Corrigan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought maybe we could do with a centralised thread for reporting LOD errors. Assuming Mustang is gonna continue his great job cleaning these up, a thread like this should make it a bit easier, perhaps. I'll start: The props on the An-30M look a bit iffy: 1 Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks Corrigan this is a great idea, i'll use this post as the place to get the latest .lods package from now on. Edited November 23, 2012 by Mustang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) P-51 needs adjustment ( at least for Triple-head users). LOD model changes too early. - should be around 1nm instead of 0.5nm. EDIT: *Solved!* Mustangs files let this problem disappear ! The LOD of the P-51 will change now at around 0.8nm - and this looks OK now! The following video was recorded with all settings on high in a 3840x1024 setting. Here is a image that gives you orientation: Please watch it in fullscreen and HQ at 1024x768 - so you can see exactly the same what I see in-game. Please check this thread for reference. Air target visibility I think you have overdone it now a little....;) BTW: How can I change it back to the 1.1.2.1 settings? ... Further : ED , I know - you only wanted to help people out that have difficulties to spot airborne targets... but please check the changes that you make also on a "unexpected" display-setting... :) Edited July 18, 2012 by PeterP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 PeterP, check the attachment in post #2 it will solve the P-51 issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks Mustang!!! :) Much, much better now - LOD of the P-51 changes now at around 0.8nm . Much less annoying. @all Everyone that experience similar problems should install asap Mustangs files! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALDEGA Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The issue with the PRW-11.edm model's embedded LOD's still stands in DCSW 1.2.0. Probably the most urgent LOD issue ;) I've also noticed that around airbases there is a ground object (PRW-11.edm) which consumes 200K+ polygons (see attached screenshots). Even at a signficant distance, about 700K triangles are rendered for a seemingly flat airport due to this model ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most urgent LOD issue ;) Ok ALDEGA, please download and try the updated package in post #2 - it contains a PRW-11.edm model converted through ModelViewer from FC2 (its around 33k polygons) it looks perfect in DCS.

Kuky Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I have one, the LOD of the long fuel truck (I think it might be called ATZ-10) on airbases switches to basic rectangular box way too early EDIT: its actually ATZ-60 fuel truck Edited July 21, 2012 by Kuky No longer active in DCS...

One small detail, the modified model doesn't seem to have specular highlighting. Will give it a try later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sure thing, I'll check later tonight. Don't worry i've found the structure (nasos.edm) yes it does have a rather crappy sudden LOD shift... This isn't something that can be cured with a simple .lods edit, i'll have a word with a good friend of mine next week to see if it can be corrected.

Corrigan Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) So there seems to be LOD issues with many of the aircraft. Do I remember this being discussed as a general issue, or do you still want individual reports? Here's one example of a dogfight. Do the right you can barely make out the 27, but it's there. The LOD is rough, as you can see. The left screen has the 27 further away.
