dureiken Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Hi guys is there a mod to use cockpit shadow without having ground shadows which are very consuming ? Thanks a lot
speed-of-heat Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Quote Shadows for Immersion and Performance Everyone loves shadows, but as we saw in test 6 they can have a pretty meaty performance impact between Low and High, but Low doesnt look very nice... I have focused on removing the majority of shadows except those in the cockpit and the shadow of your aircraft in flight that requires two separate MODS: Frametime in ms Delta From Previous Test Baseline GPU CPU GPU CPU Changes 22 Test 20 12.35 7.85 Clear Water 24 Test 22 11.12 7.81 1.23 0.04 80% SSS 25 Test 22 10.88 7.35 0.24 0.46 Shadows Reduced Frame Rate Impact.zip866 B · 831 downloads 26 Test 22 10.70 7.39 0.18 -0.04 Flat Shadow Removal MOD Shadows for Reduced Frame Rate Impact, is a another MOD from Kegteys, that I have fiddled with to give me medium shadows inside the cockpit, which gives a nice effect and The Flat Shadow Removal MOD (does exactly what it says on the tin) turns shadows off for virtually everything else, from @Mustang (setting terrain shadows to off and Cockpit shadows to medium has a similar effect) combined they save about 0.4ms on CPU and GPU time. At this point we have exceeded the performance of the VR Preset, with better visual acuity and visual immersion.
