Hello,
I’ve notices that no matter what speed I set (via this.bulletAppState.setSpeed(speed) in my extension of SimpleApplication) the actual ingame speed is capped at roughly 3.75 (+/- 0.05) if and only if I’m using Vsync.
I have tested this by letting a vehicle run at (what the engine thinks is) 5.0km/h and measring the distance covered at various BulletAppState.speed-values: (1,2,4,8 and 20) with actual speed (1,2,3.75,3.75,3.75). BulletStateApp.getSpeed() always returns the speed value as it was set, so the variable doesn’t get messed up before setting the speed.
I’m using a Thinkpad T540p ( Intel Core i7-4710MQ-Prozessor @2.5Ghz, 8GB Ram, nVidia GT 730M). CPU usage is between 5 and 8% (<=20 in total), RAM usage about 600-700MB (about 2-3 GB total), fps without vsynch at about 500, with vsynch 58-60 with the occasional 57 or 61.
Without vsync it scales fine till at least speed = 8 and then starts to slow down somewhat (speed=12 yielded about 10.6 actual speed for me) but at that point it’s most likely simply too taxing on my system without vsync.
Is this a known issue and are there any workarounds without forcing off vsync?
Thanks
