Esac_mirmidon Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) For me is a very good change, tunning down the clouds reflection over water. Its a little overdone and in my case with the sun low ( when the shadows are more colored and longer ) im seeing some banding-ghosting effects when zooming in and out fast ( Track Ir ). Lowering the reflectivity make this effect dissappear. One question, what is the value you are editing for clouds shading tunning over water? What file? I want to try just a little more reflectivity. 0.95 is great but maybe to much tunned down for my own taste. Thanks a lot for your continuous tunning.

CrimzN Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Thank you Mustang! I have 0.93 installed. The cloud reflections was one of the first negative impressions I had of the 2.7 update. A lot to love about it, but that bugged me. Gonna try out v0.95. Thanks again for this awesome work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinde Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Which file and value controls the cloud reflection? I'd like to change it to be little bit more like the default. Edited June 9, 2021 by Blinde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Jones Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) For some reason this isn’t working for me any longer. On latest beta 2.7.1.7139. Using OVGME to manage. This worked great on 2.5, and seemed to be there on earlier 2.7 versions. But did a recent repair and reinstalled the latest version (replaced the Bazaar folder in my roots mods directory). Cleared fxo and metashaders. And nothing. Still have hazy horizon. Also using with Kegetys VR shaders (clear water version). That VR shader applies fine via OVGME. What might I be missing?

Mustang Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) @Gravy Jonesno idea mate I never use mod managers so I am unsure, best method to me is the direct application of files manually to the game directory - 99% of people who use this mod have no major issues. v0.96 is uploaded today with some minor adjustments to the water reflectivity brightness and a workaround for the black/white sparkly dots sometimes seen when camera is very low on water looking towards distant horizon.

LanceCriminal86 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Has anyone observed weird "ghosting" when in F2 view over water? I turned off Reshade, dialed back some of my graphics settings but I'm seeing a weird ghosting when flying over the water. If I point the camera up to the sky I don't see the effect. I have the latest version of the shader mod, I have not tried rolling that back a version or two. I like the less crazy reflections but am wondering if this has to do with any edits, or maybe I have another graphic setting that's interfering?

Not what I was hoping to hear, I hated the look of the default shaders and I had to do tons more stuff in reshade to get it looking okay. Maybe let this patch settle in and give it a bit? Seems they are indeed slowly making some changes with the 2.7 shaders but I'd hate to see the edits you've made stop altogether.

Eldur Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Wondering as well especially since he said this: 19 hours ago, Mustang said: Tested for the past hour in 2.7.2 and all seems to be compatible with this version. Just read on the Mi-24 forums that the mod might be causing fps drops and I was just going to get a more recent version - well it's 404 now. Looks like I'm having to fly blindfolded in thick fog again now, which isn't exactly optimal. I just wish ED would do something about it so I didn't have to rely on mods in the first place.

And my confirmation of the ghosting post was in no way meant as a complaint----I have been enjoying your excellent work for a long time, Mustang. I assumed the more pronounced ghosting in recent tweaks was interaction between the mod and the weekly patches from ED. I'll clean out the shaders folders and retry when back at home.

Esac_mirmidon Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The ghosting is not Mustang´s mod fault. Is a DCS core fault over water. It can be reduced somewhat with less cloud reflections over water but is still there, specially if you zoom in and out the view very quick, but as i´ve said, is not Mustang´s mod fault " You must think in russian.."

manashttu Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 By the way, Mustang. You have given so much of your time and skill to DCS and the community---you certainly don't owe us any explanation or reconsideration. But, damn---your shaders work is too good. First mod I re-install after every ED update.

fagulha Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Mustang, I´m very grateful for your work, believe me. My first "simulator" was Ace in my Timex 2068 and in 1983 there was no files or mod community whatsoever, just 1 line in my screen simulating the horizon... so, i´m always grateful for others work to enrich my experience. We achieved a lot in all these years. And i´m sure everyone appreciate your outstanding work. Thank you, and keep up!

YSIAD_RIP Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 @Mustang: Given that Caucasus Terrain Textures have finally been updated with the last open beta patch, I will be surprised if your 2.7 Shader-Edits, or a version of them, is not included in Open Beta sooner rather than later. If the 2.7 Shader Updates can't be incorporated, I would want a technical explanation from ED, or any qualified developer, why this can't happen.
