Jets in the same theatre

[getpeter 0]

Hi folks

I have fun with FE1 for years now, every weekends for an hour or two. The flanders terrain is specially beautiful. Then I thought putting in a jet fighter against a propeller would be even more fun. So I did, an F-86 was added to the Aircraft folder.

Stunned with the frame rates. It flies really fast, much faster than in the Wings of Europe theatre. What are the reasons for the difference in the speediness? Just curious to know.

The default FE terrain comprises a smaller "world", so there's less load on the CPU. However, SF2 is even faster, as it will utilize every core of a multicore CPU.

I've got something like 100FPS! I feel like playing LOCKON actually :-)

Is SF2 available on retail stores?

I am extremely happy!!

 

Dug out the FlightEngine.INI file and made some changes. From WOI

 

[FarSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=20000.0
NearClipDistance=1000.0

[NormalSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=15000.0
NearClipDistance=149.9

[NearSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=150.0
NearClipDistance=0.4

[LowDetailOption]
HorizonDistance=6000.0
DetailMeshSize=4
DetailLevel=0
WaterEffect=0
NoiseTexture=0
MaxTextureRes=128

[MedDetailOption]
HorizonDistance=7000.0
DetailMeshSize=6
DetailLevel=0
WaterEffect=1
NoiseTexture=0
MaxTextureRes=256

[HighDetailOption]
HorizonDistance=7500.0
DetailMeshSize=8
DetailLevel=0
WaterEffect=2
NoiseTexture=1
MaxTextureRes=512

[unlimitedDetailOption]
HorizonDistance=8000.0
DetailMeshSize=10
DetailLevel=1
WaterEffect=2
NoiseTexture=1
MaxTextureRes=0  <----- previously -1

 

[WorldSettings]
SectorWidth=20
SectorHeight=20
SectorMaxObject=256
Border=25000.0
MinHeight=0.5
MaxHeight=25000.0

[MapSettings]
MapMaxSize=200000
MapMinSize=5000
MapInitSize=10000
MapScaleRate=5.0
ZoomControl=CAMERA_ZOOM_CONTROL

 

I suppose Border in World Settings represents the world size.

 

And please please tell me how do I migrate the beautiful Flander terrain to WoI, I really love the green of the terrain, and I only play MiG-15/17 and F-86 so i dont need those SAMs and modern air field.

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi

 

You mentioned that the size of the FE theatre is smaller. Can you possibly tell me how to reduce the size of the Israel theatre for instance, is that something to do with the flightengine.ini file?

 

Thanks

Best regards

Peter

No, it has to do with the physical terrain itself, which virtually comprises a world of its own.
