WIP - Guam Theatre

X-mas is coming

There has been some general discussion on Objective Density\Feature Count that we can shove into Falcon.Though I know for a FACT we cannot exceed ~5000 Objective’s (due to Feature’s on the Objective) in a 64 Segment Theater,there is a work around.
Now, I am doing this in GUAM, for a different reason. That being that the individual PR Tile’s suck ALOT!!! of FPS (Basically no repeated\load once tile’s). It’s just the way Falcon build’s,then send’s the list to the GFX engine\card.(Has to go via CPU I believe)Guess I should explain the difference……Some will counter that we have over 1 million or whatever Seatile’s in Korea Theater and the FPS is fine with that.That is because she only load’s that Tile ONCE into MEM and render’s all from that single tile…get it???
Lot simpler math for her to do then rendering 1100+ individual Tile’s every millisecondNow back to a work around…whilst building the Custom Airbase’s for Guam I ran into a FPS problem with the FEATURE’S on the OBJECTIVE…sucked alot of Frame’s.
So this is what I am doing to remedy the problem for you guy’s with lesser rig’s so we can enjoy a PR Terrain.I’ll explain in picture’s so that our non-native English speaking PEEP’s get a better idea. No offense M8’s!!!
OK, Pic #1 is from ~1500 ft. and 1 km out.
The runway to the left (a feature) is being “Rendered” in 3D,the one to the right is being “Rendered” off the 2D tile.As you can see from the FPS Counter, I have already “Bought” a 50% increase by removing the runway “feature” on the right
Pic#2 As we move away,at this point (~10000ft ~10Km’s away) we still see the left runway trying to be rendered as if we were 1000 ft away???, but the right runway is starting to fade using DXT5 and Fading Mip’s.
Pic#3 Now we are still ~10000ft altitude BUT ~15km’s away and they have both “Faded” into what I believe the human eye see’s.
But the FPS remain’s constant (~60)…good thing!!!Anyhoooo…that’s how it goe’s with the “Beatch”…LOL
demer(BTW The Limestone Cliff’s in the first pic are an illusion\eye trick brought to you by Polak, Thank’s M8 )
How exactly did u “Bought” 50% increase? I can’t see the reasoning and the equation here?
If that tile underneeth the runway was a simpler colouring without the runway and less detailed maybe the fps where better?
Did u do that test thus to cover the test from all aspects?About Objectives and Features…
Have u cleared the database? what I mean: u used the Korea one or u redone it from scratch? -
There now for a minute
-
just saw it… lol
Was working on 2 km city blocks… I managed to put them in the right order…
I also managed to copy an Objective as here:https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?10828-How-to-add-NEW-AIRBASES-Finding-the-way…
Must find how to park the objective only where I want…
If this is done then we are off to go… Only thing missing are the destruction models…

Use Monster’s tool to “RELOCATE” your “Objective” around the tile’s…;)

well without 3ds there are no objects… So in any case 3ds is needed if we go on the how many tools to create the objects then for me they are 11 including 3ds… 6 of which are plugins thus tools in a tool not a new program. hmm 11+3=14
wow I need 12 more monitors… I have 3 and plus one for looking at Falcon… LOL
I imagine how hard is the same for ppl with only one… -

Thank’s Guy’s!!!The Falcon Online\Team Archer Team Speak guy’s for putting up with my sometime’s lengthy rant’s about how it’s done in Falcon and for taking the time to learn,apply and produce two of the most Stable\Playable MP scenario’s in the Falcon world.
Thank’s Guy’s!!! for tolerating me.And I don’t mean that in a condescending way…LOL!!!Jam,Boxer,Naldo,CobraCab,Renner,The Vermin and the rest of you BMS boyz’ for giving us a stable .exe to try and mess up…(you know I’ve tried)…LOL!!!
Thank’s M8’sThe BMS community for their constant curiosity and encouragement, believe me I’m not doing this for myself…Thank you for keeping me going toward the goal.
Finally…Thank you to my ALPHA tester’s…who could screw up a wet dream…:rofl:
Vags,FalconTower,A.S and a few others…salute!!!tired demer

Merry Xmas and have fun dodging those SAM’s……LOL!!! -
summ summ …happy x-mas release !! ?? !!

I like the Approach being taken with Anderson Airforce Base. I’m tired of all the Airports looking the same with the exception of Kunsan and Kimpo. The base seems massive and with that it should be able to house multiple squadrons without delaying traffic. Scenery and the water looks great.

Thank you very much my good friend Dave for your Christmas gift :p!
Downloading and going to test it…
Also may i start to create the NavAids with data from real life?
I’m in “ready 5” so just give me the “green” mate.
See you.
