Yep, no reason to panic. Stutters indicate there's a memory issue; issues with the rendering performance would show a more constant FPS drop. On the other hand this is probably free flight mode with not much else going on yet.

Anyway it's a beta probably running debug code so there is no way to judge the final performance from that.

i5 apparently:

Luthier complained on Sukhoi.ru about PCs config, they were leased to by fair owners. The problem is with the RAM, which is only 2GB, while min.requirement is 3GB. That is why it stutters over the ground (loads textures for ground and buildings).

Wow! I was looking at a PC with a similar spec. Crossed fingers it'd run the game nice and smooth with more RAM

LOL!

Weren't you the guy who alway asked for more complicated graphics?
Trees suck!
Clouds suck!
Fields, just wrong.

And you seriously thought you can have all that and get away with such an eco pc?

*still ROFL!*

Anything I ever said needed improvement would not neccesarily require a super-PC. Clouds; all that I said was a simple model tweak (flat cloud base).
Fields; improved textures and improved hedgerows.
Trees; more rounded in shape to match English trees (but this seems to have been achieved).
And there we have it. So yes, LOL, ROFL, scream with glee like a child all you want. I haven't asked for anything that can't be done with current systems.
And an eco-PC? When did I say I wasn't looking at buying another PC that's better for SoW and using this one for work? I didn't, so before you get all excited, maybe you need to be a bit more logical before jumping to conclusions.

Thanks.

Back to the actual exciting news, and not jumping on forum members in order to spur argument. It's people like you that cause topics to go tits up.

Oleg should hire you!
Definitely - yesterday.

So it's your work pc you want Sow to run smooth on?
Plus the other game pc?
Then why do you care about the first one?

To make a flat cloudbase with round primitives requires more of them --> potential performance loss.

Fields; improved textures and improved hedgerows.

Again, hedgerows consist of hedge objects, except if you draw them into the texture, which Oleg is not a big fan of apparently (and fortunately ).

Now I'm not against these changes - in fact I'd welcome them - but there are no free meals, and you shouldn't assume that those are "simple tweaks".

It shows how little people actually understand about the ratio personal wishes vs. computer needs that result from it. I had a good laugh too.

Gotta love convention rules. I have gotten screwed a few times at expos because I had to use "their" equipment or labor. Totally understood.
