3D vs 6DOF

[Krechet76]

Hi Guys!!

 

After flying with the new non-clicable cockpits I decided to ask you for a vote poll (Who can organize it?)

 

 

The new 6DOF cockpits for Su-27, 25 are nice and definitely a progress, but they do slow down the FPS at least by 30% on my IMAC 27" machine with all delais MAXed. I can definilety put some of the setting lower and it will run Ok. But the other reason for my request is that I don't use Track IR.... and I really miss RECARDO's HD cockpits.

So the question is who would support the idea of making the 6DOF ckockpits optional in the game settings?

It would probably be Ok for those who don't want to sacrifice FPS for unused 6DOF feature and probably cockpit shadows, which are just a nice eyecandy. By the way, cockpit shadows ARE optional

 

I hope it is not too difficult to apply in the next patch or at least there is some way to manually replace the su-27 cockpit with 3D textures (!?!).

 

(who can tell me how?)

 

Thank you for understanding.

And I hope it IS easy to make an on-off button in the game menu.

 

Best regards

There is no such thing as 3D textures... textures are always 2D. Now, there is a 3D cockpit and there is 6DoF and they are not the same thing. What you want it non 3D cockpit (2D cockpit)... 6DoF is just ability to move point of view around but don't expect ED to spend so much time into making new 3D cockpits then also to accommodate people that have slow PC's to have option of using very old 2D cockpits. You can look at forums for ways to make a mod to use old 2D cockpits but that's about it.

YEAP! You are right. 2D. this is what I wrote first and then changed to 3D)) I thought 2D term is too old to be the case)) But you got me right - I need old, fast, sweet RECARDO's 2D cockpit for Su-27) Can somebody tell me how to change back to 2D from the current 3D?

 

thanx

Just to be clear, the old pits weren't actually completely 2D, rather fairly low poly 3D, & built to only be viewed from a specific view point (anthing you couldn't see from that point wasn't necessarily there). Try turning on 3D vision with the Su-33 cockpit & you'll see that.

That's why there could be a 6DOF hack for the Su-25T cockpit, and why with that hack there were visible gaps in the cockpit model.

The problem's you're having aren't because they're 3D, it's that they're much more detailed 3D than the previous itterations.

Guys, is it really important how to call the cockpits correctly: 2D, 3D low res, 3D high Res?? The point is that the LAST cockpits version Cuts the FPS. And I actually found another thread featured to this problem. Besides, people complain about the drop of FPS with the night illumination on.

SO the request to the developers is - PLEASE, make a SMALL swith - old/new cockpits ON/OFF! It will cost NOTHING)) but will make it much smoother to fly for all of us, just like without cockpit shadows, Too much realism is harming the gameplay.

 

thanx
