HR-Crumble Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 Hi all, Have noticed since the most recent update inconsistent or not working at all - no dust storm effects are working. Have tried 3 different desert maps - with cloud and without loud. Set dust to 984ft viz and 23000ft viz and the max 65000ft viz. No dust storm effects no show in game. No mods, no scripts. Fresh miz. No other weather. Anyone else?

K-dot-B Posted February 6 Posted February 6 For the life of me I can't get the dust storm to appear. I tried adjusting the dust slider, tried various maps, dates, weather conditions, ran a slow repair, nothing works. Is it tied to some graphics setting maybe? I was looking forward to using the effect, but it's a big disappointment so far.

It's weird, I do see the dust in your track. I also converted it to a mission file and I even see it when I launch that. However, when I create a new mission (or modify an old one) I never get any dust. Here's a test mission that I made. It's empty, literally just enabled the dust tickbox, yet I can't see any of it: dust_but_not.miz
Bob1943 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 You are setting the vertical dust thickness (feet) so that it extends above the altitude of the location that you are at, right? The dust thickness is referenced to sea level.

After DCS restart dust storm is working again, I can turn it on for any older mission but your miz is broken somehow.

Well, thanks for looking into it, at least now I know its most likely a local issue. Since then I opened the mission file itself and there are some suspicious lines in it (names of seasons defined in multiple languages scattered in random places, weird), so maybe there's something deeply messed up with my game. I generally avoid mods for this reason, I only have SRS and The Way installed. Looks like major troubleshooting time for me

Nealius Posted February 27 Posted February 27 We sorely need a thickness/height option to create dust storms at higher elevations. 2
