Very low visibility range

[Hypersteff]

Hi everyone,

 

I just recognized that in version 2.1.1.6837, the object view distance seems to be very low although video options are pretty high.

 

At Creech AFB for example, buildings and objects look like "growing out of the ground" at ranges between 8 and 4 nm, which which is very disturbing when observing locations through the TGP of an A-10C.

This does not happen on the Caucasus map.

 

I captured a short movie showing the problem. Hope this is in the correct section of the forum, have never done such thing before. Thanks in advance everyone.:helpsmilie:

LOL :lol:

 

Have you tried a clean and repair?

I have the same problem.

Rendering distances of objects were certainly tweaked on NTTR in one of recent updates, and for the worse that is.

 

For example, the cylindrical tank standing east of Groom runway I was happy to use as a bombing practice target for F-86, could be visible from more than 10k ft before, now it pops up way lower, only when I'm already diving in its direction (too late to adjust aiming point!).

 

Haven't checked how "visibility range" setting affects the structures now, though.

Based on your answers, this seems to be a bug and not a wrong setting on my side. Thank you for your fast answers. Then, is this the correct place to report the bug or is there something like a bugtracker?

 

Thanks in advance.

There's no public bugtracker, so here's probably the only place to highlight the issue.

 

I'm afraid in might not be a "bug" per se, though, but rather a bit too radical yet intended method of performance optimization - not the first one on NTTR, where visual quality was sacrificed to increase fps (for example we still have lower rez distant clipmaps compared to early release version of the map).

This is terrible! When i fly low Level it seems that objects belonging to buildings like an aircondotion or a balcony seem to grow right infront of me. Its looks like the building is rendered incomplete until you are like 300m away from it. It then starts to build the rest of the details. Hopefully this really is a bug!
