Sensors.dat or scene.dat?

Jonte · 02-14-07, 03:57 AM

As I'm having poor frame rates in both NYGM and GWX because of:

- The 16km visibility mod in NYGM.

- The many graphic updates in GWX.

Can the solution be to copy the file that sets visibility from GWX to NYGM?

If thats the case, is it the Sensors.dat or the scene.dat?

I know these files determines other aspects as well but both supermods are trying to be realistic in this aspect, right?

Scene.dat.

Warning - Using GWX's scene.dat may have unexpected results in NYGM use at your own risk.

EDIT - Why not use an 8km scene.dat?

Jonte,
I don't think the graphic updates slow frame rate; because of elimination of some high resolution graphics, I think they actually speed it up.
Use the 8 Km (default), and don't activate the 16 Km mod and you should be ok.
Also use the lite harbor mod.

If I understand you right, you use the NYGM mod but you will have the 8km vision of GWX.
Why dont you use the JSGME and put a 8km default atmosfere in it in NYGM.

I believe it also depends on your computer sustem..... Graphics card, Memory and CPU.

Post what your system is Jonte, and myabe the guys can give you some recomendations to upgrade it, if you're able to do that.

I've tried GWX with 8km default and harbour lite but it still stutters, don't know why but I suspect the graphic updates! NYGM also stutters but I think it is my cpu that can't cope with the 16km visibility mod...

NYGM doesn't have an optional 8km visibility mod that's why I'm stealing the default scene.dat (8km visibility) from GWX!

My computer is on the very low end but I could play stock SH3 with no problems in harbours and in bad weather... No I'm not able to update the computer but I wanna play too!

I have not yet had the time to test this theory of mine, maybe tomorrow!
