Building Pop Up

[Feuerfalke]

Nothing. Just another thread with good old Tree: "I just complain about everything and when something does turn out as planned, I tell them I saw it coming."


Be happy, with Tree we've got our very own Sandbox-Nostradamus.

Hopefully the asnswer will be that it was an old beta copy that was given out for review.

Now try and calm down a bit boys, someone needs to ask the awkward questions.

Wings of prey has an horizon that appears to be much closer than Il2, in fact much much less going on in the background, fm's dm's etc so probably not a great example.

That poor horse of yours tree it wont even be good for glue by the time CoD is released

A10-C also has a haze that covers stuff up out towards the horizon. It's not too bad but there's a definite line with faded colours beyong the haze. It's ok for screen shots but just as killing of imersion as the pop up's in my opinion.

If posting in a thread started by you and responding to a post by you that I felt was, IMO misguided, is stalking, then yes

I think you may be getting a case of the old swelled head there Tree, if you don't want negative responses to your posts then either stop posting, stop whinging, or post something that is actually backed up with some proof, currently all your negative posts are based on speculation or guesswork by you, fortunately we will all find out the truth soon enough and you can either say I told you so, or no doubt find something else to complain about.

Some of the pop ups may be caused by low system resources like low ram etc.

Hey, hey whilst I don't necessarily agree with Tree's style of questioning I do (did) agree that it was a valid question.

Now that we have the available computing power to be able to run the original game at higher and higher settings I wish there was a way of making this issue less of an issue in the current engine.


Of course this doesn't stop me enjoying IL2 as it is and it won't stop me enjoying the new game but it would make my day if there was any improvement to the current situation.

Oh damn! I just fed the troll.

Would be nice if we had information on subjects like this prior to release but I suspect we'll have to wait until after release before we see how things really with these (minor) details.

People always seem to turn a simple question into a fight if it even in the least bit insinuates that IL 2 wont be perfect. Tree didn't ask anything that would be called trolling but everyone already has an opinion about him so you decide to act like this is some to defame IL 2. If it was anybody else, you would be answering question in a logical manner.

[Dano]

Valid question from Tree, it's a concern that popup is so visible and appears to have no fade in of any type like many many other games and sims, WoP and RoF included, would very much like to know if it's due to it being a beta build or if it'll be present in the release. Given that it happens in IL2 I'd guess that it's just Oleg's way of doing things but would like to be told otherwise.

I agree, I didn't like seeing the building popup either. Hopefully it can be adjusted. Maybe its a trick the engine uses to get more detail in on lower settings without sacrificing fps?

I swear there is older Igormir trailer footage, where in the last 30 seconds or so I think it shows a Spit flying over a city. There is little or no building popup, but there is some tree popup going on.

Start watching at around 3:00, and this looks much better than what was shown in that video of the guy flyign the su26.
