Help with LOD.....

[AeoNGriM]

In-flight sometimes when looking out of the window, parts of the terrain are just a featureless blur and seems to only gain definition when I approach it. Can anyone tell me how I can fx this? I have ModMan and was playing around with some of the graphics settings but haven't been able to sort it out :(

Open Graphics.cfg file (with Notepad or Wordpad or any other text editor) and looks for this section:

 

LandLodDistances

{

LandDay

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 40000;

}

LandNight

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 40000;

 

 

Your values will be different so you can experiement by increasing these values (ones above give very nice terrain texture detail at not so huge FPS hit... but it may do so on lower end systems (so experiment with different values)

Kuky, what you suggest as a starting point for a higher end system? Thanks

Tyvm, Kuky! Perfect settings for my system, might even be able to go a little higher :)

 

Cheers fella!

I use:

 

LandLodDistances

{

LandDay

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 50000;

}

LandNight

{

L01 = 30000;

L12 = 50000;

 

and my PC is 'old' compared to most other users on here, and it looks great.........SIM-MOD suggests L12 = 80000 for high spec PC's.

Working it upwards slowly, thanks Kuky.

I suggest anything between 20000/40000 to Mustang's 30000/50000. Anything higher and you really won't be able to tell the difference (visually)
