We have this joke in 1946, where if you go over an extremely populated city, instead of calling it a no-fly zone, we call it a no-FPS zone as they crap your frame-rates. :))

Never tried it but wonder what the FPS is like above Moskau..

Height value has changed in BOM since 4.008.

Anyone have higher resolution textures for the Moscow area and buildings?

I don't think so, i tried to figure out how to edit them, they're here in the ME, but got no further. It seems Moscow map is considered final, pity.

 

PS frame rates seem normal.

It is partly fixable, set all grounds to ground, but the roads are still up in the air ...

 

 

ADDED: i think the Free Flight Moscow Map scenery is not working anymore; railroad tracks all over the 'normal' non MODDED area of the map are also up in the air,

and the trains run below them. Pity !! See Pictures:

Ive noticed this too in the "no-fly zone"..

Nothing will be done because it's a Forbidden Zone and we shouldn't be there anyway.  Don't even ask the Dev's to fix it.

It does make you wonder though why it's there at all.  The Dev's have said that nothing happened over Moscow in the time frame of the map so why was it even included?

Because of the elevated objects I have disabled my "Free Flight' mod for the time being as it's too visually jarring.  Too bad to because even with the lo poly textures you could land on the main airport and it was just plain fun to fly over while dodging areostats with no collision model.  lol

It's a bug and quite easy to fix (if it is what I think it is, they just have to reset all object heights to their new values) so I have little doubt the Devs will fix it at some point.

The battle was on the outskirts of Moscow and the city is visible from a large part in the east of the map. I love the backdrop of Moscow, besides using it for navigation.

 

As for why the area is not flyable - because of the lower quality of the Moscow buildings. Creating a big city like Moscow takes ages of modeling time that the Devs don't have, and the city itself will eat FPS for breakfast.

But i like Moscow, and the Russian people, it's not fair siq ....

 

PS was looking for this height affair for the Moscow no fly zone. It's unhealthy, that GTP business. Especially for animals.

I guess now some day we'll be flying an UFO over the USA; this Skinwalker Ranch dead cow was hidden in Maps8.gtp:
