Blinde Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I remember that Flaming Cliffs and DCS used to have ground dust that comes from aircrafts engines jet wash when flying on low. Nowadays I can't get this effect to induce at all. I thought it was pretty realistic and today it looks pretty dull without it these days. Any chance to get it back? Edited February 9, 2020 by Blinde
Blinde Posted February 9, 2020 Author Posted February 9, 2020 Go lower. It should still be in the game. Thought this too. Couldn't get low enough without crashing. If this effect is still there, it sure wasn't set so low earlier.
Tholozor Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Definitely still there. REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

Blinde Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Okay, I admit I was wrong. It's still there but the amount of it depends on aircraft. Hornet makes the dust quite easy but Tomcat or Mirage not so easy. I still think the dust effect appears way too low. Edited February 10, 2020 by Blinde
Blinde Posted June 24, 2020 Author Posted June 24, 2020 Is there anyway to strengthen this? It's way too weak at the moment some aircrafts don't raise dust at all. Same goes on water. There should be very visible jet blast waves.

Katj Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I've noticed that you really need to fly very low to get any kind of effect on water as well. I don't know how low exactly and can't test right now but about 2-3 feet maybe? If memory serves the effect appears just before you submerge the fuel tank on the viggen (which by the way isn't a big deal).
Blinde Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 Latest newsletter mentions that some improvement are planned in 2021 for dust, explosions and trail effects. ED propably takes too much into account for players using way too old computers for game that should enter to 2020 nearly next gen effects. At least add option to toggle those off.

Seeing as an increasing number of people are using VR in DCS, I couldn't disagree more.Even with top of the line hardware it's not possible to run DCS with high graphics settings in VR and get acceptable frame rates.So I'd like the focus to be more on optimisation and less on eye candy. 1
