Not at all!

Thanks man, on behalf of everybody involved! Means a lot coming from a modeling guru!

You just aren't getting it Ed, its clearly old and lacks optimization. I think TK used the River Raid engine from the 2600...

Since you are convinced that the code is problematic, I suggest that you talk to TK about it on his forum. We are about playing the game here, not making assumptions about how it is coded. I'm sure TK would love hear your opinions on how to fix the code: http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/

I'm not sure how much we would gain from it anyway. Most video drivers are already multi-threaded, and I think that means that the graphics process can already be run on a separate core from the game itself. Correct me if I am wrong on that...

The point is that you don't need much more than 24 fps to enjoy a flight simulator. TK is a expert programmer and I think that you underestimate the degree to which his code is optimized--you can run the SF series on a very wide range of hardware (far wider than you can a game such as Crysis) with performance that is more than adequate to enjoy the game. The flight model calculations are far more advanced than anything a shooter is doing with physics, and you can see this if you turn on some of the debug displays.

Dare I suggest the knowledge base?

Doesn't matter. CRY$YS Si TEH l337!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

LOL, OK, sounds like we sould be moving to Crysis for accurate flight dynamics.

Really? I didn't know Crysis calculated accurate, real-time physics for all objects moving in the game world.

The way you describe it, it sounds like you have the most recent patch for WOE installed? NF is not compatable with that patch. I think you need the last patch from '06--sorry can't remember the exact date of the patch. NF3 will bring compatability with the current patch.

I got a bottle of Moet that I will share with my folks at midnight. Not going to go out at all, but I can't wait to drink a glass and give a hearty 'F-You' to 2008 which has been a year to be forgotten!

Word!

Extremely nice!

Assimilation (not to be confused with ass-immolation, which is bad)

Is that...no...is that pornography printed in magazines??? That is sooo old skool.

Damn, a pure-blood carpetbagger! Get him boys!

Yeah, to hell with them.

Thanks you.

As soon as I stop being lazy...hopefully soon!

Hey remember those tests they used to give where the first instruction was "Read the entire test before starting" and the last instruction was "Disregard all the previous instructions, sign your name and turn in the paper." Then in between there were all these crazy things like "stand up and dance," etc... LOL

Sort of...
