Slazi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I would advise caution here - this is the old map with the updated engine. Just wait until NTTR and the other new maps arrive, because I think they may tax your hardware far more than the current one. Just saying - don't want too much disappointment if things get slower with 2.0 ;) Which is the reason I don't have any interest in the new map. Frame rate is key for me in a sim. 1.5 has basically made the Mi-8 viable for me again. Combat was off limits with the previous engine due to massive frame rate drops. So much so, I had to make a post about the difference in the Mi-8 forums. A huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisse Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't think NTTR performance will be that bad. It's mostly desert with few trees. When Wags was streaming from NTTR, the framerate has been good. Sure, he has a beastly PC, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTR is not only desert, you have enormous cities... but you also have a scenery designed witha tech done for this engine. So I won't expect such an hit to performances even if NTTR will have tons more object more than Black Sea.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

So I won't expect such an hit to performances even if NTTR will have tons more object more than Black Sea. That would be one city if I understand things correctly. Still, I have seen Wags fly over it on his streams and videos and performance doesn't seem to take too much of a hit above Las Vegas. I'm still optimistic :) But then again, I'm seeing 70 - 125 fps under all types of conditions on the black sea map in the new engine, so there is a lot of headroom, if the performance were to be slightly worse on NTTR.

But really, I care much more for frame rate than beautiful scenery. Perfectly happy with what we have now. The only thing I would really like is AI not being able to see through trees.

shagrat Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I want to chime in and point to all the "little changes" under the hood. So many gorgeous changes to the Mission Editor! -Client slots in the SAME flight! Reduces amount if trigger conditions, finally ATC gives correct feedback, etc. so great to have this fixed. -new detailed options to tell aircraft what to do/attack or not to do/attack. -detailed emission control and the fantastic options to prevent pre mature eja... erm, launch of missiles. Preventing a ground attack AI plane from dropping its bombs when the first radar beam hits... etc. -the little '?' near the Group name, that shows ObjectID for scripting! -the option to switch to Satellite Map view and plain Map view in ME ..and whatever I missed until now. So many great fixes and additions in the ME that will help Mission Builders to create stuff to do! Thanks ED, great job.

VTJS17_Fire Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 My first impressions, part 1: EDGE is stunning. ED did an amazing job.

arkroyale048 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Loved the FPS boost overall. Loading times are a bit the same imho. There's an FPS drop when firing Vikhrs in the Black Shark. Also; might just be me, but tank ATGMs seems to have a longer range now and with no laser warning reciever cue.

Madman777 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've mostly played with the blackshark, and down low the performance is not that great. I only have a GTX 560ti, so I don't expect much. There are lots of bugs and it crashes too much to really get into any flying. Gonna try again in a couple months.

theGozr Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks pretty nice yes , good performance .. Gui is good .. hopefully it will still good when 2.0 will be here . I'm very please atm. the real turn down is the FOV problem and need to have some kind of controls. Fly it like you stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnis Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Went from 50fps with high/medium settings to getting 80+fps flying in the blank North-East corner of the map. Went from 30 to 70 in the F-15 Intercept Instant Action Mission. Well done ED. I look forward to the full non-beta releases of 1.5 and 2. It's awesome to see a game actually get significantly better performance with an update like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbur81 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This update is phenomenal! And free...which blows my mind. I'm really enjoying. One nit-pick first impression, though. When I look at the new afterburner effect (at least on the F-15), the effect/animation is brilliant. But it seems like the plume is too short for the Eagle.
