I have a really bad computer, so any plane over ~170 parts runs at around 20 fps on my computer, unless I set every quality setting to low. Generally this is no problem, but with the water quality set to low, I have a hard time seeing some of my planes, because the water is so dang dark. Is there a way, via modding, or something else, to edit the water texture and/or make it brighter?
@MrTyTheGreat
Idk what will happen when I move to laptop XD
@stig27
I do too. Smaller screen, and mobile is better optimised.
@doge I get stable 60fps at 100 parts high settings on ma phone
@doge
If anything it's iffy. Yesterday I had to crank down the graphics to get it to run at a reasonable rate, but today most everything is set to medium, and it runs at 40.
Hmmmmmm
@doge
It says that it's the first CPU I mentioned, but that may not be true, as it also says that I have 8gb ram and I know for a fact that it started off with two. (now 6)
If you running windows 10 u can see all but your cpu in setting @MrTyTheGreat
@doge
Well, I don't know the exact stats. The ram and GPU i'm certain, but the CPU might be different. There is zero info on my computer anywhere, so I could be wrong. I think it actually has an Intel Core i3-370m.
oof @MrTyTheGreat
Unless your using the motherboard output instead of the GPU output
Then that might explain somthing.
How the hell are you only getting 20fps on a 170 part build
I'm using a i2 extreme quad core 2.1GHz
And a Nividia Fx 3400 258mb
And 4 gb of ram DDR2
and I get 45 fps with a lot of settings on medium with almost 400prts
..........I Am Astonished how you have a computer with way newer and better parts yet have like no fps
@doge
Intel Core i7-2630QM. 2.00GHz
6GB ram
Nvidia 610m (2gb vram)
I think, take those with a grain of salt.
What are the specs of your PC
Like your
CPU and the speed of the cpu also the amount of cores
GPU if u have one
RAM
@jamesPLANESii
You'd be surprised. I disabled my fps counter, but I can feel at least 10 frames increase. I don't think it likes the reflections, or the transparency. I don't think my computer likes anything other than Half-Life.
@Strikefighter04
Laptop. And yes, it is pretty crappy. It actually runs SP fine until you reach around 170 parts.
It's got a nvidia 610m, and either 2 or 6 gb of ram, depending on if I installed the ram stick properly.
You must have a crap PC
@Brields95 huh.
@goboygo1 @MrTyTheGreat actually changing water textures has been a mistery in the modding industry
The main FPS destroyers are the physics settings and the shadows, so turning the water up souldn’t do much.
@goboygo1
I have. Physics is on low, the only thing other than water that isn't in low is aircraft reflections, and that drives me crazy if it's off.
have you tried using medium-high water with everything else on low? i have found that physics is the big lag maker. (and yes it would be pretty easy to change the water texture.)
