Dude, I wanted to take a break from DCS and you just ruined my plans Those winter textures are brilliant, thank you

No matter what settings is used for "forest visibility" option (can be set in a range of 30% to 100%), the trees render distance is still the same. This works on the other maps, so it looks like Syria specific bug. This is forest visibility set to 30% Edit: This is fixed in the latest patch (16.6.2021)

So can we expect a fix any time soon? What does it mean it's one of the next items on the list? Is that HB version of two weeks? Don't get me wrong, this is the best 3rd party module but it's just so bad seeing those bombs float like that. Honestly just a 2 plain cubes with grey texture joining the 3d models would do fine in the meantime.

Not a bug, they are too close to each other. Just increase the time interval between them, 10 should be enough (5 is default).

I too had 55/85, took about 8 hours with my connection but it was worth it.

Wow, this is something else. It's literaly a new game. Everything I had issues with got either improved substantionally or beyond my expectations. Clouds, water reflections, new fire/smoke effects, fixed WWII effects, sound effects, far away trees blending better with their eviroment. So much eye (and ear) candy. Thank You Eagle Dynamics, you have done a great job.

In case you experience a lot of crashes, try to disable Reshade if you have it on, that helped me.

I've got a few crashes too, no mods but I had reshade on. Tried to disable it and no more crahes so far, so try that. BUT, the crashes were happening on the channel map with ka-50, then I switched to tomcat on caucasus, so I can't tell if it was that for sure.

Try to overwrite options.lua (in saved games/openbeta), mine was messed up and copying over from one of the options presets fixed the black screen for me

Improved structural damage for the WW2 DM was on the list at one point. Possibly some more improved graphical effects are comming too.

Thanks, I'll try that with the next version I'm working on.

I made it work and made addon for skins without camo - Link. You just need to remove the .bmp part from his specular files. I too wonder why they are different colors.

Hi, I used part of the Bf-109 K4 Jagdgeschwader 53 skin from the DCS base game (the exhaust weathering) on the DCS K-4 skins I made and uploaded to the user files a couple months back. I credited the original creator BTW. Now I've updated my old IL-2 skins with the same exhaust weathering and wonder if something like that could be made public on IL-2 forum. Would ED see this as a legal issue? In both cases the skins are free ofcourse.

I used to have this on my older PC, weirdly what helped was clicking on the desktop after starting the game (just before it would show the black screen). Might have been something with fullscreen or something. Anyway I don't have that problem anymore, so yours could be unrelated.

They could have at least use existing racks. I'd rather have them clipping with the bombs than bombs floating.

OK no worries, thanks.

Mustang, can something like this be done for the Channel? Last performance update pretty significantly downgraded quality.

Roadmap thread, Discord post from yesterday here:

From the roadmap thread: "According to Kate, the new clouds are "already optimized" (you won't need the 3080 to run it). They will be released in multiple stages: 1. Presets only (release date - with the 2.6, "as soon as possible", "we're almost there", "no, not 'in two weeks' - more like 'in two months'") 2. Configurable weather 3. Dynamic weather. Apparently, the new clouds will be synced in multiplayer at stage 1 already." My guess is we'll get the 1. stage between march and june, given the past predictions were month or two off. Probably year or more to get the whole thing with the dynamic weather. Personally, presets would be enough for me.

BRAIN MELTED! Clouds, new graphics effects, Apache... I hope you guys succesfully bring all this new tech into OB without any major performance problems. Good luck.

F**k me those clouds are insane!

No more white dot, and it's just much better now. I'm on 1080p, It might be that. Or perhaps it's just about preference.

This is taking way too long. It's not one of those barely noticable visual bugs, this one is pretty obvious. Can we please have this fixed?

Great work on the latest update ED! Viper SPI, stutter on the WWII DM and lots of other fixes. I think there's even better performance on the Channel. But What I absolutely love about this patch is the new spotting. Looks great, please don't change it.

Great mod, thank you! Is there a way to keep the original smoke height for downed planes(SP version)? I like all the effects, especially the dust when the plane hits the ground, I just prefer vanilla debris smoke.
