Hi everyone, With the last great update I fixed some issues:
-Ron Jenson cleaned the the cl_cumulus.png so there are no artefacts visible -I added a 20% alpha layer made of the a sw-conversion and important: I managed to made all clouds except cirrus to get 3d with usuable fps. I have to admit that not all cloudstextures are that nice but it is pretty difficult to get altostratus images at this time of year for me.... I will go one with that all next year after the release. On the ground I have between 5-20% less fps compared with 2d, in the air about 0-5% less fps compared with 2d and in heavy clouds (thunderstorm) about 10-25% less compared with 2d! I coulden't fix the transparency issue that's why we should still thinking of disable ns- and st-clouds as 3d- but try yourself please! What would give better perfomance is to couple the clouds-visibility to the visibility given by metar- it would save a whole lot of fps! Here is video made with the fps-heavy 787 from the forum in thunderstom: http://www.vimeo.com/2511328 If you don't have enabled Flash then you can download it here: http://www.vimeo.com/download/video:86671482?e=1229212030&h=335d3780cd3ecd37a8dfb5f0fe2403b3&uh=36da6ad45ab729cc249c2682d5a445f8 About 56.42Mb Download of the cloudsset: www.hoerbird.net/cloudset.zip Big Thanks to Stuart, Tim and Yon- this is great stuff though there still little glitches! :-) Cheers HHS still in work: http://www.hoerbird.net/galerie.html But already done: http://www.hoerbird.net/reisen.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
