IRRE_Belmont Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Ok, but was exactly is the point of your post ? Project car is a mainstream racing simulation, BoS on the other hand, is only a simulator made by quite a small team, also, air sims were always inferior to racing sims in term of popularity

Leaf Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 At this point I don't expect full custom settings like Rise of Flight anymore. I don't understand why not, considering it's the same basic engine and waaay back in early access you had custom settings, but that's apparently settled now. One thing that Zak hinted at, and something I'm still rather disappointed with not having heard anything on, is the ability to turn off the SSAO and post-contrast settings. If there are no custom graphics settings, that's a big drawback, but why they choose to enforce settings that are such a matter of taste, settings that I personally really dislike and could be made optional, is completely beyond me. The game's nice and fun and everything, and the upcoming additions sound good, but this game still has a few major issues* that hold it back, which stop me from being all-praising of it. * see CTD's still occuring, 48 player cap on servers, no graphical settings, LOD bubble etc. 4
=VARP=Cygann Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Belmont my friend, I really hate to say it, but you must be trolling and baiting just now His point is clear, and no other PC game is this crippled like BOS with this weird and illogical design decision. It just makes no sense however you look at the matter. It probably makes no sense to one that made that call either, but he/she probably won't admit it now 2

AbortedMan Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Seriously...who cares? If your computer can't run the game well with ssao turned on, it's not going to become a gaming powerhouse running at 60fps in 4k just because it's turned off. This argument is so old already. Everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill. 2
dburne Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I choose to build good PC's for gaming, rather than use a console. One of the many reasons, is to have the ability to fully customize my graphics options, as pretty much all other PC games have the ability to do. It would be nice if they would at least give us back what was there, ala ROF.

Everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill. Sheesh....! Talking bout putting words in folks mouths, he only said that he disliked the ssao setting and would like to turn it off, is that such a big deal, seems like it's you that is making mountains out of molehills man.

Trident_109 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Ok, but was exactly is the point of your post ? Project car is a mainstream racing simulation, BoS on the other hand, is only a simulator made by quite a small team, also, air sims were always inferior to racing sims in term of popularity This sim had custom graphic options before the release. Rise of Flight by the same developers has them as well - pretty wide range of options too. Whether the team is small or not; whether the game is main stream or not has nothing to do with BoS not having them in the game now. 1

KodiakJac Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 This argument is so old already. Custom graphics were disabled only 8 or 9 months ago. That's not old. That's hot and fresh straight out of the oven. Customers of games like BoS tend not to have short attention spans. 2
6./ZG26_Emil Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 We should have both custom and the presets, if people mess up their settings they can revert to the Balance/Ultra etc. What's the point of having a rig which has extra horse power if you can't use it? BOS isn't close to pushing my rig to it's limits and I would like to increase some of the settings especially the visible distances.
steppenwolf Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Even console games are getting custom graphic settings. http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/project-cars-will-give-console-players-control-of-graphics-options/ And it has that great 'Helmet Camera' option!
Rjel Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I really didn't mind the graphic presets when they were introduced during early access. I thought it made sense to help simplify the testing process. But now that that part of BoS is behind us, I'd like some more flexibility in the graphics settings. As was said, for those with current top shelf machines or those the rest of us (hopefully) will have next year, it could help the long term success of this franchise. I think the development team has shown willingness to bend. I wouldn't bet against their coming to terms with the wishes of many of us in this regard.

No. Funded by fans? Yes. Independent game studio gets fans to fund project, listens to what they want, creates it. Still able to implement custom graphics without the worry of so many support tickets they don't know what to do....
SharpeXB Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Custom graphic settings don't make any sense for a console. Every XBox or PS3 is exactly the same as all the others. That's the whole point. Therefore it's to no purpose to try and make different settings. PCs are all different and so need different settings. Sounds like a waste of time adding this feature to a console. And as much as I like the PC sometimes I miss the days of console simplicity. Just pop in a disc and play. Now the console user gets to spend half their game time screwing around just to find the "right" settings. Be careful what you ask for... Edited April 28, 2015 by SharpeXB
J2_Trupobaw Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Still able to implement custom graphics without the worry of so many support tickets they don't know what to do.... That's the conjecture. Knowing the team and their history of breaking old features while adding new ones (three monitor support in BoS, or gunner position bug recently inserted into RoF with fly-by-mouse option) I fully suspect something has been broken in custom setting we had in early access, and presets have been introduced to avoid the bug. When they say removing presets will flood them with support tickets, they may know it's exactly what would happen, and not because of users ignorance... Therefore it's to no purpose to try and make different settings. Drawing distance vs graphics quality? I'll gladly disable eye candy to make air and ground targets, and terrain features I need for navigation, draw at greater distance. Guy using the same hardware but flying with icons will prefer to turn up eye candy. Edited April 28, 2015 by Trupobaw 1
Bearcat Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Custom graphics will be addressed when they will be addressed. 1
