+Swordsman422 61 Posted July 18 Hey fellas, It's been a REALLY long time since I fired up SF2. I haven't flown it really at all since the DCS F/A-18 came out, and my SF2 collection has been just sitting idle on my HD. In a fit of nostalgia and wanting to fly the F-8 Crusader again, I decided why not, and started flying again. Is it just me, or are the polished metallic textures I remember kinda dull? Have I been playing DCS for too long now, or do the bare metal aircraft skins no longer have the same effect on modern GPUs? I'm running an RTX3070 on Win10 if that matters. Thanks. Glad to be back, if even for just a short visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,916 Posted July 18 You may have to be more specific - the GFX have not changed since 2013 so it is more likley to be mod related or a setting. I am using NVIDIA cards which generally have been miles better for backwards compatibility. Test shot from NATO fighters default object. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Swordsman422 61 Posted July 18 Yeah, mine looks like that, but I remember the bare metal jets being a bit more reflective and the glint being more crisp. Of the environmental mods, I'm currently using realSKY, which shouldn't have changed anything in this regard. I must just be remembering incorrectly, having been 7 years or so in DCS. Hope you hit what you were shooting at, BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,916 Posted July 18 A skin has this so maybe you were changing this before: [TextureSet001] Directory=RAFSilver1 Name=RAF Silver 1 Nation=RAF Squadron=74RAF StartDefaultDate=1 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.800000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Swordsman422 61 Posted July 19 Nah. I did try experimentally to increase it by cranking those numbers up, but it didn't appear to do much. I really just think it was my memory being wrong. Thanks for trying to help, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
