Thanks Maraz, it's really great that you're still putting so much effort into making this map as best it can be. S! to you sir.

My video card is an 8800GTX so you know. When I hit the low 30s (FPS) there's a problem.

Is there a quick mission set of miles for QMBplus?

New patch v.1.32 available

see link at first post (page 1).

Now Marsa has ground plates only south of the buildings in the centre. Few aircraft points eliminated at Luqa too. Hope this helps...

Finally got some time to test this latest patch out. It is slightly better for me but still a problem and I think it is just related to Valletta. As you can see by the FPS numbers on these two screen shots (had to restart the FPS counter as the act of taking a screenie affects/lowers the scores thus different numbers for the MAX):



Then as soon as I get within the rendering distance of whatever causes this effect



As soon as I physically get the city behind me the numbers shoot back up into the 80s (there's a lot of flak/AAA giong off and several planes at this point so it's lower) and much smoother. Hope that helps you to narrow what it might be, at leastr tin my case. Thanks for the efforts.

What version of the map are you using (mrz_malta, mrz_malta_medium or mrz_malta_high)?

hey Avatar, does FPS drop when in some other plane ? Try some plane with default cockpit cos this one is beautiful but it does affect FPS ( all textures are 1024x1024)

just a thought ....

Maraz, sorry, I didn't mention this time that it was the plain old mrz_malta map., not the more densely populated ones.

fly_zo, it happens in any plane I fly, I just happened to be in a 190 for this particular test.

I can confirm that I get the same FPS drop as Avatar.

It is very specific to Marsa airfield I believe ,when it is centred in my FOV.


( I will post some screenshots if it would help ?)

[Vpmedia]

I got similar fps drops on many other airfields on different maps...its caused by the large number of invisible runway plates which are placed to smooth out the ground.
I find this completely illogical but this is how it works.

[Avatar]

For me it's more the city than the airfield as I can fly over the city and as soon as it's behind me the FPS go back up, despite the airfield still being within my view. The really weird part is that if I approach Malta from the other side (from the south) I don't get the same impact on FPS! I don't get that at all... It still gets reduced but not as much.

[6S.Maraz]

There is not much I can do at the moment to improve the solution of this problem.

Probably in next weeks I will release a final 1.4 version including all these changes, plus a new ed-map made by Partizan

I found something strange with this map; when I downloaded it some river coasts in Italy (mainly the big lakes) had no texture assigned and showed black. So I decided to add texture using the FMB+.
When I started to play the modified map the fps went up a lot (from 15 to 35) when flying over the Malta airfields, but now Malta itself showed many black spots (no texture assigned).
Could there be something wrong with the map_T?
Loving this map however!! 8)
