Title: Tiny Towers??
Post by: Latrobe on November 25, 2009, 09:33:41 PM

Since when have towers been this small?? Did I miss something or have they always been this size?

It just looks so small to me. Maybe I just haven't noticed!  :noid

I guess if you compare it to the barracks huts on the left the tower is about the right size.

My frame rate gets crappy when near fires also.

Those fuel trucks seem larger than the tower, we had a 3,000 gallon jet fuel truck that dwarfed a tiny office, but I wouldn't think it should dwarf the tower. Hope the pilot lounge isn't in there as well...

My FR's were horrible because I had vehicle shadow turned on. I found out that my video card can just barley handle it but I get 20 FR's. Looks really nice though!  :cry

Ya, Field towers have the extra buildings on the left and right, but still for a v-base tower this looks kinda small too me. Has it always been that small??

No it has not always been that small.  In one of the last patches there was a note about Towers being reduced to more proportional dimensions.

It was done to meet the regulations in the ADA.  We have a few of the smaller sort in the crew ranks and they all seem to be operators in the towers.
