oho Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I really like the game except the "ugly" cockpit-textures compared to the modded cockpits of Black Shark or Lockon FC. How is this possible? Is anyone working on the cockpit of A10?

oho Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 I've set the textures to high and when I fly fc2 SU25 or Black Shark I see much crispier modded cockpits, so it's not the graphic card.
EtherealN Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 You are speaking *insert language I do not understand*. DCS A-10C cockpit ugly? You'll have to be specific about that. What exactly is ugly and why is there quote-marks on that word that you haven't explained? ;) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Mnemonic Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Actually DCS A-10C have higher resolution and crisper textures than DCS Ka-50, and incomparable better than LockOn, so probably you have something wrong with your graphics settings. Is this ugly?

skouras Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 i understand what is the point mate... yes indeed it would be great if someone will make a mod more shine for the A10c [im sure that someone will work on this] but the A10 have a very beautiful pit compare to the other sims with no mods [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]W10(64bit)Asus Rog Strix Z370-F - i7 8700K - Dark Rock Pro 4 - 16 giga ram Corsair vengeance 3000 - MSI RTX 2070 Super - Asus Rog Phobeus soundcard - Z906 Surround speaker - Track ir5 - HOTAS Warthog
oho Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Hi all, I cranked up aniso to max, everything else to max and as I said the textures are not as crisp as they are in the modded cockpits of bs and fc2. The " in "ugly" mean, that it's relatively to the absolute top level of this sim, only the cockpits are falling behind a bit. I play on 27'' and 1980x1050 and one can see the pixels when zooming in a bit. This can be modded like in Bs too I hope - so that was my question.

The key word in your post being MODDED cockpits from lockon. Textures are significantly better than lockon or black shark for all of us. Looks like the problem is on your end somewhere.

oho Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) "I'm guessing that is a TV screen? I can almost see your pixels from here!" Oh! So the mods of BS and FC2 somehow transform the screen into a better one without changing any options in the video card? ;-) I have a Geforce 260 GTX. I don't think it's a video card issue. Or can someone with the Cockpit Mods installed confirm, that the Textures are as crisp as the modded ones? Edited February 27, 2011 by oho

Distiler Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 As Viper said, force quality or high quality texturing in graphics card. It workd for Ka-50 so I guess it will work for A-10c. AMD Ryzen 1400 // 16 GB DDR4 2933Mhz // Nvidia 1060 6GB // W10 64bit // Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2
oho Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 I forced high quality textures in the nvidia settings and still there is this difference between the modded BS/FC2 (SU25!) cockpit and A-10C. I can't find mipmap in the options, only textures quality.

I can't find mipmap in the options, only textures quality. You sure have settings forced forced? seen the differences when changing texture quality? if not, create a profile pointing to dcs.exe (for a-10c, I think) or simulator.exe (ka-50). oh btw, if you're using Ricardo's mod then yes you'll see a difference regardless, because that mod goes beyond anything in terms of texture quality.

EtherealN Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah, that mod is just insane for detail levels. The secret there is "high detail and vRAM be damned". Sadly, oho, software developers have to keep the general public in mind. :P Anyone can make "the pixels" disappear through just doubling the texture resolution. The issue is - that doesn't double the vRAM usage. It quadruples it. ;) That's what mods are about, in the end. They're there for people who don't care about rediculous vRAM usage just to get some eyecandy. All of that said: the A-10C pit textures are absolutely awesomely beautiful, imo. Ricardo does some great stuff, but this is way over that.

oho Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 it's not ugly you're right. Ricardos cockpit is just what I got used to. So i will wait and see.
