Lighting issues
« on: August 23, 2017, 06:06:27 AM »
With the latest patch I noticed something as of yesterday:

When I am airborne in any plane, F1 cockpit view, the light changes with bringing up the clipboard.

To an extend where horizon gets fuzzy and very unattractive. Terrain mixes with sky, the lightning is way too bright to my opinion. Flying around with clipboard open is reducing this significant.
 Turning off lighting effect also helps but that was not the idea....

Made no changes on my rig, installed through Occulus library.

Running the recommended Nvidia settings from this board ( anti aliasing etc ) on a 1080. Win10 pro.

Anyone else noticed this?

Hi. Steam brought me back. Onto the issue.

I have the same phenomenon. The sky is very bright which causes a very distracting shimmering at the horizon. As soon as I bring up the clipboard the bright light goes low and I see haze at the horizon. That phenomenon stops after sundown.

Turning post-processing lightning on and off does not have any impact.

May need to adjust settings in Nvidia control panel. Those changes how ever have a few steps involved though. As I understand it, you make the changes and with VR it is "PORT SPECIFIC" meaning you make adjustments and then plug in Rift to the slot that the monitor was plugged into to set them in VR. The new slot the monitor is plugged into will be unchanged

I'll try and repoduce, any help with offline testing (so it's repeatable) would be apreciated.

I had it happen last night online, workaround is to leave the clipboard up.  It also happens offline in the training arena.

NOPE! I see no difference with clipboard  being up. Then again I am running absolutely ZERO anti aliasing,whether smaa or other. Nvidia and the ingame settings. Maybe that could be the issue? :headscratch:

On my end it is basically switch on and it runs like this.

Arena time was before dusk. It becomes less noticeable with sun settling towards darkness.

No antialising on my end either. But I cranked up the supersampling in the Steam VR control panel to 2.6 or so.

That makes total sense - no? Explains the strange shimmering and increased brightness.

I have it with my DK2 - if I put away my clipboard, on my Oculus - the left eyepiece stops receiving haze while the right is fine. The right is good. If I bring back the clipboard, the issue goes away - so does when I see smoke from my engine starting, or if I'm landing and my wheel brakes engage - the issue goes away. Very weird bug.

Dang,even when I am normal(everything works) I am still odd :furious LOL Only other thing I did with rift was to change the color pallet and Digital Vibrance and Gamma? On the color I went 343 on the slider,gamma .9. May have just colored it out maybe. I just want to fit in!! lol

When you bring the CLIPBOARD up, where do you see it? Right in front, left,right on wing...The clipboard will cast a shadow, depending on time of day, sun position ect. Maybe thats it? I put my clipboard on right wing so If I do want it open all the time It is out of the way.  I cant replicate a lighting difference with Shadows and REFLECTIONS on and then put Clipboard on same side of cockpit as the sun. Thats the only way I saw any change as described.

I think it's the same bug I posted screenshots of.
