Title: Issue with some new skins.
Post by: Gary26 on July 02, 2011, 11:14:45 AM

I have the Hi Res pack. I even reinstalled it to make sure it was in right. For some reason the nose art on the new 29 skins are a blur. Even the 24 and 17's look like crap, but the 29's are the worst. Is just me or do i need to do something different. I am running at max res.

As a comparison, these are what i get (lower quality due to Photobucket) at 1680x1050 Res, Full AA, with 2048 Textures and Hi-Res installed:

This is one of the Nose-arts at 512 Texture Size:

If yours look worse (or like the 512) then it's possible the Hi-res isn't installed correctly, or you have the Texture size set lower than 1024.  To make sure you have Texture size set right, open the Video Settings from the main splash screen and you'll see "Max Texture Size" and set it to 1024 or higher as Hi-res pack requires 1024 or higher to work. Just be sure your computer can handle it. :)

Ya mine look nothing like that. They are just a blur. I will post pics when I get some time.

512 actually has 1/4 the available pixels that 1024 has.

Also, I believe 2048 is ONLY for interior texture (cockpits) meaning that external skins still top out at 1024. Unless this was changed only for the B-29, that's how all the others work.

You definitely make a tradeoff performance for looks.

The external art on the B-29 is 2048 res. When other large bombers are introduced or updated they will probably get 2048 external art too.

That would mean going down to 512 would be 1/16th as many pixels as 2048 when looking at B-29 noseart?


I noticed the higher detail, wasn't sure if they broke it up into 2 1024s or what. Now I know!

I actually fixed it. I didnt trouble shoot very well. In the settings on the title clipboard my res was set to 512. Not sure how. Maybe it get that way after the last update. Changed it and things look great now. Sorry for the trouble. I will trouble shoot better in the future.
