hannibal Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 all im going to say is WOW.. cause everytime i see the cockpits in ARMA, just this feature alone really makes it feel like your in a cockpit.. looking forward to it ED ! :) find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Focha Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 It's a good feature. Hope it's easy on the FPS, if it's not, please make it optional as I am sure you will if this is the case. Also, and sorry for asking, are there any plans to make rain effects in the canopy? That would also be great, since the rubber on the Ka-50 wipers are cracking already... :P EDIT: I forgot to ask if this is going to appear in Ka-50? 1 ASUS N552VX | i7-6700HQ @ 2.59GHz | 16 GB DDR3 | NVIDIA GF GTX 950M 4 Gb | 250 Gb SSD | 1 Tb HD SATA II Backup | TIR4 | Microsoft S.

BTTW-DratsaB Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 freakin' awesome news! This will add a lot to the immersion factor. I too wonder about what the performance impact will be.

Lixma 06 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Looks great. As mentioned, in-cockpit shadows are a huge immersion booster. Just a suggestion to ED, though; can in-cockpit shadows be a separate option rather than tied into the L/M/H Shadows menu? I'd hate to have to run Shadows at High (or Xtra-High) just to get the benefit.
Steel Jaw Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Ya... Self shadowing in FSX brings even my machine to its knees with everything cranked up. Of course, FSX is quite possibly the least resource-efficient 3D engine I have ever seen, so I don't know where the benchmark goes, precisely. :dunno: FSX rendering is utter garbage.

ZQuickSilverZ Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Mower I swear everytime someone brings up FSX you trash it. FSX is not a flight simulator, it is an operations and procedures simulator and it does it's job well. I happen to think it looks great even at med settings. Back on topic...... this mod sounds fantastic. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

I'd hate to have to run Shadows at High (or Xtra-High) just to get the benefit. +1 That way anyone who's worried about the performance hit can just turn the option off. I agree though, it will be a huge immersion booster; I can see myself spending more time looking inside the cockpit than outside!

Mogster Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 As others have said ROF does this and it looks fantastic, I bet the effect is way better in motion than it shows in those sreenies. With a decent gfx card it doesn't seem to be too much of a system hog in ROF, hopefully the same in DCS.
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted March 19, 2011 ED Team Posted March 19, 2011 I know i crashed a number of times, when i kept looking straight down while doing barrel rolls, just to see the shadows in motion. It really looks amazing :D https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page

Thorvald Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Goof grief, am I the only one that doesn't want these eye candy features... At least not yet... How about fixing the known bugs first???? Then add the extra major functions for exporting to keep the Helios & pit builder types happy (export radio displays, CDU display, counter measure displays, etc). Then go add the eye candy like pilots and shadows etc. I'm dying for the day I can click outside the main window and not have my apu shut off or random switches turn off!
