Tree visibility radius in VR?

[TWHYata_PL]

I have question no related with this version but maybe someone can help. 

Is there a way in the settings to increase the trees visibility range/radius ?. In VR HMD, it's very annoying , they just pops up near to my plane.

Try to experiment with the ingame settings: Landscape detail, Horizon Draw Distance and Ultra pre adjustment.  

Because of my low spec GTX1080 I’m forced to low setting, but to me it looks one of those 3 settings does have impact on both of your problems.

BTW, Let me know if a setting also reduces the rotating trees,  ?

Not 100% sure, but I think the quality settings Mediums/High/Ultra change the draw distance of trees.

It is in the preset. You need to check Ultra and 4x distance.

 

Unfortunately we lack separate options.

Check out this thread...

If you install this mod and look at the file 'gpresets.ini' with a text editor (notepad) after unzipping or whatever to the correct game folder, there are some things you can change to get a better experience but only with mods enabled in IL-2

 

If you go to the preset that you use (numbered 0 to 3 I believe for Low to Ultra) and change forest distance to 4 or more (up to 7 has been tested) this will change the draw distance of forest/trees.

 

Whilst you're in there, I would also change clouds samples from 64 to 128 or even 256, this gives all clouds more detail and stops them from 'boiling' or shimmering.

 

Basically this means you can run a Low or Balanced preset with the trees and clouds from the Ultra preset.

 

I hope that you find this useful.
