Texture switching along the runway

Post by suniram » Wed May 08, 2019 3:16 am

Hi guys,

first of all thanks for this stunning airport. It is (as all of your work) incredible !
There is just a minor thing which I find a little bit disturbing and which I noticed when landing on RWY24R the other day.

At several places the grass textures along the runway are switching quite noticeable when approaching them. I suppose this has to do with the LOD. Just one example in the screenshots where the color changes from brownish to rather green. I know that in the screenshots it doesnt look very dramatic, but "live" the dynamic switching is really a bit distracting as the color changes. My zoom setting is 0.40 and so far I havent noticed that on other airports.

Is there something which could be done about it. I mean its not a big issue at all, but would be nice of course..

thanks in advance

best regards

Its the Volumetric grass LODs. They are more noticeable when zoomed out.

Ah Ok, thank you, I can see it now. ..
Would increasing the LOD switching distance have a major performance impact ?

In my testing, I could leave the grass on all the time without any difference. But it might affect people without I7s and 1080s because there are 10,000s of grass polygons.
