OK. Until that is sorted, deferred shading stays off for me.

The problem is not the performance......... With my rig I can handle ds on or off.. But the lightning of the cockpits, especially at night, no HDR, etc...

Thanks again!

Indeed... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

Yep... HDR is dimmed out on the setup page because it is VERY UNFORTUNATELY AND REGRETTABLY somehow incompatible with Deferred shading... The cockpits look far better day or night in my opinion, with DF shading off. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

In my opinion is absolutely clear... No DS and HDR on! https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3394106#post3394106

Have you tried with Deferred shading OFF? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3394106#post3394106

Indeed... Even far inferior sims like FSX or X-plane, or any other si to my knowledge don't have this useless "feature".

Same here. Also look my post if you wish: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

I completely agree. This annoying feature does not give any benefit whatsoever.

Just swithch off tha t Deferred shading... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

No such problems here, DCS 2.5 only CTD's sometimes WHEN EXITING the mission editor, or the DCS itself.

Same here.

Hi Chuck, What can I say..... Precise, concise, just wonderful work! THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.

Whatever.... Deferred shading stays off in my rig, until is fixed.

Fine... But I guess is going to take years... Remember 1.XX 2.XX to 2.5?

Not perfect? At least some of them not usable, especially at night, I would say, with DFS on.... So until ED fixes this, for me is DFS off.

Yes JABO2009, but have you seen also what HDR can do? HDR is dimmed out on the setup page with DFS on, because it is VERY UNFORTUNATELY AND REGRETTABLY somehow incompatible with Deferred shading... The cockpits look far better day or night in my opinion, with DF shading off. And again... Where do you spend 97% of your time in DCS? Surely not looking at the nice landscape and trees, but in the cockpit... And it seems that mostly everybody agrees that the cockpit is far better with DFS off...

You are very welcome. Let's hope ED acknowledges.

Indeed HDR does have VERY appealing lighting/shading, though HDR is dimmed out on the setup page because it is VERY UNFORTUNATELY AND REGRETTABLY somehow incompatible with Deferred shading... The cockpits look far better day or night in my opinion, with DF shading off.

The gorgeous HDR is dimmed out on the setup page because it is VERY UNFORTUNATELY AND REGRETTABLY somehow incompatible with Deferred shading... The only way to get decent cockpit lightning at the moment is turn off deferred shading... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

I Do not agree at all. Have you seen how beautifully flying against it the sun blends and - not blends - (when a strut of the cockpit is in the way, for example) WITHOUT deferred shading AND with HDR? All this is lost with DFS on. The sun is a tiny ball not blending at all. Moreover, some cockpits are totally unreadable at night. There is no way to adjust to this. Where do we spend most of the time in DCS? Looking at the trees? As long as there are not HUGE improvements in this sense made for DFS, it is definitely OFF for me.

What I have done it's turn the trees visibility to = 0 Those Caucasus trees are ugly anyway... Those in nevada are far better modeled. Well we can't pretend, Caucasus is free and Nevada is payware.

Just turn deferred shading off... It's killing the cockpits..... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460

Yeah... But will we always be obliged to choose... Will not possible to combine the good things of the two? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202460
