Flickering Textures on trees and buildings from Landing Gear Lights

[Kuky]

made a video of it, it's not the best quality but shows what happening

Aircraft is stationary, only my head is moving around a little (and iphone I was recording with)

 

 

My PC is in sig, graphics driver is Catalyst 12.11 beta 8

Any more info you need I can post

HDR is off by the way, anyone seen same thing on their end?

 

By the way I have to say ED have done quite an improvement in DCS World... love every improvement!

So not one person has seen this? I tested with clean 1.2.2.7570 version without any modification and even in single screen setup I can still see this bug.

Yep... Same here... I have seen it, but I don't care to much :p

 

Ps: Hey kuky I've seen that you also has a intel-ati system, and would like to know if you also noticed a big performance hit when I'm looking very close the bushes on the ground (it kills my fps) tks in advance!

yes I have seen this on daylight hours with the lights on.

ok, thanks for the replies, so this is really a bug even on normal 1 monitor setups... good to have it confirmed.

 

aaap_flanker, I have a good CPU and video card and I am not seeing that bad hit with bushes on. I use 400m distance in my settings, 2 possible reason's you see big hit is

 

Your video card is not top of the line so make sure you are don't use lot of AA in game settings (I find 4x to be enough, 8x really the most I would want to use) and in graphics driver make sure you are not using Super-sample AA as that kills it with lot of textures that have alpha channel to be see through in certain areas like bushes, trees etc.

 

So try 4xAA in game and in Catalyst use Adaptive Multi-sample AA at most and see if that makes noticeable difference

 

You can also do one simple tweak... use Notepad++ to edit DCS World/Bazar/Terrain/terrain.cfg.lua file... lines 83 and 87

 

increase squareSzie values from 20.0 and 10.0 to something like 50.0 and 20.0 respectively, that will make the grass little more spread out equally and will reduce amount of AA that has to be done on the grass textures as more of them will be further out from your viewpoint.

I've reported this issue for ED to solve also... fingers crossed it doesn't take too long (as I know it's a minor issue but still an annoying graphical anomaly)

[Cedaway]

Have you tried toggle HDR on/off?

Oh, may be thats the reason, I use super sample aa.... When I'm back I will try this setings with catalyst! Tks!!!
