Graphics, models and maps

[Spook109]

So recently I'm seeing that airfields have buildings and runways floating on a layer that's about 20m above the ground - in the air! Railroad tracks and canals are sometimes floating in the air too. I'm encountering this on the Moscow, Rheinland, and Kuban maps.

 

Anyone have a fix?

@I_Shoot_Birds, the mission editor is not running at the same time as the game? mods on?

[Spook109]

Here's some more detail:

 

• Mission editor is not running
• Stock skins and mods off
• Occurs no matter which aircraft is being flown
• Occurs on multiple maps
• I'm using a display and Track IR
• Have not tried to recreate in VR yet

Thanks for your help!

@I_Shoot_Birds, if such a disaster happens again, please record a short track.

I’ve seen this happen twice today on two separate PCs, both running latest IL2 on Kuban Summer map. Using VR.

 

On one PC I was able to make this “go away” somehow when I was changing graphics presets. Maybe changing to or from Balanced fixed it? Not really sure. But on the other PC the problem remains.

 

I can’t make a video right now but you can take my word for it that the buildings are all floating about 30 feet above the visible ground, but the ground collision mesh is invisible. Ie if I fly into what the buildings appear to be floating on, I explode. Also, I hit invisible trees on that invisible layer.

Brief description:    Double layer clouds - higher layer do not cast shadow on lower layer. 
Detailed description, conditions:  Because there is no shadow projected on lower clouds layer, when you look from below clouds  look as they are at the same height which is not true and missliding - no 3D effect. I propose add this effect as gfx option or default on ultra option.

  I Agree. The reason for this is the cloud density and the shadow setting in the sky.ini files are set to lightly. The sun is passing through the clouds a bit too much, you can see this when looking through them. Sometimes they only block the sun out In a small section of the cloud. 
  I have found out all this while making a cloud mod. I think that the files do need some TLC one of these days. It would be fairly easy to do. 
 

  Here’s an example of having denser clouds with more shadow

So far, the question of such a detailed study of two-layer clouds has not been raised.

Still no rain drops effect on reargunner's canopy in Ju88.

 

It's pure aesthetics ofc but my tolerance for such oversights went south even more than usual with a release of CP2077.

I know most ppl doesn't give a F about small details like that. Small details that are fundamental in creating The Great Things. But i still love that effect as much as i love canopy scratches in DCS. It gives you that great feeling of sitting in closed space of cockpit, you know? And Il2 does this in a way i couldnt even dream of before. You're doing a great job.

 

Highest possible settings, Ryzen 7, RTX2070, up to date and so on. On pictures quick mission, overcast. etc. etc

 

Would you be so kind...?

Hi,

first, thanks for your time!

 

Brief description:

As you can see at my pictures, I got this bad graphic issues. I got this issues for about 2 weeks now. The issue doesn´t came from the gpu, because I already tested a second one and it got the same issue.  I also tested all the graphic settings to solve this problem, but only  FXAA makes a little difference. With FXAA the issue is a bit smaller.

Detailed description, conditions:

First everything looks fine and after less then a minute the clouds, sky and horizon changes with glimmer, flicker and waves.

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit 18363, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 32 RAM, RTX 2070 Super - Samsung 2560 x 1440 (32bit) (144hz)

 

Maybe someone of you solved that problem. Thanks in advance!

Same here. Before on a I7 7700k and 1080ti with O+ VR

 

Still have it with a 10700k 3080 and HPG2  VR.  Really weird. I thought at first it was the lens in the headset. But the ripples don't move when I move my head around.

[-DED-Rapidus]

@CDRSEABEE, @parasxosg, this is not a problem, this is how the render works. I understand your desire to do without ripples and streaks of clouds, unfortunately nothing has yet changed in this matter.

[SantiagoDeWarsaw]

It's me again with raindrops. You can count on me.

As soon as the mentioned mod is selected, there are no reflections in the side windows at all. I have tried it with different mods, but only with the " Sturmjäger " modification it occurs for me. Attached is a photo for clarification.  By the way, my instrument and cockpit reflections are set "high".

Thank you, yes, I see this as well. It's been reported in the beta testing section.

@71st_AH_Dawghous, @BlacksheepTurk123sky, Steam version or simple?

Kuban Map: Kerch, 0608. Small fix?

[Spaz-505]

I have identified a similar problem on the Velikie Luki map.  Some of the objects are floating above the terrain.  Also, I've placed some train objects on the scenery, when I go into the game, they are no located on the same spot.  When making them move, they will only go a short distance and then stop for no apparent reason.  This appears to be associated with the tracks merging and separating.

 

To re-create:

1. Start with new mission

2. Bring in Velikie Luki scenery

3. Import Vluki_ALL_AF_TAXI_PATHS.Group file

4. Import Vluki_ALL.Group file

5. Go to object Group ID 1134 (Novosokol' Niki).  View the train Station, you will see objects above the ground. 

6. Place a train at the location in the screen capture.  Then go into the game and you will see it in a different location.  See the 2 screen captures attached.  I've placed another train in at Velikie Luki train station and have exact same results... the train is not located in the same spot.  Note: these screen captures are taken from the mission I created, the steps above will allow you to re-create the issue.

 

I will be happy to provide my mission file if needed.

 

Thanks! Dave

Hi all,

 

Just downloaded and I'm having significant trouble with screen flashing.  It starts on the load screen and continues through game play.  I'm running DirectX 12 and have done all of the DPI refresh suggestions.  Nothing seems to fix it.  Help!

I guess this will only happen for BoX and not other performance intensive games, right? 

 

First did you download the DirectX11, BoX is still a game that uses the old DirectX11. 

Further, if being used, disable all the graphic enhancers like SweetFX, reShade, do not overclock, and not forget disable the BoX mods. 

Adjust your BoX game settings in the Nvidia controlpanel (or AMD)  to low, disable or let application decide.  

Reinstall the game to be sure its ok. 

 

Could you please post you system specs and not something like its a modern Intel 4,5Ghz but as an sample: CPU i7-9700k, Vcard GTX1070ti, etc. Or if it is an complete system like from Dell/HP, post the link from the system.

On starting BOS entire screen will do as described in title including in play  . I've always set the game at max resolutions before . if I lower resolutions all is ok . never did this before ,also if you click on task  manager the screen will revert to normal colors . no other game reacts this way . Two Asus founders edition GTX 1080 SLI enabled , intel extreme edition 965 water cooled on asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard on Win 10 with all updates . The hardware is older but hasn't given me any problems before . All games except DCS come from steam , any suggestions .

Are you sure SLI-mode really works with IL2 Great Battles? I think I read somewhere on this forum, that SLI-mode actually doesn't work. Maybe someone can some

more information about this?

I'm having a bit of difficulty setting up my graphics. Seems to be very grainy. I've tried a bunch of different setting and nothing changes.

Computer specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 3800 3.9 GHz

Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB

16 GB DDR4

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried disabling Sharpen? I really dislike that option and gives me that grainy look

[SYN_Vander]

For flatscreen it's better to use the sharpening option of Nvidia, you have more control of the 'grainyness':

Try running terrain roughness from low to medium.
