UH-60 Blackhawk Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 I was just flying on VATSIM, in a CRJ-200 (Not Javier's, I'm quite broke :'( ), I was having serious graphics problems, similar to the fog inducing, however, it would also induce ground-textured fog, and I was still running at around 50 FPS. I hit the exterior view, tried to take a screenshot, and boom! Back to normal. Is this a bug or just something funny, maybe a glitch of some sort? Quote

Lukasz Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 While I can't say what caused the appearance of the fog in the first place, it's true that making a screenshot causes the artificial fog to disappear - either completely of for some time. By artificial fog, I think of the one that is made by the sim itself, to reduce the visibility range, so that the fps are preserved on weaker hardware. Sometimes I end up with hundreds on unnecessary screenshots, being the byproducts of "fog clearing" when flying with marginal fps, caused by demanding too much from my computer Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 Oh, thanks. It cleared most of it all the way until my computer, as I have somewhat come to expect, froze, so a good 5-10 minutes. I'm thinking about trying the lock fps option, if only I could set it at 30 FPS rather than half the refresh rate. Quote
Lukasz Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 What works best for me, is locking framerate to the refresh rate of the monitor and setting minimum framerate to 19.00fps. No artifacts and the artificial fog appearance is maximally delayed. Quote
Oliver Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 You could also download a plugin called "Clear Skies". It's on the org somewhere and it prevents the appearance of fog, it's what I use and I find it very useful! Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 I'll try both of those, thanks! Quote
