Developer Performance Testing

[Raz_Specter]

Hi All,

Over the past few months we have been working tirelessly  to try and improve the performance in the most heavily populated areas utilizing the latest block technology we released a few month ago which basically replaced every city with brand new models and new POI models across all areas of the map.

We are excited to share with you some video tests and would love to hear you feedback.  As a reference we used YoYo's performance video "https://youtu.be/6zi44Us3xC0?si=kt7Jrk3JUNT_4LZD" as a baseline

In general we are seeing over 200 fps whilst still keeping all that great eye candy, which is paramount IMPO when flying low in a helo.

Outstanding work guys, that looks great compared to the last release, keen to see how it translates to VR.

@Raz_Specter Is there any chance we will see this in the next update?

We have requested that it be included in the next OB update, so fingers crossed

Just for your information we released a mission for the F15 for the South Atlantic map in the 2.9 release, go check it out and not a bad mission, have voice overs and everything

There is a part of falklands which has poor fps: looking west from port stanley, but it is not the stanley as when flying above in eastern direction, it is fine. The poor fps area extends to the mt longdon or those rocky mountains, some 10 km east of stanley, and then everything is ok. But if I turn back towards stanley from there, it starts again until i reach stanley.
I thought those rocks on the mountain crests are the culprit, but they are everywhere and do not make issues further.

Bought it, looks great, but still have to try it out better; hope there will be more ground surface objects like villages and roads to come.

Mods with lamas, sheep, condors and locals with ponchos LoL.
