[Release] HD Backgrounds

Post by Norby »

Arrival reports show high-resolution background images using this addon.
Mission screens can be prepared to show these also, developer notes are in the HDBG wiki page.
Docking fees OXP can help to get arrival reports more often.

HD Backgrounds contain only a script providing alignments to fit images with different acpect ratios to the actual screen in selectable ways: zoom in or out, stretch or shrink horizontally.

HD Backgrounds Image Pack A contain HD and sometimes UHD images for core station types from this topic.

Image Pack B for OXP stations coming soon.

Here is an UHD screenshot, click for the 3840x2160 image:
