I know it is..... but hey, it would look cool, right? And it's still far less work than building a model.

It's possible to fake skyboxes currently, but it's a HUGE pain because FS2 doesn't scale background bitmaps exactly the same for all positions in the sky. Very odd, but that's the way it is.

Yeh, I know. I've had planets look bizzarely oblong when they're near the edges of the screen.

No, that's a standard field of view distortion.

I mean, if you take a square bitmap, create 6 instances of it in the background editor, and then arrange them into a cube around the player, it's impossible to get the edges to meet by using the same scale factor each instance. The top and bottom of the cube will be slightly squashed.

Bugs that I can think of off the top of my head are compatability issues with the newest graphics cards.

On a geforce 3, fonts are all slightly corrupted, and the brightness slider doesn't work anymore.

I'm probably going to look in to fixing these myself, and maybe even updating / creating a D3D8 renderer, but if someone beats me to it, I'll be happy as hell.

I've got a few problems my self, the hud and option screens don't seem to tile properly, there are a few triangle sheering effects here and there. If anyone does fix this I'd be v. gratefull. (GF3 and latest divers installed correctly)
