Tress in 1.5 shimmering

[gizmo]

Hi everyone,

 

Hope i found the correct forum. I just installed the 1.5 few days back and when i did a training on the A10C for maverick, i can see the tress were shimmering/flickering. Don't know if anyone has the same issues.

 

Regards

Same here, on Huey quick start mission easy look left and all I see is flickering tree/shadows. I have tried every shadow, anisotropic/anti-aliaising setting combination possible.

 

Running Sapphire Radeon 7950 stock clocks, no crossfire latest drivers and an Intel 2600k works fine in latest stock DCS release.

Same problem as this one?

I've noticed this, too. Also trees appearing initially as black dots and oblongs and then the tree shape only forming on getting close - and then sweeping out like a carpet rolling across the terrain.

 

This is in range that they would be fully visible in 1.2.16

 

The surfaces of the hangar doors were shimmering a lot, too.

No - because that is using the TGP.

Finally got 1.5 up and running this evening and am noticing the same thing. Weird blotches on the ground and then the trees pop into view and spread out.

I have some screenshots to illustrate the issue:

I second this, i would say it's a shadow tinkering issue plus the trees popping on my face with the view distance set to ultra

I am afraid, this issue is up to the developers. This effect comes up, if a texture was stored without mip mapping. Mip mapping takes care, that a texture is duplicated with differnt resolutions. The low resolution textures are taken if an object is in a far distance. If only the original texture is available then this flickering is seen. The flickering disappears if the observer is close to the object.

There have been many reports of tree shadows flickering and trees shimmering at a distance in the 1.5 open beta and I have been experiencing these issues as well. I loaded Starway's Northern European terrain mod this evening and didn't see any of these problems. If someone could do an educated comparison between the terrain textures in this mod and the default 1.5 open beta textures then perhaps an easy solution would become obvious. Just sayin' :music_whistling:

Hey Blooze..., nice call, but if you choose alternative modded ground texture you will loose ALL shadows cast by buildings and the trees on the modded sites of the ground... citys villages etc...

With this mod enabled I am still seeing shadows from both buildings and trees. Here's a screen with shadows set to medium and terrain flat shadows on.
