Kuky Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 The box shape LOD being invisible from underneath is fixed internally already, but I don't know when it will be brought into public release, so just hold on, fix is on its way No longer active in DCS...

NRG-Vampire Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 just saying i think the A-10C model got a LOD texture bug as well, so please check that guys looks the first LOD model - the most detailed - has/shows different skin than the other LOD models (when using the zooom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian265 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It would be really nice if servers could set their own visibility distances, which are enforced on their clients. This issue is what put me (and plenty more I assume) off CLoD. Servers (or even missions?) need the ability to adjust visibilty to a level which doesn't cause too many people to get bored and not fly online.

vicx Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 This box model seems to be very common There is also a model OR a engine based shortcut called V_lom.edm that is perhaps also problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least the box is fixed. Callsign "Lion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted December 20, 2014 ED Team Share Posted December 20, 2014 any news about that thread ? Spooting aircraft is essential for Wwii fighter. Will "the lod box" be in Edge a corrected Issue ? Its fixed internally.

airdoc Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) EDIT : wrong post Edited December 27, 2014 by airdoc The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtekopf Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) The problem is still there. I filmed this in the latest version. The two disappearing aircraft's are a Tu-95 and a Mig-21. They started to disappear as I was zooming in, don't know if that's relevant. Edited March 12, 2015 by Tomtekopf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicx Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Tomtekopf, that video you posted looks like a self-shadowing effect is being turned off as the target aircraft flies away from you. IMO this not as serious of a problem as a broken LOD object but it is still worth looking at. It would be interesting to know how the logic of when to apply self-shadowing works. Is it connected to LODS or is it a hard coded. I first noticed self-shadowing on ground objects turning off at very short distances ~50m away which frankly looks terrible. On aircraft it looks like self-shadowing is tuned to be active at greater distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLARIS1 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've seen the same phenomenon with P-51Ds and F-15Cs. You loose visibility within a certain zooming in value and regain it if you zoom out. Sadly A2A visibility remains the main problem and deterrent when it comes to DCS. No other flight sim can come close to the flight models and quality of aircrafts (inside and out) of DCS. Sadly...most (if not all) solve A2A visibility in a usable way. It's not fun flying in an A2A environment while 90% of your time you can't see squat....

You are more than welcome to do it if you think they're able to do something about it themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makeshiftsoul Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 @Tomtekopf: Wow, thanks for capturing that on film! I'm trying to learn the Mig-21, and could swear targets sometimes just dissapear on me! Might not be all noobness atleast. Quite a comfort. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
