Does the screen resolution and texture size matter?
In P-51D default back view show seat-back only (in whole screen, heh), its correct?

I asked HT the same question  :)
It shouldn't matter as long as you always use the same view for each test.

I take it that testing is still offline on trinity only?

hud: You can fly it online. But is hard to do a standard test online.
So for the formal FPS results, the offline trinity test is best.

OK, and do we need to use the AHoptest.exe to open AH if we wish to try it online?

I'm surprised by the leap in my fps in ground vis mode, and would like to see the difference it makes online (where the crappy framerates made things extremely difficult).

Impressive ground view improovements, good improovements overall.

I noticed that the lighting of object is diffrent with the optimisation, when i switch the op object on the cieling is lighted a bit, i actually like it makes the tower feel more comfortable. Still i think the optimisation shouldnt change the brightness of the objects ?

The handle of the coffee cup gets darker... looks more solid and profiled.

Did you change the light calculations with the optimisation to, or is it another part of new code that gets switched on/off on accidant in the test?

Schutt: Basic Lighting doesn't change but double sided polies, like the tower ceiling will get lit differently. To not do so would decrease the optimization.


There are other large improvments, like when you are viewing a group of bombers. Also we have changed some shapes to improve things overal, but they are not compatible with the current online version, so they will wait until the real release.

Did the test on my current game PC. Improved FR by average 30%. WOW. WTG! I hope that lasts :). Flying with the Test.exe online in TA, the FR was even higher than offline on trinity. More than double to 130+ *gasp*

Am currently updating my Laptop (had still Vers 2.01). It had difficulties when P38 or Ju88 were in range below d400 (FR down to 2-3). Ill post result on that later.

Nomde:

Your performance seems odd to me, guessing you are running out of video mem, do you have antialias set to 4x with 1600x1200 per chance, if so tunr antialias off and repost your results.

Great results. I see almost 3x improvement in "ground" view and a nice 20% in regular view. Well done.

Slight improvement for me (results in results thread )

I am 1280 x 1024 so called quincux AA and performance set to good (as opposed to high) in the Nvidia set up.

I tried it online

noticed cloud (thin cirrus) could dissappear behind the cockpit frame when climbing toward it (not level with it)

I latterly dumped whilst in heavy 5" ack with a funny audible zzzzzzzzt in the earphones
