Hey guys!
Thanks for this awesome Mod and Contribution for all over the years!
I installed today for the first time the XWAU and one problem I cant fix is the following: When I am in the briefings, and some objects like ships are shown with their 3D model, it is way too zoomed in. It also extends beyond the borders sometimes.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Have seen on YT that its definitely not common.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Here is how the fix it.
In your xwa directory, there are a file named "ddraw.cfg".
You can open it with notepad.
The file contains a setting named "Concourse3DScale".
You can modify the value to change the zoom level in the briefing.

Thank you. Is there also a fix for the cut off ship symbols in the briefing? They are always cut off for me.

I think thats a Mapicons issue. You aren't using a standard english XWAU install are you?MechDonald wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:14 pmHere is a screenshot of that issue.JeremyaFr wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 8:45 pmHello,MechDonald wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 8:34 pmThank you.

Yes, I use a German installation of XWA. But that's not so bad now. I just thought I'd mention it here because there might be a quick solution to it.Ace Antilles wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:17 pmI think thats a Mapicons issue. You aren't using a standard english XWAU install are you?

You can change languages back and forth via Babu Friks Configurator.MechDonald wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:47 pmHey, that fixed it completely!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
That should be the same files as above and shouldn't cause any issues.

Ah okay. I didn't know that at all. I probably still had the file from the German patch.Ace Antilles wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 10:06 pmYou can change languages back and forth via Babu Friks Configurator.MechDonald wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:47 pmHey, that fixed it completely!!!

I will adapt the tab so that it runs without errors with Blue_Max's ray tracing shadows.
