Title: Disable Smoke
Post by: cav58d on April 11, 2007, 09:52:40 PM

Would it be possible to disable smoke (burning hangars, bunkers etc...) in the graphic detail?  More and more it sounds like people are taking FR hits, especially when flying over a porked field, and this would definately help

It may benefit those that choose to turn it off though.

There have been times when I have rolled in on a field to hit a GV and not been able to see it through the smoke...

Kind of a double edged sword.

No offense...

Any video card manufactured in the current century can handle it... Have you considered an upgrade?

Ok, I have bloated the truth a bit... But honestly, my Geforce 6800 Drew everything beautifully and it was 2 years old...  I was able to crank 50fps or better no matter what... that card today is under $100.

every minor detail adds to the fun for me I like using smoke to help me make it off of a capped field. I will actively try to manuver it between me and an approching vuture in an attempt keep him from lineing up on me. Does it work??? Probably not, but it makes me feel better, until his buddy gets me from the other direction.

Note to self.
Quit upping at capped fields!!!

I have to say not everyone can afford a $100 card.

I can't, and can barely pay for AH but I do. my GF Ti4800 does everything I need it too, except decent frame rates at a porked or GV laden field.

disabling smoke would be a great thing for us that can't afford new gear.

I am not sure it is the smoke.  FWIW it is the large pillars of shimmering fire moreso than the black puffy stuff.

So, turning off fires would be nice, but to Bohdi's point, the smoke should remain to keep the playing field level.
