MFD rendering tech question


Gamja Field

Recommended Posts

Will F-15E have the similar MFD rendering quality such as Hornet or Viper?

If you look at RAZBAM's last attempt to bring MFD in DCS(AV-8B), it's not a secret that it looks quite outdated compare to Hornet or Viper.

I run DCS at 1440p resolution, and I have zero issue reading texts on Hornet's DDI. No shimmering and sharp text.

In contrast, Harrier's MFD render quality is not as good, especially in higher resolution and VR. At default zoom level the text is blurry and you can clearly see black outlines when drawn over HSI map underlay. Not to mention the amount of shimmering and lack of anti-aliasing. 
And this issue is still under investigation AFAIK.

Now, I'm pretty sure that we're going to spend more time looking at those screens in F-15E..

I hope RAZBAM to deliver better end product... 🙂

I’m guessing you mean F-15E?

I have not experienced any of this

The last pic added show crystal clear LMFD in F-15E. For the sake of perfection, the clarity is too perfect for CRT tech from these days (if those are really good ol' CRTs) as pixel density should be far less IRL for Suite4 bird. In short, looks great.

In the same time, on same pic, I can't miss how textures of cockpit mesh feel low and jaggy, hopefully that was put there intentionally, not to spoil the final look&feel they keep for launch.

Don't worry, That is just the dev running the texture settings on low rather then high, probably for performance. Take a look at the previous screens and you can see the normal high resolution textures.

That is good for you.

Here's one for comparison. Both fully zoomed out btw. (I might be harsh on this one because Harrier's display and font is slightly smaller, but you get the idea.)

This time both at default zoom level, (I zoomed out Hornet a little bit to match the scale)

I’ll have to agree with you, the Harrier screen is more readable on the second set of screenshots
