Alright, got it now. Smile

Recent AMD's are actually not that bad, but still no competition to higher class i5, not even mentioning i7. AMD has one interesting attribute, though, it can combine and sum the performance of the graphic chip integrated on the CPU with the external GPU on a separate card. Intel cannot do that with nVidia, which is a pity. Razz

So yes, the vsync did the trick. I have maxed the settings out - 16 for anisotrope filtering, MFAA on, gamma correction on, Supersampling 8x, FXAA on.

My PC is Core i5 4690 + GTX 970 + 8GB RAM.

My fps (for reference are) the following:

Brno - 105 fps

Senice - 237 fps

Vranov Jih - 143 fps

Vranov - 145 fps

Lipnice - 61 fps

Lipnice Haje -65 fps

Deblin - 95 fps

It tells me more than you think, I know where to look at next. :-)

With AMD CPU's they use more power than Intel, at least between the ones I checked. And also the value for money for AMD was quite bad because with the AMD at a similar price to the i5 I was after, it only had the graphical performance of a i3.

I did a little digging to see if I could make your FPS killer bushes a little better today.
The biggest culprit turns out to be the use of the Rotate function in your animated files, which is being evaluated once a frame, even though it's a static result.

My most recent nightlies (2016-05-11 onwards) contain a patch which on my machine boosts the FPS where these are used by 50% Smile

This means that it jumps from 45-48 FPS at track position ~9100 (With the killer bushes) to 65-70 FPS.
Other locations on the route see some decent jumps, but not quite as spectacular.

(Note: Testing on the version of the route before you started optimising)

The effect of this patch will vary considerably based upon the number of animated objects in use, and whether any static rotation values have been used, but I'm quite pleased with that little find.

Cheers

Hello everyone,

Ihave managed to upload the 754s with revolving bogies to my website. The thing is (after my initial struggling) working. Very Happy

Good night!

Hello everyone,

I have just uploaded a new version of class 163 to go with the route. It has got a brand new undercarriage (or whatever it is called these days) and revolving bogies as well. Find it HERE

ANd I don't think I have even said "thank you"... shame on me.

by **Dexter** Sun Oct 03, 2021 10:09 pm

Anyway, guys, is anyone still hanging around with this route?

Haven't played the sim in quite some time, there's just enough real trains in my job

But once this route is finished, I'm definitely checking it out

Looking forward to it, might very well become the most photorealistic route in the bve universe

by **Dexter** Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:18 pm

I have been playing around with the footbridge recently... since we have got GL 3.0 renderer now.
1 ) Yes, the handrail is fully 3D
2) Yes, it took a lot of time
3) Yes, all the textres are photorealistic now

How do you like it?

by **Quork** Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:32 pm

Looking really nice on the picture! Does it work good in the route as well?

by **Dexter** Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:33 pm

I will shgare a screen from the route later, maybe tomorrow. I am quite tired already... but yes, I was able to use it in the route. It has replaced the old footbridge in Senice, Vranov-jih.

by Gothpaladinus Sat Nov 13, 2021 11:07 am

Great job indeed! This footbridge looks very realistic.

by **Dexter** Wed Nov 17, 2021 2:14 pm

So, here we are, looking down from the bridge in a route...

Some time has passed by and I am slowly working on something that could see the light of the day later this year. As for now, I cannot really promise any new mileage, rather a revamp of something that has been done before and deserves a new coat. We will see where that takes me afterwards. :-)

by **Quork** Sat Feb 05, 2022 9:37 am

I'm intrigued =)

by **Dexter** Wed Feb 23, 2022 1:30 pm

Hi guys,

I have been slown down by covid in the last week (yep, gone through it, and still here I am), but in the meantime, things have been moving forwards. I took this as an opportunity to redo stuff and refresh my knowledge for the new route.

by adstar Wed Feb 23, 2022 1:34 pm

Looks good.

Wow, this thread is old and untouched for some time. Laughing

Anyway, I have been playing around for a bit now, still need to figure some stuff out (it has been a very long pause as you might have noticed), but some things are getting along nicely.

I have decided to to test the new render and it's coping quite well up until now. We shall see where its limits are... the poles are proving to be quite challenging (they are 3D and not fully finished yet).

Good to see you back Dex!!!!! I always loved your content since I started playing some while ago, so Im hyped to see what's new!!!

By the way could you link me the post's image? for some reason my browser doesn't load it up xd.

EDIT: I just found the actually true new post XD. Sorry, im not used to this classic style of forums

by **Quork** Thu Aug 10, 2023 11:02 pm

This really looks amazing.

Hi,

thanks for the joy you have expressed. Smile

I am glad to see this kind of reaction - it can be a good motivation.
I have to admit, though, your nickname does not seem to be familiar. HJave you changed it / have you got a new one?
