Vampyr Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This issue has been reported multiple times and no one from ED has responded. I understand that this is a low priority issue considering how busy the dev team is, but any response from ED + an approximate timeline to fix would be very appreciated.

Vampyr Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 All I'm asking for is someone from ED to acknowledge that blue fog is actually a thing and will be fixed at some point in the future. I hope this isn't too much to ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 I was told depends on the season etc but meh even im not sure. Still a bug that needs to be resolved. I'm going to continue bumping this thread to the top until someone from ED acknowledges that it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard1393 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Have you guys tried the well known trick to delete the folders "fxo"and "metashaders2" directories within your "saved games\DCS" folder? That have been known to fix some shader problems, like this might be.

Torso Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 They just don't care. This is like a bunch of other low hanging fruit issues that have existed for very long times that could probably be addressed in a tiny amount of time but the higher ups in charge of assigning work in the sim just don't give a crap. Those in charge at ED just fail to see that shit like this matters at all. It does not affect them, so they see no issue. Like night time env/lighting and all the other things that seemingly only affect users and we notice..because we actually use the title. The folks in charge seem to only load up sunset and sunrise conditions to pop out some screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the fact its been an issue for so long is utterly crazy, Its such a shame because the Overcast cloud layer its really nicely done but its not usable if you want limited visibility below it :( Proud owner of: PointCTRL VR : Finger Trackers for VR -- Real Simulator : FSSB R3L Force Sensing Stick. -- Deltasim : Force Sensor WH Slew Upgrade -- Mach3Ti Ring : Real Flown Mach 3 SR-71 Titanium, made into an amazing ring.

I want to believe you but everything I've seen so far indicates otherwise. I've got a library of games that cost me $60 to $70 each that have given me way better support than ED ever has. I am not demanding a timeline for a fix. All I'm asking for is acknowledgement from the ED team that this bug does indeed exist and will be looked at in due course. Does having purchased nearly $200 worth of modules entitle me to at least that? Edited October 16, 2018 by Vampyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 First, I do agree that it'd be wise of ED to comment on this somehow. But that blue smoke thingy persay? Never seen it myself. Could be it only affects certain rare systems and the exact culprit may thus be hard to find. And what if it's actually a driver or a OS/hardware bug or fault? There're literally myriads of different PCs out there, and no single piece of complex SW runs perfectly on all of them. That, regrettably, is a fact of life nowadays. So I wouldn't really know who to blame myself if I were you, because I really wouldn't know, y'know? :unsure: The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

pimp Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I get your frustration. I too, along with plenty of others, are waiting for the new rain drops on the canopy in VR. However, demanding timelines is not the way to go. To me, this is obviously a deferred shading issue. They have already made some improvements to the lighting, but obviously still have ways to go. So join others and myself and face the realization that this is not high priority for ED at the moment. i9 9900k @5.1GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z390 E-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Evo 1TB | LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | Reverb G1 | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be it only affects certain rare systems and the exact culprit may thus be hard to find. And what if it's actually a driver or a OS/hardware bug or fault? I believe it effects everybody. Create a mission in the mission editor create and aircraft at Batumi. Set the weather as follows: Cloud Density to 10 (overcast) and then scroll down and tick the "Fog Enable" button and set it at say 200ft visibility with a thickness of around 1000 ft Go fly! and let me know what you see. It only turns blue when the clouds are set at 9/10ths or 10/10ths I beleive. less cloud cover turns it back to a normal colour. Please let us know if that results in blue fog on your system :) Proud owner of: PointCTRL VR : Finger Trackers for VR -- Real Simulator : FSSB R3L Force Sensing Stick. -- Deltasim : Force Sensor WH Slew Upgrade -- Mach3Ti Ring : Real Flown Mach 3 SR-71 Titanium, made into an amazing ring.

msalama Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 OK, will do that later today when I get off work. Everything was OK the last time I flew in low viz conditions though, but that was admittedly a while ago already. So I'll recheck and report back. The DCS Mi-8MTV2.
