Hey all. Damn me, I had to go get a real job, haven't posted in months.

Anywho... ripped into the source the other day cause the one real peeve I have with FS2 is the way the space debris is rendered... behind EVERYTHING, regardless distance. Really throws thing out of perspective. So, I commented out what looked to be every relevent line, and lo and behold, on my first try, compiled error- and warning-free. First time for everything.
So now I have a FS2 EXE that doesn't show the space garbage used to indicate motion.

It actually ads a whole new level of realism, and changes the feel of the game, more than I thought... if anyone is interested at all, I can post the EXE, or just the lines to comment if you have copy of VC++ handy. =)

PS: Ice: You still looking for 2D Artists? I've been doing a bit of B5 stuff in Lightwave/POV-Ray/Paint Shop Pro at work.

I'm interested. I always like to see what people do to the source code, since I can't do it myself. If you don't want to post it, mpkcrave@aol.com
