My only guess is because my moon is very close to the horizon so it has alot more atmosphere to go through making the moon change colour. Trucker moon is yellowish too. But my moon was white when higher when I sent a cargo ship to visit davy Jones.

I have seen a ton of moon rises and set's in my game with and with out fog with and with out cloud's and never have gotten a yellowish or cream colored moon. So there is something up with that.

Do me a favor and add this to your game then do a picture with the moon dead center of the camera looking at it. Then snap a picture for me.

Just curious, where do you guys put your in-game gamma slider? Somewhere in the middle, more to the left, or what?

Hey Leo, my moon always looks white. Sometimes it has a light blue hue to it. But only very light blue. Can not say I have seen a yellow moon.

Mine is set slightly to the right side of the center. But if a picture is too dark to see what I want I always use my picture program to enhance the lighting a bit just hit the auto exposure fix and let it do it's stuff.

Other wise they come out a lot darker.

But I did realize something today AvgWarhawk with asking them to download and use those files and take a pic. I forgot to add the halo to the mod for the moon. DUH!!! Always something. But that's okay soon enough there will be anew texture file as we are working on a new halo for the sun and maybe another sky and reflex pack if the idea's actualy work well in reality.

I move the ingame gamma until the mid-day lighting looks like mid-day lighting to my eye. Usually just right of center.

I don't see the yellow in my moon, but that could be a monitor thing. I need to look at the pic on another monitor to make sure I don't have color problems. I took that one at sunrise, so that might cause a yellowish cast. too.

Overclocked like no tomorrow and still slight stutters

BUT .......... The classic foam is still awesome

Obviously lower card settings may help

If anyone does manage hi-res-foam on the 8800 gimme a shout

Cheers

Happy Hunting

Spec:
QX6850
4gb Crucial 4-4-4-12
8800 GTX
Vista 64bit

I run at 1920x1200 with no AA but I've tried lower resolutions which all have a similar issue (albeit slightly less).

I've already mentioned it a few pages back but the high res foam causes massive stutters. Even the lower res foam causes a stuttering issue although nowhere near as bad. At all times if I pause the game I can circle round the ship without any stuttering so I am still guessing that it is the swapping in and out of the textures that causes this issue. I've tried just about every possible setting in the Nvidia control panel. Nothing makes any real difference.

Does anyone NOT have stuttering with Vista and an 8800 card?

Like I said above... no stuttering under most conditions.

The only qualification is that occasionally, when I get too close to large fires or firey explosions, the frame rate will drop dramatically and stay that way in the external views until i exit and restart the game. I think it has more to do with the sound than the graphics though.

I have the following spec

Win Xp
Dual core 6700 overclocked to 3 ghz
2gb memory
8800 gtx

I run the game at 1680x1050 on full detail with no AA or AF

The game runs fine for me with the HI RES sea foam, possible could be that vista
is the problem, but I'm no expert just guessing.

Hiya's,
I know at first nvidia said they had somewhere between 10-20% less graphic performance (whatever they measure gpu's in power-wise) with vista compared to xp due to having to fix drivers (vista aint exactly a 1 day make n release OS guys you had some time to figure drives then again ms can be a bit coy with data etc lol)

They reckon they had clawed the deficit (xp driver performance to vista driver performance) down to around a mere 10% drop in performance now running vista instead of xp so maybe this vista 10% drop causes slight probs ?? I really dunno

Maybe OS but unless someone dual-booting or using soley xp with a 8800 gts we may never define a problem to the Vista OS/Vista Drivers

Heck the foam i use is fab anyways but eye-candy is good if you can have it lol

Anyways i am off to shoot another few hundred pics while i get killed err i mean patrol lol

Happy Hunting

Ciao
