Resolution submenu (View menu)

The Resolution submenu of the view menu can be used to select one of the three available resolutions for viewing the track polygons. The highest resolution is used in the game whenever the car becomes close enough, while the two other resolutions are used to save computing time when the car is still far away.

The lowest resolutions allow faster redrawing of the T3ED screen, but since some track vertices are not visible in these modes it is not recommended to work with them when moving track blocks (the highest resolution should always be used in order to ensure that the track structure is not messed up after a block is moved). Use of the low resolutions is also not recommended because it then becomes impossible to select a vertex which only belongs to a high-resolution polygon.

However, operations such as modifying polygon textures or deleting polygons must be performed in all three resolutions, and therefore require switching between the three available modes.
