Alternate Viewer.exe Background


Recommended Posts

Posted

I posted this is another thread and haven't seen any action on it, so posting in here as well. Since the 3.001 update, the Aircraft Viewer (...\bin\viewer\Viewer.exe) no longer shows the custom splash screen normally located in ...\data\graphics\textures\userviewer\splash.jpg

 

I've tried to upscale the splash.jpg file to 4K (3840 × 2160), but that did not seem to help. Neither did dropping the splash.jpg file into the folder containing the viewer.exe tool. Is this nifty feature no longer supported? Or is it a different file-type, or folder location?

 

I use the custom background to help me "normalize" my skins in comparison to a screen capture of an in-game shot of some ground features. Seeing my works-in-progress against in-game terrain features is very helpful... much better, for me, than viewing my work against a blue background. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also, and slightly off-topic, any rumors as to when the latest skin templates will be available for the AC released with Kuban?

Yeah, strange, but it started working again in one of the 3.x interim patches. All is good again.

Yep - didn't notice exactly when it happened but it's working again for me as well.
