What happened to....

Thankyou luthier.

WOW, never seen that clip. Now that would be awesome but i understand the problem from a developer's point of view.
Thanks for the info Luthier. Hopefully we will see some of those features in the future
This game is truly awesome

Maybe I am completely wrong here (and if so correct me) but that sounds to me like that animation/background happenings are all being generated as if they were in sight. Same thing with the tree boxes on the other side of the map. Why do they all have to be generated if the player does not see or is nowhere near the event?

From what I understand occlusion is another feature that sounds good in theory but is not always a performance saver in all instances. I won't pretend to know exactly but I believe there's some overhead to using occlusion and in this case it's more the calculation of the movements that are the performance hit not the additional polygons from the pilot that would be saved from rendering.

It's really great to hear updates from the developers like this. And have them confirm that the these features WILL be implemented in the game and worked on as soon as they take care of higher priorities.

Please rephrase this, I dont know what you mean. Occlusions is a graphical effect, what does this have to do with the pilot bail or distance rendering?
Are you talking about Ambient occlusion?

He is talking about occlusion culling/hidden surface removal, not ambient occlusion.

Ok I havent heard of occlusion being used in that way (the term), but the overhead for not rendering or calculating geometry and lighting that cannot be seen is certainly better for performance than rendering it. Interms of determining what to render, I can see how it would be an issue over cities but they need to do some procedual programming to optimise this kind of thing.

Ein Bekannter aus Hamburg gab mir den Tipp, als ich mich über meine Verluste beim Poker beschwerte. Er meinte, ich solle mal win airline ausprobieren, weil er dort gute Erfahrungen gemacht hat. Die Online Casino Bets dort sind wirklich spannend gestaltet. Tatsächlich wendete sich mein Blatt nach einer halben Stunde massiv. Ich konnte meinen Einsatz verfünffachen und bin jetzt zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis. Es ist schön, wenn man endlich mal wieder Erfolg hat.
