Soulres Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 One thing Ive learned from the F14,Hind and Gazelle, is that(Co-pilots) the screens and equipment are all reacting and moving as if I were doing it myself. This is wasted resources that could otherwise be used elsewhere.Things NOT needed are Sync'd - Co-pilot head tracking MFDs,Stick and other 'active' objects inside the co-pilots seat that otherwise cannot be seen. For those who want to see the co-pilots screens and equipment, add a checkbox option to enable/disable it. 2
FalcoGer Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 head tracking is even synced in external model. Also rotating the model of a head isn't much wasted resources. The resources are used actually drawing those things and calculating shadows and such. And something needs to be drawn there anyway (I imagine you don't want a black/purple box). it might as well be what is supposed to be there. Also I'm pretty sure (i very much hope) that DCS's graphics engine uses culling. Culling is a method of not drawing things that are not in view. Such as objects hidden behind other objects or out of the field of view entirely. I wouldn't worry about performance because of syncing displays. That's practically free in the scheme of things.
