What if there was a graph or a histogram for your speed, that can be toggled(so those who don't like it don't have to use it) that is like a line graph over the span of 10 seconds or so? I think this would be great because it would allow you to see more easily when you loose a ton of speed, rather than having to constantly monitor your speed and remember how fast you were going. I know other servers do it, but I am sure that [BB] could put a unique spin on it!
I actually can't find a server that has it anymore I found a video of someone a server that had it though about 2 mins in you can see it, dude can't surf so it's not the best example. Edit: here is another video of some kid surfing, but it shows it off real nice
check the bottom left at 2:00, it goes up. The guy just can't surf for shit so he doesn't hit a speed for it to start showing.
I think it's a case of it being not all that useful. For optimisation purposes I can see the use (especially comparing side-by-side playback); but to the averge user I'd probably have this automatically disabled (as an example at least).
This, and I think maybe something to do with performance, not sure how much of an fps hit it can cause.
In theory you'd be looking at a tiny performance hit realistically, unless other people were implementing it poorly.
