flyingduck Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Hello! I think this is not a new issue...but instead of it... How are those cockpit shadows in DCS 1.5? I only have 'harsh-sawtoothlike-ones', not natural ones. Also for example the cloud shadows are same kind of unnatural and with kind of harsh 'pop-up' appearing and not-smooth moving. There in 1.0 they were so smooth and with good reality. So now I can't use shadows at all. Not even in low mode. What is the matter, is it with DCS or my computer? I have a year old i4790, 970 graphic card with 4Gb, 8 Gb fast RAM and BenQ -gaming monitor with high frequencies. regards from Finland, Marko
jimcarrel Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Sounds like graphic card drivers. Have you had this problem since you installed 1.5? Could be in-game settings or you are missing some texture files, have you tried a repair? Win 10 64 bit Intel I-7 7700K 32GB Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6gig
flyingduck Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Yes, the problem came just with that installation. Before that were no problems with full details everywhere. Now for example those cockpit shadows seems to be some kind of little 'movement' all the time, just living, and they are without softness. I haven't tried that repairing. But I don't know which is a way to do that? Also I haven't checked those in-game settings.
bernp Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I have the same problem with irratic shadow movement with the mig 21, especially noticeable when sitting on the ramp. Using the latest dcs engine with the new gtx 980 Ti video card and 16gb ram. I've changed my settings in game, to medium, that helps. Hope a better fix cones along.

flyingduck Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Yes sorry I forgot mention the plane, Mig21 and yes very bad there in ramp. So at the first have to check those in game -settings...
bernp Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I think this is an issue that Leatherneck needs to fix. I just posted this "shadow" issue on their Bug Tracker site. I'll post any response I get from them. Update : LN closed my problem ticket, because apparently, this issue had already been reported. I've been playing with my settings in DCS and have found changing to "flat shadows" only and turning off "depth of field" does improve the graphics quality quite a bit for me. Hopefully future updates will fix all these issues Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk Edited January 19, 2016 by bernp Update
flyingduck Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Okay! Nice to hear that Leatherneck maybe is working with the issue. Hope that it will happen soon...no sooner or later.
