Comes Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hey guys, Vegas looks great if you are close but it looks a bit blurry as soon as you are a littler further away. I have attached a screenshot. Is this the way it is supposed to look? Anything I can do here? View Distance is set to Max, DCS 2.5 Release Version. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted May 15, 2018 ED Team Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi what are your system specs, and DCS settings? Do you have textures set medium or low? Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Art-J Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Just tried moving the F11 free cam to roughly the same coordinates and altitude as on your screen (BigNewy, I recommed doing the same) and checked how the city looks with maxxed out terrain texture settings on my config. Yup, the same blurry mess here. Never paid attention to it in previous versions, as I usually don't fly that high :D. Could anyone who still has 2.5 release version on their PC check, come and comment? Keep in mind, though, since many, many versions ago, that NTTR has had an extremely aggressive treshold of transition from high to low rez clipmaps (as seen mostly when looking at highways and railways, which wash out completely a couple of kilometers away), so that might be sort of "normal" and "expected" for this map.

Nick_17 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) This is what i changed: clipmaptextures = { colortexture = { textureSize = 4096, updateStep = 128, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, source = { textureSize = 4096, updateStep = 128, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, normalmap = { textureSize = 4096, updateStep = 128, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, shadowmap = { textureSize = 4096, updateStep = 128, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, lightsmap = { textureSize = 2048, updateStep = 64, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, splatmap = { textureSize = 2048, updateStep = 64, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, splatmap2 = { textureSize = 2048, updateStep = 64, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, ramp = { textureSize = 2048, updateStep = 64, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, tilemap = { textureSize = 2048, updateStep = 64, updatesPerFrame = updatesClipmapPerFrame, forcedRGBA = clipmapsForcedRGBA, }, } Everything else should be the same. Changing the normal map size should make the biggest difference though.

Quadg Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 these photos don't seem off to me. if anything the heat haze should be worse. its a desert. from the hotels the mountains dance on the horizon because of the shimmer. and if there is no wind then it combines with the smog to make the city almost invisible from the surrounding ridges :) well that's how it was when i was there. found a good spot above the race track to watch b52 land at nellis, but we should also have had a great view of the city beyond. we didn't. because of shimmer and smog. and all that water evaporating off the lawns and swimming pools :) My Rig: AM5 7950X, 32GB DDR5 6000, M2 SSD, EVGA 1080 Superclocked, Warthog Throttle and Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Oculus Rift.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted May 16, 2018 ED Team Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes, I have checked and seeing the same, there has to be a balance I think with the view distance at that altitude and performance.

Boss86005 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Nick, I tried changing my terrainoptions41.lua using your settings, but only see a foggy blue ground.

Mojeaux Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 It is just my observation and comparison. From the older versions of the Caucasus map (only one at the time!). The overall view of the map was clear and you could see for vast distances. However; the frame rate sucked! I remember when they tried to improve the frame rate by adding the haze! I noticed it right away. Didn't like it, but the frame rates seemed to have improved a tad! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
