Thanks

My 2-cents...

Same basic setup as Fastcargo's (Vista32, SF2x, cept a 3.0ghz proc) and the FPS has doubled. Cool.

Oh, here's something I've done with the noise texture. Haven't dug into the archieves far so this may have already been done/mentioned....

Increases the frequency of the noise texture.

in <Theatre>_DATA.INI

-----------------------------------------

[NoiseTexture]

Size=256

MinColor=229

MaxColor=255

// oem:Frequency=1.7

Frequency=4.0

// oem: ResolutionFactor=4.0

ResolutionFactor=16.0

// oem: 200

StartFadeDistance=500.0

// oem:500

EndFadeDistance=1500.0

------------------------------------------

Gives, to me, more of a sense of speed at low altitude. On my rig no slow down noticed (shouldn't be on a good V.card). The "oem..." above means the original values btw. You may have to play with the filtering and mip-mapping in the v.card setup. Also, haven't had time to play with the values much (working on a Campaign viewer/editor) but the "ResolutionFactor" seems to be the biggy.

No pix but a still shot doesn't do much for ya - need to be moving...
