Low detail building textures until very close

[Lixma 06]

Many building textures remain low detail until very close to the player.

Yup! Overall as people's systems gets better, we should be able to have a further draw distance.

There's LOD factor slider in DCS options / system tab.

Makes no difference - the 3D detail is fine, it's just the textures that pop in really close. And it's only this map.

Try the Marianas.

What about AF?

It's not AF.

Compare buildings 1 & 2 - building 1 is in the foreground and blurry; building 2 is further away yet fully resolved.

This is "Scenery Details Factor". Put it at maximum or 0.8 minimum.

LOD switch slider is for something else.

Scenery Details also blurs the textures when the scenery assets are reduced in quality.

If changing SDF value does't fix it.  Something in the map code is making this. Seems severely too close the LOD changes, indeed.

This seems regardless of system. It is not typical for DCS to do this at that close of range. Even in 2014. Looks like a bug if all gfx options are set correctly.

It's not Scenery Details, it's not AF, it's not texture settings or any of that. If it was I'd expect ALL textures to be blurry but that's not the case.

Watch these buildings in the video...

And as can be seen here different buildings are blurry seemingly regardless of distance from player.

Correct: it's something else, and I find it annoying too!
