Bob1943 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Engine "heat blur" used to work fine on all my planes. Recently I have noticed that is no longer visible on either the Low or High "Heat Blur" setting. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

DimSim Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Just tested with some random instant actions (blur setting low)... F-14B air start - no sign of blur (tested twice) F-14A ground start - blur from jets Huey ground start - blur from engines So blur is there for me, not sure if all airborne jets are affected. Try a ground start to compare with my results? Edited January 19, 2021 by DimSim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a ground start to compare with my results? Interesting test results. It's disappointing that heat blur only shows up depending on your starting mode (ground vs. air).

Bob1943 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Just checked air versus ground start on the F5. You are right, no heat blur with air start, but do have heat blur with ground start. That should be an easy bug for ED to fix. Update (1/22/2020): Today I am not even getting heat blur in the F5 using a ground start. Edited January 23, 2021 by Bob1943 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Wasn't it always the case though in DCS? I mean, lack of blur when the plane flies already. The only jets I own are MiG-21, MiG-15 L-39 and F-86, but I don't recall they ever had the effect visible in flight. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Bob1943 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Here is a screenshot that I took while landing the F5 in Sept. 2020. Heat blur is visible. This was after an in-flight start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 In my eperience heat blur has been very intermittent. In one flight it works fine, in the next it disappears. At certain FOV it also disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
