A question for Fubar and Starry

[Icarus999 70]

Hello Guys,

 

I have a terrain Clipping issue that arises when I increase the "detailmeshsize" settings in the flight engine ini. I have run tests in modded and stock versions of WOE 08 patch and went as far as buying SF2E to see if something new in that version of the game allows for the "detailmeshsize=16" settings that Fubar is using to render all terrain objects within the players view. The problem seems to be tied to the flightengine ini "[farsceneclip] and [normalsceneclip] settings.

 

 

there are 2 issues:

 

first is a light blue clipping that hugs and outlines the terrain tiles. It seems to be tied to the [normalsceneclip] settings.

 

With the stock settings I get the clipping.. I noticed my Lexxluther modded install with these settings did not have the blue clipping.

 

[NormalSceneClip]

FarClipDistance=5000E+3 <------- lexx settings

//25000.0 <--------stock settings

//5000E+3

NearClipDistance=249.9

 

 

here is a screen shot using stock [NormalSceneClip] settings

And here is what happens to my clouds when I use the "Detailmeshsize" modification ... notice how they follow the shape of the terrain tiles. This happens with the stock clouds as well.

I am running this on a very powerful gaming rig, everything else looks beautiful.

 

Are you guys using modified farclip/normalclip settings in your flight engine ini's? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks for your time.

What's your horizon distance there?

 

I've seen that exact thing. Forgot why though.

 

 

FarClipDistance=5000E+3 <------- lexx settings

//25000.0 <--------stock settings

 

 

 

Try something between Stock and Lexx. Lexx settings can cause other issues to appear in a more "normal" use of the SF. Unless you need that 5 million, start with maybe 100000 (I always convert to km so 100E+3)

 

 

 

 

After about 0.5 year of SF-free absence, *I FORGOT* buttloads of little sim details, just like this one. I mean, I totally intentionally ignored the sim for that time. Now I'm paying for it. I wanna re-do my 6MMM map, and I forgot how.
