could you make a huge scenery that is realy BIG I spose i doesent have to be perfecly scale. but what if it was about 2 times the size of the rhineland scenery with some sea so we could have some ships but it could be mostly land and if it had siple textures it would not be too bad for loading times.
The reson i asked this is that the scenerys are small enough the the b17 or other aircraft dont realy run out of fuel(ok it happens to the me262). In the war b17 pilots had to get the bombing raid perfect first time round because the could not spare enough fuel to go back round and have another go at the target. and i beleave it was the same case with the german bombes as well.
So if a big scenery was made the b17 and the mustangs would fly out and get home short on fuel And if we were in a sdou war and we only had spits or P47 (both had considrably less range then the mustang) they would only be able to escort the B17 out part of the way but then they would tern back and leave the vunrable B17 standing alone. so what do you think i think i would add a lot more realism to the game.

Ok how far is the range of the Mustang or the B-17? How long does it take to run out of fuel? I doubt that someone could stay online in SDOE for more than an hour without problems. And who wants to fly for hours just to bomb a tiny little village or factory?

Ok you have a point there but what about if the scenery were not huge but a bit bigger so it gave us enough time to form up a formation. in the war the 262s were ontop of uss befour we had got off the ground. So if we had bigger scenerys we could form up and counter the attack.

Ibelieve from previous threads that this is not "It cant be don't" but rather "It eats the heck out of frame rates" issue...
