High Speed Panning is in the Perfomance tab of Options --> Settings if you
want to turn it on. As for the idea of adjusting your step size based on your frame rate, that's an interesting prospect, however you should keep in mind that a straight forward calculation as you've just described would be devistating to slow computers, and although adding limits to the extremes would solve part of the problem, it would still most likely be necessary to make the changes based on a curve rather than a straight division. For example, when my frame rete falls below 0.1 (which it often does) it would not be all that unlikely for me to end up lost in one step if I was to move (blindly) at a speed that is acceptable for someone getting over 60 frames per second. It would however be nice to eventually see more options added to allow control over walking speed.... for example, a slider bar could be added to the performance tab ranging perhaps from "stroll" to "race" or something like that. (The somewhat ambiguous names being chosen over numbers here due to the fact that they would have different results on different systems.) TechnoZeus [View Quote] |
