We have three workstreams, this is the ground one.

Textures and models pretty much done. Now it's a matter of placing things, really...

You'll see some shots with objects, some without, as we work on them.

That looks amazing! I particularly like the shot of the Spit and Tiger Moth in the revetments.

The 2.10 with the new hi res textures and other features is projected for release (my guess) in July.

Looks great, nice work there guys.

Any idea what, if any, effect these objects have on framerates?

You didn't say what year smile

Absolutely fantastic work. Though framerate worries me too. 2.09 with ground objects preview was alreadly a little jerky (E8400 3Ghz, Ati 4850), and now this?

It is always a risk to push forward with new stuff. Performance is alway the key concern.

We always try to test and balance performance. We try to offer options where we can to reduce performance.

Progress is always the same, a trade-off.

We are looking for solutions and options but forward progress is our priority for our 2.10 update as it is/was for all of our updates.

We are working on some good stuff for 2.10, I think:

1. New objects and high res landscape (just a ton of work)
2. A start-up MP capability
3. Fixes improvement to BOBII's 3D Gauges
4. Random skill levels for the AI

And others fixes and features for our players.
