Author Topic: everything is so slow... pixie unregistered posted 01-11-2000 11:12 AM           I feel really disappointed by the lack of speed in this game. that's not a FPS problem, but I think ( at least I feel), everything is flying very slowly. I mean we are supposed to fly the "hottest" jet in the world, but where is the sense of speed ? When getting into a dogfight, I could be as well riding a bicycle. I've read in some others threads that people were reducing the size of the planes, but does it help ? anyway, the lack of speed is an ubiquitous problem, and I haven't found yet a jet sim that brings me the feel of speed I'm waiting for. by comparison with falcon or F22 ADF, speed in USAF is worst than ever, so I was wondering if there was some kind of tweak under the registry to speed up the sim and making it playable.

It looks ok if you run time scaling at 2x or more, LOL.

Adjusting the time compression well it helps but there's no in-flight sound....

Anything 25+ is going to look decent, but pixie wasn't refering to frame rate, rather the "sense" of speed when you get down low. Does anybody here remember in the USNF/ATF/FA games where they had a menu option that let you speed up to like 1.33x ? Wasn't time compression or anything, more like "Fast mode" or something like that? That was pretty cool. ------------------ Cry "HAVOC"! And let slip the dogs of war... Posts: 294 | From: So.

You know, they get more flyable world that way. I don't like it, but could be the reason.

Want the best sense of speed in any sim ever made? Try the little-known sim Joint Strike Fighter by Eidos Interactive. Made back in late 1997, but still has best graphics, terrain, and feeling of flight of any sim made since.
