Bandy 3 Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I've uploaded a bunch of screen shots from the cockpit of an N11 illustrating the ground fog/haze line that some people are having issues with. You can best see the line when the pics are full screen, especially the sea horizon jaggies 3rd image... Have not seen anyone mention this observation so am posting, but maybe I missed it along the way, as I seem to be prone to that... I noticed on a mission that if I sit back in the "cockpit" (i.e. my body and head against the backrest of my overly comfortable chair in front of the monitor, complete with single malt...) with TIR giving me a wide view that the ground fog/haze line, as well as the horizon line, is very noticeable and jaggy (screenies below). Then as I was approaching the front and leaned forward/zoomed in to scan the horizon for specks and flak bursts, I noticed the ground fog/haze line was almost non-existent, it only occurred along the very periphery of my monitor (other screenies below), and stayed in the periphery when I turned even further around to check 6. If you adjust the virtual pilot's head position forward with the reset key of TIR (i.e. lean back and hit F12 I think, mine is set to *) then the haze line is ameliorated, though it is a bit tougher to see the gauges quickly. I also noticed that the ground haze line doesn't matter a hill of beans when you're in a furball...

Mike Dora 171 Posted February 27, 2010 Bart, Quick question, is this with FE1 or FE2? Because if the jagged haze line is still there in FE2, then that is one more reason why I may stick with my heavily-modded FE1. In any case, I'm looking forward to trying this trick when I get back to my desktop next month, that blasted haze line is the last remaining FE bugbear for me. And if it doesn't work, can always try another wee dram of the single malt - that usually helps soften any haze! Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandy 3 Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) I have not made the jump to FE2 yet, though I will likely buy it very soon (if the Aldis gets replaced in a patch ) simply to support the vendor The juxtaposition of the port side Flanders screenies 3 and 4 above really are the proof. I paused the sim and looked at the same spot in two cockpit positions, so everything else remains equal. Look at and compare the scale of the cockpit gauge to get an idea of where my virtual head position is. This also explains why I wasn't experiencing this artifact as bad as you were Mike (and others) in the last thread. I always futz about in the cockpit and reset the TIR head position to get it just right on each mission. Head rest issues on check 6 are a real PITA in SE5 and SPAD. It changes from a/c to a/c. Though it seems only a few of us are bothered by it Edited February 27, 2010 by Bandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
