Client vs Player

[av8r13]

Hello,

i am new to mission building and have a question.

 

when building a single player mission i prefer to use "client" as opposed to "player" as it allows me to effectively build several missions onto one file.

 

my question is; does client take more resources or slow frame rates in relation to player? i know that client is primarily for multi-player, so i am wondering if this will effect my performance (FPS) in any way by using client instead of player.

 

thanks in advance

Client is for MP. Also work for SP. you will have the option to change aircrafts when you run units. set to client in SP missions when you want use more than one aircraft. Just be careful not to set Client and then Player at the same time edition, because ones you set player all the rest change to AI skills automatic

thanks Pepin.

 

the other question that i have is will i see a reduction in FPS (compared to "player") if i use client.

 

thanks again

It shouldn't have any effect on playability. The "Player" setting will force the user into that aircraft slot as soon as the mission loads, and will allow access to some additional features such as items in the scoring system pertaining to structured campaigns.

 

The "Client" setting will require the user to select the airframe, even if there is only one "Client" slot, after the mission loads.

I do the same on many practice missions, to have the option for example to start on the runway, or parked hot or parked cold.

I have never noticed any impact on FPS that could be attributed to this
