Another graphics bug?

[Bek]

Hey,

 

Just looking through the screenshot thread I see that the Vihkr missile thrust does come from where you'd expect, unlike in my game.

 

 

Along with this I can only get heat blur working in some MP servers, and I'm not sure about rockets as I've never looked closely at a screenshot of them. Explosions seem to looker better in other people's screenshots too, could be nothing though.

 

I'm running DCS 1.01b on Windows XP 32bit, amd 5200x2, ATI 4870. I can provide more screenies if you want.

[-Painter-]

I have heat blurs only at my own heli in MP.

Somebody ever noticed heat blurs on the other pilots helis in MP? Were great to have...

[Bek]

Yeah, other people have heat blur. Just cant get in in SP. Are Vikhrs meant to look like that?

[STP Dragon]

The Vikhr have two propellants. One on the back end for the ejection out of the pipe and one on the side of the missile for the advance and the rotation. This one you can see on the picture.

Head blur, collectiv adjustment and tail-fin movement you only can see on your own Ka-50

[Bek]

Problem is, I can't see it on my Ka-50 in single player. It's enabled in the settings menu.

hm... I know a guy who can't see the names of the pilots in MP because of his low resolution. If he increase his resolution the names appear.

Try an other resolution. Maybe this is the same problem (?)

[Bek]

Would rather stick to native resolution, although maybe next time I have my PC out I can try it on my tv.

[Feuerfalke]

You monitor has a lower resolution than your TV!?

 

 

Please note, that you will only see heatblur when you are at certain speeds. The faster your fly the faster the heat from the engines is dispersed into the colder air.

[Bek]

lol, PC monitor is only a 19", 1440x900, TV is 40". I've never seen heat blur coming out of the engine exhausts in SP, only MP. Even when flying in snowy mountains. Also I was just in a MP game and DCS crashed, something about a C++ Error :( Oh well lol.

[EtherealN]

Heat blur has nothing to do with SP or MP. They use the same mechanism to render graphics.

 

Snowy mountains may be another thing, since it implies lower air pressure (altitude) and so on, which can have all kinds of effects. But basically - if you have heat blur active you should be able to see it through just hitting F2 and zooming on the exhausts.

 

If you truly only get the effect in MP and it doesn't render in SP, something extremely weird is going on since they both use the same routines.

 

Oh, and Freedom is made of win. Stick it to them Duty assholes. ;)
