No, I haven't called Cinemaware yet... :-)
I have a 4.3 A2000 w/ 1Mb Agnus and two floppies. During some
air-air combat sequences the colors start becoming dull and flat.
This is a palette change, not a monitor change, as all of color <x>
changes to color <y>. I hooked up my b/w out to another monitor and
the picture looked just as bad (only it was in b/w). Once I exit
the air-air scene, all of the colors go back to normal.
Anyone else experience this sort of thing?
Is Cinemaware on the net?
Ta..

And dawn missions started out with the screen rather dark and growing progressively lighter. So....i think what you're seeing is nothing more sinister than just an attempt to add realism to the game by Cinemaware. I could be wrong.....but the correlation is too consistent to be just a coincidence. Read the log before you take off. It'll clue you in to the dawn and dusk missions. -Chuck -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chuck Joslin Commodore-Amiga Education Market Specialist AmiComp Computer Center Orlando, Florida (407)366-2000 BBS (407)366-6336 Only Amiga!

The dulling of the colors in Wings is not a defect. It is nothing more than the sun is going down.... Granted, it happens faster than it does in real life.... Later.
