Yes, as it had been:
Custom background only for menu area (GUI background), changable manually via putting a picture in 'Missions' folder. Unfortunately not possible via integration in GUI setup.
Splash screen will stay fixed.

The rework of the backgrounds was needed due to the widescreen support.
New backgrounds will have a matching version for 4:3 too of course - so it stays unique.

Undoubtly the game gets a kind of new look by this. We know, we cannot please everyone with these new GUI features, but I think, most will welcome it in any way. As usual we are open for critics and suggestions after the release.

The beauty of all this is if you use HSFX you can have some cake and eat some too..


Custom Splash under HSFX 6.0.15

Custom Mission screen .. which was doable all along....

Great stuff guys.. It still floors me that this sim and this community has been a part of my life for a decade and shows no sings of abating.

.. and still without a decent competitor in WWII aviation!

(sorry CoD or what it's called now) I feel like a traitor, to a great developer, but I bought it on steam, as support, and my comp couldn't handle it that well, and uninstalled quite a while ago (while IL2 is glued to my drive.. and to be honest 300+? planes, well modeled, or <20 (maybe a lot better modeled, both on FM and visials!?)

I can't afford a new computer for just one sim! So I continue to embrace this one.. and salutes the continues effort!

Isn't there a couple of P-36 Hawks in the works?

Yep... the Hawk-75 with a Finnish cockpit. Pretty excited to see it!

Does any official feel inclined to answer the question I raised on the previous page?
