Increasing view distance? (Or sharpening the render of distant aircraft)

[Ace_Pilto]

Is this possible?

 

I know it is now possible to increase the amount of high detail world rendered by the engine in game but the rendering of distant aircraft still seems a little weak for me. (You can't see distant contacts at proper ranges of over 5km, 10 to 15km should be possible at least) 

 

The current implementation makes life very difficult when setting up attacks and deciding on tactics in full real MP battles, especially in aircraft like the 190. Distant contacts are just invisible outside 5km which I suppose is due to low res blurring since they must be rendered right?

 

If there is a workaround for this I would really appreciate some info.

Last time I checked, the rendering distance for aircraft is around 9,5km and you can't change that.

For me it's hard to distinguish planes against sky (looking from below) i compare it to ROF where planes at same height and drowing distances are more visible against sky - it's looks like ROF sky has more resolution without bad looking color transition aka BOS have and ROF planes are darker. Drowing distances are the same in ROF and BOS (10k).

Yes, it's very easy lose someone in the blue. But as compared to ROF, I think the planes are easier to spot in BOS (exception with the blue sky).

Easier to spot in front of ground - yes mostly becouse of snow. But w8 for summer maps...

I was told in the game chat that the devs have allowed the info to be increased manually in the game files and said I would be able to find it on the forums, I haven't been able to find anything about this. Anyone know anything about the devs enabling the editing of the draw distance lately?

not exactly the same, but likely what you're looking for:

Thanks Supersqwack,

 

I have been using ReShade Assistant for a while since the game has been 64bit, before that I was using FlightFX. Re-shade is much better as you can use the in game AA and are not forced to use your GPU driver software for AA.

 

Thanks anyway.
