Valkyrien Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Seems to be completely broken for me, I've tried everything short of a full sim reinstall and despite all that its about a 25% chance whether or not i can see my cockpit, even after nuking the shader cache from orbit.

Hammer1-1 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 You dont need to delete the shader cache anymore...and if you did that, you need to give it quite a bit of time to rebuild the cache from scratch. Depending on how many aircraft and terrains you have, it could take upwards of 10-15 minutes. MOre so if you arent using an SSD.

Taz1004 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just FYI. ED fixed distant LOD tree normal issue with yesterday's update. They fixed it in code. And seems to conflict with this mod. So if you use this mod with yesterday's OB, the tree normals will be flipped and distant trees will have shading backwards. I will take a closer look at the files of this mod to see exactly which file is causing it but is Kegetys keeping this mod updated?

Sr. Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Am I the only one NOT seeing a benefit from using the shader mod? In fact, I think it makes mine looks worse. I'm getting a very nice looking 45fps, hi textures and terrain with or without the mod. Am I doing it wrong?

A mod is not gonna push you from 45fps to 90fps. Plus, you have to configure this mod per readme file.

Sr. Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 How are you measuring “improvement”, I typically see between 2 and 3ms improvement in GPU frame times Mostly from what I see, the in game FPS counter, FPSVR(Steam), and the SteamVR headset GPU graph. Just not that much difference in the counters (GPU & CPU). What is very noticeable is the jaggy/shimmery look with the mod applied. Shadows, top of the HUD have jagged edges... not to mention sitting on the runway looking toward buildings and parking area (Nellis) Ryzen 7 5800X3D | 64GB DDR4 3600| MSI RTX 4080 16GB Ventus 3X OC | Samsung 970 Evo 2TB NVME | HP Reverb G2 | DIY Head Tracker Cap | Logitech X-56 throttle | VKB NXT Premium | Win 11 "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-of-heat Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 If you have motion vectoring you will either get your frame rate or half of your frame rate; depending on how ylu have your vive configured thats likely 90/45. as for jaggy/shimmery thats a problem at your end SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
