Shkval in 2.5

[mj3437]

I would like to know if vehicle targets viewed with the Shkval are more visible against the background in 2.5 than in 1.5.8. I am still playing 1.5.8 and can not see targets even when I know where they are as in the stock practice missions. I find myself franticly slewing around and can't tell a vehicle from the ground. There was some discussion about this a long time ago (1.5.6?). The color Shkval mod helped a bit. Can someone post a screen of the Shkval in 2.5?

Thanks

Shadows seem a bit better in 2.5, making it easier (still not easy) to see ground units out the window. In the Shkval it's pretty much the same, if not exactly the same.

 

A tip is to edit your corresponding graphic settings LUA-file. I use "Extreme" so I edit the file

"DCS World\Config\Terrain\Extreme.lua"

 

I'm using these values:

--Old Noise 
land_noise =
{
noisemin = 0.0;
noisemax = 0.3;
noise1front = 1000.0;
noise1back = 30000.0;
noise1top = 2500.0;
noise1bottom = 2000.0;
noise1PerSquare = 4.0;
noise2PerSquare = 150.0;
}

 

It blurs the land textures compared to original values, making it easier to spot ground units in all views. ProTip: Make a copy of this file, edit the copy to these values, and activate it as a mod with the use of OvGME. Otherwise, it will revert back to original values every update.

If you had seen real Shkval then you would've cry to back to the one in DCS :D
