TripRodriguez Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hey guys. I know with all the high priority stuff in the works this is almost certainly a waste of breath, but I have to try. =D I believe all that has to be done to prevent the clouds from spinning strangely when you move your head around is to have the cloud textures orient based on the location of the aircraft, or based on the pilot location rather than based on the pilot "camera" that moves. If it's an easy fix, please take care of this. It's quite distracting, but obviously not near as big a problem as VR performance issues etc. etc. and I know new clouds are coming eventually so I only intend for this to be addressed if it's pretty quick and easy.

bilbosmeggins Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Spinning clouds aren’t just unique to my system then. Phew! That’s a relief :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrah Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Spinning clouds aren’t just unique to my system then. Phew! That’s a relief :D No definitely not (you can also see them in that other ww2 sim, when looking at smoke. In that same other sim, the clouds don't rotate however) +1 to the OP System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Flett Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Not unique to your system and not unique to DCS. And not I think an easy fix. I don't know all the ins and outs but I gather it's tied very deeply to the way graphics render which is why it crops up so often. It's not that it can't be fixed but the alternative render is much more demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system can’t cope with current demands, never mind extra workloads :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitS Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think clouds are not renderer as 3d objects, that's what causes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Flett Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think they're called "billboards". As you say a 2D object pasted onto the sky. As I recall a new cloud render is on ED's "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz1004 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think clouds are not renderer as 3d objects, that's what causes the problem. They're particle sprites that rotates to always faces you. Currently it rotates on 3 axis. They can make it so it only rotates on 2 axis.
