Tracks Do balloons effect FPS?

[Gelly916]

Hey guys, I'm racing in VR and pushing my system about as far as it can go. Do things like hot air balloons and airplanes buzzing by effect FPS at all? If so, is there a way to disable them in both modded tracks and Kunos content? Also, let's say I do disable them on a certain track, when I go to race that track online will I receive a checksum error?

Thank you.

Well, nothing's free but the dynamic balloon models are pretty cheap and aren't collidables. I've never noticed a performance impact, even with quite a few of them. In fact, 1,000 of them at Spa had no great negative effect, as I recall. I think we tried 10,000 after that and the framerate did dip a little.

Haha I couldn't have hoped for a better answer, especially from the balloon master himself. Thank your for the info

I dunno about performance, but I've come to refer to balloons using a phrase that would be "FPS" if expressed as an acronym.
