Eisenhorn Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Just started playing the game and I noticed in Roam mode the planet earth looks like a blue granular ball. No Continents or clouds, oceans seen from space. The rest of the graphics are spectacular. My Specs: Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHZ 533FSB Asus P4T533-C Motherboard DirectX 9b Windows XP PRO with latest updates 512MB RAMBUS memory Asus FX 5900 Ultra 256 DDR RAM Nvidia 53.03 drivers I have everything on in config. all textures at 32. Any idea what's wrong with my setup? [ 02-08-2004, 07:25 PM: Message edited by: Eisenhorn ]
Andergum Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Nothing is wrong. GalcomHQ happens to be in orbit over the south Pacific. Fly around to the other side of the planet to see the continents, or fly away and look back. I think Galcom is secretly siphoning off all the earth's water.

Eisenhorn Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Posted February 9, 2004 Oh yeah. Very Cool. Gives you an idea how big a planet is when you're orbiting up close. Thanks for the curteous and prompt reply.
Werewolf Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Planet rendering is definitely not UC's strongest point, at least when compared against the beauty of Orbiter (www.orbitersim.com) which uses extremely high-res textures that really make use of that 128Meg gfx card you probably don't have Then again, I really didn't buy UC because of the graphics. And Orbiter really is a space flight simulation (albeit a free one), not a game.
