After all the patches,what have ya got?
« on: August 13, 2009, 08:01:11 PM »
It seems to me that the eye candy thing has run it's full course,and we are back to about where we started.The graphics look about the same to me,and that is after they had to do a lot of fixes to get it where the lower end puter owners could hang in there.With the nice looking water,terrain,etc. came the stutters,but not all seemed to be adversely affected.Strangely enough,my puter seems to run the game the same no matter what,and it's no killer rig...AMD 6000,4 gigs ram,Nvidia 8800GT,not clocked.I get some freezes..stutters,but not enough to be concerned about.I've ran the game at 512 and 1024 and I don't see any difference.Heck I didn't mind Air Warrior graphics.I'm just glad to see that this last patch seems to help a lot of folks.

Unless you install the Hi-Res patch you won't see the difference

The moving ripples on the water, the reflections off the water and the sun's reflections off individual ripples were'nt there in the last version or was the appearance of water depth near shore.  I was marveling at this today on a PT mission.

Earlier in the day I had the pleasure of GVing in Orange on the big island map.  I was GVing near the two GV bases on that SE island with the tall mountains seperating them from the airfields.  From the vehicle spawn there was a long rolling hillside juxtaposed against what looked like snow covered, or at least frost covered mountains.  Absolutely beutiful.  I flew by these mountains later and was very pleased with their look.

The trees are all different.  Now rather than a choice of evergreen or deciduous there are 5-6 or more different types in different colors.  The trunks actually look like tree trunks now and the ground shrubbery is greatly improved.

I think you are totally wrong in your assesment.  This is a massive improvement.

I really wasn't meaning to badmouth the new graphics.I think the AH gang really done a good job.I just don't care as much about the graphics as perhaps the next guy would.I run the Hi Res version,and I get 60 fps most all the time.I use the default graphic settings,and the game is great by me.The stutter whilst panning has never completely gone away,and in all honesty I've never been able to figure it out.I really wish that everyone could play w/o problems,as it's frustrating to see a lot of the vets having a hard time getting the game to run well.The AH II update also had very similar problems,and they got it right after a few patches.
