Marston mat texture change?

[popeye]

Did the Marston mat texture change in the new release?  I'm seeing very strong moire patterns that I don't remember seeing before.  (Or maybe it's always been there and I never noticed....)

Enough with the French!!! English please!

Marston is in North Carolina.   


Reminds me of the episode of Baa Baa Black Sheep where Doc Roberts finds the magic mushrooms out behind the infirmary.

With this last patch the Marston mat runway on the small field has been doing an intense crazy Moirι pattern effect, more so than ever before.

Looked a bit like those SPIRAL white and Black pictures, that when stared at seem too be moving. I have noticed...I quit Smoking, Drinking and Depression is better...HOPE ITS NOT Alien Hypnotics I also noticed a STRONG URGE to go to the store and buy high quality Scotch....

I don't know what was changed, but man it's not good.  I'm getting almost dizzy looking at it.   Even at altitude it's like a constant sine wave akin to some monitor on Spock's Star Trek TV series console.

 

Definitely not a good look on my end.   Needs to go back to the old style until it can be improved.

Sounds like they need mipmapping.

Interesting...…………..

If anyone is interested, you might try enabling anisotropic filtering in vid card driver (set to override application settings to stop driver from looking for application\game settings for this filtering) then set the level of filtering to 16x (max setting) to see if this stops it from occurring.

To date I haven't noticed any of this occurring on my end while playing but I have this setting active in my vid card's driver and have been using it for the last 4-5 yrs due to me running a test back in the day when in a plane sitting on a marston matted runway at the spawn point then looking either left or right view along the edge of the marston matting I noticed the matting pattern breaking up well before the end of the mat which was corrected when vid card driver-level anisotropic filtering was applied, which suggested to me that anisotropic filtering wasn't being applied\used in the game to realign graphic tiles (or mip maps) over distances to maintain pattern symmetry thruout your visual line of sight.

Something to consider...…………………………

YMMV

Same here.  it is a little "intense".

Also I am seeing what I will call rectangular block shadows from the cockpit of some of the fighters (F4U-1D and Spit 9?) i ride.

Did you hit your head on the canopy?

I thought^&^&he was trying to say psychotropic I was gonna say I'm there.



no no no  I just got this video card and I'm not messing with anything on it or in it or to it

As Pudgie says this will correct the problem with Nvidia cards with very little to no hit on frames.

Still begs the question, “Why fix something that wasn’t broken?”

I obviously missed the problem as it seemed fine before.

I suspect it was not being "fixed". It is a side result of something else being changed.
