Oleg's dream

So it's not so much built for "tomorrow's computers" as merely trying to do too much. However, with it released and being steadily optimised and debugged, the fact is that PC's will continue to gain power and memory and thus will slowly catch up to the features that are currently "overoptimistic".

Taking the long view, it's going to be pretty amazing, even if the short view is a tad frustrating.

Nonsense talking, and spreading like a cancer over this forum. The sim runs well in TODAY hardware, it's nothing so "impossible" to run, but we have major bugs that restrain fluid performance sometimes.

I can run really ok (+40FPS, quality high, lots of trees) in my Phenom X4 3.4 Ghz, 4GB RAM, GTX 560 Ti. That's not a "tomorrow's computer". Please, can we stop talking this nonsense? I'll be glad... It's boring...

As I said, people are LAZY. People like to spend all money in some rig, get a game and put all sliders UP, even SSAO, and expect fluid +60 FPS. Try that in RoF: all sliders up, that not do 0,1% in visual quality upgrade but make the sim a slideshow... People act as console players, that don't have to know how to configure game graphic settings. I post a lot of videos with high quality settings and great performance, but people STILL talking this kind of thing... "Future harware"... Maybe I have a NASA computer and don't know!

Strange!
