1.1.0.7 Patch - Desert Ops

[Miro]

All works good, but districts visibility range has cutted by half. Tried with graphics.cfg but no results. When i choose maxed out settings i see almost desert. People got FPS gain, but do not see graphics downgrade. Someone got solution?

 

Kutaisi... Someone need Datalink? I suppose NOT...

[YoYo]

Agree too. The booster of FPS is fantastic but I need my trees and buildings (have good fps in 1.1.0.6 too, so no need this future ;) ). For CCIP mode isnt good if object is randered before our nose.

Sorry Miro I thought the settings you were looking for were in graphics.cfg. I'll ask the Devs what to adjust.

Thanks Alot Nate Can't wait :thumbup:

Same here I like the little performance boost but I dont like seeing cities grow from the ground with everything on high. Before I ran some on high and a scenes and view distance on medium and it looked better than High everything does after the patch. Now it feels like I'm flying in those areas off the mapped map if you know what i mean?

Thanks nate, I prefer to see the buildings like 1.6 too.

Any news? Polish Airforce Server Stopped, we can't hide tanks, also TGP and Working D-Link is now useless :helpsmilie:

Still waiting for a response.

 

Please explain this "TGP and Working D-Link is now useless"

Useless because now we got clear visual contact with armoured columns hidden in middle of cities, no buildings, but objects are clearly visible.

 

Hard to see it on screenshots, but when You flying using DL is not necessery. Overall flying experience is now degraded. Big Thanks to You for seeking solution even temporary, we greatly appreciates this.

Ahhh ok I thought something else was broken. Still waiting for a response.

Miro, You wanted Nevada... Now You have desert :thumbup:

[Mustang]

I've had a look inside this file:

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\terrain\High.lua

 

try modifying line 56 "farDistance = 10000.0;" to a higher value maybe?

 

edit: i think it works, heres a test set to 30000.0

Nice find Mustang, even a 20000 there is a notable improvement. FPS do take a slight hit though.

 

Nate

[xifu]

Mustang, great find. Thank you :thumbup:

[Nate--IRL--]

Just a note as I'm tinkering with it. If you set the distance out too far the Towns and buildings will appear to float on the terrain (you'll see this at high altitude). You can alleviate this be extending the Terrain noise texture out with it. To do this edit line 39 "noise1back = 20000.0;" to a higher value.

Good Job Mustang, Nate, ++ but must "spread some reputation"

No more Lybia in Georgia:thumbup: Thanks Guys:pilotfly:

 

[aceflier]

Can we maybe get this put on a slider like the trees and clutter?

[mtuckner]

Awesome guys. Very happy, and a slider would be phenomenal for this. Miro that pic looks gorgeous. What numbers did you settle in at and did you do the terrain noise also?

I've just had a few test flights, at first i had both values set to 30000.0, but i eventually had to drop them both down to 20000.0 due to heavy HDD thrashing and choppy FPS (faster machines than mine may fare better)

[Miro]

Someone got C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\terrain\High.lua from 1.1.0.6? I want see these settings, because now i try different combinations, but cities builds instantly. Example No City-> You move 10m forward and You see Complete City.

 

@ mtuckner

line 56: "farDistance = 30000.0;"

line 39 "noise1back = 80000.0;"

 

@ Mustang THX but i still must "Spread some..." don't know why:mad: But i will remember Your Great Job

 

EDIT:

Try this...

line 21 "townFarDistance = 45000.0;"

line 39 "noise1back = 80000.0;"

line 56 "farDistance = 25000.0;"

 

almost like 1.1.0.6

[mtuckner]

I can't test as I am studying while checking forums and what not, not till tonight, but does that edited setting create the desired city fade in effect?

[Troghv]

Good job Miro:thumbup:

I've Attached The "High.lua" from 1.1.0.6. Take a look. I hope you find a good solution. :smilewink:

Duplicated your settings Miro, wow looks sweet. Thanks.

[YoYo]

Any can add too from "old" medium ?
