FourthApache, I've got a question on observer planes size: should it be 60x60 like all the other planes or more?
Currently every plane is shown on the map with a 58x58 resolution. Mo more (but can be less, if more than 1 plane is in the same hex).
This is a fixed value that depends on the hex dimension, because planes are shown inside the hex.
With the new game engine, planes will be shown over the hex, so probably we will be able to use bigger images (I'd like to use the real 60x60 size).
I've seen a 70x60 Bristol pointing East but also an Halberstadt 60x60 pointing NE...is there a standard size for them?
The only image that can be bigger than 60x60, is the nominal one, shown in the plane chart.
The 70x60 Bristol is an error for sure (I'll check it later). In the beginning we were planning to have bigger images for the 2 seater, even when on the map.
Working to the first release, we discovered this was impractical, but (it seems that) we forgot to shrink again the 2 seater images.
Now it's the game engine that shows the planes images with a fixed resolution, so images are resized at runtime. This was the reason we didn't see the problem since now.
Perhaps is not a bad idea do it now. Someone want to try? 
Thanks
