nrosko Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 For a while i have very bad colour banding issue where there are shades of darkness. I thought this was specifically an issue with the Oculus VR but it seems this is not the case as i noticed its mirror output is the same. Please see below screenshots. It is not just the night sky but land and sea can be the same at dusk & night time. This means i'm only able to use this game during the day. Anyone idea of the cause of this? I have a titan xp, 16gb ram i7 7700k. Win 10 64//4.5g i7 Kaby Lake//gtx Titan x pascal//16gb 3200ram//Asus Maximux Hero IX//Oculus Rift//
aceviper Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Long time issue at night...too long in fact. Needs ED to fix permanently.
nrosko Posted August 19, 2018 Author Posted August 19, 2018 Ok so it's not just me who sees this. I hope they fix this ASAP are they aware of the issue? Win 10 64//4.5g i7 Kaby Lake//gtx Titan x pascal//16gb 3200ram//Asus Maximux Hero IX//Oculus Rift//
joey45 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I believe it's on their To Do list. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mustang Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I use the Deband feature of Reshade to rid my DCS of this, the curse of an 8bpp skybox.

ED did make some positive moves regarding moonlighting a few months ago when they were getting shamed for how bad it was, but they appear to have stopped working on it. Everything else still is terrible at night. Banding, Glowing terrain instead of point/spritelights, fuzzy 2d light ball textures, terrible object lighting or in some cases objects exclude light..yes I said exclude. Like they are black holes and light does not register for them. AC lights passing through plane structure so you get disco effects in planes...etc. To fix banding they need to look into dithering or similar tech. Until they do, it will always look like 4/8bit posterized crap. DCS has always been and continues to be a daylight sim only. Of course sunset and sunrise for the beauty shots. But once sun is down, forget it. Edited August 21, 2018 by Torso
AeriaGloria Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Banding would be great to be fixed but it doesn’t make night flight impossible, it’s IFR just like bad weather.
