Project D3D11Client Development

[dumbo2007]

The moon texture file in the default Orbiter install is L8?

ok I got L8 mercury from http://downloadorbitersim.com/?page_id=42 asmi's link anyway....lets see now.

By the way do I need to pull from SC using a mercurial client & compile , or is there a zip available at https://bitbucket.org/asmi/ovp/?

You can, but you don't have to since SC package contains pre-built dll for the client.

ok i dont see any zip, just a lot of commits.

---------

ok 1 of these from here I guess : https://bitbucket.org/asmi/ovp/downloads



tip 1cc1569f02b8 added limiting of the gamma value changing speed to prevent "strobe" artefacts at very high FPS 14 hours ago

All instructions regarding downloading and installation are there.

Ah ok thanks will do:tiphat:


Works !!!!, I can see the Mercury terrain in the client & updates pretty fast too !! ++1000 for awesomeness both of you & Face

So when will the height data be available ?

----------------

anyway to see the fps in the client ? pressing f does not seem to show it.

I'd say it is awesome because of asmi & Glider, not because of me . My contribution to this project is so minor that it is negligible.

I disagree. First of all, it's because of you we've met up here Second - there is a ton of work ahead of us, so if you've got time and will - you can pitch in anytime And it includes not just development itself, but some scientific research like that one, digging up and putting together resorces like that one. So whatever you feel like doing - you're more than welcomed to

 

[asmi]

Ok, back to track - together with Glider we've fixed some bugs in terrain tiles management, also I've made some improvements in HDR lighting - hopefully ones you'll like

 

[Veterok]

Is there a way to tell what tile level is loaded, It doesn't seem to be loading tiles past lvl 9.

From file

In game

I'm using Glider's latest build.
amsi, your build seems to be missing the fix Glider made to MFD display, and normals are inverted in the southern hemisphere.

I know it can be seen in debugger Other than that - I'm not aware of ways to see it... Aside from crazy things like modifying tiles of interest with something like big text "LEVEL 9" across the tile and checking if you can see it ingame

I've got whatever is in source control, so if it's not there - it means Glider didn't put it there
What MFD fix are you talking about?

 

[Veterok]

750 fps shouldn't be related. I think you just have good hardware. I'm sure this bug is because of ClearRenderTargetView function (works differently on different systems). I'll replace it by quad rendering in the next update.

Yes he mentioned it to me, yet if I remember correctly he said that it's still not implemented. Also there are more issues with 2D rendering (for example issue with XR2 panels that Cras has reported), and he agreed to take a look at them. So hopefully we'll get something soon enough

Well, the problem is gone in his build... maybe he coded it in his sleep :lol:

Dunnow, but I think we'll find out tomorrow morning when he'll wake up and read all of this

Would it be possible to incorporate environment mapping? It would be nice to see reflections in reflective surfaces like the radiator panels on the shuttle and not just the specular reflection from the sun light.

 

[N_Molson]

Great job guys, if you continue that way you're going to make me update to Win 7, and I'm not a MS enthousiast !

Oh, you aren't gonna believe what kind of plans do I have for reflections. This includes not just what you've mentioned, but water reflections (and actual water instead of just a texture like it's now) as well. But this will be a bit later.

I hate religion, especially when in comes down to technical things.

I've attached modified shader (rename it to Planet1_FL10.fx and put into D3D11Shaders folder) that will show transitions between L7,8,9,10,11,12 levels. (they will have different brightness). Also, it will always set fullrange texcoords for tiles, so you will be able to see if L10 tile has L10 texture or it textured with L9 texture.

:hmm: I didn't know that I made a fix for MFD display. And I'm sure that I've commited fix for planet south hemisphere normals to asmi's fork.

Just got asmi-ovp-253d75bd6abf installed, and ran one scenario.

Question: I notice that pressing F key for framerate isn't working. Am I doing it wrong, or do we just have to use the performance meter module?

Possible bug: Using the standard Delta Glider in the Brighton Beach scenario and in Virtual Cockpit view, pressing the MFD buttons only causes the dialog box to pop up and then disappear nearly instantly. It works fine in standard HUD no Cockpit view.

For some reason it's removed from the beta. I've posted a bug for that:

Do you have AMD/ATI video card? And can you please explain in more details what exactly is going wrong, maybe some screenshots would definetly help.

Thank you for the feeback!
