rrohde Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Smoke plumes from explosions (or burning fires, etc) should cast shadows on the ground for immersion. Is that in the pipeline already?

rrohde Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yeah, can't wait to see the overall improved effects; just hoping that this particular ones mentioned above doesn't get overlooked. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1942 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It'll come. I think at some point we have to appreciate that we simply cannot have ALL the eye candy we desire without driving our FPS into single digits.:mad: Yes, over time hardware advances will permit more and more of that type of stuff and I imagine based upon their track record, ED will be right on top of it.:thumbup: Currently I see more people complaining about not being able to run DCSW smoothly than I do complaints about graphical details. I think patience is in order.:music_whistling: Intel i5-4690K Devil's Canyon, GForce TitanX, ASUS Z-97A MB, 16GB GDDR3 GSkill mem, Samsung SSD X3,Track IR, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswind pedals, Acer XB280HK monitor,GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think patience is in order.:music_whistling: That's what graphics options are for. Scale quality over different type of PCs. Today, with a i7 2600 and a GTX 670 to have decent FPS I have almost everything in LOW settings. Tomorrow, with the most advanced hardware that I'll be able to buy, I'll be able to use HIGH settings with smooth framerate... that's how PC software goes. But to avoid more realistic-looking graphics to mantain retro-hardware compatibility is not the right path. Scalability is the path (and the definition of "scalable graphics" is born at least 20 years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
