PacFlyer23 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I'm relative still new to DCS and tweaking of various graphic settings. I've just started the A-10Cii Operation Persian Freedom Campaign and noticed the banding on the water near shore, I'm flying at 15K. My PC is an i5 12600K with a new Nvidia 4070-Super. Monitor is a Samsung G7 with a 165 Hz. With my settings I'm getting about an average 125 fbs. The only other thing I have is ReShade. So is this banding effect normal or are my settings causing it?

So is this banding effect normal or are my settings causing it? hello and welcome to DCS. there have been other posts about this. your screenshots are worst i have seen. no fix that i could find. so looking at your settings compared to mine. try turning off SSLR. also turn off upscaling. FYI i do upscaling at the driver level outside DCS. and maybe disable reshade as a possible cause.

PacFlyer23 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thanks for the tips. I will give them a try. I had tried looking for other posts, but I wasn't sure how to describe what to search for so I missed them.

PacFlyer23 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 So I turned all of four ReShade presets off, and deleted fxo and metashader2 files. Restarted my computer too. In game I turned SSLR to off and SSAO to on. No change to the water banding. i5-12600K @ 3.7GHz ¦ 32GB DDR4 RAM ¦ 12GB GeForce RTX 4070-Super ¦ Windows 11 Home ¦ 1TB NVME SSD ¦ Samsung 32” Odyssey Neo G7 4K 165 Hz Curved Monitor ¦ TM Warthog HOTAS ¦ TM Flight Rudder Pedals ¦ TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change to the water banding. i do not have many other ideas for you. how about a slow repair? turning off upscaling in DCS? maybe renaming CONFIG folder to CONFIG.bak as a test. when you rerun DCS the folder will be recreated. you can copy over the CONFIG.bak\INPUT folder to new CONFIG folder. where your controls are. unfortunately for testing sake, I do not have any of this banding.

PacFlyer23 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 So this may be a mission map specific issue. I just started a new mission in the Operation Persian Freedom Campaign and there's no banding in the water at the coast line. i5-12600K @ 3.7GHz ¦ 32GB DDR4 RAM ¦ 12GB GeForce RTX 4070-Super ¦ Windows 11 Home ¦ 1TB NVME SSD ¦ Samsung 32” Odyssey Neo G7 4K 165 Hz Curved Monitor ¦ TM Warthog HOTAS ¦ TM Flight Rudder Pedals ¦ TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czar66 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Does it happen with only one sharpening filter? Luma Sharpen and DCS native sharpen are active at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
