ag_smith 0 Posted November 23, 2003 Okay, I'm checking the P3D model right now. Let's see what we've got here: Resolution LODs: 0.5 = 5401 faces  - That's OK. 25 - 3327  faces  - Hey, face count to high IMHO for 25 res.LOD 50 - 362 faces - Works for me... There should be more Resolution LODs ranging from 1 to 15. Geo LOD - 2527 faces, 108 components - Oh my God!!! If you don't know why you get SUCH a LAG using this addon, survive crashes, walk through the plane, that's why. Face count should be less than 500 for well made model. Fire LOD - 2689, 36 components - same as above. Maybe this plane looks excelent but as an addon it is technically crappy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted November 23, 2003 Maybe this plane looks excelent but as an addon it is technically crappy. Spot on, and sadly, this seems to be the case with most of VITs addons... Visually excellent, but technically lacking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeRp 1 Posted November 23, 2003 Amazing addon, but I have some bugs here... When using the camo version i get an error about a missing animation phase (flammen), and the AfterBurner is not available. Another error is, that f16stall is missing. Sometimes i can fly, or better drive over the ground and the machine doesn't take any damage at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted November 23, 2003 Well personally I haven't had any problems with lag, at least not more so then with other detailed aircraft addons. I'll have to see if I can shoot it down. If it can be shot down, then it's good enough for me and I'll use it in missions. At the same time however I hope that some of you addon makers will send VIT an email pointing out the Geometry problem. He's obviously put a lot of work into this addon, so I don't think he'll mind fixing it up just a bit. Better yet, perhaps he's willing to accept some help in fixing the problem because personally I think that this aircraft is well worth making perfect. It flys well, bombs well, and looks stunning. If the geometry settings and the other minor bugs were fixed it would be perfect. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r1c0cH3T 0 Posted November 23, 2003 I don't have lag issues either. The only thing that happened weirdly is when I hit the ground and skidded without gears down and it didn't take any dammage. I don't dislike VIT's work, but he needs to finish some of his stuff. Everything he releases somehow is always missing something or something looks funny or is not to scale.

Gen.Carnage 0 Posted November 25, 2003 since VIT is a one man team, i have only one thing to say about his addons: respect! true they aren't perfect, but as others pointed out, lots of time went into it. It seems ofp community is spoiled rotten these days, all these high tech addons with allmost photorealistic skins and super advanced scripts are to blame. People seem to forget how hard it is to make such addons, and how much time goes into making them work so that 'the powers that be' will not start whining ..:) I tested the f16 and have to say its really not bad, especially as target drone for the tunguska... it crashes and burns pretty nice Only one thing bothered me on the f16.... the gun sound is so incredibly off reality it made me think of that B-movie 'iron eagle' in which you hear a pre-ww2 gatling gun rattle at 300 rounds per minute. i've seen f16's fire live rounds at a shooting range.. they sound like a really really loud big fat FART..:) (100! rounds per seond) The f16 is a fine addon and fun to play with, except (for me) that gun sound.
