Runway appearance distorted

[Zoltar]

Hello All,

 

I have re-installed my LOFC and put the graphics setting to "High" just to check how much Frame Rate i am getting. After that i reset it back to "Medium" accepting the defaults put by LO. Now whenever i approach the runway during my FAF, i don't see the familiar white runway strip with center line and tyre marks. All i see is a white strip...well i can still land on it :music_whistling:..its just i don't understand what went wrong. Please help

A screen shot would help. You could try installing the great mod, "Lockon Reloaded" to get new airport textures. They're better than the default anyway. Get it at Lockonfiles.com

 

Good luck

I have attached the screenshots. The first one is my over all graphic configuration. The second one is to denote there is some issue with my resolution, you can see the distorted contours, the third one is about a white line appearing at the edge of land and water and fourth is the way runway looks. I think there is a bigger problem here.

Open graphics.cfg and look for these lines (values will be different/lower for you I believe) so set them up a bit.

 

LandLodDistances

{

LandDay

{

L01 = 20000;

L12 = 40000;

}

LandNight

{

L01 = 20000;

L12 = 40000;

[Zoltar]

These are my values..but still problem persists

 

LandLodDistances

{

LandDay

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 40000;

}

LandNight

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 40000;

}

 

My system specs are

 

CPU Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33 GH, NVidia 8600 GT and 2 GB RAM @ 800 MHz with Samsung 19" LCD.

Looks like a possible AA and AF issue. Have you enabled these at all? It's not possible to enable them in the Lock On options, but you can do it through the Nvidia settings profiles, in the Nvidia control panel.

[Zoltar]

I have put the AA and AF settings as application controlled in the NVidia control panel.

[RvEYoda]

go Af 4x and see what happens

[104th_Crunch]

I have put the AA and AF settings as application controlled in the NVidia control panel.

 

Setting it to application controlled will have no effect in Lockon since Lockon does not offer these options in the game application itself. Set your AA and AF in your Nvidia software either as a profile for Lockon

specifically or set it globally.

For white lines around water try the coastline mod by Teka Teka...

i once had a problem when experimenting with different settings.

i lost all the trees and couldnt get them back. i lost a lot of time searching for the solution and had to reinstall after all.

my advice to you is to save your self some time and make a fresh install.

A quick shot in the dark since i'm no nVidia user, but to me maybe that has something to do with mipmap quality settings in Direct3D? maybe set too low?

yeah that could be it, or even texture quality setting in graphics driver

So you are suggesting a driver update from NVidia? Where are these settings about the drivers can be looked at?

[slug88]

Try setting haze to advanced, rather than basic. I had the same problem and this fixed it.

[Zoltar]

Thanks all of you for your help. The NVidia driver updates along with a LO re-install solved the issue. I am all set :pilotfly:
