build a new system. In the meantime, I'm stuck with this card.

 

So, I was using a printout to understand what the buttons are on the main menu, but then I decided to try to change the background to see if I could improve it.

 

I succeeded by changing the background to solid black. Now, there are no problems reading the main menu.

 

The file you need to change is here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\BlackShark\themes\main\images\LOP

 

The file for the background image is: base-menu-window.png

 

Use a photo editor / drawing program to change it to solid black. Other colors may work, but I'm not going to mess around with it anymore. It is fixed and I'll be flying.

The fact that I never thought of that makes me hate myself. Thanks for the idea, I'll make sure to link people to this if they have that issue. :)

No need for that...

 

Thanks to ED for releasing FC:2. I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to final boxed version of DCS:A-10.
