serious fl discussion ideas

[Haarek]

Out of interest, which cars, models, guns etc are overly highly detailed?
Are we talking about systems (VCMod, CW) or the models (Car Models, Gun Models)?
If it's models, for weapons, are we talking about world or view models?
Or is it just more of a general feeling?

Feel free to respond here, or DM me on discord or PM on the forums, whatever works best for you.
Cheers.

Mostly world models for cars and new prop packs.
In my opinion especially things like cars should not need to be highly detailed - the visual appeal is not worth the performance loss.

If you remember cars like the Volvo S60, Family Van and the current Tides truck - those are good benchmarks for how the cars should be.
I realise that is a bold statement - and you probably wouldn't agree.

Point is, they aren't over the top frame sucking demons.

I think an important aspect for immersion and the all-over "completeness" of the game mode; is to keep textures and models the same resolution. i.e. there's a reason every block and item in Minecraft is 16*16. It doesn't suddenly churn out oak logs with a 512*512 resolution - while everything around is 16*16. It doesn't look right... The cars on FL sometimes feel like that.

Regardless, this whole rabbit-hole is quite mute at the moment.
I believe there's other things to do which would help more in our current situation.
