better clouds and trees in next patch ?

[Ze-Jamz]

Agree with Doc, this is getting a bit tiresome these comparison threads...

yes no comparisions, at least CLOD will now have better sounds as ROF sound designer is working now for MG team too....miuahaha

[PeterPanPan]

I think it's fair enough to ask about having crashable trees at least. No need for comparisons to know that you shouldn't be able to fly through them. I know Luthier mentioned very soon after release that fixing this will not be easy, but let's hope they are making progress.

okay, comparisons are bad, I agree... but collision monitoring with respect to the trees is certainly no rocket science. If that's really not possible, then, certainly, the CoD has to be really bad

It becomes complex due to the sheer number of trees involved, if you have a nice simple solution that wont require large amounts of process time then please post it for Luthiers attention.

I somehow still don't get the point, why a simple, let's say, cylinder, which is overall even invisible (no load on the GPU...) should be such a huge thing to do or should have such a huge impact on framerates. Nobody is asking for a precise collision calculation regarding trees, it is basically enough that if you hit a tree, you crash...

How do you tell if the aircraft has collided with said cylinder?

[Querer]

Well, how do you tell the aircraft to collide with a solid house? Come on, if all the houses would not have a texture wrapped around and LODs and smoke rising from their rooftops and more complex structure than a simple block, the impact on the framerate would be minimal. Same should be true for trees... At least my old E8400 can easily handle building amount on "high" when the building detail is on "very low". So I guess it could still handle a solid tree with actually no detail in the structure, just an invisible cylinder... Well, oviously it is not that simple, I am sure they tried something... I was just wondering, that this is maybe a russian issue, as DCS seems to be not capable of having solid trees in their engine neither, lool (just kidding...)

when COD is ready everybody will say
PLEASE MAKE RISE OF FLIGHT LIKE COD

+1
I think its just Laziness, on there part
