Ravenndd Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Now I know what people going to say this topic has been addressed but the only thing I can find are people talking about what they think will help. No actual help. The problem is with shading. It sucks! The lines are super jagged and almost blinking. I know this isn’t right because I see all the YouTube posts and it looks great. I have a i7-8700k @ 5.0 ghz a RTX 2080ti, 32gb ram on 32” 4K monitor. It’s almost unplayable the shading is so bad and that’s at every setting. I have tried changing all the settings and nothing makes it even remotely closer to better. Please help anyone that has actually had this problem. Some one has to have experienced this. Thanks.

Pizzicato Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Do you have any screenshots or video of your issue? That would give people a little more to work with than "The problem is with shading. It sucks!" It sounds like your issue is with aliasing not shading, but it's hard to tell without something to look at. i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenndd Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Pizzicato, Thanks for responding. Here are some screen shots. While playing these lines never stop moving up or down. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoPus Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yes, shadows are low-res and there's no setting in the settings menu to make them look sharp. But you can ( breaking integrity check ) edit a file to make them look good. It works very well, here's the thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218208 Hope it helps!

FragBum Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Shadows can be a problem maybe lower the settings to flat only and terrain object shadows to flat and see if that helps. Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above. Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.

Ravenndd Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ottopus. Thanks so much for sharing this. I will give it a try ASAP. I do wonder why this modification is needed and they don’t just program it like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hello, Yes, this issue have been around for a very long time, I just play with flat shadows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenndd Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 I was out of town working last week so I couldn’t try this fix until last night and it worked! It looks amazing now. The only issue I had was that when I originally modified the numbers it saved as a txt file. I had to learn how to modify it then save as a .lua after by using notepad++. Once I did that it works perfectly. So if anyone has tried this and it hasn’t worked that’s your problem. Thanks again Otto. I’m just curious as to why this is even necessary? Does Eagle Dynamics not know about it? Just seems strange that’s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutenglisse Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Ravenndd - I think the original settings only include "low" shadowmaps résolutions because the will is to keep homogenous shadow options. On the highest setting (high shadows actually) having high res shadowmap will apply it both on cockpit AND external objects, with pretty high visible distance for the lasts. Too much impact on performances. A thing that would be cool would be to have 1 shadowmap res (high) for cockpit and 1 (lower) for all other objects (not the case actually). That would be realisticly doable ? (but I don't know if it's a 1 clic fix from developpers point of view). But shadows are like clouds - it's meant to be replaced by new effects so I don't expect ED will spent time on actual shadows system. (actual system has more issue than just low shadowmap résolutions by default, it also has bugs in transitions from very close to more far distance, interaction with mesh, and some like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
