So many time awaiting for 1.03...and now it comes it means that I wont be able to fly anymroe  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

To say that I am sad is to say few. I am done in AH because is damned too good  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).

WTG HTC...but that kind of detail will burn out my "computer" (in fact it is an analogical calculator).  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

RAM, aren't you jumping to a premature conclusion?

HOpe it so, but I asked it in the other thread and people told me that I may really need to change computer.

Anyway, with current FR of 15...well you know even a low in 3-4 FR isnt acceptable.

Of course I'll give it a chance,as I readed not too long ago that HT was trying to make FR be as high as possible...

Just praying,Westy...I am just praying...

RAM, it's possible to fly even with a framerate of 7-9, it's true, I NOW  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).

In best moments i reach 11

"...current FR of 15"

 Didn't know it was that low.     (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
 I'm guessing there won't be much of a hit if any. When you look at the picture there isn;t alot new (readily apparant to a user eye anyway). It's just how phenominally better it all looks suddenly. We already have the sun. Now it has different colurs it can be displayed in. We already have the clouds, they just look even better! And there is an additional horizon shading that your FE can switch to it looks like.
 Sounds bare and simple but the look is simply amazing to me. I'm STILL stunned when I look at that picture.  The Chefs at restaraunt HTC havecooked up one helluva dish for us to use  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Don't get all worried yet Ram, we're not out gobbling up framerate with this stuff.  We haven't done any testing yet, but I really doubt framerate will change much in this next version.

Westy, if you want the full color bmp instead of the 256 color gif, here's the link.   http://www.hitechcreations.com/pyro/yaksset.bmp (http://www.hitechcreations.com/pyro/yaksset.bmp)
It's about 3 MB, so it's a pretty large file.

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh *drool* - awesome!! Bring it on, bring it on!!!

Westy... I use the webshot wallpaper proggi... stretches picture to fit any desktop size and adds transparent calendar in any flavour (if you load it startup it even highlights current date!!) - think you find it at www.webshot.com (http://www.webshot.com)

Pyro, why do you always introduce shots to public with gif?

I can compress this shot and better quality (it's full color).        (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Actually Mitsu, I show the gif picture to be a lot better quality than the jpg, whatever color-depth they are in.

I just got myself a new background pic  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ram, I doubt you will get a big FR hit. From my flying in EAW that also have very nice sunset views I get close to no difference.
