What about an Iranian language RIO? Would be cool to have a Farsi speaking Jester, even if us westerners couldn't understand a word of it :) (we have a good number of Iranian DCS pilots in our community, maybe they could help out)

It seems the shadows revert back to flat shadows at a distance hence the sudden shift in shape as you get closer to them, it does look quite ugly.

Still the same in todays patch.

Yep I noticed the bugged shadows in the F-16 cockpit in Wags' videos over the past week or so, hoping they'll be fixed soon.

Also pre-ordered here, looking forward to flying the electric jet :)

Never ever seen a ship vanish at close range, only at 10km or greater ranges.

Solution, goto Bazar\World\Shapes in DCS directory and locate 'albatros.lods' and open with Notepad++ and change the contents to: model = { lods = { {"albatros.edm",100000.000000}; }; collision_shell = "albatros-collision.edm"; } as a sidenote the 'Rezky' model also shares a similar problem and can be fixed in the same way.

Yeah the Ultra setting is bad for DCS and causes very irregular FPS, a good explanation of this feature is written here https://www.anandtech.com/show/14765/nvidia-releases-geforce-436-02-driver-integer-scaling-and-more "Ultra, meanwhile, is more -or-less new, and goes one step further by reducing the queue size to 0, meaning frames are submitted to the GPU on a just-in-time basis and no pre-rendered frames are held in reserve."

Sparse Grid AA still works really well with DCS, I use 4xMSAA set in game and 4x SGSSAA with NV Inspector.

It's metric, so 150000 is 150km radius around player.

Happy the forest shadows are fixed, now I hope the cockpit shadows could be repaired next.

Thank goodness, been thinking it's a driver problem or even my card playing up, cheers for verifying :thumbup:

Bumping thread for awareness, uploaded higher resolution video showing steps to reproduce bug from mission editor (set time to 12:00 so sun is overhead) XKBpKn82nDE

Has anyone else noticed black sparkly/shimmering textures on objects recently? I've been trying to pin down what might be causing this, I managed to snag a videoclip of it happening on the F-18 along the dorsal of the aircraft, it seems to vary depending on time of day/sun angle. EDIT: uploaded a 2nd video with the F-14B demonstrating the problem with the effect being even more pronounced. nZontY_p9pM eXopMAqCwns

The bug from the first post has been back with us for several versions now, wishing to see it fixed in next OB update.

A good review of the 436.02 driver https://www.anandtech.com/show/14765/nvidia-releases-geforce-436-02-driver-integer-scaling-and-more

Seems that nVidia are busy fixing the GFE install bug https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/gamescom-game-ready-driver-436-02-download-discussion.428136/page-7#post-5702231

It's only the DCH set that needs the Windows Store, the normal WHQL game ready drivers do not require this (I have Windows Store disabled and NVCP works fine) here's an example https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/gamescom-game-ready-driver-436-02-download-discussion.428136/page-4#post-5702078

Just tried them out on my GTX 1080, all fine so far - adds new option 'low latency' mode in the NV control panel (basically max prerendered frames) P.S: heads up : this driver installs Geforce Experience even if you uncheck it, you can remove the software after it's installed however through add/remove programs in Windows.

Any one notice that the shadows settings now go up to Ultra? (8192 res)

Not fixed in todays OB 2.5.5.34644, see how large areas of the Hornets headrest are missing in the shadow, also there is still no pilot shadow in the cockpit as there was 3 versions ago.

Also try maxfps = 0 as this completely disables the FPS cap completely.
