  12. Performance on Mac is disappointing

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by chris k

    really 2x? supposition/predigest or measured?

     

     

    Measured - My Rig - MacPro 3.46Ghz Hexacore, GTX670 - Boot into Win7 and it's night and day on FPS.

     

    Another comparison done by Ben himself (before I had a bootcamp partition):

    Hello chris k

     

    Only because You cannot get along with the truth, You use insulting language, we just say what fact is and that's not bitching and whining.

    The only thing that would be fair, give an option to download 1.3.3 again for Users running only 2,8 GHz Prozessors

    all others are surely happy with the wonderful 2.0 upgrade.

    By the way, if You are so Generous, You can send me 4000€ to buy me a (

    • 12-Core Prozessor
    • Dual-AMD FirePro GPUs mit bis zu je 6 GB GDDR5 VRAM Mac
    • SMP then will run pretty smooth i think.

     

     

     

    No. I will send you $40.

     

    Send me your paypal.

  22. Seasons?

    in Scenery Development

    I do however feel freeware could be a way to go in the meantime

     

    Tom K has released a Seasons product?

     

    Bit of constructive criticism...

     

    Your "Seasons" product doesn't work at all. I mean, it's a good idea and all, but your software either deletes airplanes by mistake, causes loss of FPS or crashes X-Plane.  You also didn't address the Multiplayer Fog. Any time you enable multiplayer fog your Seasons product also crashes. 

     
    It also has no POLs or tesselation. You said your seasons product needed tessellation, but you don't have the correct NORMALS showing up on the vertexes.  It also causes wingspans to be smaller. You said your product would increase wingspan. Your Seasons product don't.
     

    I really think people shouldn't be buying your product. 

  25. SkyMaxx Pro 2.0 Has Been Released!

    Very cool. We should probably add a "reset" button to the configuration screen in a future update. It's too easy to end up making unwanted tradeoffs between quality and performance in there, and forget how to get back to where you started from.

     

    Hi Guys,

     

    Actually - I was just thinking this exact same thing as I was fooling around with SMPv2 yesterday.

     

    The ability to [reset to factory defaults] would be appreciated, this way I don't have to remember whack knobs Ive turned, and where to put them 'back' once I've fiddled with them.

     

    +1 on this idea. Thats is all.

     

    - CK.
