New terrain dictates i need a Video Card.  A Good one. Before 110.   when i went to the Light colored terrains in the CT My Frame Rate was very LOW. About 10 to 17 fps.   110's New desert terrain is giving me a whoping 3 to 12 ROFL.  Well not really laughing. :(............New Video card or cancle HTC membership??  Well cancelation is free and new card is $100 for a good one.  And funds say no new card. :(...So i will prolly stick around for a short bit just to get a good look at 110. Then i will have to cancle my membership for a while till i can afford a Real Good Vid Card.  Nice work HTC  looks like a lota nice stuff yous got going.

I'm having a little trouble trying to understand what the hue of the terrain has to do with you frame rate.   Can you explain a little more?

Probably more the level of detail than the RGB values of the pixels, eh?

Have you tried bringing back the clipping plane some?  It will reduce the eye-candy appeal of the new terrians ( AKs for a magnificent job on that) but may bring your frame rate back up.

Unless, of course, this is an excuse to do something you were thinking of doing anyway, in which case best of luck and hope to see you again some time.

Find a resale shop and sell some old junk.  Have a garage sale.  You should be able to raise $100.  It'd be a shame to leave this sim because of hardware limitations.

Good luck.

I am seeing roughly the same frames as before - but it is hard to tell with the warping right now.    Hope guys finish downloading soon

You can get a decent  geforce2 mx400 for less than 50 bucks. geforce2 mx400 (not geforce4 mx400 they are not so good)

ouch - the 300 mhz of course is the bottleneck, plus its a celeron.  A geforce mx400 64 meg of vid ram is way plenty of card for that machine (overkill actually).  Then load up those detonator drivers, will be playable for you then.

I suggest http://www.newegg.com for price, service, and delivery speed.
