Not a TrOLL

Hey folks - Love, Love, Love Blackshark ....

 

I DL the DEMO for Wings of Prey and it is gorgeous ! Simply stunning and runs fantastic on my rig-yet black shark chugs along at 30-40 FPS. What's the deal? Is it the calculations of all the systems that make BS slow down and the lack of system info in WoP that makes in run so smooth? If they could take the scenery from WoP and get BS to run on it - WOW !

 

This is not an opportunistic TROLL thread - just trying to get some discussion going and some like minded thinking going. could BS use a new Graphics engine or, for lack of a better way to put it, am I that naive?

 

 

Thank You

There is more things going on in the background of BS and I think BOP is more of an Arcade style by what I hear. Most of the time w/ games have HIGH graphics, it does not have scripting like BS and other things going on simutanously on the map. Games like BOP usually have triggers to start stuff when you reach an area as well. Where as BS has stuff happening everywhere all the time.

BS/FC2 both require very long viewdistances, the likes of which the comparatively tiny BOP maps cannot replicate. It is a trade-off - and that is simply one of the reasons for things being as they are currently.

Further, as discussed previously on this forum, while the GFX engine is up for enhancement, this is a gradual/incremental project so far, not a wholesale replacement.

Yeah, BoP has a good couple advantages:

1) Nothing much to "simulate"

2) Extremely simplistic aircraft (even in "simulator" mode that thing is pretty much just arcade)

3) Extremely small world. Those maps are absolutely tiny.

 

Graphics is a small thing here. BoP has very little for the CPU to do and crams in lots for the GPU instead. DCS is the other way around - it has a huge amount of stuff that needs to be done with the CPU, and therefore other things are kept relatively light. And as for the graphics in the terrain and such - DCS has a vastly larger world to load and render than BoP, which takes the resources that BoP uses to put more detail in a really small world.

Nothing wrong with 30-40 FPS, that should be perfectly smooth, turn off your frame rate counter and enjoy :thumbup:

M31 is right.. no need of discussion!)
