Re: BSG:BTRL Demo release!!!!
I also tried the show-ship stuff and even with the lowpoly or better said lowres textures it gives the game quite a different feeling and I love it. Just slap some more highres textures into the cockpit and its done.

What's the field of view on that image? Looks like 60-70 degrees in my estimation.

That's one of the reasons why I would love to see in-game adjustable field of view...

Re: BSG:BTRL Demo release!!!!
takashi. Your system is crap, upgrade. Practically every SCP addition causes some sort of slowdown on your machine. Give it a rest.

Re: BSG:BTRL Demo release!!!!
Dude. Any system with a graphics card made in the last three or four years can run BTRL. You can get a decent card for like $60, or a card that will run BTRL for like $20.

 
Re: BSG:BTRL Demo release!!!!
The one thing I didn't like about the demo (everything else was great) was the voiceover. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely the most professional sounding thing I've heard in an FS2 mod... but it's so damn unclear with the BSG radio distortion effect and background chatter. I had to check the message line to understand what was going on when it got too heavy. I could adjust the audio volumes I guess, but for me it doesn't work well at the default levels.

No, it doesnt. Those cockpits are already in the game, and are loaded with the models, so it doesn't matter. you just have to activate Show Ship in the table entry if you want to see your ship from the inside.

With any wav editor you can raise the sounds of the voice-overs a lot.

a Graphics card for 150 $ I wish my had cost so little, besides have you tried to overclock your old system you can normally improve the performance quite alot by adding a few fans and do some tweaking in the BIOS (Of course if you are going to do this you need to know what you are doing)

I think he's talking about the new cockpit, which is not in the game as yet.
