flag02004 Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Hi @unmar I don't know if it may works, but you can try to modify the option.lua file in your "X:\users\"your name"\saved games\DCS\config" folder. this line below represent the slider in the graphical option in DCS: ["clutterMaxDistance"] = 1500, try to increase this number and check in DCS if it works.... 1
TFS Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Clutter/Grass: Adjustable from 0-1500... this adjusts the grass and bushes... so if you are looking to extend past the max in game settings, than try what flag02004 is suggesting. If you are simply asking if there is a setting that adjusts this value at all... then it is called "clutter/grass" in the settings.
Mustang Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Editing the clutter does nothing beyond 1500m render distance, unless someone else can figure it out. 2
MadKreator Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Wouldn’t this be great to figure out! Although I would venture to guess that the limitation is “hard coded”, for lack of a better term, in dcs. Such as ( maybe linked to) the LOD tables for scenery. It would be awesome to increase that distance, without making the grass taller at the same time. Also to be able to adjust the distance for the baked in shrubbery, rocks et 1 Intel i7 13700k, ASUS rog strix z790A, 64gigs G.Skill Trident DDR5 @6400Mhz, Nvidia RTX 4080FE, 4TB, 2x 2TB, 1TB Samsung NVME, 1TB Samsung SSD, Corsair RM1000x, Corsair Titan 360 X AIO cooler, Lian Li LanCool 2, VKB Gunfighter Ultimate, VKB Custom STECS , MFG Crosswinds, Moza FFB, Virpil Collective, Track IR5, 48” LG UltraGear OLED & HP 24” touchscreen for Helios,49” Samsung Ultrawide, Streamdeck XL, Corsair Virtuoso RGB Headphones
hughesj2 Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 Would be great if this could be sorted by adding a slider or even a configuration file override so people can increase it and balance with their system performance (or not if it doesn't bother them) it's the single biggest immersion killer for me flying helicopters. Makes the highly detailed new maps look poor when there's a visible circle of rocks, bushes etc popping in at what feels like 100 metres. Cheers James 6
LittleNose Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 Is there a method to switch them off completely. It seems that "[“clutterMaxDistance”] = -150000" no longer works for me. 1
swartbyron Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 If I recall correctly the grass clutter distance used to be able to be adjusted in a file called grass.hsl but has since been locked away? The entry's in grass.fx or grass.lua seem to only reference blade size and changing any of these seems to have no effect from what I've been able to tell. 2
LittleNose Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 I wonder why ED take these options off us? I can only guess they want us all to see the tech they introduced with the helicopter rotor cauing the grass to blow about 1
oOxmOo Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Especially when you're in a helicopter it's so annoying, looks really bad and ruins the immersion with all the bushes and rocks constantly popping up a few meters away. It's been an issue for a while now that should finally be fixed and it should be a pretty easy one to do for ED! 3

And i have headroom to increase the distance just lacking the option do do so. 1 About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces.
