The launcer in my opinion is pretty desent, its simple but at first a lil difficult to use, but once u get use to the logical common sense of the launcher, its good.
Ive notice some things, yes i know this should be in bugzilla, but i dunno how to use that dang thing...
1. The Open GL feature to select it, although u have to "apply" it first, it wont run unless u apply it. It also, if say u selected DX5, then use it, then say select OPENGL, then select it, and use it, then go to DX8, do the same, it still is in OPENGL mode, u would have to apply the DX5 setting first to get the Primary Display to be DX in general. But the features between the old DX5 and DX8 are very noticable.
Also, since the launcher is good with 3.4 and up, its fine. although 3.5 got its bugs, i say when the 3.5.1 or whatever u guys r gonna call it, is going to be good.
2. I think 3.5 makes ships, Shivan in particular, i dunno, but the ships, (The Gorgon & Scorpion Mk2's), start having Descent like physics, they start moving backwards from turning around, and endup doing a gundam about face and ATTACKS ME flying backwards!!!! duno if anyone has notice this.
3. OpenGL doesnt run in HIRES for 3.4 or 3.5, its still 680x480 standard, but it runs smooth. The DX8 runs in HIRES and is notciably faster then previous editions including Dx8 with the original FS2.exe.
4. ANI clipping: The main hall for example, moves a lil, it distorts, this didnt occur with the initial 3.5 release, but when i used the Launcher to launch into FS2 open, i noticed it in 3.5. also the text is somewhat distored, me thinks this is DX8 (i just, cause of freelancer) upgraded to dx9 i think... i dont remember.
just thinking if anyone has noticed this.
