The update is great but 1 thing
« on: April 11, 2007, 08:36:11 PM »
I like just about everything in the new upgrade sofar but one thing. I dunno if maybe it's something in my settings or what, but when in a plane it's really hard to get a sense of "depth" to the ground.

It's fairly hard to get a feel or tell where the hills are specially when flying on the deck.





Also one side note and to think about, with the new  ground layout it's going to be very hard to try and get m3's to a town now. (harder than it was already)

There is no where to hide them and no plce to get cover if a plane spots you.

I agree.  I hate to say this when everyone's worked so hard, but I actually prefer it the way it was by far.  The shorelines are the only thing that is visually better now; everything else is worse.

Patch 0 is all that you need to hear. For the AH gods have heard you and shall wave their fingers to make mountain shading and better sun-sets. Better get those shades.:cool:

Yea I'm not really complaining about it, mainly just pointing it out to make sure it wasn't a bad setting on my end.  Overall I like the new update, it's  just with my LCD monitor the groud starts to bug my eyes after a short time in the air. Which didn't happen to me with the old textures.

As much as I hate to say it, I think I liked the trees from the old terrain better...  They didn't look the best, but they made the ground more interesting to fly over (and it was fun to shake guys on your six by weaving in and out of em).  I think way too many trees got taken out this go-round.    It's so barren now that it's almost like flying over Aces High 1 terrain...

I definitely like that a beach got added, though.  :aok

The terrain color/shades are SOOOO DARK!!!

It makes my eye HURT to fly now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flew for maybe 20 minutes.

Got a headache!  Gamma was at 1.4 before patch, now it's at 1.5 but doesn't seem to help much.

May have to quite AH to avoid eye strain/headaches :(

The evening time last what? 30 min at the most? take a break during that time talk to the wife and kids grab a bear and watch tool time or something the new terrain is fine, few glitches but those will be fixed in the upcoming patches. I'm so tiered of the whining HTC finally puts out a new patch that looks great and not even a hour into it people are crying and complaining about this that etc.  Yes, with a new version there will be glitches report them *don't cry* and they will most likely be fixed in the next patch update*probly in a day or two*

OK i feel better now :D

P.S. HTC new stuff looks great.

The sun was at noon!

Had gamma to 1.5, flew for 20 minutes and got a headache.

That didn't happen before the patch.

IT'S TOO DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So at least I'm not the only one that it's bugging like that.  It irritates my eyes if I fly too much with the new ground textures. It's not as bad on the ground in a gv, but still get a little of it then.

Anyone know if there is anyway to go back to the old ground textures?


Husky01 grow up this is a legit complaint so chill out.

How are the good people at HTC to know what to fix
unles we tell them?  You confuse constructive criticism
with whining.

Rare moment:  I like this patch, the airbase runway looks great and I dont seem to be taking a hit on the trees

However, near bases and towns, Im hitting some stutters.  Gonna try some tweaking on my side

You might try to defrag your HD first. After rebuild of the cache, I was experiencing a lot of stutters. I did check my drive and noted >1000 new fragmented files ;)

After running a defrag program, almost all stutters were gone.

Can't say I like the old trees, but the terrain did somewhat look better. But I would rather keep it the way it is for the fact even though its darker, it's a lot more clear, and my frame rates are a lot better since all of the old trees arent here to suck the frames.

WTG HTC, this one was definitely for the better! :aok
