I don’t know – we’re talking to AMD about it.

I appreciate the work, and although not here, I have a question: When the problem with OpenGL on AMD cards will be solved? Regress driver is not an option, as little as turn off the HDR. See, it worked in 13.9, 14.1 are in and we have no solution by AMD and tells you to wait … But then it gets difficult if neither side intends to solve.

Thanks!

Not to mention water shedding in gliders.

I used the ground dust effect in a video for great dramatic effect. It all depends on the runway surface. Low pass doesn’t exist, so that would be something that could be added by plugin with reasonable ease. It’s fair to say that we would be able to enhance many of the effects that currently exist and add quite a few more. It all depends on how much they would cost in terms of rendering speed. This is really opening a door to creativity.

I think these things are already in the sim.

Does it mean that we might get ground dust effect for choppers or aircraft low pass on dust / grass runways ?

Cheers

That would be something to look forward to.

I think,as non programmer,that the main difficult, how to do this new Particle System without low fps. Additional slider for increase performance? Or, I misunderstand?
Cheers
