Snacko Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) I set the time of day to very early and am seeing these reflective terrain tiles in the Nevada map. I'm pretty sure it's the reflective surface of part of the tiles because it gets brighter as I fly an angle towards the sun. And at higher altitudes, looking more straight down this is not a problem. I have no mods installed when testing this. And my game settings are mostly on high. And I am using DCS MSAA 2x + nVidia's FXAA. Is there any way to fix this?

Snacko Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Perhaps it's just my system? Or it could just be the part of the map that I am using? Could someone test this mission for me and post a screenshot. I would like to know if it's just my system.

Lixma 06 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yep, seeing the same thing. It appears to be a noise map or something but it's reflective and at low level looks a bit like ice. At higher altitudes it looks very odd and tessellated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precog Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Must of been the last update...because Ive just noticed this also.

Emmy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I get the feeling the shiny, baked earth look when you have a very low sun angle is intentional, but the repeating geometric pattern isn't.

jef32 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi I just care about that, a few minutes ago and I was just about to post a thread about that but I can see I'm not the only one and the problem is already reported. Just on NTTR in 2.5 OB. Not on 2.2. For now, I havn't noticed anything like that on Caucasus map 2.5 Thanks !

Snacko Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I get the feeling the shiny, baked earth look when you have a very low sun angle is intentional, but the repeating geometric pattern isn't. Yes, I think that shiny pooling texture looks ok. But the tile pattern is bad. I think I noticed it before this hotfix two days ago. But I am glad it has been reported. Hope it's fixed soon. The repeating pattern would not be as noticeable if it were not reflective I think.

Emmy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 It might be meant to be wet desert or frost, but nobody knows for sure... It's been reported in half a dozen threads now so we'll see if ED addresses it.

davewhite Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Up close they do look like water/frost but from further away there is a weird pattern to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yup. From higher up there is a noticeable repetitive pattern...

davewhite Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I found the culprit files to be "Noise.min" & "Noise". These files are located in Mods,terrains,Nevada,vfstextures. I copied the two files from a clean 2.5 install with Nevada into the latest 2.5 update and overwriting the existing two files and the problem was gone. I suppose this is a new and upcoming feature for a future release, just my two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod_45 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yes I am experiencing this also. As others have stated it's more apparent at low sun angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 yeah, +1 on this... guess is a WiP thing though it quite ruins the map right now in its state...very cool if they are trying to add some speculars maps to the terrain, would add a lot to the quality, especially for winter/snow seasons...

Chief1942 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I noticed it when I first flew the Nevada map after installing 2.5. I figured it was some a setting on my graphics card or PC that was causing it as I had never seen that effect before. Does look strange but I have confidence in the ED team that they will address it or at least provide usd with a setting that minimizes this issue.
