Brain32 WoE terain. Flickering dark polygons on water - october08 patch

[squid 21]

I am getting these distant flickering dark polygons on water with Brain32's WoE terain after the october08 patch. Any clues?

I get the same thing on the Libya terrain. Renamed the FX file, and it lessened it.

 

I am unsure what to change in the INI's to negate it...

More specifically, in my Libya_Data.ini, I looked for;

 

[HeightField]

DetailScale=1.0

DetailFrequency=1.0

MaxHeight=1000

MinHeight=0

 

And then added these 3 lines with a normal heading space above and below;

 

[HeightOffset]

LowDetailMesh=-1.0

WaterMesh=0.8

 

Now I am flying flicker free over on the games machine!

 

Many thanks...

Well the problem with that setting is that your ships is laying deep in the water. As you are moving the watermesh up 0.8 meter that will be almost 3 feet. And the ships dont follow.

 

Personally I use

 

[HeightOffset]

LowDetailMesh=-1.0

WaterMesh=0.1 = 10 cm or 4 inches

 

Which removed all the flickering
