Lambo did you have to use so many png files. I have a 8mb line and it took ages.
They're not that big (400 kb each...) ?
This is the high res thread if you want fast loading go to the 800x600 thread ?
Although it would be nice of him to hit enter after placing 1 image so they're lined up beneath each other.
EDIT: oops 3.6-4 mb ? Lol, they're bigger than bmp, since when did that happen ?
Ohwell be patient I guess and let them load while you browse another tab
.

But they're not high res they are tiny but huge in file size.
they aren't allowed in the 800x600 thread
. But tbh I think even BMP would be smaller, he picked the wrong format...
Jpg is terrible though in some instances. I'd rather wait 25 more seconds on loading than to look at something disgusting.

lamboman........FSX.. what system you got? Is that the next flight sim? looks amazing.
i posted those pics, and its microsoft flight sim x with accelerator addon which gives you the f18 hornet.
the system running it is
4200x2
2GB 800
HD 2900xt
Is the F18 hornet simulated good ? or just a kinda free add on,not sure if im comming across correctly but you know what i mean.
i don't know whether its a good simulation, i have no idea how a f18 hornet is supposed to behave .
there is nothing obviously ridiculous about its manoeuvrability, it just acts as i would expect a fighter plane to act, quick and fast.

Crazy how good that engine looks even today.
One of the few games around that uses HDR/bloom effects effectively, and doesnt seem to overdo it like a lot of other games today (imo).
ZOMG, i was thinking exactly that lol. The outside environments look great.

Indeed. Amazing how nice that game looks. I was stunned when I played Episide 2 earlier in the year. The engine in incredible and my £150 ageing graphics card had no problems running all the bells and whistles at high rez.
You have to remember that the Source Engine that's running Ep2, Portal and TF2 has had much more work done to it, and is not the same as the source engine that CSS released on in 2003.
It still looks awesome, I wonder what, if any improvements Valve will add for Ep3 and (hopefully) Portal 2

The tree changes in Episode 2 made the outside environment come alive. Not sure what they did to them exactly but it looks good. One of my favourite parts of the add-on is when you are driving around in the old muscle car probably because of how well everything looked
