AA SE Vulkan is fantastic!!

[WhiteFang]

With AA SE Vulkan I am finding performance is better with very large engagements!

Planets look better to me as well as does lighting in general.

Don't think Reshade is even needed here.

A fantastic achievement and thank you!!

I usually played AA using the instant action button but have finally with SE defeated mission 10 by 1 second

Mission 12 with the Vonari Base - wow nice, very immersive.....and got demolished several times.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary of making truly the best space-sim games ever seen

Seconded.

Fantastic, glad it's looking good and performing well. I'd be interesting in learning your system's basic specs for reference (GPU, GPU, memory, speeds, etc).

Hopefully, mission 12 isn't too difficult. There are some techniques that can help if needed.

Hi Vice, here are my systems specs:

A few points:
- my settings on my PC were from here for xplane 11:

- low latency - off
- Max frame - off

I tend to use reshade for AA and hdr but have not done so here..

Great, thanks!

[WhiteFang]

btw just finished mission 12, it was exhilarating!

So many ships and so flippin smooth....unreal

Great Job, Vice, no issues here and running great. I hope EL gets some love now.

Up to mission 15.
Far out so immersive! Great missions really advancing the narrative and there is a great variety.

Spoiler alert





Loved the challenge of the absolutely massive swarm around the Vonari Base.

Gas giant with strong gravity and huge winds.

Then a Wolf in sheep's clothing spy mission in a Vonari Fighter, nice!

[Vice]

Cool! It's got a few surprises

[WhiteFang]

I am massively enjoying the ever increasing scale of the story and the sheer number of ships.

[Vice]

Awesome!
