Black Shark Graphics, updated?

[warthogmadman987]

Dated!? Are you kidding me? Graphics is one of LOMAC's strongest selling points in addition to its immersion...

 

In my honest opinion, this game wont be immersive enough until we get a fully dynamic campain.

Looks better then any other flight sim on the market if you ask me.

Quick tip.

 

Tap "Y" twice.

 

THEN they'd be background material ;)

Thanks for the tip, but Im usualy never bothered because the tasbar usualy covers that part :P

 

But good to know :thumbup:

Yeah it would be a remarkable day (Im guessing 4-6 years later) when the next LOMAC successor comes out and, once again, bogs down our computers, forcing all of us to upgrade our p2's to Crays. :P

[ALDEGA]

Please remember on the pace of upgrading some of these things that there are some things you can do easily when you're Microsoft, and can't do easily when you're a 30-man game studio in Moscow ;)

How many developers worked on MSFS, you reckon?

 

To be honest, I think Lomac's doing pretty well even without Microsoft's limitless resources taken into account - can it be improved further, yes . . . . . but I have no problems at all with the graphics in Black Shark.

I think you're confusing MSFS' resources with Windows'/Office's resources.

 

Shiny-rooved buildings. Nice - I haven't seen buildings with rooves that reflect the sun like that, but then they build them differently over the pond.

I think you should look at some satellite pictures ;)

 

Water on lakes - eerily familar from Lomac.

Not really.

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, Lockon can't actually have water above sea-level.

This can be seen at some locations with "lakes". The water is not at the same level as the land surrounding it. Somewhat comparable with OFP.

 

Clouds - eerily similar to Lomac.

You've got to be kidding. The clouds are the best looking feature in MSFS (since MSFS2004, where it was one of the main changes lol)

 

Ground textures - underneath the 3D buildings and trees, satellite photography a la F4. Down low . . . . . ?

F4 has simple tiles.

Lockon and MSFS have fancy tiles.

I’ve just spent my first hour with MSFSX, Deluxe edition. What a disappointment. I can now see how advanced a graphic engine is in Lock On.

[Witchking]

to be honest...yes....We thought lockon's cities are fps killers....just try MSFS.

 

I guess ED were lol! not making the code buggy. ;) :p ..

 

sorry for doubting u ED. :D
