• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Getting rid of OMs

Sometimes devs are extremely insensitive about optimization. That goes to polygon count as well. VC's that drop a good 15 fps in performance are not acceptable no matter how much you advocate towards "extreme detail".

Now with 64 bits becoming the norm, they'll just abuse it more.

There's really no reason for using 32-bit bitmaps other than wasting storage space and memory.

Exactly. But to be fair, there is no established "good practice" regarding optimization during development and much is down to experience or finding the right threads at FSDev.
