I'll just duck in and add a livery browser would be nice. i.e. A quick way to see which liveries are available for which faction units so that we can plan a more visually coordinated experience.

Mustang, yes, a combination of things. I noticed that moving from MSAA to SSAA made the affect much less noticeable but still present. Flappie's tips set me straight. Before I was trying to get Nvidia to "help" DCS look good. Now I try to keep Nvidia out of the way. :)

Dooom, no, speed is fine.

Update on this. Turns out it was Nvidia texture filtering set to High Performance. Switching this to High Quality allowed me to go to MSAA 4X and SSAA OFF without any bubbling. This tweak guide is handy. https://tweakguides.bidecraft.com/index.html Thanks for the tips @Flappie! Just when you think it's perfect, it gets more perfect!

Yes, changing ingame settings from MSAA to SSAA makes it go away. I'll play with those other settings and see if I can reproduce.

I have it figured. I switched from MSAA to SSAA and it goes away.

Mission attached. I have my graphics settings here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=287196 Thanks!

Thanks, Flappie. I've only noticed it in the F-16 and F/A-18 modules. I'll see if I can recreate it on the TF-51. I run vanilla DCS, no mods. I can create this with a sunset on Persian gulf. I will dig up the mission for you.

Fog is a little tricky to get right. A thin fog with maximum visibility can give Persian Gulf a nice misty affect, but it darkens the water a bit much. On Caucasus the fog looks a bit too white. At night, fog can come out too green on the Syria map. Torrential rain with fog and minimums set to 3000 makes for a nice soup to climb in and out of.

Sirrah, almost! :) Fog can be useful to create that misty morning affect. After a few days of playing, a little fog, a few mountains peeking thru the clouds, the odd torrential rain, and some really nice snow storms are the highlights. A lot can be achieved adding sunrises, sunsets, and the moon into the picture.

Thanks, Helles. As a mission builder, I am looking for a quick way to see which factions have liveries for their units. That way, I can choose the map, pick my factions, and place units that have liveries that are worth showing off besides the default paint scheme. Right now it's a lot of clicking to see which units have completed liveries.

I salute your endurance, my friend! Fly safe!

Apologies for the locker room humor. :) Agreed. If a unit is on the map for "ambiance" it is wasting resources. i.e. if it's not shooting at you it should be static.

Size matters. Increasing the number of active units will eventually reach a stutter point. Keep the armies as small as the scenario can allow.

Syia Weather Ooh aah.

Thanks, Paganus! I am a little hesitant to go full dynamic while the NWS issues linger for the F-16 because crosswinds are nasty. :) I am going to play with overcast and fog a bit. Cheers!

Watch out for units trying to pass each other on the roads, especially with large groups and tight spaces. I've seen units try to climb mountains to get around a slow moving tank.

Are you using the HDMI cable for sound as well as video?

I believe it was the block 60 that saw changes to stations 4 and 6 to carry stores rather than tanks. https://www.amazon.ca/Fighting-Falcon-Multinational-Weapon-System-ebook/dp/B085KX5QZW/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=fighting+falcon&qid=1602156571&rnid=5264023011&s=books&sr=1-11

I watched my Mi-28's shoot down Vipers over Damascus today! Beast mode!

I just noticed today that SAT view has the locations of all the camps around Damascus. You can place units accordingly. Nice touch.

Ziptie, I don't use VR yet. I'm on an i7-7700 @ 3.6GHz with 32GB ram and an Nvidia 1080Ti.

You are absolutely correct, Taz! Lighting improves considerably with SSAA disabled. Thanks! @PAWS I have updated the screenshots in the above link.

Are you talking about the banding of the dark colors? This is caused by using Nvidia Gamma instead of DCS gamma. NVC->Display->Adjust desktop color settings, make sure "Other applications control color settings".
