 Cobra you see the new cloud layers fine? No ghuge gray rectangles or any other graphics anomolies?

 I'm asking because I'm under the (self-induced) impression that the new clouds have a major problem with them. See the bug forumn for some posts. Huge gray rectangles, demarcation between day and overcast geography is extreme and I suspect the new cloud grpahics as being the source for invisible ships in the fleets when the clouds are even barely close by - even if out of visible range.

 Flying under the environment there clouds bring is awsome. As long as I don't look at where the ovecast area ends or like using my 5,7,11,or 1 views when in the same grid they are in.

 I'm trying to figure out if I have an obsolete system now and need a new gfx's cards or if I'm not in a minority that has gfx problems around these layers.

 The dark of the nighttime nor the dark under the overcast are not a problem. But I wonder what those guys have for sys specs especially graphics cards.

Westy,
I get the big grey WalMart Wall like everyone else.  So I do get those anamolies.  Although I haven't seen the cloud front around a fleet yet.

I was referring to once you get into the layer a little bit.

Last night, 44 and 37 were both covered deep in the layer.  We launched from 44 to 37.  It was just a blast.

But, I agree, the edges of the front need some work.

Well... I can't see anything in either the night of the Monsoon's from hell (under cloudbanks).

And if I have an "obsolete system" then more than half or more of the AH population will be upgrading or quitting.

Athlon 800mhz
196 meg RAM
GeForce 256

And a decent system with everything else. No its not top of the line, but its quite a bit more than the "minimum system specs" and is certainly not obsolete.

JAB, might wanna check if you're not colourblind, I am and I can't see squat under the clouds.

Cheers!

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down and still somehow  it's lifes illusions I recall, I really don't know cloooooooooouds aaaaaat aaaaaaaaaaaallllll.

--Judy Collins from her album "Von Ribbentrop sings Burt Bacharach"

I like 'em.  They add a new dimension.  I'm sure HT will refine the wall of voodoo to be more realistic.

lol vvermi;llion if you consider that obsolete you funny  


i think with a geforce mx and a p3 500 you can run aces high quite well so you sytem is a bit above that  

ps mine is very similar to yours and i get 6070 fps, and i hate the guys with p2-266s who squeak about fps. get a job and get a new system, hell im a poor college student and i can afford a midrange system  of course i have no kids to support
