Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-20- 07:26 AM Sdoe is a Canvas With which you can Paint beautiful pictures. Take a look at these suckers. Thats 81 B17g's escorted by 27 Jugs Just for the record this isn't possible online. We had a FPS of a whiz bang 3!!! and at times -2500 And it crashes a couple minutes after start. Just enough time to get some cool pics. LOL Sure looks nice though. Other pics we are thinking of doing are. B17s dropping load. All 81 of them!!! Getting around 3 squads of Bf109gs to attack said bombers. Jugs attacking Said BF109s. Flak booming away. All at the same time of course. Now thats a CPU work out. I anticipate 1fps. All in those beauty puffy clouds. [This message has been edited by Spanky the Mad Dog (edited 03-20-2000).] IP: Logged

Whirlwind Pilot	posted 03-20- 08:04 AM What patch are you running? Did you start them all in the air? IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-20- 08:10 AM Spanky here... We will do some B&W with age too. Whirl thats just running 1.5 patch. no beta patch. reg 5.3a plane pack and the jug. Yes air start. IP: Logged
Sv Pilot	posted 03-20- 08:36 AM You are nuts! That is awesome... I wonder how many FPS I can get with that on my Athlon 600 @ 800... I need more memory as well ------------------ -Sv =FC= WWI in SDOE! IP: Logged
LLv34_Camouflage Pilot	posted 03-20- 08:50 AM Holy Crap! That looks absolutely gorgeous!! I can't wait till we all have P5-2GHz's so we can play such missions for real. Try positioning a Geschwader of 190 A-8's on headon course with the buffs! The attack will probably look pretty sweet! There will be more than a few collisions I suppose Kickass!

LLv34_Camouflage Pilot	posted 03-20- 08:52 AM Ummm yea, I think I could try this too Coppermine Celeron 638... 192MB memory... Should work? IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-20- 09:32 AM Spanky here.. I'm thinking this mission will bring any computer to its knees. No matter the speed. Its just so much to compute. The FPS doesn't change wether i'm looking at or away from the planes. Its all CPU And its alot of cpu. If any one. Even a P3 1ghz overclocked with a geforce and 512 ram. I dont' think it would be playable. I could be wrong though. IP: Logged
spin Pilot	posted 03-20- 11:55 AM Spanky, Adjust your simRate to 5 to improve your fps and you will run closer to realtime. I have found with high numbers of planes the FPS seems to be a bit higher if you do this. Your CPU will spend less time calculating and more time updating the screen. Love the shots. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-20- 12:06 PM Spanky here.... Thanks for the tip. Even if it just makes pic taking easier. Whats the down side? Less acurate physics? IP: Logged

Tailslide Pilot	posted 03-20- 01:29 PM Someday we'll have this at 60fps... a peek at our flight sim future! Wonderful pics Spanky! TS IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 03-20- 03:33 PM With that many bombers, there might just be a chance of hitting the target despite a few of those flak guns set up- I'd say the odds are even...that is if you don't mind aiming in a slide show IP: Logged
Hedgehog Pilot	posted 03-20- 03:40 PM Was just about to say what TS said. It is great just to see that this was possible at all. If you dumb everything down like was done in EAW (Hi Scharmers), you can get big situations like this to work, but the ACM suffers. (disclaimer: I own EAW and used to fly it a lot). No doubt with sharper computers and programming, this could be done. Hopefully, the companies putting out these products will continue to do so. =Hedgehog IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 03-20- 03:46 PM I know beta5 build 65 fixes that nasty problem with only the leader dropping, and it fixes the rocket problem. I haven't tested the rocket/bomb problem, but it probably is. I wonder if there is a plan with the PP people to half the flak shell damage? IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 03-20- 07:46 PM JFC!!!! And we thought the Germans were in trouble with the advent of the P-47! I'd hate to see that armada coming my way. Dang, that is awesome. This is why SDOE is gonna be on my hard-drive forever! ...cause one day I'll be able to fire it up, run at 1024x768 or higher, sliders all the way up, a scenario like this and be getting over 60 FPS the whole time Of course by that time the computers are going to take over the world... hehe. Skynet! -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-21- 08:32 AM Spanky here.. Yeah its a great set of pics. I really pray for a day an SDOE sim can do this. I just hope that we DON'T all have to be running crazy fast and EXPENSIVE computers. I hope that SDOP has some major optomizations to let us fly with at least 32 players online. The better computers everyone would be running plus more and better programming by Inertia should be able to pull that off. IP: Logged
v355_Stardog Cadet	posted 03-21- 09:39 AM Nice pics, but I think this thread sums up what happened to this sim maybe. Do you all fly these pretty new planes or just look at them Nice pictures though IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-21- 09:48 AM Spanky here.. Stardog, What do you mean? Its great as a game, It just happens to have alot of detail in the planes and alot of CPU work going on the back ground so adding alot of planes slows it down. Doesn't mean its not a good game. IP: Logged
Raider Pilot	posted 03-21- 09:58 AM Stardog, Welcome back. Do you have Plane Pack 5.3a, Have you flown online lately? Bet you would get your butt shot down. BTW as for needing a gazillon planes in the air at the same time. How many do you shoot down at one time. How many planes can you shoot down with one ammo load? Don't get me wrong. I love the big arena. Spent a lot of time there. I love to see tons of planes in the air but those games just don't have the Feel of Flight that I get for SDOE. I for one would rather fly against a few good planes (Look and Feel)than a ton of planes that feel like they are on rails. That is why I am into SDOE. Raider 33rd~GS IP: Logged
goth Pilot	posted 03-21- 12:17 PM I can't wait to make a similar set of pictures. I hadn't thought of pushing the engine with that many planes. Stardog... Yup, we fly all of these planes. And I tend to wreck most of them too. Sometimes I get to shoot one down. You should load the sim back on your hard drive, download the patch and the plane pack, and give it a second look. A long hard look. Then, before you give up (if you do), download the dynamic mission created by jeeves ( I hope I got that right) and play a campaign. SDOE is bigger and better than it ever was, and I don't see things slowing down at all. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 03-21- 02:46 PM The Dynamic Mission Creator is not my creation...I just fiddle around with the good ole' Mission Editor. I forget who's it is- but I can't take credit for it- despite how great it is. My work is the Africa Campaign, and two Dover campaigns- available at Zoy's site and at Werner's site...Look for a WWI campaign or two from me when the WWI PlanePack comes out...then I gotta get to editing the olc campaigns and put all these new planes in...then I gotta finish Dover Part 3...then do Stalingrad, a Rhineland campaign... and whatever else people suggest to me. When the hell am I gonna fly?!!!!! [This message has been edited by Jeeves (edited 03-21-2000).] IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 03-21- 05:01 PM Jeeves, that's why we pay you the big bucks! IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 03-21- 05:36 PM How did you get all those planes in formation? the max number of planes is 9. ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar The FS Hangar IP: Logged
Mighty Pilot	posted 03-21- 06:11 PM Jag, you can edit the mission file by hand and put in any number of planes you want. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-21- 11:35 PM Spanky here.. What I did was put in somthing like 9, 9 plane squads. All seperated by 100 feet. Bet ya never thought of that eh? IP: Logged
v355_Stardog Cadet	posted 03-22- 07:57 AM Well I think maybe you read a little into my post that wasnt there boys, I was just saying hey and being a little light hearted about it. I think its great you have all the new planes, just wonder where that big MH patch is I been hearing is a week away for a few eons now S! to all of ya IP: Logged
