Does anyone know if the graphics engine has been tweaked by ED for BS?

The thinking is for better playability instead of waiting for a computer that's not available....

Thanks,

I really hope so. The engine is fine the way it is except for one major part. The way that it handles objects is pretty bad. If you compare Microsoft flight sim with lock on there are huge differences of course, but if we look at the number of buildings it can show at nice frame rates and then compare that to the relatively small number that lock on can barely show its easy to come to the conclusion that lockons code has something lacking.

 

Even adding a nother f15 to the scene reduces fps dramatically. What the buildings need is LODs. This game is awesome and I don’t want to sound like an ass but if they would just add LOD models to all the objects the game would be able to run with everything at high and get 60 fps.

 

This is also proven by the LOD patch they recently put out. It gives all the ground vehicles rectangle place holders; something the game was without for well over a year. So I think its fare to say the only thing the engine needs is better object optimization.

I believe they have to since i heard they have to increase the detail of the ground to better adapt to the ka-50. So buildings have to be rendered better otherwise its going to be one slow war. Plus we saw an increase in fps with FC, i suppose we will see the same thing in BS.

I'm afraid there isn't much detail to remove from a six-sided block anymore, which is what nearly all buildings look like...? ;)

 

The ground object LOD addition was certainly one of those "simple and effective" improvements. The F/A-18 model was also without LODs previously, and it was a major problem to have a flight of 4 on the screen, even at several km distance. But that is all solved now.

 

Not sure if there are any obvious changes left to improve performance, or if ED is still touching the inner parts of the engine. I'm waiting myself to see if there have been further changes with 1.2.
