If you use d3d the frame rates are terrible. They are good if you use Glide.

Re: Glide Aircraft Skin Issues

Re: Glide Aircraft Skin Issues

Well, it's never a problem I have worked on or looked closely into. In his skinning tutorial Mosi seemed to think it was a matter of certain colour definitions in the pallette which caused problems with Glide, especially the large number of pallette slots dedicated to transparencies. He seems to sug...

Re: Glide Aircraft Skin Issues

There is this section from Mosi's skinning tutorial: http://mogggy.org/pictures/glide1.jpg http://mogggy.org/pictures/glide2.jpg However, given that it is impossible/impractical to make recent aircraft models fully compliant with Glide, would it be useful to compile a list of less recent models whic...

Re: How accurate is Spielberg’s "Masters of the Air"?

That last is is vital point. Those Mustangs cleared the skies for Overlord. The 8th did a bit of damage to German war industry, as did RAF Bomber Command. It was trendy after the war to pretend that the damage done was insignificant, and not worth the civilian casualties. That was never true as Spee...
