Hey all...

Does anyone know an approximate size that a background should be to move along with turning in a
world? thanks...

I usually make mine about 3000 wide...
but it depends on the size of your 3d window as to how it rotates with
you...

I agree with Hal. 3000 pixels wide works out perfectly... but its then a
very big download. 2400 still gives an acceptable view when turning...
the sacrifice of the small amount of warping is made up by the 20% saving on
file size.

Gosh it would be nice if Alpha World used a decent width backdrop... their
backdrops, like most out there, are around 1500 pixels wide.

Regards, Justin

No, it would be NICE if AW was programmed competently enough to not rotate backdrops differently depending on 3D pane size! Let's not forget the underlying problems behind AW: bad programming, bad initial design, and bad management.
