Gr00v3r Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The dust blowing around when hovering low level is not bad, however you can clearly see its an effect that is regenerated every 2 seconds or so. I think a smoother effect would be great. As well as low level flying in jets - effects are a little basic and need a do-over. What do you guys think? :idea: Intel i7 4790K, 16GB DDR3 1600, GIGABYTE GTX 970G1, Win 7 x64, X-55 HOTAS :bye_2:
b00ce Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Honestly, I think there's too much dust. You don't see dust over grass ever. You only see it over dirt/sand with a loose top layer. What would be cool is seeing bits of grass blowing around the aircraft when it gets picked up by the blade tip vortex. And only on dirt seeing dust.

wolfstriked Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I agree and this is a big wish for me......dust thrown out dependent on the type of ground underneath.Looks so kool to see ground vehicles in DCS thowing up clouds but over grass it should be slight if anything and just the stuff based around wheel height.:thumbup: "Its easy,place the pipper on target and bombs away." :pilotfly: i7-8700k/GTX 1080ti/VKB-GladiatorPRO/VKB-T-rudder Pedals/Saitek X55 throttle
shagrat Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 So over desert a real "brown-out" with zero visibilty? Cool, that would kick ass!

shagrat Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Looks so kool to see ground vehicles in DCS thowing up clouds but over grass it should be slight if anything and just the stuff based around wheel height. Depends a lot on the season and conditions... I've seen Leopard tanks pulling quite a dust vane in summer speeding over a "grassy field", just the soil was sand based and prone to produce fine dust. But the overall idea to take ground types into account for dust is a good one.

Witchking Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 +1. The smoke at certain FOV / angles looks almost as a flat plane on the ground sometimes. Definitely needs a makeover. Even on water...would be nice to see new ripple effects and rooster tails when flying low.

vicx Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Just this thread is killing my framerate. *Not really. I would like to see MUCH MORE attention given to smoke and dust effects* Also not just to make it look good from an aircraft which has been the only consideration up till now. It SHOULD be realistic for people at ground level in Combined Arms units. I have been testing CA in VR mode and the smoke and dust is not that good. Edited October 14, 2015 by vicx
shagrat Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 What did you do, to actually get close to "killing" your fps in EDGE? All maxed and ultra etc. I get 30fps on 4k! Also, the effect is already there and is consuming resources. So if it gets tweaked, who said it needs additional resources?

vicx Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Shagrat, I do agree with you. Maybe tweaking will be sufficient.
