Valium Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Hello. I've noticed an issue with blue shadowing at distance for flat objects. The only 2 things I see: - it doesn't matter what a kind of weather preset is set - when I turn 'shadows' off, it dissappears. Any idea how to cope with that?

Hawkeye60 Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 Wait till Wednesday for the new DCS patch. I hear they may have a fix for shadows, and lots more. 2 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

Hawkeye60 Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 I have seen these shadows caused by one texture or object touching another, causing a conflict. The same or different does not matter Move the objects apart a tiny bit so there is a gap between them 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

Valium Posted December 19, 2023 Author Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) As you can see, even single model makes this. There's only a model and texture on it, Edited December 19, 2023 by Valium Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
KrazyPilot Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Could also be possible it has to do with the Reflection of the material (object) as well even? Ive seen similar mods have somewhat blue shadowing or reflections off of them in the past.. 1 Rig Specs: 34" 3440x1440 Monitor - CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D - GPU: XFX RX 7900 XT Speedster MERC 310 - MOBO: GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX - SSD: WD BLACK SN-850X 2TB + SN-770 2TB - RAM: 6000Mhz 64GB
Hawkeye60 Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Reversed normal's in the model. Had a similar issue. Currwnthill explained to me about how to switch them from from back to front. Done in Max. Using a tool. Do not remember at present the work flow, or tool. Worth a look/try. Ask Him. how to do this. He is always willing to help. I remember you must not select two sided texture to do the edit. 2 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

crazyeddie Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 I thought this was an issue with the thickness of the edm and uneven ground, if its really thin and there is even the slightest uneven bit of ground underneath it then this happens, if you make it a little bit thicker this problem goes away. It's worth a try I would say. 1
currenthill Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 For anyone interested and for future reference. I did some testing and found that the issue occurs when an object is placed very close to the DCS ground, the proximity of the two surfaces will create the strange effect mentioned in this thread. I found that the issue can be fixed by unchecking the 'Shadow caster' in the material settings before exporting. 2 1 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!
