VR texture LOD distance; syria bug or DCS?

[FoxTwo]

TL;DR

 

Ground and building textures in syria in VR have a very, very short distance LOD? I think. I'm not sure but even at > 30m altitude, the roads are just a blurry mess, and buildings at more than a few hundred yards look worse than buildings in SU-27 Flanker.

 

Road example:

Hi foxtwo

 

can you take a screenshot of your dcs settings page

 

thanks

The Marianas isn't great either.  Small sail boats pop up out of nowhere just before you get to them.

I'm noticing the same problem with roads/etc in Marianas as well, seems to be a systemic DCS texture LOD range issue.

I think your problem is in the gpu settings not in the game settings.

 

Try to post your nvidia control panel settings and I´ll try to help you

I don't think so. But thank you for the offer.

 

The problem is DCS is being super aggressive with texture LOD distance.

[FoxTwo]

Any thoughts about this?

 

I'm really not seeing the same effect in PG or the Caucasus. Haven't checked NTTR. But it's definitely a super noticeable problem in Syria and the Marianas.

I've seen this artifact flying into Nellis on the NTTR map.

Same problems here, ships will pop out of nowhere, definitely a lod issue 

[Scaley]

I'm getting this on Mariana, Syria and now NTTR as well.  Mainly it's trees for me, but the rendering distance for tree with everything set to maximum is about 4nm, which is WAY less than it used to be.

Bumping this topic. I have the same problem, and since I basically moved to ground hugging it's becoming slightly annoying. I can't for the life of me figure out which setting is causing this low LOD, even when cranking up all settings to high and having almost a slideshow, the low LOD persists. Mods make no difference, Nvidia settings make no difference.

Anyone already figured out how to solve this?

I've noticed that since the last Syria map update the building LODs are much better but only if you run high terrain textures, I see very little pop in with building textures 500 foot over Beruit now
