FalconC45 157 Posted June 28, 2016 I can't get the damn fade distance mod to work. I re read and re read the fading mod thread until my head started to hurt. I just don't get it. the damn cities still pop up too close and I used Hecks settings in that thread. Think its time to retire SF2. Its becoming too taxing and WIN10 ruined the smooth graphics I enjoyed before I upgraded to WIN10 on top the WIN8.1 I had. Anyway if you guys have tips to get the cities to pop up in distance I'll appreciate it. Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stary 2,426 Posted June 28, 2016 Falcon you did set the ObjectsFade=FALSE in options.ini? They have to be set to false for the extra fading shaders actually do their work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJakker 875 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) FalconC45, would you please attach your FLIGHTENGINE.INI and ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI files for us to look at? Also are you using any terrain mods and if so which ones? Edit:What Stary said also. Edited June 28, 2016 by KJakker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+streakeagle 864 Posted June 28, 2016 Don't give up. It is worth the effort to get it working! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Streakfalcon 57 Posted June 29, 2016 Falcon you are not alone...Ive been modding this game since 2004 and i cant get it to work either. Really hoping you get it sorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconC45 157 Posted June 29, 2016 Wait a sec, the thread said NOTHING about environment.ini tweaking. I tweaked the flightengine.ini AND the two .fx files mentioned in the thread.Falcon Falcon you did set the ObjectsFade=FALSE in options.ini? They have to be set to false for the extra fading shaders actually do their work Stary yes I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJakker 875 Posted June 29, 2016 I ask about the ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI in case there was something in it that could be interfering. Make sure that the SkyDistance= in the environmentsystem.ini is greater than the FarClipDistance= in the flightengine.ini. Just to check, did you put the .fx files into every single one of your terrain folders? Next what are the settings you are using in your flightengine.ini? The ones below are what I am presently using. [backgroundSceneClip] /FarClipDistance=240000.0 FarClipDistance=160000.0 NearClipDistance=3000.0 [ForegroundSceneClip] FarClipDistance=14000.0 NearClipDistance=0.45 [insideSceneClip] FarClipDistance=250.0 NearClipDistance=0.01 [LowDetailOption] //HorizonDistance=30000.0 /HorizonDistance=90000.0 HorizonDistance=60000.0 /DetailMeshSize=6 DetailMeshSize=9 DetailLevel=0 WaterEffect=0 NoiseTexture=0 MaxTextureRes=128 [MedDetailOption] /HorizonDistance=42000.0 //HorizonDistance=126000.0 HorizonDistance=84000.0 /DetailMeshSize=6 DetailMeshSize=9 DetailLevel=1 WaterEffect=1 NoiseTexture=0 MaxTextureRes=256 [HighDetailOption] /HorizonDistance=50000.0 //HorizonDistance=150000.0 HorizonDistance=100000.0 /DetailMeshSize=9 DetailMeshSize=14 DetailLevel=2 WaterEffect=2 NoiseTexture=1 MaxTextureRes=512 [unlimitedDetailOption] /HorizonDistance=62000.0 //HorizonDistance=186000.0 HorizonDistance=124000.0 DetailMeshSize=18 DetailLevel=2 WaterEffect=2 NoiseTexture=1 MaxTextureRes=-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll put the ini's in this thread tomorrow. I'm just drained mentally tonight. Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Stary 2,426 Posted June 29, 2016 Also for one in a million chnace put the shaders also into root terrains folder. Another question Falcon, is the modded folder in the (mostly usual) username/saved games/ or on other drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
