Stuka Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 After a long time, I picked up this sim again. Even still had to buy FC :music_whistling: I got myself a new pc a few months ago with following main specs: Processor: Intel Core Duo 6600, overclocked to 3.2 Ghz Memory: 2x1GB OCZ Graphical Card: Nvidia 8800GTS with 320 mb memory All installed on a Gigabyte P35-DS4 However; I'm not realy pleased with the graphics that I have in Flaming Cliffs. I insert som screenshots so you guys can see what the problem is: Hi, You can see what I mean the best on the missiles. I guess I have to change some settings, but can not really figure out wich ones. Also, If I compare the quality of my screenshots, to some posted here on the forums, mine are of poor quality. Might have the same reason as the problems like they occure on the missiles. I'm running this sim with all settings on maximum, on a Windows XP SP2 machine. I hope somebody will be able to tell me what to change in my settings. Danny out.

Highwayman-Ed Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 It looks like something is defrinately wrong. You say you have all your settings on maximum? Can you confirm that scenes are on High, and the visibility ring is on high... I ask as I can not see a single tree in your screen shots...

Kuky Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 hm... this looks like another sampe of the freekin' shadowin bugs which I think LockOn is full of :( Try Full Plannar shadows No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACUTech Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Roger that, put shadows on Full Plannar, and try giving it a bit of FSAA and AF in the nvidia control panel... =ACU=Tech TECH Systemes Computer 1 Computer 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVJG73 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Everything what they have to do is, to place full shadow settings to "all planar". This is the old NVIDIA Geforce 8 chipset full shadow bug.

Stuka Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks for the replies guys. I checked some stuff: All options in FC are max: I also checked my NVidia settings: In the Nvidia settings, I made some changes, but still I've got those strange "things" on the weapons, leading edgde, top of the plane. Is this like it should be, or is there still stuff to change? I also noticed in the main screen, that the pictures of the planes are not to good either. Is this nomal ? (could live with that) I just want to make sure that al my settings for the graphical stuff are set to the best possible.

ACUTech Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Your problem comes from the fact that you have shadows set to "Full". This is a bug with the 8800 series cards. You will have to set it to "Full Planar" in order to solve this. Also, I would set Antialiasing - Mode to "Override any application setting". As for the menu, no worries it has always looked like that. Once again, put shadows to "Full Planar" and it will look 10x better...

Stuka Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Ok, that did it. Looking awesome now. Settings is call "all planar", that's how I got into ****ing up. thanks a lot !

Do you have this shadow bug with ATI? I thought ATI works well with Lock-On.

thereminqblank Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have two suggestions: 1. If Lock On starts to crash when a mission starts with a "lockon.exe encountered an error and had to close...etc", chang the 'Water' settings to Medium. There is a known bug that causes the game to crash on higher than medium water settings. 2. Unless anyone can tell me otherwise, I could never find any settings within Lock On for AA and AF. I use nHancer to force Lock On into 2xAA and 4xAF. That will sort out the 'not so good looking' aircraft on your Lock On menu screen.

Kuky Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Water = High/Very High and Overcast = CTD so keep water on Medium or no overcast. To set AA/AF use graphics drivers setting as these are not available in LockOn configuration settings in game. What ever you chose in video driver settings for DirectX 3D setting is what you'll get in LockOn. No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorwaK Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Maybe Off topic but yesterday I realized something that AA and AF don't work with Lock-On if you've Wndows Vista installed.
