SU5 Graphiics Tweaks video

Featured Replies

I hope this video puts an end to the quarrel whether there is a graphics degradation or not with SU5.

What does filmgrain even do?  And vignette is set??

Film grain is an artistic effect which simulates artifacts which occur during the processing of photographic film.     It's that grainy old film look.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_grain

Vignette is the gradual darkening affect around the screen borders.   It more or less simulates the look of old movie film.

I don't care for either effect.

It should, but it won't. We've had prominent posters as recently as a few hours ago say no LOD changes were made.
Some people are afraid that pointing out issues means turning the crowd off to the sim I guess...

I am sure there will be many that say the person doing the video is wrong, the default way is correct, and no need for modifying any settings.

Whoa I didn't see that, did it do anything??  When I'm done making my under the desk mount for Alpha and Bravo I'll have to check that out.  DLSS would be nice too....

Just FYI Honeycomb has a deskmount system designed and engineered, but not in production yet.

I tried all of this earlier today makes your sim very sluggish - seems Asobo has a lot of work to do if it seems to good to be true it is - they dumbed down the sim as much has possible and sold us a bill of goods on super fps - like we wont figure it out

They hosed the sim for sbox to be able to run semi decent I saw videos and its popping and not much lod - they need to be two separate entity's but they dont want that - that would be to much work and we may be out of luck - Their plan is one injection into both platforms - easier for them but not good for pc users
