Exhaust trail FPS drop workaround

[Bagpipe]

Hi,

 

The black exhaust trail has been causing huge FPS drops for a while.

 

I have found that by disabling MSAA and only using SSAA x2 coupled with editing turbulancedExhaustTrail.lua file to show the following;

 

Effect = {

{ -- right

Type = "turbulancedExhaustTrail",

Texture = "puff01.dds",

ParticlesLimit = 70,

LODdistance = 200,

 

Has a pronounced reduction in FPS impact while retaining the effect.

 

These are the first figures i have punched in for particles and LODdistance so with some further investigation. hopefully the ED team can get it just right and patch so it wont affect IC.

 

Thank you
