Lenux Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Are there any cloud mods for DCSW 1.5.x / 2.x.x ?

Lenux Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Okay, ZoRPA, thank you. I think, different type of clouds are important as well, for a flight sim, not only the ground textures, buildings, etc. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/srh/jetstream/clouds/cloudwise/types.html I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 What do you mean, Jamison ? That's not a mod, there are just some printscreens from some other combat flight sim ( broken saturated cumulus clouds ) I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I've also spent a fair bit of time messing around with the cloud .fx files http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2781645#post2781645 available for trying out here, be aware that nvidia graphics cards seem to suffer from framerate problems these WIP clouds https://www.dropbox.com/s/a454wht286cfoa9/Clouds%20experimental.zip?dl=0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well since i don't actually own an nvidia card i'm not too sure of how bad the FPS drop is (AMD R9 card here) best way is to try the modified files yourself and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenux Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I tried but couldn't play, i had only 10-12 fps I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I tried but couldn't play, i had only 10-12 fps This is exactly what i mean, when i have these clouds enabled my FPS hit is nowhere near as severe, something really disagrees with nV cards and the way these clouds are rendered.

Lenux Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Let's hope, ED will release in the near future some better clouds, with different types. Okay, this isn't a weather simulator, but it would be nice to have the choice, for the type of clouds :) Edited May 30, 2016 by Lenux I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Some examples, I've also enabled SMAA via ReShade to remove any aliasing that occurs with the clouds downsampling effect on objects/terrain, it looks so much cleaner with no real FPS change (so glad i have a decent AMD graphics card to handle it :)) Edited May 31, 2016 by Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Why is this happent only with the nVidia GPU's ? Will they ( can they ) fix this, in the near future ??

Mustang Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Considering that the clouds are not the default ones yet, let them work on it :) Precisely, we can't complain about something that shouldn't even be used yet, for all we know ED could be making completely different types of cloud models and these are just leftovers in the code that we can just play around with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Just a little update, I've solved a problem with luminous outlines of terrain showing through clouds in some instances, package updated for those that are brave to try it :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwfdrpgi3nxikl6/Clouds%20experimental.zip?dl=0 Edited June 17, 2016 by Mustang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontinentia Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks great Mustang! Still seeing some luminous outlines showing through though. Is that the same for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks great Mustang! Still seeing some luminous outlines showing through though. Is that the same for you? Yeah but they don't seem to be as prevalent as they were before, it's just something we have to live with if we use these clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
