Post by: Jerlle on March 12, 2008, 12:50:27 PM: Yeah, cause then all the newbs who try to fly up the tail pipe up a large buff will most likely get their plane flipped upside down from the large down flow of air created by counter rotating vortices.

might as well never have it then unless you only want it there for looks.

IMHO

Title: Re: Wingtip Vortices
Post by: Strip on March 12, 2008, 04:50:22 PM: I assume motherland your intent is to show that you can disable certain effects and I agree.

My point is if half the users will disable the effects wouldnt it be time better spent else where. Maybe something that the whole community will enjoy?

Post by: Murdr on March 12, 2008, 04:57:20 PM: Graphically, why would it be much more of a load than tracer trails or damage smoke?

Post by: Strip on March 12, 2008, 05:03:41 PM: Dang Mudr.....just come bunch holes in my theory why dont you! :D

It would be rather easy to code when it came on to. Certain airspeed, altitude, and AoA.

I stand on my point if you include the wake turbulence effects tho.

Well, I've talked to every hole I know. Most are truly concerned with the hole community rather than themselves as individual holes, but they would much rather see properly turbulent air than merely condensation effects. A couple good, solid, microbursts and flipping fighters in wake turbulence.

Post by: Denholm on March 12, 2008, 06:49:09 PM: Snowey, as Strip already mentioned, its a photoshopped image to demonstrate a suggestion of a "disable" button for the "high-res" effects.

The picture was an example, not a real screenshot. There is no option because the effect does not exist in Aces High.
