A Custom British Duty Room Background

.

Greetings All,

I have been travelling nearly non-stop for work these last few weeks. However, the other night while sitting in my hotel room, I did manage to put together a new background for the British Duty Room, (I've been wanting to lose the generic one for a good long while). For anyone who might like to use it here is the link to the BMP image I have just parked online:

DutyRoom_Britain

Once you have it open just save it to your computer in the same BMP format.

To use it go to the Nations folder in your WOFF install, the path to which should look something like this:
C:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\Nations.
Once in the folder locate the "DutyRoom_Britain.bmp" and rename it "DutyRoom_BritainORIG.bmp". Then you can drop in the new one and it should display in the sim.

I built this to fit the native resolution of my monitor which is 1920 x 1080, if folks are using resolutions of the same ratio it should display without distortion. Here is how it should look for you:

Enjoy!

Wow, Really sweet looking

Yeah, looks great!

Absolutely fabulous Lou!!! A must add ASAP for me!!!!!!

Marvelous, Lou! So, you say you whipped this up while sitting in your hotel room, huh? Neat.

Nice work Lou!..

Just askin'...any chance of doing same for the other services.

Great looking Lou! This was my try at it some time a go, I may give yours a go this time

I didn't know you could edit that Duty room!

I wonder how I could add an entire Mess? Hmmmm.....

Very nice indeed.
And I second the wish for the other services...next time your sitting about of course.

Lou, looks great. Now if you would be so kind as to create one for the Germans.

And of course the French and the Americans!

Excellent, thanks Lou.

I can report that it does look fine at 2560x1440 resolution also.

Both look great!

Thanks everyone, glad you like the new look. When time allows I will consider knocking together versions for the other air services as well but for now, when I am at home, I need to devote my WOFF free time to building winter textures for St. Omer and Havrincourt Wood.

ArisFuser, your duty room tweaks look spiffing as well. Perhaps you should make others available too.

Very nice Lou I really like the Good Luck Charms hanging at the side of the board. I also like the line about After Action Reports! I usually never get to fill one out for that very reason.

.

Thanks MD, and glad you like the various charms and amulets. I actually went through and "hung" each one individually in order to get the shadows to look as they should.

In looking at your new graphic it appears to be more "roomy" for text.
Wonder if a German version would solve the old issue of:
Long Von German names + long rank titles + HA = taking two lines up on the screen thereby offsetting every pilots information below them.

Duke, I'm using Lou's new graphics and it doesn't solve that problem. My pilot has a long last name and it wraps.

Argggh. Thanks BJM!
