Do u need GeForce6 to be able to run this thing? Or will GeForce 5 do?

I think that if you have a Radeon 9700 the game will go down to 1fps when you put this baby on the mission.

GeForce4 minimum, and really designed to be placed out at sea (without land in sight, and viewdistance set to < 1000m), or as a Quake-type level in itself (yes, it is enterable) for "storm the aircraft carrier" levels. The carrier is 274 meters long.

I started it purely as an experiment - can one take a very high poly-count model and import it into OFP? The answer seems to be yes, with a few tricks.

Oh and I did check - at this stage it is actually quite playable on a GeForce3 system. And it&#39;s just fine when walking around it - when the engine doesn&#39;t have to render too much of it at once.

I would be very grateful for any pointers to (or indeed, soft/hardcopies of) suitable photographic reference material of the Kiev class carriers (not the Modified Kiev class - that&#39;s a pretty different animal). This will help speed the production process.

One more thing - I am currently modeling the deck runway paint pattern as a solid object to avoid the rather ghastly way the OFP engine renders runway textures from afar.

whered you get the model from? It looks vaguely like a model from Commanche/Hokum, in a non textured sort of way

[deadsoldier]

looks great..high poly like most people mentioned. u can remove some unwanted details..like those squares on the floor..did u make this model from scratch?

cheers

How did u overcome 128 meters limit for models?

[Major Fubar]

I just hope this doesn&#39;t become one of those overly ambitious projects that never gets finished.
Fingers crossed...looks nice.
