FlightGear 2.0 Urban Effect

This is march 31st 2010 around 10 am, just installed the latest FlightGear 2 code and I wanted to show you how the urban effect looks, making the satellite photos become buildings with a shader applied. It's not perfect, but in the right direction of course. If you see some lag it's because is real time in multiplayer mode. Enjoy!

How did you manage to get your Flightgear not to lag when urban effect is on??

in 2.4 when i put urban effect on and i put maximum on quality it's the only way to get these 3d buildings but Flightgear's performance then is terrible.

@BRTvirtualAirlines Hey, btw thanks for watching this :) This is an old version of a development snapshot when released version was 1.9.1. I was testing how it looked back then and posted this video on the Flightgear forums. This video shows the first shaders implemented, like buildings, water and other low graphic performace hit stuff.

Depending on your CPU and GPU go to View->Rendering Options, on Shader Effects set the slider left to 0 and go up one level test and see ;)

rubbish. why the buildings are in some awkward shapes?

@RobloGuys Haha, alright I subscribed to your channel RobloGuys lol.

Very big thanks...now I finally know how powerful the FG graphics can be...you just have to find the setting or know about them.

Urban Effect Rocks totally hard, man!!!

The potential of this sim wipes the floor with the other tow flight sims around! LOL

Just the Offline-ATC is hard to use...

@DarkwerefoxRed I agree with you ;)

@Ronnocian i figured it out. you have to set the quality slider to 2 or more. my framerate dropped too much when i did it though so i'm not using it. hope your computer is better than mine

@adlsfreund same here i dont understand:/ i wish it was more detailed
