The balloons are red from a distance
The tangle cables do need to be reduced

:up:

Those balloons look great!

Okay, if you have enabled the test patch, this is good news actually: it means that the LOD model is used already, without need of any special setting.
You can disable the patch now; should we experience lagging in the vicinity of some dense barrage balloon fields, I will further reduce the number of their vertices :up:

I will reduce the picketing lines (i.e. the lateral wire cables) to a length of about 100 ft (30m): this is the altitude at which balloons were secured before being deployed. As for the central suspension cable, unless there is a special reason for shortening it, it will be bended but not reduced in length, so to allow a realistic max operation altitude of about 4,500 ft (1,370m).

lol.. I just finished to install sh5... and to install all mods.. now.. I see.. I must to restart.. again... what this patch is fixing?

Yes - the LOD was working
for lag, I need to test in a larger port with some ships and perhaps an air raid or two:D



:up:

Good to see you back stoainm! You have been away for some time!:yeah:

Good to see you too. Yes.. I was lost on sea.. for few years.. but now I am back, ready to hunt some convoys! :)

In any case, they should not affect rendering smoothness more than the previous balloon model did. Despite the feeling of better detail, the new meshes have a smaller number of vertices, edges and polygons, and the LOD model further reduces these numbers to about one half compared to the main model :yep:

:yeah: :woot:

Which patch? By now this game is a collection patches, reworks, tweaks, fixes and hotfixes :O:

the new version of OH2.. that trevally.. it is working now.. I should stay until he will finish?

Good morning.. gap!:)

Yes, I think this would be a good idea :03:

Good morning to you stoianm! Here in the old Europe is about lunch time :)
