Can anyone get two terrains in a map?

If the terrain's weren't that complex, the fps might not be to bad. It seems like its objects not terrain that really slow Tribes2 down. Also, from what I've seen during some test this weekend more video ram seems to help a lot more than general system ram.

Just make sure Star is the the only one to review it then! That way you won't get alot of negative comments about FPS issues.

Can you even make a terrain that big? I know you can change the height-map of the terrain gradually, best done by the "ping-pong" gradient technique (extreme would be: white-black-white... using lower value greys will make it less extreme) on the base heightmap (chained over many sections you might actually get a torus). After you've done that, you'd additively stack on the environment heightmap making sure NOT to reset the previous heightmap. Perhaps making a very large torus and applying the texturemap would work... you'd definately be able to use the alpha map for the windows IF Tribes handles objects that big. Then again, your texturemap might get up into the Gigs. B.T.W., what is the largest size for an object in TRIBES 2?
