iLOVEwindmills Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Decided to pick up the 21 again today after not playing it for a long time, What on earth am I looking at here? I can't even tell what is reflecting in the windows here, both the front and the side appear to be reflecting the same objects? That's not even going into how low res and blurry these reflections are. I thought baked in reflections were the ugliest they had to offer, but this is somehow worse. I tried to use this mod to remove the reflections but it does not seem to work, is there any way to get rid of this? The plane isn't worth playing like this. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.ru/en/files/3316650/ Edited June 13, 2021 by iLOVEwindmills 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodHope Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm right there with you--not that I've flown the -21, but for the aircraft I do frequently fly the reflections can really detract from this incredibly beautiful simulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Apparently it's a core game change introduced with 2.7, just affecting the Mig more than the others, and developers don't have full control over it: 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

iLOVEwindmills Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Very strange, is there no way to change it anymore with mods? Years ago I also used a mod that removed all the dirt etc from the canopy, that one worked fine. Is that no longer allowed? Is there some way to make a mod like I linked in the first post work?

-Rudel- Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I've uploaded a file the servers, that controls ED's new reflection shader several weeks ago. If you guys don't see it in the cockpit shapes folder, it may explain why the reflections are strong still. 1 https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock-Knock Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Dont think that made it into OB. Nothing here, and a search on 'Mig-21_CP.edm.lua' gives no result.

rossmum Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I think this might be specific to the English cockpit? Using a custom livery derived from the Russian one and my reflections are nowhere near as severe. Worth testing maybe. Disregard, it's still there, just not noticing it as much during live gameplay.

303_Kermit Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) +1 It's some kind of sick fetish - to have dirty, possibly most obstructed windshield. Some guys seem to be turned on by dirt. I get it, it's different. One has to understand it. Is it possible to have it as an option somewhere: "I'm turned on by dirt - please make my canopy all dirty and messy" - so the rest of us can turn it off?

rogorogo Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 because it is... that the complete lack of global standardization not only on cohesive design outlines in the franchise and the information and whitebox starvation of 3rd party module providers in general and on an arbitrary and preferential, everchanging approach in particular exists does not change the assertion of the fact. It just contributes to the general assymetry, or chaos, or coherence fissures, or lack of cohesion in the co-viability of suitable assets in the AO, you can call it whatever you want. Also the reflections themselves actually are highly settings and situationally dependent - so that alone mitigates them actually when taking the reality of how most of the product users "play" this "game" into account. So just do not bother, at some point this will be suitably fixed by the module provider (they always do, despite their meager ressources, despite the challenges they have to overcome) at least on a module inside-out level. And btw. reflections happen, always.. in all assets of all generations to this day IRL, and this one as well, anyone trying to ex-post fakevalidate anything else is someone with preferences or a narrative or an agenda at worst, or just a lack of familiarity with the topic or bereft of understanding the wider systemic impacts at best (and we shall assume the best and give the benefit of the doubt).

Jenkem Junkie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Kermit are you using my skin only, or are you trying to add it to a different cockpit? I wouldn't worry about being banned, I don't think people can even tell you're using it, and it's a very common thing for people to do. Don't listen to the haters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303_Kermit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I try to spam devs - so they remove at least the "dots" from the glass. I don't know why ED/ or Letherneck tries to make players life a misery by adding effects that 50% of players doesn't want to have Edited January 17, 2022 by 303_Kermit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenkem Junkie Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 You'll be waiting awhile if you want to wait for them to do it. Easier to just mod it yourself. Recheck the path you installed it under, you likely have a typo somewhere or added folders in the wrong order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWeee Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The current reflection effect is perfect, an option will be better, but please don't modify it 1 Inte 12700KF/ 32GB@3600MHz/ RTX2080/ 2T NVMe /Hp Reverb G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
