[BERSERKER]

Hi to all, I need help with this.


For some time I have a problem, the shadows projecting by the smoke and dust, are pixels ,
and not as a solution.

This problem is particularly visible on the snow, but I do not know if I also happens in other landscapes.





I have a Nvidia 8800GT, and in the MODS folder y have instaled the "Aircraft crash smokes", "Damage MOD2", "Slipry MOD", and "Smokes effect MOD" .



Any idea why this happens?

Thanks in advance :wink:

try to set shadows=3 but its maybe a driver related issue because with shadows=2 you should get a solid, black shadow and what I see is even lower res than shadows=1 :roll:

what you can try is to test the new graphic dll's (backup current):
(The link is inoperative)
(5 different sets, start with latest and go backwards)

I have also thought that was because shadows=1, but with shadows=2 that should look normal, which is not the case.

That other case is maybe related with anisotropic filtering, can you maybe try different driver for your graphic card, or change settings in anisotropic filtering in drivers control panel?

btw I got a similar problem with some tree shadows but it goes away with forest=3, couldnt found a solution for that either other than using forest=3 :?

[BERSERKER]

Problem solved!!!


There was tested with all DLL, a thousand things change, and in the end, it was easier.


In the setup, the box was activated, "polygon stipple" ...

I've turned off, and problem solved.




Thank you for your interest Istv

I have a feeling that others will be looking for this answer as well..Thanks I had it checked to and was wondering about those tiny black patterns as well.. :wink:

[BERSERKER]

So this is a great community

[American]

Berserk have you ever thought about reinstalling Il2? Like just copy skin folder and a reset? As far as i see this isn't the first time you had a problem with il2. I did it 3 times with the mod. not because it stop working But update over update i think thing's tend to get screwed. (Not only that but i saw a speed increase on loading time) Just a suggestion...

[BERSERKER]

Hi American.

My installation is new, barely three months. And it works fairly well, except for minor problems like this.

Also I have had problems with MODs, install them incorrectly.

For the rest, I happy with his performance, and I do not ask to make a new installation.

Greetings
