It was Lightspeed IIRC, that fighter was pretty cool.

That would be me, and it was okay. It needs some serious reworking in places.

These models would only be displayed during the few moments when they pass right by your cockpit - it's rare but happened to me on quite frequently compared to other such events.

Actually high poly count missiles will be a very little drain - you just have to set the LOD distances correctly.

D'oh! Thank you Karma! :nod:

edit: I see something about textures above but... is it supposed to look untextured in 3DE? Or what... shouldn't it just use the old ones or is my computer just messing with me again?

12100, approximately.

Of course there's like 5000 polys taken up by totally useless details, and probably another 2000 taken up by poorly executed geometry. For example, I used 1650 polys on guns (with hollowed out barrels!) and another 1500 on missile tubes. That's 3000 that could be shaved down to probably 600 with some intelligent poly usage.

That's a definite improvement, though I think the sides and fuselage could do with more work. But I'm not complaining. :):yes:

2 things:

 - cockpit could use smoothing (the glass part looks... edgy)
 - textures need more detail

Else than that it looks fantastic. And it doesnt slow anything down at all. 5 Hercs on screen = 0 FPS drop. (85 FPS without anything on screen, 85 FPS with the 5 Hercs on it) ;)

anything that stays above 85 FPS is no slow down for me. It'd be useless anyway since the additional frames are not needed due to V_synch. :)

But it _would_ show how much of a slowdown the Hercs cause. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Let me get this straight.... Bobboau recreated the Herc1, KARMA re-meshed the Fenris...

Does that mean more high-poly models from you SCP people soon? It looks like in the end we'll have to download a CD-ful of VPs. :eek:
*looks at his 56k modem... cursed thing*

Nevertheless, great work. If only we could get a re-meshing of the ACv Phaistos and the old AF Kato. :doubt:

The SCP people aren't making them as an upgrade, IIRC, it's just people who want to do it making them.

And they happen to be in the SCP :D
