Yeah I would says flying through trees is a little bit too BIG of a flaw for me to pretend is nonexistent, but thanks anyway!! I didn't ask them to be gods, plenty of other games have trees with a collision model. I really enjoy this game and will happily play with trees when it doesn't give the other players a huge advantage!

You would know better than anyone about that, you cry and accuse people of hacking every time you get : Shot down, out climbed, out turned, out dived, etc.... Maybe you want the advantage so you can hide in the trees.


Back on topic, yea FooBar my rig takes quite a fps hit when I change "Land Detail" from medium to high, but the visibility is much better and worth the fps. Keep grass off and tree's on very low keeps my FPS around 51-55 on average. With a 560ti I have no idea how you're getting 70 fps and everything on high...so share your secret!!

As you can read before I had settings on "high" but in fact setting were just "medium". So the 70 fps over sea werent real high fps but just only medium fps.

When I've managed to switch to real high settings my fps went down by about 10-15 or so.

Devs are directly aware of this.

And this is really my only real "problem" with the graphics engine which I really like otherwise! Maybe the overhaul will fix it as it would be a lot more efficient to not render rivers that you would not see at that distance and angle anyway?
