Is it possible to save graphic settings and then have them bound to a key. So that if you are in the middle of a fight, and three cap ships with 20 defenders jump in... you can just hit a button and bam, your settings drop?

umm.. don't quote me on this, but it sounds pretty simple.. I keep all my custom binds, settings, etc., in a separate custom.cfg file, that I "/load" into a stock wgaf.cfg.. When I re-load that file after a reset, I *think* I've noticed near-instant detail-level changes..... I dunno, maybe I had to dock for the setting to update....

long story short, this shouldn't be too hard to implement...

LOD, background detail, effects detail, AA resolution and rglow can be changed dynamically. Everything else requires a texture reload, which is about 20-30 seconds.

I think I see where this is going -- you can set up custom binds to lower the strain on your computer during large battles, or even dogfighting, and then restore those fancy high-quality settings when you're just cruising around, botting or trading. Hmm. Is it really worth the bother, except for the cap ship battles?

Well... I *like* to shoot pics of VO... there is a *lot* to see out there...

For some, it *would* be worth (enjoyment-wise) the perf-gain to switch back and forth...

Gavan... I'll play with them, and let you know...
