SirJ Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) I love those new clouds!! Two things I discovered which I have not seen mentioned before (Syria Map): 1. Overcast and Rain 3: (not seen in any other overcast and Rain preset) In any other than ULTRA-Clouds setting the higher cloud appear in a strange pattern. In pic01_* you can see it. The ULTRA-Setting looks like the middle part of the clouds - no repetitive and strangely angled pattern. The position of those pattern is identical in every nonULTRA setting. 2. Box of detailed Clouds around the plane: It looks like there is a box around the plane in which higher detailed clouds are rendered. The edge seems to stick to the plane. This is way more promenent in motion than on pictures - thus highlighted by the red lining. (pic02* - pic04*) This is present in all Cloud settings, just barely visible in ULTRA, promenent in the other. Until now found in all Overcast and Rain presets. Not tested in the other presets. But again - those clouds are awesome!! All the best f16_cloud_bug.trk Edited April 15, 2021 by SirJ added trk-file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiffy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks just saw this today after the update. Really pronounced when viewing dogfights or target lock view externally. You can see the rectangular box in all the strange clipped edges on the clouds, matched to the aircraft/camera center point. So much so you can see gaps in the clouds with sky showing through. I'll grab a screenshot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] It's perfectly ordinary banter Squiffy, "Bally Jerry, pranged his kite, right in the 'how's your father.'" - Monty Python, RAF Banter Sketch.

Squiffy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Maybe this is a different issue but here is what I see. I'll check my settings too.

Squiffy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Another in cockpit view. Got a game crash on loading the viewing track afterward in game. Error report sent via DCS.

jetsimace Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I also having patterns in distant clouds (horizontal lines) in DCS OpenBeta 2.7.1.6430 - please see attached screenshot (gives an idea but in reality it looks worse) My resolution is 3440 x 1440 Edited May 22, 2021 by jetsimace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I think we all have these patterns. It's how 2.7 clouds are done so far. Next time it happens, attach the track so we can see if we all get the same result. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Aluminum Donkey Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 It isn't really a bug, it's how she goes. I'm fine with it as long as they fix the clunky looking clouds near the center of the HUD. It's really noticeable when you roll a bit. They're still a massive improvement over the old clouds!

Squiffy Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 But you know, the notes don't really address the "skybox" issue and edge dithering, not on the horizon, not VR. Maybe these points were meant to be more broad? Known Issues Users may see some vertical ‘jittering’ when looking at distant clouds - This is more visible in VR and we are working to resolve it as a priority. There are Anti-aliasing artefacts visible under some conditions when clouds are low on the horizon. The lighting effects on the clouds, especially when the sun is low on the horizon is still very much a WIP, and will be improved. Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI. The legacy fog effects are not suitable for use with the new clouds - a new fog layer using the new technology will follow. Thunderstorms and lightning effects will follow in future updates. Using SLAM/AGM-65E alongside targeting pod can in some circumstances result in some ground units becoming semi-transparent to the targeting pod. This is currently a priority item to resolve. We have greatly improved many of the visual effects, and some tuning of brightness still remains to be completed. Night vision goggles do not provide sufficient illumination with no moonlight. Dedicated server window can hang when minimised. MP. Ping info missing (always zero) in player's list.
