Shadow density

[Vekkinho]

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to change shadow color or density?!

 

Flying low over the terrain I can see my shadow projecting but it seems too sharp or too dark so I thought it should be tweaked.

 

Perhaps Teka Teka is the "Mr. know how" here...

Open the graphics.cfg file and find following:

 

}

ScreenshotQuality = 100;

ScreenshotName = "ScreenShots/ScreenShot_%03d.jpg";

ScreenshotExt = "jpg";

EffectOptions = 3;

Exhaust = 0;

ShadowDensity = 0.6;

PilotName = "No";

FogParam1 = 12;

FogParam2 = 1.1;

ObjectFogMultiplier = 0.6;

CivilianRoutes = ".\\Bazar\\Routes\\";

AviFolder = "Movies/";

PilotNames = 0;

 

The line ShadowDensity should be set around 0.4 - 0.6 less becomes too dark (in my opinion) and more becomes to bright

 

Or you can use LOCFG which I think is a wonderful tool

err... shouln't it be other way around? If density is 1 it should mean max (darkest) and 0 min (lightest or none)?

Yes. "1.0" is pitch black. The closer to "0" you get, the lighter the shadow.

hey, guys!

is there any way to tweak shadows in the current build?

I can`t see that line anymore

Such necromancy power... :D

 

DCS World uses now different files for graphics settings. I think one is graphic.lua and that line is not there anymore.
