Ok, here is the very first Albatros Dva screen-shot:  Also I found out the FPS killer for my SE5a - it was not the wind shield, but the transparent holes in the machine gun. Funnt thing is that this is the exact gun as teh Fokker Dr1a which has no FPS problems. Oh well. If you have any of the gun in view the FPS go from 60 to 30 or 20 - the less the more you zoom into the gun. I removed my wind shield and FPS were identical. The holes did not belong there for the Vickers gun anyway, I removed them and now the FPS is much better  ------------------

Looks great SV, glad my help on the cockpit hole worked out. On the holes for the gun, what we are doing with the OPP project is to go ahead and make the part transparent. Then just use the texture to make the holes. that way the holes are not modeled and they wont cause any FPS drops. nice plane, can't wait to fly it! Razer IP: Logged |

You know, I was visiting the Openplane WWI site again last night, and after looking at all the planes again, I can't decide which I like the best (aesthetically, I mean), nuum's Airco or the Albatros. Too bad I can't fly either of them yet...Werner ------------------

Razer,That is how the gun was - solid LOD with transparent holes in the texture. It looks sweet, but kills FPS in certain situations - maybe when other alpha textures like the prop/windshield overlap it. I just killed the alpha since the Vickers gun does not have the holes. -Sv IP: Logged |
