I think I would be cool to have plane wrecks and destroyed vehicles and stuff added to the scenery, something to look at while your in GVs and Chutes. I cant imagine that it would cause any lag or take to much editing, they wouldnt move they would just be there. So you could drive across the country and see a nice B17 with pieces missing and scattered for a hundred yards and a trench when it crash landed, or a 109 with bullet holes and stuff. And on one of the maps there is an island a few sectors out, is there anything on those islands. and if not can we put something there like a city or grunt battles.

can you say framerate whines? ;)

It would be cool eye candy; it may hurt frame rates ( doubt it would hurt mine ). I would like to know from HTC if it would hurt the FPS that much or not...would it be more than the trees & bushes? Or the grass that's so tall a tank can't see over it? Or the huge ammount of barns ( are all the civilians in AH sheep herding barn builders? ) Or the little gray houses that you can't hide in or use as cover to fire from? ( I don't know about anyone else, but I can't shoot through the openings in the houses, my rounds blow up. I think the windows are too high or something - I don't know )

That's the new and improved armored glass. According to Glasses the mustangs have been using it in AH for years.

:rofl ....heck it could be....I never thought of that

It wouldn't change frame rates at all if you just replaced one of the 50 million barns we have with a plane every so often. I kinda like this idea.
Is that a real Tiger over there or is it Memorex?????

i like it :aok

I made a wish for vehicle wrecks not too long ago, and only got two replies from people who said their frame rates would suck because of it. . .
What is this, blatant sexism??? :huh You bunch of whipped . . . I'm calling in the ACLU!!:mad:
On second thought . . . . Nnnno I won't.

I dont see how that has much to do with wreckage in the maps. Straying a little off topic.
Also No offence, and correct me if im wrong but is it that you think im getting more replies because my forum name is GlacierGirl. I am not a girl, the reason I have this forum name is because its the name of one of my all time favorite planes. Glacier Girl is a P38F that was brought up from 260 something feet of ice and restored to flying condition.

O MAN YOUR NOT A GIRL O JEBUS:lol OMG WHERE ARE THE FLAMERS WHERE ARE THEY!
Well actually considering how many people die (or me getting cut off by a tree:rofl ) It would really hurt framerates to have to model every little piece then the fire from it man would kill in a furball. Can you imagine driving a T-34 over a junk pile of Spits an LA's would be fun but doubt some of these guyses Windows 1802's programs could handle it.

The number of wrecks would have nothing to do with the number of people getting shot down, Simply remove 50 or 60 barns in each sector and add like 3 or 4 downed planes. also just because there is a crash doesnt mean it will burn. So fire can be optional depending on HTs preferance.(http://www.merkki.com/images/blaneycrash5.jpg)

I like it. Don't see how it would hurt your frame rate. Its the same as a barn exept its a plane. (Doesn't move and a great place for gvs to hide next to)
-
If there are going to be frame rate issues can't viewing these 'war furniture' items be made optional? i.e. if the option is switched off locally you just see a hill, or something a lot simpler.
-
Love the idea...Requested it myself a while back....unfortunately ideas like this never get responces and we will never see it leave the wishlist =(

I'm for it Glacier.

GlacierGirl: Wrecks is not an easy thing to do. When a plane crashes, and you exit, it stays there for 10 minutes. Same goes for vehicles too. That's a lot of objects the server has to track and then put onto the map to all players.
I do think that having wreck map objects is a lot more feasable and easier to do than putting in code that downed aircraft remain on the map. Pooface is right, you take 30-40 planes that crash during an airfield battle, it's a lot of objects to track.
I would also like to see wrecks as objects to be used in the editor, especially SHIPWRECKS along the coast, or burnt out tanks and vehicles.
GG: if we take your idea of having wrecks, and put it as a map object, then yes, it's a brilliant idea. :)

He is refering to making the "wrecks" ground objects...not piling up individual players crashed remains. He just wants an occasional destroyed tank or crashed plane instead of millions of barns & little gray houses.
-
Let me rephrase my last then.
GG: GREAT IDEA![/size] :D
-
yeah i didnt mean there would be a wreck for every plane shot down, there would be more planes than grass, and with me flying, there would be millions of the planes ive flown on the ground, i rarely live for more than 5 minutes. The wrecks would just be like a barn, part of the map added by who ever makes the map, so it would have absolutely no effect on framerates as far as I know, but i dont know much about computers. Im glad so many of you support the idea. How does an idea make it off of the forums and into the game? do we need a signed paper or something saying that a certain percentage of the people who fly the game want it added?
-
I like it, remove 1/2 of the 4 million red barns and turn them into downed bombers, planes, tanks, 1/2 tracks and artillery pieces.
My 2 cents

You can eliminate the Framerate complaints by making it only draw if you're in a GV.. If you are in flight, you simply don't see them regardless.
-
Just as long as they are there, they could have the visability range of the barns. Because I know if I get on and its really boring that day Id wanna fly 100 feet off the ground untill I found a crash and bail out so I can look at it. I think the barns dissapear at a certain altitude dont they? So they could only be visable at something like 2000 feet and less maybe even 1000.

Lot more poly's in a plane than a barn.
