Zephyr, I think you made a good decision on not using this "remake" if you don't like it or is not properly working on your PC. Is what Freddie asked in the first place. I am interested in seeing your approach too on it. And I am not being sarcastic at all. I've looked thru the textures my self and yes, some textures with text on them could look even better if the text was redone (even preserving the max 512 resolution like in your example) but...
the tone...
Man... telling a politician he's a moron and then proving him wrong and stupid with good arguments can be done on any tone... frack him! But to a fellow simmer that spend so much of his time rebuilding one of the cockpits, to try to wipe the floor with his work telling him that all is good for trash is plain wrong.
Can't you use any of his work or he's ideas? Wouldn't be more "constructive" to tell him: "Hey, great effort, very nice result (at least for your screenshots right?) but, could I have your consent on redoing some of the text you let untouched? or Let's try to solve this "waste of memory" by remapping the textures a bit?" Maybe solve the "bug" of "sun thru the panel" too.
But no, better we say to him he's work is basically close to nothing and we start from scratch... this will boost my ego and will lower his... thus we win by calculating the difference remained, not to say about the great use of descentralized-distributive paralel works. If only nature will work like this...
How about all the modders here write a common letter to Oleg and tell him that his whole game is quite trash... after all... look how much moding and head banging it brings... You should entitle the letter: "We the AAA modders community declare your game a total garbage and we start to build a new one... -Battle of Great Britain-"... or something
. I'm sure Oleg will appreciate the sincerity and the constructiveness of it.
P.S. I have 4GB of RAM (3.5 actually used by my XP) and 512GB of video RAM and I don't see major problems with this cockpit FPS wise. :?
