    It looks good for a controller, but please do not force this on PC users!

    I believe the Unknown Arc User makes the most cogent points without the current unwarranted hysteria on this topic. He/She wins the Thread.

    lol...the forums are wonky as of late

    The players aren't much better.

    Of course, it should be noted that the (Firefox) movie linguistic staff members' Russian skills really sucked:

    Clint's selection menu -

    Ружье (Gun) ok this one makes sense ...

    Припасы (Supplies) ... say what? what supplies? Ammo perhaps? how much/what type?

    Орудие (Cannon) ... um ... Redundancy anyone?

    Снаряды (Shells) ... say again? what, seashells - LOL

    Вспышка (Flash) ... as in "camera flash"? too crazy

    None of the selections translate to what Clint fired: Rear-firing MISSILE (Ракета сзади стрельбы) - facepalm lol

    I thought - could be wrong - that the 6 "cylinders" beneath the engines are supposed to be some sort of "flare/chaff" launcher combination, not a "rear firing missile".

    Though I can see the confusion about a "fired" flare looking like a missile with the amount of speed that those two were supposedly doing in that scene...

    And you see the silliness in "movie UI design" - though I can see "supplies" = missiles & those chaff/flare things, while shells = cannon ammo.

    Though in the aircraft world, there's a difference between a "gun" - usually a Gatling/Vulcan "rotary" type thing and a "cannon" - single barrel "WW II type" weapon. For all we know "MiG 31 - Firefox" had both, never really looked for schematics on the thing...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    That is just horrible. Keep it the hell away from PC.

    The gun/cannon thing could be a mode select switching from between ATA to GTA or indicating you are using the internal gun or a Gun pod on a pylon.

If PC players would at any point be forced to use a re-ported console UI it would simply be stupid (porting a six year old game to next gen consoles and then re-porting it back to PC at one time is already madness).​​

    Ugh... Players are going to have a hard time getting their powers off at the right time with that setup.
  • dragonbane1977dragonbane1977 Member Posts: 17 Arc User

    HEY I have a question for those with 2 screens on the pc...... Can you drag all of the UI windows to the 2nd screen and if you can dose it improve your FPS? never mind I already answered my own question the 2nd screen isn't a different pc its just an extension of the original screen :( Maybe we all should just go buy another pc and have the UI on one pc and the game on the other pc...that would be a lot faster than the DV's fixing the current pc UI, this UI fps hog has been around for 6 years if not longer....its not getting any better...hard to enjoy the game on low settings just to be able to play at 8-30 fps. turn off the ui and poof 50-60 fps on high settings..

    Nah, that's a bad idea. Part of the problem is that the game is still rendering everything even if you can't see it....
