DCS: Global Warming....

Problem with deferred shadings. It's really beautiful by day, but by night, lighting effects are...are...well you know what I mean

Hi everyone ! Problem with the deffered shadings, lightings effects during night times. How do I know it comes from deferred shadings ? I just made the comparison between my 2.5 release NOT UP TO DATE, so I can still activate/deactivate deferred shadings at will, and my up-to-date 2.5.2 Beta, where it is no more possible to deactivate DS. Comparisons were made in same conditions, no mods activated, with the same module ,Eagle Dynamic's KA50, not other 3rd party module. 2.5 Release, no deffered shadings: We can see that the landing light lights the runway in front of us very well, instruments, consoles and labels are very well lit and readable, the autopilot roll, pitch, and heading are on and their buttons are very well lit as well. Now, 2.5.2 Beta, up-to-date, deferred shadings on: The landing light is now useless, instrument consoles and switch lighting doesn't work properly and instruments are barely readable, and our 3 autopilots buttons (that are switched on in the example) are not lit at all And there are many, many, many lighting bugs like those in the KA50 and in other modules as well. And I precise I wrote this thread in a respectful and open-minded manner, no grunge involved here, no need to close this thread and thus a constructive debate :smilewink: Flo

I just did my own training field :megalol::joystick:

Cows can wait, would be better to have more important things fixed before, like lighting effects (landing light, cockpit lighting etc etc...)

...Give us back the possibility to deactivate differed shadings, lightings (especially at night) are broken :helpsmilie:

Hi ! This issue is NOT related to the harrier itself, but to ED's graphic engine, all lightings (cockpit lights, landing light etc...) are broken. Before, we were able to disable differed shadings for night flying, and that was perfect that way, but since then, ED removed this option with updates :mad:. My 2.5 stable is not up to date, and I keep it that way for night time flights.

As far as I could understand, the LCAC is considered as an amphibious vehicle (and it is) but subjected to same limitations as the AAV7 and the BTR80, max speed on water 6 knots. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no clue where and how to modify it

Great news for the F15E, the MiG23 and the Malouines, really, but maybe it would be good to finish the harrier and the M2K first ?

Bug confirmed, I experienced the same yesterday on multiplayer server

Hi there ! One stupid question, I can't move camera in F2 view with mouse, only with num pad. Is there a way to activate mouse control so I can assign my numpad to my UFC buttons ?

I just made a quick video in the 2.5 (not 2.5.2b). Things to observe: - NVG rendering (effect is bad, but field of view is wider) - Cockpit instruments and ambiant lighting - HUD FLIR rendering of terrain, relief and objects - Lighting effect on the tanker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTgt0821rjM&t=1s

That was a night air-air refuelling in harrier in the good old time, when we were still able to deactivate defferred shadings: Try to do the same now as it is no more possible to deactivate defferred shadings. Good luck.

I agrre that some things can be fixed by increasing gamma setting. But, other things like landing light that can't light anything in front of airplane when taxiing by night, the AV8B FLIR that doesn't show anything anymore in front of you (and before we could have a really good view on mountains, details on land etc etc...), and in AV8B, before when you attempted a night air refueling, the light in the AAR probe lit the refueling drogue and you had a really nice cool effect that lit the tanker as well (lower wing surface, fuel pods), this video illustrates what I mean: Try to do the same now with deferred shadings, you will not see anything until the drogue smacks your nose. Come on ED, please give us back REAL lighting effects or at least, give us back the possibility to switch off deferred shadings

...Give us back the possibility to switch off differed shading, everything is too dark (light effect, cockpit lighting, etc etc etc, especially at night, even the landing light doesn't allow to see anything 1 meter in front of airplane

My theory (and I insist, THEORY :smilewink:) Razbam developped the AV8B 2+ for fsx/p3d with fully implemented and working air/air, air/ground, air/sea radar. Maybe, and I said maybe, they made a deal with ED to have those radar air/ground/sea features working with their F18, and maybe (again :music_whistling:), we will have soon or later the AV8B 2+ for DCS :joystick::pilotfly:

Hi there ! Is there a script that, when triggered, gives course and speed of a ship ( unit name) and wind direction/speed ? Would be very useful for harrier and hornet drivers

Hello there ! I just wondered if anybody had news about the beautiful Tarawa in devellopement for harrier drivers ? There a few pics on Razbam's FB account a whiiiiile ago with flight deck personnals and their animations, forklifts, and the ship herself but no more news since then

Don't leave her parked sadly in her hangar, she wants to fly :pilotfly: Seriously, one good reason for flying early access, you will learn how to properly handle you airplane with the systems which are working NOW (and vertical landing is an essential skill to learn, same for AAR). It will be less things for you to learn when additionnal systems/features will become available. The more you learn now, the less you will sweat in the future :thumbup: We discover the early access beast with guys from the virtual squad I fly with, we learn, we build procedures, and more important, we have a lot of fun

+1

Hi there ! A bug I noticed during a navigation flight, I set the EHSD map display to have the north up, and my waypoint direction symbol was shown as it would be with the EHSD set with aircraft nose up

+1, I totally agree with Dimitriov, come on ED, make it look more "alife" and immersive

Done !

Hello there, First of all, thanks for this Strait of Hormuz map. My item for this map wishlist are more realistic/immersive ground textures. For example, in iranian mountains, it feels like beeing on the surface of Mars although there are bushes, trees, cultures as it can be seen on the joint pictures. But, the map has just been released, so everything is subjected to updates/improvements :thumbup:
