I've done some testing boresighting on the fly and whist in active pause. During active pause, the Mavericks boresight perfectly and as they should. Defiantly seems related to the new INS update and the aircraft moving.

Will you be updating your other 2024 liverys with the new gear texture and canopy reflection?

Yes there are a number of things you can do, dropping shadows, lowering of the view distance and others will all help but you shouldn't need to. If you can fly between the buildings of Dubai, Cairo, London or Paris on other maps and hold 60fps, then you should be able to fly over a small farm and trees on otherwise empty terrain on South Atlantic too. On the same note if I can have a silky smooth ride low over the buildings of Rio Grande and Rio Gallegos, I cant see why I have a stuttering mess flying up a random valley near Ushuaia where there is nothing but trees? Puzzling

Thanks for having a go anyway. I've done some more testing and it still seems a distancFactor of 2.5 is the setting that will work with all maps. No flickering and good performance for twice the defalt view distance. I've kept the all default presets as they come with the game and lowered the distance for the extra presets to 2.5 for Ultimate and 5.0 for Insane. For comparison, some screenshots below for anyone interested. The difference is more apparent when you flick back and forth between them.

I get a senseless drop in FPS in random places and even in the back country miles from anywhere where the only thing rendered is the trees. I can hold a solid 60 FPS on every map currently released at the maximum settings DCS has to offer, it makes no sense that sparsely populated South Atlantic slows me to a slide show in the middled of nowhere with nothing to be seen other than trees. With thanks *For anyone frustrated with this problem, pulling back the Forest Details Factor slider to 0 eases the problem for the most part and can be done in game whist on the fly.

It appears to be directly related to the distancFactor as lowering any of the other settings has no effect. A distancFactor of 2.5 seems to be the highest I can go before some buildings around London start to flicker. 2.5 is not bad being twice that of the default extremes 1.5 and I could live with that but after seeing how the world looks set at 5.0 its a bit of a let down. For now, I will probably use Extreme at 2.5 for Normandy, Sinai and the South Atlantic with its FPS hungry trees, Ultimate for the the other maps.

Extreme and Ultimate look superb and run well on my system but unfortunately causing buildings to flicker on the Normandy Map and it's particularly bad over London. Looks to me as if its cant decided what lod to use and flicks between both?

Thankyou

The download seems to be corrupted, I'm unable to extract the zip file.

While on the current topic of view distance but being mindful of not hijacking Barthek's thread, dose anybody have a working modified graphics for the view distance I can try?

le1hy If possible and when you have the time, would you mind doing a texture for the mxu-648 travel pod to match and blend with your skins? Unfortunately the F-16 seems to use the one for A-10 and being light in tone, looks like it doesn't belong or blend in with your skins and tanks. Thanks

I've just experience this and the brain shake horrendous! Seems to be a feature added to all FC3 aircraft. Is there anyway to turn it off?

Except for the A-10, I was surprised all the others were still at low resolution. I hope the update in 3d model materials and the implementing of PBR textures will inspire community texture artist to make high resolution alternatives for us.

Caused by custom cockpit textures, select Default cockpit in the special settings menu and the mirrors will be back.
