What do you see ingame?
« on: April 15, 2007, 10:32:10 AM »
This is what I see graphic wise. What do you see thats different? I know some are having contrast issues. How does it look to you? Maybe we (the ones without problems) can come up with some common settings to help folks out.

This rig:

P4 3.0
4 Gb PC3200
Nvidea GF 7600GT (256 MG) w/ 91.47 forceware drivers
Viewsonic 22"wide @ 1680x1050
60Hz  refresh rates

Vsync- Off
Digital vibrance- Medium (first notch)
bnrightness-100
contrast 100
Gamma- 1.0
immage settings- High quality
antialiasing- 2x
anistropic filtering-2x

Yields about 80 FPS ingame.

From what I have seen it seems dependent on the particular terrain in place.  At least I have noticed small differences, with ndisles looking probably the best out of the few I have seen.  They are all a little dark, with some more than others but I have made no adjustments to monitor or vid card.

The terrain is 'flat' someone else said it..  it sucks the light.  There is something not quite right with the lighting, and aircraft do look out of place in the current environment (as Fester has pointed out..)

Overall though, its definitely a step forward

Over the areas like that with textures it looks nice, but there are some areas with no (or very little) textures and you have very little depth perception.  You can be looking at a spot where you know there is a hill, but it's just solid green.

This is is going to cause you to have rubber bullets, for benchmarking having VSync off is ok but for normal online AH play it will cause you lots of frustration.

I've never ran with vsync on, and it's never caused any issues.

It does seem dark to me as well. I turned up the gamma and it helps but then the plane skins seem washed out.

I think they need to adjust the contrast a bit.

Take a screenshot from 5k alt.

Show us that 'lovely' patchwork quilt of puke green rectangles, dark green rectangles and almost black green blobs of forest.

Activisions "Pitfall" had better graphics and that was in 1980.

It has, you just don't realize it. One thing that WILL happen with VSync off while flying online in AH is that you will see more hit sprites than AH registers. This has been discused many times here and it's agreed on by the staff at HTC and the many technicaly aware players that it's best to have VSync on during online AH play.

Everything is fine but the brightness.  It's too dark.  I showed the screenshot in the first post to two people (one gamer, the other not), and they both said the luminosity was that of late evening.

I'd post what it looks like on my pc, and link to real pictures of normaly-lit noon landscape for comparison, but my PC is out of service at the moment.

You can say that the terrain's technically great (hedgerows, roads, etc), but how can anyone in their right mind say that the screenshots of the ground aren't too dark when they're supposed to have been taken in the middle of the day??

I think part of the problem might be that some people have their monitor's brightness set so high that they get sunburns from using it.  ;)


I agree with Blooz, too.  When you get up high, the terrain looks like a solid green mass with really dark spots of forest all over it (unless you happen to flying over the few farm tiles).

Aces High 1 and 2.09 might have been a step back technically, but they had way more character and style from up high.  Somehow, I think that Hitech needs to lay down more terrain textures on the tiles to break up the green blob.



edit. "But GuyNoir, what if your monitor's brightness is too low??"  

Well, every other game ever has looked just fine, so either they're all too bright, or the new terrain is too dark.... and not the 2.09 terrain.  :)
