Im with ya Wilson, the current settings defo are not optimised enough to be used i guess....if enough ppl say so i reckon things might get put back to a more playable level. btw i didnt get a delay loading tonite...the mission loaded straight away in under 1 minute. just the clouds issue for me :(

Wilson,

The old mission was put back up this morning. The test of the new one didn't go well. As far as the clouds they do give you a minor fps hit but make the sim 100 times better. 30 fps to 60 fps is not noticible with this sim.

I agree the heavy/medium clouds make the game "look" better but they sure as hell dont make it "feel" better. A 30% hit to my fps is very noticeable. Im just passing along what has been mentioned to me on the server and from my own experiences. Others mustnt get the same hit or dont seem to mind.

I played at around 0100 CST and found it to be MUCH improved. I actually enjoyed the new clouds and didn't see a performance hit at all.

It was the mission that was impacting my performance, not so much the config. I also loaded in slicker than snot like before.

Jed, you might take a look at your settings if you're still having issues after the mission changed back because it's like night and day for me.

Single figure FPS last night, no sound (first time that's happened to me) and had to give up after the third attempt. Around 24+ players on.

Could this have something to do with clouds/weather or custom skin download? Just guessing here as i haven't been online since last week when the previous mission was running, which was smooth with a similar amount of players.

Is there any chance of running the server with out the AI to test if its that? plus getting hard still chasing ghost dots.

Sunday 4pm UK time. Game running perfectly with full fps locked at 60 (vsync on). Low clouds only....guess they do make a diff afterall :P

Flew on SYN today,with no issues, except my terrible flying! :)

Hey guys

I have a request. Could you give me (or anyone who's interested) some information regarding traffic for hosting? E.g. average traffic per month / user connected?

Also some estimations regarding CPU and RAM consumption would be nice.

I'm thinking of hosting for CloD so the numbers would interest me.

Thanks :)
