Baz000 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Anyone know what might be causing my center line runway textures to be blurry? And how to fix it? attached 2 screens showing what I see and what my video settings are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz000 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 In particular, the area of concern is when you look far down the runway... All the lines are blurry... The solid and dashed white lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 If your aniso filtering in-game is already maxed out, which it is, then you might try cranking up the relevant options in gfx card panel and see it if they help (you didn't write what card you use, but for Nvidia these would be "anisotropic filtering" and "texture filtering quality"). i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Art-J Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 With NV cpl settings like MonnieRock mentioned above, plus in-game aniso 16x and MSAA 4x, the same runway on my PC looks like in attached screenshot, so a little better (I use Mustang's terrain mod, but it shouldn't make a difference in the issue discussed here). Since we both use NV cards, you should be able to get similar results. That being said, I would suggest just getting used to it, because it might actually get worse when we move to updated 2.5 map. Filtering is already much worse on Nevada map, with its very agressive algorithm of lowering clipmap details on surfaces further from camera and no aniso filtering in the world can fix that. Since updated Caucasus is very likely going to use the same terrain rendering method, I expect similar deterioration of image quality there... 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

firmek Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 As mentioned above. For best results, 1. Use 16x Anisotropic filtering setting in game. 2. Set in NVidia control panel. Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization: Off Texture Filtering - Quality: High Quality Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization: Off For modern GPU's this should have close to none performance impact while significanlty improving overall texture filtering quality. The "Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias" setting works only with OpenGL - which is not DCS case.

javelina1 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Texture Filtering - Quality: High Quality Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization: Off How do you get Trilinear Optimization to stay off? When I click on High Quality, it does not allow to shutoff Trilinear. I've gone to a Quality setting, and then I can set Trilinear to off. But once I go back to High Quality, it shows a faded out "on" in Trilinear.

firmek Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 If what you can see is close to screenshoot attached by Art-J then your settings are fine.
