Building Pop Up

[winny]

Anyone who's making assumptions about CoD purley on the way it looks is missing the point.

The FM and DM will make or break CoD. They are the most complicated parts. It's all good and well comparing CoD to ALREADY RELEASED games but it's not particularly fair. Some of these complaints sound like you guys have already paid for the game..

WoP looks great but the terrain is HOPELESSLY out of scale. Apache AA is also set in very small maps. Neither of these games have very deep physics either.

Wait for it to come out, buy it, install it, then judge it. It's the only fair way.

You seem a fan of implication by question. Perhaps you need to retake logic 101 and learn how to phrase questions that are constructive and not objectionable.
Is it at all possible that maybe...just maybe, a question consisting of "why did the the buildings suffer from the old 'building pop up' issue that Il2 suffered from" might ilicit a response from the devs?
I think your chances of getting an answer are infinitely higher if you don't seem to be trying your very best to iritate people. Unless of course you don't want an answer, and your intention is entirely to iritate people.

Its just a dumb question, typical of tree, and that anyone with half a brain should know the answer to.

clue, not everyone's computer is the same.

clue, you don't write software, only for the highest spec computer around.

Actually, even as a long time advocate of the IL2 series and eagerly anticipating the new game, I'm curious to know if this annoying issue is any less annoying in the new engine.

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.

nah mate you didn't feed the troll, if Tree's questions or requests were put forth in the same maner as your post there is a good chance that they would be much better recieved by the devs and general comunity.

Its not a problem in Wings Of Prey, they have got some kind of fade thing going on which stops the buildings suddenly popping up. I would have asked the question sooner but with 10 days from release its the first time ive seen a plane fly over a city, so I think the question is more than relevant. 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.

Its not an awkward question, its a very, very poorly put question.
Again, the underlying "why the building popup" question is great, it needs to be asked, and idealy answered...but mate, dont use implication by question... you have a rubbish way with words that just makes people want you to have an infarction.

I consider my questions to be more direct than others, I would agree with that, however I have experimented with what you would say 'correctly' asked questions and they usually get zero response, especially if there is some truth to them and the dev's just dont want to talk about it. Remember how many times I politley asked to see a screen shot in DX11, well over a year of asking and getting zero response told me that it had been dropped before the official announcement. The direct approach is best at least it stirs up some interest and gets us talking and who knows even the Dev's might just join in??!

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
