MSFN Forums > specify resolution of billboards during install

Jul 9 2006, 08:58 PM

I have created a custom winntbbu.dll using WinntbuED 0.3.1

When I preview the completed image, I am given 3 different preview resolution options
small 640x480
medium 800x600
large 1024x768

Now, when I preview my billboard using the large resolution, the billboard looks exactly how I want it to. The other resolutions affect the billboard in different ways (ie picture cut off/off centre, blurring etc)

Is there a way I can specify which resolution my Windows XP setup will run in? It appears to run at 640x480 which results in my billboards being skewed/off centre

I am using a 17" TFT Samsung monitor if that makes a difference.

download billboard from pinned topic

If you preview the billboard using WinntbuED 0.3.1 you will have a better understanding of what I am referring to

Hello,

Do you mean this? SetupBillboards is loaded automatically loaded in 1024x768?

Add these lines to you HIVESYS.INF in your i386 folder.

How would one change it to 800x600?

I'd imagine by changing the following variable:

1024 = 800
768 = 600

see below

i tried this same method, but with 1280 by 1024. at first everything is ok... once teh screen flickers twice while installing devices, I still get the blue border to the right and bottom of my billboard.

I don't think this will work. I think it got to do with the driverpack integrated which cause this problem. Nothing could to done.

I never thought there would be such a tweak.
Thanks a lot.
