    After a ton of complaining and not providing the info you need to help me, I finally decided to just go ahead and take some pictures.


    Before you look at them, first know that the font sizes are no problem.
    My problem is with the menu positioning.
    It just puts on letterboxes instead of making it a wide view. See for yourselves.



    Edit: I hope the fact that I'm playing Discovery too won't offend anyone..












    Too much gets chopped off.


    Did anyone here encounter a similar problem?
    Maybe you found a solution?

    I just need to Install Crossfire so that I'll get the clean version of the inis, and start editing them away.
    Anyway, thanks for your patience in trying to help me.

    1. I said 1920x1200 so that one with that native resolution could have the option to try on ALL resolutions from it downwards(1920x1200, 1680x1050 which has already been done, 1600x900, 1440x990 and on....)
    Also, didn't you read my full post? I DO know about different aspect ratios, and I care about that difference more than others do, hence "aspect ratio nazi".




    2. That's because I was using my cell phone, and I didn't have access to Freelancer yet. I will in a few hours.


    3. I meant font sizes for each resolution, that'll fit in a similar way to 1680x1050. Different sizes for different resolutions.


    4. + 5. A person with a screen resolution of 1920x1200 could try every resolution, have several copies of Fonts.ini, each copy for each resolution - in each copy there would be values he found best for each resolution. A person with a screen resolution of 1920x1200 because he has that res, and can go lower to any other resolutions.


    6. I know, I know.

    I know how to make a screen shot, about FOV and aspect ratio(I'm an aspect ratio nazi, actually, but never mind), so don't worry about that.
    I'll try either today or tomorrow, first by changing FOV, then experimenting with font sizes.


    I think someone with a screen res of 1920x1200 should try and make an XML mod (via FLMM, ofcourse) that has options for different widescreen resolutions, with each option having it's own values for FOV and Font sizes.
    That could be a good idea, maybe anyone with different resolutions who's changed font sizes to fit his screen should give the values, to make this mod happen.

    I tried without editing the fonts.
    No good, the interface was cropped up, and I don't know what values would work with the fonts.
    All I wanted for almost a year is for someone to find the perfect values for 1280x720, just like there are for 1680x1050.

    Please, can someone give me the tools to calculate values for 1280x720?
    That alone will bring me back to CrossFire, my first FreeLancer mod, all the way back from 2005.

    That's the thing - I did change the camera values and resolution, that was not a problem.
    But I really had no idea on how to edit the fonts...

    I know I'm bumping this, but does anyone know how to get values right for 1280x720?
    I REALLY wanna play Freelancer on HD, but there seems to be only 1680x1050...
    Anyone?

    I be damned!
    This mod is so big, they should give it an entire "Crossfire mod for Freelancer" day in CNN or something!
    The day Crossfire 1.8 is finished shall be an international holiday, with emphasis on "holy (SHIT!)"!

    This.


    It's almost as if you were saying that to me...
    Anyway, I don't think anyone should rush their work.
    It just shouldn't be.
    Heck, I haven't even tried to explore the whole of CF 1.7, but I know for sure that when CF 1.8 is complete, I'll definitely come back to Freelancer.

    OP, I know what's wrong.
    The problem is that when Fraps records FL on your PC, I believe it records the sound too high(volume).
    The way to solve it is to right click the sound icon on the taskbar, go to recording, and find the inputs for recording(i.e mic, stereo mix), and lower the stereo mix ALOT.
    Test with Fraps and with the stereo mix untill you find a good volume.

    Ahem, if you don't mind me interrupting, OFCOURSE you CAN change the MUSIC you hear...
    Duh, it's not like you're cheating or something...
    Unless, ofcourse, if you're considering the psychological effects the different music has on you... :S
