Anyone know what would cause the FS2002 splashscreen to display at a different resolution than when the program scenery loads?
I have FS2002 Pro and the default splashscreen of the 747 displays with the sky as very distinct graduated bands in lieu of a transition between light to dark blue. No big deal really, but recently decided on a new look, so I downloaded the Red Arrows Display Team flying the BAE Hawk in formation. The image displays with the aircraft as blue in lieu of red... . This may also occur when I boot up, since the Windows 98 splashscreen clouds seem to display at a lower res but have no comparison to confirm the original image resolution. The colors for both dlgsplash.bmp images display fine in PhotoShop, PhotoPaint, XnView, etc.

I am running Win98 with an nVidia GeForce2 MX 64Mb at 1152x864 32bit(TrueColor). It seems this would be a display card or display setting issue not specific to FS, but it does not occur with other programs. This is the only game I have installed, all other programs are business graphics, animation(3DS MAX), photo editing, etc.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks

Windows 98 logo screen is a low res screen. Short of replacing it, there's nothing you can do about it. It's not a problem with your P.C.

As Matt said, the default FS2002 splash screen has inherent banding. Again - not a P.C. problem.

There are plenty of splashcreens in the downloads section and you might want to download the splash screen randomiser (free) from Dreamfleet here:
