Does everyone with a 3870 have this problem, because I get the same results?

Artlav: It might be prudent to start several poles in order to determine what bugs are related to what hardware.

Artlav: so it was the configuration thingy to make all things to lines, i unchecked it and it is fine now

Artlav, I have a suggestion for a new feature in a future version of OGLA. I posted it in the Orbiter 2010 forum as a new feature request here: http://orbiter-forum.com/project.php?issueid=484 however seeing as OGLA supports multiple light sources, it would be great to implement this in OGLA. I think it would greatly add to the realism of Orbiter.

There's already Earthlight, which is sort of what you mean.

For which Orbiter-Version is this version made? Does it work with the newest beta?

Artlav, looks like martin is catching up to you in graphics capability:http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showpost.php?p=196782&postcount=355

Seen it.
That's why i'm no longer working on OGLAClient - it's obsolete.

-The multilight is in the core
-The terrain is in the Orulex 2010
-The normal&light mapping had never been used
-The shadows suck FPS whichever mode you pick
-Lv9+ textures suck FPS like so many leeches
-Raytraced haze sucks money, needing top-of-the-line GPU
-No one cares about potential Linux portability
-Finally, not a single add-on with OGLA features were made in the last few months after the release, but several great ones were made for the practically identical core feature that is not even released yet. Why bother? I've made one Sdvig before, why should i repeat my mistakes?

Because repeating mistakes can be fun :thumbup: You didn't have fun writing the client?

 

[yagni01]

I thought another advantage of OGLA was the ability to do higher resolutions for multi-monitor views.

So what are you working on, spaceway? (check the feature requests i saw something pop up)

Seen it.

A few of my solar systems support OGLA terrain. (Xexina, Neutron star system, and the Gliese 581 Optimized)

<_<

ANYWAYS, I recommend that you make a OGLA Light version before you give up completely, not all of us get good frame rates off the default graphics client. or you could start making a DX9 version (well, it wouldn't be OGLA, but it would be quite nice).

 

[Linguofreak]

I'll second that "excuse me".

 

[Woo482]

It's his addon, if he really doesn't feel like working on it any longer he has no real reason to do so :thumbup:, and how would this "OGLA Light" version work?

 

[cinder1992]

whoops, sorry about that Lingofreak, I edited that post to avoid potential ban (it could be misinterpreted).

OGLA light would just be a striped down OGLA, so that older computers and linux users can run orbiter with decent frame-rates.

 

[N_Molson]

Anyway, Orulex 2010 is an ambitious, advanced project on it's own, no ? I don't think that Martins is going to "beat" you soon on this one

 

[Artlav]

and how would this "OGLA Light" version work?

Lot's of light i suppose? Bright light.
Like, a pure white rectangle.
Easy.


On a serious note, that was all sarcasm of course.
I'm not actively developing OGLA right now for various other projects i cycle around over time, but i'm not planning on abandoning it for good.

As for the lite version, Cinder, have you noticed the F7 menu? You could turn off pretty much any of the features to a point it would work nicely over a software renderer in Remote Desktop link.

 

[Lucy]

"Beat"? Since when were Artlav and Martin in competition with each other?

 

[N_Molson]

Yeah, that was not the appropriated word, sorry for my limited knowledge of english

Actually, if it weren't for a misbehaving computer / internet connection, I doubt my own comment would have been up long enough for you to have seen it. I changed it as soon as I saw you had changed yours, but I was stupid and trusted my computer to post when I told it to post. I hit "post", walked away for a few hours, and came back to a 404... :compbash:

I find my Linux machine actually manages the full OGLAClient with framerates comparable to Windows.
