Sure would hate to live in a world where that was true.

Sad fact: marijuana thickens the cell walls to the short term memory region of your mind-- AFTER long periods of use.

It does NOT slow the mind in anyway, and some people it does not affect their memory in at all.

There is also the case of state-dependant learning, but that's another issue.

I learned the lesson of moderation and occasional use long ago.

LOL!  We are definately going to have to look elsewhere for an subject that proves this inconclusively.  Maybe someone who's mind had room for slowing?   :D

And deezcamp, I heard HTC was just about done with 1.08, but someone got them hooked on x-pilot and they haven't done a single line of coding since.

Perspective:
1.07 5-24-01

1.06 3-08-01

1.05 12-26-00

1.04 09-08-00

Anyone see a trend there? In fact, they might have been a tad early on 1.07.

Be one with the cosmos grasshoppers; even now, it is drawing closer.

Ok, I'll be the cynic...I don't understand what the trains will bring to the game.  But, if we get a few bug fixes like the invincible GVs of late, I'll score the release a success   :)

"I don't understand what the trains will bring to the game."

 More targets to shoot at. Some said the same when the B-17 was added  ;)

 But for me the challenge in shooting bombers down and GV's up is waning. Trains would be a nice diversion  :)

I want to see the DX 8 optimizations.. if any.. and See how they are comming along with that so far !  :D

I wish Aces would GO OpenGl though  :(


OpenGL  is betta than DX .. well at least I think so  ;)

Post by: Skuzzy on August 08, 2001, 02:20:00 PM
OpenGL?  Hmmm,..that would be a big mistake.

Consider this, any opnegl based anything is at the mercy of each video card maker.  At least with DX we all have a common API and can work around known issues with it.
With opengl,..you then have code for nvidia, ati, and so on.  
There is no real good reason to go opengl.  Opengl actually has missing features that DX8 supports.  Yes, the OpenGL fan club is addressing these by adding new extensions to OpenGL, but which video card maker is going to go back and rewrite all thier opengl drivers for the cards that have shipped the last 3 years?

OpenGL is just another graphics API, just like DX is.  At least DX is a common denominator.  With DX you get a pretty consistent API that forces the video card guys to write consistent interfaces for.  You do not get that with OpenGL.

Microsoft is a /trying to a Monopoly.

Every openGl application that I have run, has higher FPS, and quality of detail.

Being a 3D Animator, I also prefer the Higher quality of Opengl in realtime Object creation/Lighting as well. Maya, Lightwave,3DS... all use opengl as a primary rendering system.  Perhaps I am biased because of this  ;)

262 has been whined for so much, that I can understand it.   ;)

Hurricane MkIIc???  Haven't seen many calls for that, but ok, Brits will now have 3 Spits, Tiffie, Tempest and the Hurricane as fighters.  still less than the 9 German (err, 10 with the 262) fighters.

Come on, where are some more Pacific planes???  Please please please tell me there's a Val, Kate, Dauntless or Wildcat hiding out somewhere in 1.08!!!!

mmm, need an earlier Zero variant one day...  a6m2...  painted all white like I'm used to seeing.   ;)
