Issue "Invalid Resolution" error popup due to 1024px default (minor)

[ThomasAH]

- Added new option "Full Dynamics Overcast Texture Resolution" and defaulted this at 1024-32bit (was locked previously to 512-dxt) for user control and increase default overcast resolution in Full Dynamics mode

Summary of problem: "Invalid Resolution" error popup due to 1024px default

Product Name/Version/Build: ASCA SP1 beta 6157

After upgrading from ASCA Hotfix 4 (6107) the default setting for "Full Dynamics Overcast Texture Resolution" is 1024x1024.
When having configured 512x512 DXT for cloud textures, this is an invalid setting.
When grabbing the slider to reduce it to 512x512, too, an error popup "Invalid Resolution - Full Dynamics Overcast Texture Resolution must be less than or equal to your normal Cloud Texture Resolution" appears, but after confirming this with OK, the lower resolution is active, so only a minor/cosmetic issue.

I have not verified what happens if I would have connected to FSX with the too high default setting.

Expected behaviour: Set it to the maximum of 1024x1024 and the current Clould Textures Resolution setting when starting ASCA.
(this setting automatically reduces if Cloud Textures Resolution is reduced, so it is fine when in this situation)

Done, ticket #ODE-191-78078

I have found an easy way to reproduce it:

My GraphicsOptions.cfg currently contains:

CIRRUSQUALITY = 1
CLOUDTEXTUREQUALITY = 1
FULLDYNAMICSOVERCASTTEXTUREQUALITY = 1

If I remove the line "FULLDYNAMICSOVERCASTTEXTUREQUALITY = 1", then it will be like before updating from Hotfix4 to beta-SP1.

When I now start ASCA and go to settings, the following is displayed:


When changing the (invalid) value 1024x1024 to 512x512, the error popup appears, but the new value is accepted:


But as written above: The error popup is not the real problem, but that the not yet created config value for FULLDYNAMICSOVERCASTTEXTUREQUALITY defaults to a value invalid in this situation.

As written in the support ticket:

I just restored the configuration from before build 6157, then installed build 6171.
The setting FULLDYNAMICSOVERCASTTEXTUREQUALITY = 1 was automatically added to GraphicsOptions.cfg, so everything is fine now.

Thank you,
Thomas
