skulz Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 How can I extend the view distance of objects e.g Buildings,Trees, etc...? Video options are set to Unlimited but still getting bad distance view. This is my options.ini [GraphicsOptions] DisplayDeviceID=0 DisplayWidth=1920 DisplayHeight=1080 DisplayDepth=32 AspectRatio=1.777778 AntiAliasing=16 ForceDX9=FALSE ForceVSyncOff=FALSE LensFlare=0 DetailLevel=4 ObjectDetail=2 ObjectTexture=3 CockpitTexture=3 CockpitMirrors=1 CockpitReflection=1 EffectsDetail=3 TerrainDetail=2 TerrainTexture=3 HorizonDistance=3 GroundObjectDensity=3 WaterDetail=3 CloudsDetail=2 Shadow=3 ObjectsFade=TRUE -------------------------------------- Best regards.

+MigBuster Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Think it was DetailMeshSize in FLIGHTENGINE.INI - turn it up to 11 for the graphic option you use. [HighDetailOption] HorizonDistance=14000.0 DetailMeshSize=11 <------------- DetailLevel=2 WaterEffect=2 NoiseTexture=1 MaxTextureRes=512 Quote

skulz Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) flightdata.cat Extractor softwares wont open the Flightdat.cat What should I do now Edit: My game is SF2- North Atlantic it checked for updates online and updated the game. Edited April 23, 2012 by skulz Quote
+Brain32 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) You have ancient cat extractor, download the new one apr12 from TW site... Edited April 23, 2012 by Brain32 Quote
KJakker Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 You might still be using the March version of the cat extractor. Try downloading the April version. http://www.thirdwire...loads_tools.htm Quote
SFP1Ace Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) And don't forget to set ObejctsFade=FALSE in options.ini, otherwise changing detailmeshsize won't have any affect! Edited April 23, 2012 by SFP1Ace 1 Quote
skulz Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 It works :D I downloaded the last version from TW site. You guys rule and have saved my a** I couldnt find any readme file for TW extractor, What do I do after editing the FLIGHTENGINE.INI file? Do I have to put it inside the Mod folder? Quote
+russouk2004 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 yes the flightengine.ini goes into your mod folder\Flight\ Quote
skulz Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks, I will report you back the results guys. Quote
skulz Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 It worked! With DetailMeshSize=20 looks perfect but drops down FPS to 20's with high res texture maps. Reduced to DetailMeshSize=9 for normal gameplay. With DetailMeshSize=20 Looks perfect for Screenshots, Strangely my GPU doesnt even like running the game, it doesnt get warm as playing other games. There must be something with game's engine. Thank you so much for all your help I really appreciate it. Quote

+Wrench Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Cat Extractor or Mue's Tool Kit has an extractor in it Quote
