Alfa Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Last I heard I think it was around 11-15 Megs. The patch installer for the latest beta(# 6) is almost exactly 50 mb in size and the first one was ~45 mb, so I dont know where you heard that :) Cheers, - JJ. JJ
Cobra360 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 The patch installer for the latest beta(# 6) is almost exactly 50 mb in size and the first one was ~45 mb, so I dont know where you heard that :) Cheers, - JJ. Wow. Really? Don't know what I was thinking of. I think it was the new F4:AF patch.
Alfa Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Wow. Really? Yeah it is pretty big - I was surprised by the filesize myself :) Cheers, - JJ. JJ
ED Team Laivynas Posted October 9, 2005 ED Team Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah it is pretty big - I was surprised by the filesize myself :) Cheers, - JJ. Why? :) There are new models of weapons and textures for them. :) Best Regards, Dmitry. "Чтобы дойти до цели, надо прежде всего идти." © О. Бальзак
Cobra360 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 I guess some if it is down to the new weapon model textures. Well when it comes to patches it's generally the case of the bigger the better. No wonder it's taking so long to test.
Alfa Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Why? :) There are new models of weapons and textures for them. :) Yes but the 3D models of weapons do not amount to that much - especially not when compressed into an installer :) . But you got a point about the textures - that is - not the textures for the weapons themselves, but I guess it means that the entire CDDS to which they are inserted needs to be included....and that would mean a significant increase in filesize :) Cheers, - JJ.

Alfa Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 You could fit an F-18 into 50 megs..:) Yes easily..... But I am afraid that is a case of some very wishful thinking :biggrin: Cheers, - JJ. JJ
SuperKungFu Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 You could fit an F-18 into 50 megs forget the F-18, you could shove a new flanker model in there lol. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BuzzU Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 forget the F-18, you could shove a new flanker model in there lol. ;) True, but you already have a Flanker that's carrier based and can drop bombs..;) Buzz
SuperKungFu Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 yea i was just talking about a new model for the existing Su-27/33. Those models had little or no improvements from flanker 2.5. If you compare the nose of the aircraft (which is jagged) it comes no where close to the better looking/later developed models such as the Mig-29, F-18, and Su-25T. And since the Su-27/33 are frequently used in lock on movies, it's always a drag to see this beautiful plane at its worst. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cobra360 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Here, here, you have my vote on that SuperKungFu. ED neglecting the origonal star of the show. :( . We just have to make do with third party skins which we shouldn't have to. The F-15 could do with a like of paint aswell. But I'd like to see the Flanker done first.
Trident Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 LOL, I've frequently wondered if ED wouldn't have been better off making Flanker3.0 instead of LOMAC ;)
SuperKungFu Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 yea i think they would have been better off with Flanker3.0. Probably better looking flanker models and no more complaints about the american birds. :tongue: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
