Please, bring back the higher LODS for the deck crew

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

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.

+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.

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.
