Hi all,

I was looking to get help with "Enemy Engaged 2" a Helicopter Flight Simulator, IT has TripleScreen Resolutions but the View is NOT Quite Right.. It seems smooshed Vertically??

It has a INI file where you can change Some Settings. 1 setting that can be changed is the FOV from the pilots view. here is a Screenshot with a 100 FOV:

Now the 2 Big Monitors in the Middle should be TALL and Skinny.. they seem Short and fat.. Now I looked for some word on this game as suggested by the Post at the top here and this game was NOT mentioned..

I am hoping someone with the ability will help me get this resolved. If you need a Legal Copy as there is NO Demo for this I have 2 LEGAL Offical Copies to give out.. For testing purposes..

I have 3 Sharp XR10X-L DLP PRojectors with a i5 2500K system for gaming.. I have 2 480GTX's in SLI mode for the higher resoltions plus I also game in 3D..

This game was released in around 2007 NOT to be Confused with Enemy Engaged Commanch Hokum released in 2000 you can get on GOG.. This is the 2nd release of this sim with DX9 support..There was ONLY 1 Patch released for this sim..

But too add confusion there are 2 different Published releases.. One by Strategy First and the other by G2. now both can be played MP but the Patches are different and can only use the Corresponding Patch depending on which Publisher your Copy is..

I have 1 Strategy First copy and a G2 Copy on the way Bought off ebay.. So if you are serious and can Help me fix this I can give you a Copy for FREE!!
WEll heres to hoping I can get this Fixed..
Thank You'

If that FOV setting in the ini file actually affects the game then the solution *might* be simple. Set that FOV value to 140, launch the game, and try to take a screenshot from the exact same location shown in the first pic. Post the new image here; comparing the two will probably reveal a lot about how the engine treats FOV.

Thanks for the pics.

The field of view certainly increases with higher values, but the cockpit still seems stretched horizontally (everything too wide). Is that true? The problem could also involve incorrect aspect ratio.

What was the default FOV value in the ini file before you changed it? If you don't mind, change the FOV back to the default, run the game at 1024x768 and take another screenshot just like the ones above. That should show the proper proportions of the cockpit.

Thanks.

Yes the Cockpit is stretched Horizontally.. The DEFAULT FOV is 80. here is a screenshot of it at 1024x768 rez and at 80 FOV:

I too think it is a AR and needs to be set to a 12:3 AR..but how I do NOT know that trick..

Based on this information and the pics you shared in the other thread, the primary issue is the aspect ratio. Correcting the AR might fix things by itself. I'll PM you about a potential fix.

OK cool hope we can get this fixed.. I PM'd you a bit ago so Please check your PM..

Hi Nephilim. A very nice gaming rig you have. This is a long shot and you have probably thought of this, but check the ini file for resolution. There may be a number which matches the reolution that you have the game set at somewhere. It may not be as obvious as a simple label "resolution'. You may be able to put in a custom resolution which will improve things by increasing the vertical resolution, and make the image a little "taller". If you have already thought of this, sorry for stating the obvious. Good luck.

well I did NOt think or know that but alas the ini file did not have any such entry to change the resolution..

But I believe someone I been in contact with has found a possible fix..So hopefully it will work I will post when I know more..

Hey Hayden COOL,,

I did get the program and ran it but it does not appear to be doing anything?? I saw the Hotkeys to turn it off and on. I also saw the HotKeys for the Zoom in and out but they dont appear to be doing anything??

I have the Program Flawless running and am I supposed to do anything else?? IT looks like all is checked in Flawless but ingame it still looks the same??

Probally user error on my end HEHE!!

Are you using the exact version you sent me? [you mention theres 2 versions, fixes are 100% specific]

Additionally try changing the version, or reselecting it (out of interest)

Yes I am using the Strategy First just like the copy I sent you.. But there is one issue I have it patched to 1.0.2 would that matter??

I will try unselecting it??

Seems I have version 1.0 - downloading 1.0.2

Check back in 10.

I've updated it to support 1.0.2

But I wont add it to the repository yet because theres already been heaps today and people are probably getting annoyed.

If you goto the tree view and right click Enemy Engaged 2 and click Re-Install it will download the new version that suppots v1.0.2

Cheers.

Hi HaYDeN,,

it Works.. Very Good Job thnx so much..I cant wait till I play a few rounds with the new look.. wish the developers had this fixed from the start wonder why they did that??

A game developed in 2006? - your lucky it works at all! even with a hack.

HeHe Shows my Ignorance did NOT know I was lucky it even worked with a Hack??

But at least it works..

Hi Hayden,

I been enjoying your Fix for EE2 but I ran into a small problem.. At Night the Cockpit is back to being wide and the fix is not working when using night vision..

I think the palette for the Night vision needs the fix too or can you check this out and see what needs to be adjusted ingame??

IT appears using Night vision breaks the fix?? Thnx again and hope to get this fixed..
