SETUP

SETUP section

This section is used to set 3D display mode, to select sound parameters, and to calibrate Joystick.

3D display

When you click on 3D display icon a window appears with 8 possible 3D display mode.

- No external view

This mode does not provide 3D external view, it permits to get more speed on a slow Machine. i.e (386DX).

- Wire view

This mode provide a wire 3D external view which permits also to get more speed on a slow Machine. it may be the best solution with a computer based 386.

- Wire view + lights

This mode provide a wire 3D external view and all runways, road, etc ... lights

Rendering is more realistic than the previous one, specially in night period.

- Solid view

This mode provide Solid Polygon to render external view, with lights. It is the best mode for a computer based 486.

- Textured view

This mode provide Textured Polygon to render external view, with lights. It may be preferable to set it only on a strong computer.

- Textured view + haze

- Voxel view

- 3D using 3D specific board

These all 3 modes are not yet implemented. We foresee to implement them in a future version just for the fun, because our main goal is to provide a realistic IFR simulator, and the 3d external view aspect is sufficient with the available mode.
