Eight Ball Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I mean, I know there're still there but you have to be ridiculously close to the crew to enjoy them. Even just sitting on the cat is too far to see the highest LODS. I understand the need for optimization but this is a really weird decision. AFAIK there isnt a single other unit in DCS that suffer from such a drastic lods reduction. It's also curious you've decided to nuke the deck crew lods, which are right under our nose, but the seamen one's which sits in the bubble or the island remain unchanged How it used to be: How it is now: Edited February 25, 2021 by Eight Ball 5 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)
Stratos Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Agree I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Canada_Moose Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Agreed. A lot of the attraction of the SC is the nice looking and functioning deck crew. Optimization is important but surely there are other fish to fry?
Cocker Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Agreed! Maybe this could be setup as an option? 1
statrekmike Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Considering that the LOD's being what they currently are probably allows the SC to actually be playable for those with mid-tier systems and below, I think this is a pretty acceptable compromise. Heck, the SC could still use some pretty aggressive optimization even now.
Northstar98 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 +1, it's better for there to be an option in the settings, that way people with systems that aren't as beefy (like me) can dial it down to get good performance, and those with higher specifications can crank it up. I hope DCS also does this for clouds and weather, just to be on the safe side. 3 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Nealius Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Agreed. I suppose they nuked the LODs to mitigate the performance issues on the carrier, but the performance issues are due to shadows. Most of DCS's performance issues are down to shadows, from what I experience. Always a CPU bottleneck from the shadows despite plenty of overhead on my GPU. 3
