hene- Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Hi! Im pretty noobie on this game (flaming cliffs), but with best graphics the game looks shitty :( Here is url for screenshot, it is resized 1600x1050 to 1024x640. http://hene.daug.net/test/ScreenShot_005.jpg I have seen screenshots of this game with very nice graphics. Do I need some mod or what? Or am I just confused and that is realy OK graph? I have ModMan installed.
Sawamura Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Hi hene, did you checked the grapic options in Lock On? Set Textures, visibility and stuff to high. It should look better, then.

Aye - No offence intended, but that is pretty poor :cry: Post your system specs......would be a good indication as to how far you can tweak - having said that, with today's processors you can pretty much dolly it up to the max without breaking a sweat.

RedTiger Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 It looks like you're just flying over a part of the terrain thats flat and uninteresting. Installing the LOReloaded textures and some better skins for the planes goes a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way. :pilotfly: http://www.lockonfiles.com <- your new friend. :)
hene- Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I have clicked "high" on Lock On graphics menu and it still looks like this: http://hene.daug.net/test/ScreenShot_000.jpg My computer specs: - Intel Core2 E6550 @ 2,33Ghz - ABIT IP35-E - Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB - 2 gb of RAM - 22" Widescreen 1680x1050 What mod I should install first?

This's mine, really cool :smilewink: Nearly all options are highest except Water (High) Battleship: Flyable Planes:
Majesco Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) The mod you should install first is Enhanced Terrain for FC (made by Ruggbutt), ect.... / Note: you may not enable all shadow for objects with Dx10 card such as 8800GTS. Im running a Dx9C video card Edited October 7, 2008 by Majesco
hene- Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 I installed Terrain Enhanced for Flaming Cliffs made by Ruggbutt, and ModMan shows yellow color on it. Why?
Majesco Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 No problem ! Ruggbutt wrote that in his comment for the mod on Lockonfiles The Enhanced Terrain (in yellow color in Modman) still works fine
DTWD Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Isn't there two terrain mods? One just mods the summer textures and another finishes it off with the other 3 seasons...I am at work so I can't go looking in my modman atm. You also want the tree visability mod. In fact if you look in here you will see an entire post of pretty much the best mods: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=28186 Regards Paul Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hene- Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks for that. I should download best mods. Now I have second problem, I updated my nvidia drivers, and clouds looks like this: http://hene.daug.net/test/ScreenShot_001.jpg And here is Graphics settings in ModMan: http://hene.daug.net/test/modmangraphics.jpg
Majesco Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Oh, Full Shadow, full shadow !! :D lower this setting to All Planar, your problem will be fixed Shadow setting at Full level works fine with ATI video cards with Dx 9C supported some Forceware drivers for Nvidia DX 9C cards make it looks like your pic / Cloud bug is VGA driver issue also, i think so Edited October 7, 2008 by Majesco
hene- Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Yep, full shadows ;) I set it to All Planar, but it didnt help. So.. What nvidia drivers I should have? EDIT: Installed nvidia drivers 169 and clouds works perfect! Edited October 7, 2008 by hene-
RobGordon Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hi! The screenshots look like you have AntiAliasing turned off on your video card. Try turning it on and select Quality Mode. That way you get clean and sharp graphics! I'm always fascinated by how good the LOMAC graphics can look with proper setup (and HW of course). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BTTW-DratsaB Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Force Anisotropic Filtering in the graphics driver control panel to x16. This will make all textures sharper and more "grainy". Ground terrian looks much better with it. PS there is absolutely no preformance loss from this. Specs: GA-Z87X-UD3H, i7-4770k, 16GB, RTX2060, SB AE-5, 750watt Corsair PSU, X52, Track IR4, Win10x64. Sim Settings: Textures: ? | Scenes: ? |Water: ? | Visibility Range: ? | Heat Blur: ? | Shadows: ? | Res: 1680x1050 | Aspect: 16:10 | Monitors: 1 Screen | MSAA: ? | Tree Visibility: ? | Vsync: On | Mirrors: ? | Civ Traffic: High | Res Of Cockpit Disp: 512 | Clutter: ? | Fullscreen: On
DTWD Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 What on earth are you smoking? No need for anything over 4x, and I think 16x will make a difference to the FPS, but it does depend on your graphics card. Regards Paul Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
aaron886 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hi Hene, it looks like your shadows are set to Full Planar, but your card will not support it, like mine. Try setting them to Active planar.
