Russwhite Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 i have just recently posted about the problems i am having with stuttering scenery, now i have more problems. i am suffering with the known shadow issue (i have 8800GTS), but also the heat blur is not visible even when activated in the graphics menu. No heat blur at all! is this another nvidia driver issue, does anyone else have this issue? Bit pissed off now, as i have spent all this money on a new system to play this game to is full potential and i am having more problems now than when i was playing the game on my old socket A 3000+ and geforce 5200! crazy!!!
imdying Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 If it helps, I have an 8800GTS with the 6.14.0011.5822 drivers, and the heat and shadows work fine.
Russwhite Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 all ok? so you have a 8800GTS with the recent driver package and all is fine you say! just out of interest what operating system are you running? i am on XP professional service pack 2.
Black_Hawk Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Be sure to fly below 500km/h (some 250 knots) to see the heat blur. At higher speeds it's not visible :smilewink: 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 ...and if I recall, never seen at any speed on A-10 (The Bill and John II movie had to blue screen it in). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
imdying Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Yep, XP SP2 here. Can see the heat haze from the 15 on the runway no problems.
Russwhite Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 F-15!! funny you should say that as i tried out the su-33 and other jets including the F-15 and the heat blur showed just fine! so it must only work witrh certain planes then, as i only ever fly either the "frogfoot T" or the "Warthog" and they dont seem to show heat blur at all. Anyway, the FULL shadow option still does not work (plane is rendered all in shadow and lines apperar in the haze) so i have to use the full planar shadow option instead to correct those problems but then you dont get that fantastic level of reality. I really was hoping not to have to compromise after such a costly PC upgrade!
Kuky Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 yeah well, I reinstalled Falcon 4.0 and installed that RedViper patch (if you've hurd of it)... anyway... that thing was running at constant 60FPS on my end all the time... "problem" is Falcon 4.0 looks like crap :noexpression: LockOn looks great but still you need to compromise on some things to get good performance... they are not that bad (the compromises) but still need to be done... I really hope game code is fixed at least a little bit for the upcomming BlackShark :helpsmilie: PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
Azrayen Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 The heat blur effect comes only on planes which - are equipped with an afterburner (*) - fly less than 500Km/h (*) So no heat blur on A-10, Su25, Su-25T (for the flyables)
