Ohh, yes, the models bug - forgot about that.

Indeed, make sure you have the latest version of the files.

[ShadowDrakken]

with the new vp I no longer have access to any of the missiles except rockeye, hornet, harpoon, and the piranha... not sure why or what happened to cause that... it still lets me do the missions I was up to though

[Antares]

Try creating a new pilot.

[Bobboau]

yeah that sounds like a pilot file issue

[Turambar]

*whiny*
Boooobbbaaauuu!  your build is all jerky and un-good, (though very pretty)

FIx it Fix it Fix it!

[Lightspeed]

It's a framerate killer in a factor it shouldnt be. In theory.

[übermetroid]

wow.  Was something done with the explosions? Because they are killing my system.  

Oh and lightspeed, the planet problem has been fixed.  

[Lightspeed]

Yes, the explosions (my zip) will effectively kill any lower end system in one wipe. I've especially warned on my site

If you want the slowdown to go away, delete any LOD anis from my zip (namely files that end with _1, _2 and so on) - this will reduce visual quality again, but will speed up back to normal. And still look a bit better

[übermetroid]

What system does it work on?
I got -
AMD XP 2500
512 DDR RAM
FX 5600
XP PRO

I was hopping that was going to be good enough to run SCP, maybe its time to upgrade... (again...)

[IceFire]

If it doesn't run extremely well on your system Ubermetroid than there is definately something wrong.  I haven't tested the new media VP but the idea should be to keep speed while boosting visuals...

There may be a single component doing the massive speed kill...because my experience recently is that the entire game has actually been sped up.  I don't drop below 60fps in the biggest battles of BlackWater Ops that I've designed yet...that was unbelievable because before my FPS were dropping like mad.

[ShadowDrakken]

ew, new pilot means reflying all the missions maybe some nice code guru will make a pilot repair utility for everyone who keeps having pilot errors?

on a side note, anytime there's a lot of explosions and I launch a missile during them, there's a 1-2 second pause in the game... nasty little thing...

my system is pretty up to date too, like uber's

[jdjtcagle]

type in "-allslev" in the custom flag and it opens all the missions for you

1) Using the -allslev switch makes all single player missions available from the tech room.

2) It's pretty easy to extract and rebuild the campaign file to allow you to start at any point in the campaign. Simply look at the Gameplay section of my FAQ for a nice table listing the ships and weapons you'll have to allow then simply delete all the missions preceeding the one you want to start at. Would take me about 2-3 minutes tops to do.

Yea, that is what I was thinking too.  With all the options turned on I get 100 fps - to 15 fps when there of explosions on screen.

I will have to test this out more to see whats up.  

[Turambar]

I will soon be releasing a thruster fix pack, to get rid of the glaringly ugly afterburner issues and those white circles, which i have decided are bad

[ShadowDrakken]

removed the media pack, all my missiles came back... still think it's a pilot file error?

[Antares]

Yes, damn it.  The VP includes altered versions of the standard campaign missions, plus new weapons and new effects for said weapons.  I'll bet you a penny that one of these things is bonking up your current pilot, and that if you just went to the bloody trouble to make a new one, your problems would go away.

Huff.  

[WMCoolmon]

The missions and campaign file were removed. If you don't want to remake your pilot file, try playing without speffects. It's the only file that contains new tables.

However, if you've already loaded FS2 your pilot file may not work properly any more even if you uninstall the tables (At least, that's been my experience).

[ShadowDrakken]

I did make a new one and the problem didn't go away the -allslvl didn't work either

[jdjtcagle]
