Title: HTC please give separate slider for buildings and planes poly/detail count
Post by: Citabria on January 23, 2004, 05:45:45 PM

I realized when i was flying the b26s that i dont care about seeing trees and other nonstrategic objects in high detail but i want to see buildings, acks planes etc in maximum detail while making the trees and clutter minimum detail.

please make a separate detail slider that allows the buildings and planes and field objects to be shown at max detail while the trees slider can be set to absolute minimum detail.

teres just too many damn trees 40000polygons worth of trees that dont do much to add immersion once your above a few thousand feet.

what does pull most anyone out of the illusion is disapearing buildings.


so again i ask

separate buildings planes and field detail slider
separate tree clutter slider.

when i set sliders to max performance i can get 70fps and still the trees are plentiful but the fields and all else are empty and the aircraft are half rendered.

the shift f3 f2 works pretty good but its an all or nothing function it seems

is there a way to have max performance settings for the clutter at any altitude while keeping high detail on planes and fields etc?
