My take on game graphics

[Zoney]

Wow...  people think that AH graphics are good???   

I mean I get that there are limitations to what hitech can do, but call a duck a duck.  AH graphics look dated.  That doesn't mean the game isn't fun, nor does it mean better eye candy would make the game more fun.  But tell it how it is.  I would not describe AH graphics in a positive light.

I've turned everything to max.  It's a marginal visual improvement for a huge hit in frames.  I have no idea wth bump mapping my own plane full-updates does except kill the lighting effects and drop me down to 20 frames.  My plane looks better with that box unchecked.  I can see more light reflections that way.  Is this the same for other people?  Do I need to post a screen?  Does anyone enable bump my plane full-updates and see a visual improvement?

Bump mapping the buildings just makes the concrete look brighter, which actually gives an advantage to some folks bombing GVs.  Cockpit shadows are also unchecked, they look all jaggy and pixelated.  They're just not good. 

Bring the clouds back.

pfffffffffft.  P51 pilot

What kind of "game play" updates would you like to see?

Check the wishlist.

Yes Zack, with SLI.  SLI doesn't give AH2 a whole lot of FPS boost I've found with a single monitor.  That said, if you're not dropping over tank town when it is filled with tanks and cons, you don't have everything "maxed out". This has been established in the hardware thread about running everything at max.  Anyone who claims they never drop below 60fps either has a NASA classified  system, or doesn't have everything truly maxed or turned on at 1920 1080p 2048 texture.

Yes I failed to omit that slider for shiny bits is at 60%

Another factor is I learnt a while ago not to have FSP displayed all the time

45,65,250 FSP is not the issue, smooth flowing graphics is the issue.

I think a lot of talk of FSP is a bit of a obsession with a lot of people because they build PC's  themselves

Its like GV'ing, not my cup of tea, but people like building pc's and its a free country

Whats the best software for removing graphics drivers?
