irrlicht outdoor scenes

Hey I came on here a while ago (i think around the time of irrlicht 0.6) and was told it wasnt really the best with doing outdoor / large open spaces

Has anything changed since then? Would it be suitable for such tasks now?

(specifically I'm looking at doing an RPG (not of the MMO variety!) that would involve large outdoor areas)

thanks.

irrlciht, is easy to use, and fast.

the culling for outdoor is easy, i think Irrlicht is good for outdoor scenes, if it is the Best, i don't know.
I think, every programmer say:"my engine the best".

thanks, I already knew irrlicht was easy to use

it would appear theyve made quite a bit of progress since irrlicht 0.6

Let the earlicking begin!

well for example, I know the terrain scene node has seen significat improvements.
it has auto-LOD, and is quite fast.

also, we have lots of new materials, and detail mapping, both good for terrain.

does that help?
