flameoutme Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Is there a way to shut off trees 100%? I found some old materials about (editing a lua file) that but also found another post saying it was no longer possible due to collision mechanics. I tried the lua method and indeed it don't seem to work. I just find trees popping up so immersion killing, I'd rather not have them at all. Anyone successful at removing the visual of the trees? I don't care if collision has to stay in place with invisible trees.

flameoutme Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua: ["forestDistanceFactor"] = 0, Mustang - THANK YOU SO MUCH. The "Immersion Factor" for me just went up 20 "points". Every one of those pop up trees was like a giant billboard with red flashing letters screaming "not real not real not real.. " ... etc etc. Now, thanks to your suggestion, when I take off the atmosphere is saying "this is real! Be careful... this is real..." etc etc . :) Strangely, although according to steam I am running open beta, it wasn't until I changed the options.lua in my regular saved games DCS folder that this took hold. When it did, I could see in normal dcs preferences 0% for trees and by golly, that's what it was. Thank you thank you thank you. Edited August 27, 2020 by flameoutme
