Dust lifted from the groung

[Akenar-99]

Hello,

I am not sure about being on the correct forum, But I have a question.

There is abotoutly no dust lifted from the ground when I fly low whith the AH64 or the Ka50.

Is there any option to switch on ? I search but I don't find any.

Thanks a lot.

There is no option. It shows up automatically if you fly low enough.

Are you trying it in the Mutlithreaded version? If yes, try the singlethread one. MT seems to have caused a lot of issues with the particle system currently.

I use MT version, and it doesn't work at all, whatever the hight over the ground and the surface type.

I will try back the ST.

Thank you ! I hope this issue will be fixed soon.

Nothing changes in SingleThread...

I can hover at 3ft in the desert without lifting any dust

One thing that's always bothered me is the lack of any surface disturbance from any aircraft flying low over any terrain or water, in game. 

I feel like perhaps this was an oversight that was simply never 'big' enough of a gameplay disturbance, to fix.  It's purely cosmetic, so it never made the register, so to speak.

The effects were present before the MT update. The MT update broughts many bugs with it regarding particles in the game, some of which are not fixed yet.

I honestly couldn't tell you that I saw them pre-MT update though.  That was an impression I had early on from flying in this game, and maybe my system was bugged before, but I never recall seeing ground disturbance from flying low.

It was definitly a thing. You just had to fly low enough.

It’s been a thing, since the Flaming Cliffs 1.x days if not before.
