August 14, 20214 yr Apologies if this has been posted but didn’t recall seeing it. This is a great comparison of SU4 to SU5 with the same hardware and a controlled flight/conditions. Edited August 14, 20214 yr by neil0311
August 14, 20214 yr The memory improvement is the biggest thing for me... although what is not mentioned here, you need to change LOD from 100 to 200 in SU5, to get equivalent visuals. 🙂 Bert
August 14, 20214 yr My observations were that sat on the runway the trees on the right had better definition in SU4, but as the video progressed, the buildings definition looked superior in SU5. Overall SU5 came up with the goods for me. Will it please everybody? an impossible task.

What negative can happen with that, lower FPS?

But the solution is easy: with some sliders we will hopefully be allowed to use our hardware. So they promised. As everyone can see, there is something definitely wrong with lighting in SU5. They will need to address that also. A.
