TAW_Impalor Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello. Shadows on low give me slideshows (FPS < 20) on approach to the supercarrier if the deck has other planes. This makes landings very hard. Shadows off result in ugly looking cockpit at certain angles to the sun, with too high a contrast. I do not see that in my other modules, just the F18. I must use this shadows mode, and it works fine, but does not pass IC in multiplayer: Could such a shadows option be natively incorporated into DCS? Or F18 cockpit and pilot body fixed to look good without shadows? 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted February 23, 2021 ED Team Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi, I have requested a cockpit shadows only option, but I have no news and can not promise it will happen. However this is not a bug, but a wish list item. you can completely turn off shadows in the DCS settings thank you 2 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

TAW_Impalor Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Does F18 cockpit look ok for you in VR without shadows? For me it looks really bad in G2... 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAW_Impalor Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I just did all that and see the same. Cockpit goes from too bright to too dark, the sun appears to be shining through the nosecone and/or from under the pilot's seat. Same with global cockpit illumination on or off. To me it is a weird and unacceptable experience. With shadows ON the cockpit looks fine. I attached a quick track if you would like to reproduce. Thanks! 1.trk 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
