Java, programming is not just programming, because when you say that it makes you look rather stupid. Any qualifications you claim here and cannot back up make you look idiotic. Programming simple operations for utilities is NOTHING like programming a game engine. Different language, different requirments. Also you are not a programmer either, unless you are willing to publish your personal details I would say argument from authority is best left unsaid.

You sound like a kid who knows how to play a song on a guitar and since he can do that, he can conduct an orchestra. Also please expand on what equipment you programme exactly? Does it use hitboxes?

The sort of programming I do is absolutely nothing like programming a game, that's why I never even considered offering solutions to Luthier. It's also why I'm only using generalities.

You said that you have minimal programming knowledge. Where do you get the nerve to criticize something when you have virtually no experience of your own?

I only have experience programming Unreal, but if it were me, rather than maintaining permanent collision on trees, I'd instead be setting each aircraft as the trigger. Aircraft are already doing a whole bunch of checks per tick, I'd set them to also check for the existence of trees/buildings/whatever within a set radius (based on point of origin) and then enable collision for any detected (disabling any that are active but no longer within said radius), which would keep the number of active "objects" to a minimum.

That said, I have no idea how actors are setup and controlled in this engine, so my methods may be insanely difficult or completely impossible as it stands. Whoever said that they need to get better programmers though is talking out their arse. The ones they have may well be exceptional, but if the engine they're working with was written by someone else and is a mess, then that'll put serious limitations on anyone.

let`s be clear - ROF, albeit less detailed, models the sense of altitude and flight above terrian much better than COD. COD`s terrain is just too cartoonish...

The best way forward for COD is when 777 takes on WWII combat flight sim

I dunno mate tbh I like the terrain but i do like the washed out look WoP, had too.
I tried GAPA and desaturated the colours a little and thought it looked great maybe you should have a play with it too

All the difference, if you butcher peoples opinions and cast your own while you dont even own the game we are discussing how can you talk like you know?

If you live in the U.S and are waiting for the game to arrive then maybe you should do exactly that and speak from experience rather than just bloat these posts with ignorant crap like I WIN I WIN!

Show me and the others you have probably annoyed by behaving immaturely, that you do have some respect for others by not arguing back to this post, and take on board what I am saying out of respect for yourself too.

I only offer opinions on things that I have seen on this board. If you see me doing otherwise, feel free to point out examples.

Yeah you would love that right? You must be a teenager beause only a teenager likes to bait people for fun.

By the way, I am not the slightest bit concerned that I may have annoyed people who come in here whining about this game. Not even a little.
As opposed you? Who doesnt even own the game and only comes here to start arguments with people who do own the game.

You have proved my point. There's nothing more to say.
