Daniel Sedlacek Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Not bad. From the screens, I assume we'll still be using the tacops from BC3K? Not that theres anything wrong with that, in fact, I'm just now getting more used to using TacOps in BC3k, and sometimes change can be a bad thing Got my G400 yesterday, save some money for a few months and by a decent processor (Athlon) and I'll be all set. Mwhahahah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest macross Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Wow, looks great!Now that you've been playing with the G400, any chance that Multi-monitor support will show up in any of your products? It would be absolutely _amazing_ to be able to have the bridge view (or TACOPS) up while simultaneously keeping an eye on that outbound shuttle or incoming destroyer...

Parias Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Daniel: I _think_ that the TacOps shown is placeholder, it'll probably end up looking different as later builds are introduced..correct me if I'm wrong ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Supreme Cmdr Posted February 10, 2000 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Thanks Eclipse. FixedApart from higher res support and a graphics frame around it, tacops won't change. Why should it?BCM supports multi-mon on the G400 so that you can display tacops on a separate monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cmdr Josh Dilvorn Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Until now I was a little indecisive about whether or not to buy a GeForce or G400 for my new system. But that will be SO cool.

Guest macross Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 (after a short, stunned silence, the person at this end of the keyboard falls over, dreaming of the cool possibilites with multi-mon support and drooling on himself...)

Supreme Cmdr Posted February 10, 2000 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 There is a new computer system similar to Tacops that allows you to open up to 8 camera views. Though similar to the camera in tacops right now (from the CP), these allow you to display either an external cam view or the HUD view (if its one of your crafts). So, you can pretty much open up 4 cameras and be able to see exactly what your 4 interceptors are seeing, without switching to them. You just can't fly them.Of course, this all takes processing horsepower, so, a fast machine is required if you're going to be opening a lot of windows. So, G400 users can pretty much have this computer, like Tacops, open on a separate monitor setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sedlacek Posted February 13, 2000 Report Share Posted February 13, 2000 I finally got off my lazy butt and d/ld Quicktime 4 (for like the 5th time, why can't you just d/ld the actual install program instead of one that d/ls it for you?), and the shots looks very tasty. I'm glad I invested in a G400.Now, I was wondering how fast a processor I would need to get smooth framerates when playing BC:M, the G400 is fast, but a fast processor is also a must. Or is it? Right now, I'm on a K6-2 3D 400 MHz (clocked at 366 mhz because I don't have the correct jumper settings for my motherboard, thank you very much Tiger Computers), will I get good, smooth frames with this? How fast are is the comp used to take the screens? Also, will the Strike Pak use any bump-mapping? I'm trying to figure out what you could bump map on the inside of a battlecruiser... hmmm...

Supreme Cmdr Posted February 14, 2000 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2000 The game system requirements are on the products page.The SP module has no form of bump mapping whatsoever. It doesn't have multiplayer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
