[CAN NOT REPRODUCE]Trees disappear when zooming in

[Flappie]

Hi, I'm having a weird issue: I was flying over a dense Caucasus forest in a Ka-50. When zooming in, the closest trees would disappear. When zooming out, they would appear.

Later in the mission, I've seen that buildings would disappear as well.

 

I've seen this bug many times before, but my buddies told me this never happened to them, so here I am.

 

DCS version is current stable: 2.5.6.49798

 

Here's a video:

 

Here's my rig:

SSD SAMSUNG 860 EVO

 

Here are my settings:

A friend asked me to set the Preload Radius to the max. I did, and the issue is still here. Happens both in solo and multiplayer.

 

It seems to happen only in certain areas. It happens here for instance:

You need to have raised instancer values, goto:

 

DCS World OpenBeta\Config\terrain and open terrainoptions41.lua with notepad++ and goto line 274 section and match these values:

 

bufferSize = 32768;

checkBufferSize = false;

 

multiAppendBufferSize = 2097152;

parentBufferSize = 32768;

childsBufferSize = 131072;

Thanks for the support. Here are my current values:

 

bufferSize = 30000;

checkBufferSize = false;

 

multiAppendBufferSize = 400000;

parentBufferSize = 20000;

childsBufferSize = 100000;

 

Aren't those the default values? If they are, I wonder why I'm the only one having this bug. Anyway, I'll have a go with your values.

 

Track attached + new video: I've learnt that trees really go away, as I was able to fly through them... until they reappeared. ;)

The parameters I posted above will fix your problem guaranteed, I have had this problem too many times in the past and this method is the solution, you can even push visibility levels up even higher.

Thank you for trying to replicate the issue.

It worked just as you said! :thumbup: Thanks a bunch, Mustang. Does this change affect the integrity check?

No it doesn't, you'll be ok :)
