GPL letterboxing: like it?

GPL letterboxing: like it?

by Bill Met » Wed, 08 Apr 1998 04:00:00

  I'm just curious as to what people's opinions are of the letterboxed
screens in GPL.  It's a real hot button for most people when it comes to
videos.
  Personally, I like the effect in GPL a lot.

I like it. But then I like everything about this demo so far!

 Bill,
    I love the letterbox view, this may be the one of the smartest things
Papy did with the demo. I noticed right away how much more view you have
without having the little tunnel of vision normally associated with a 4:3
aspect ratio screen view. Of course I feel the same way about films on disc,
I won't but 'em unless they _are_ letterboxed.
    All the best, Mike

So it's supposed to look that way?  Hehe, I just assumed my monitor
was out of adjustment at 800x600 and stretched the vertical to
fullscreen.  Oh well, *love* the sim and can't stop playing it! :)

  LOL. Well one of us has a problem here. I never even noticed,
hehehehehe. This means either I don't know what's going on around me
(probable) or you guys are not focussing on the track enough (only you
can answer this).
