Please give us the ability to turn off the heat blur effects generated from turboprop and turbojet aircraft.
If you have access to the aircraft.cfg file you can disable the heat blur in the [EFFECTS] section.
Put a “;” (without quotes) at the beginning of each effect.x line.
i.e.:
;effect.0 =LIGHT_Asobo_Landing#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_CAP10
;effect.1 =LIGHT_Asobo_Landing#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_TBM930
Don’t forget to save the file and restart the sim to make the change effective.
Wouldn’t be the better request to fix the effect for VR?
Hi,
It sure would be better to ask for a fix, but it might take months, if not years, until such fix is actually implemented.
Unfortunately since the aircraft are all online, we can’t do that
Even if the effect was fixe, and yes it should be, I would still want the option to disable it because it adds nothing to the visuals for me but has a render cost.
Fair point. Fix it and make it optional as well
It’s why I wrote “if you have access to…” I’m still with 2020 now.
But I thought with 2024 there is an option to have your aircraft on the local disk. True or false ? Encrypted or not ?
If there is no possibility to modify anything 2024 is not for me.
Fine tuning my planes is a big part of my pleasure with the sim, much more than EFBs, a career or airliners.
Not currently. It is a wishlist item they said they are trying to do, but apparently “with limits” because for some reason they seem concerned that people will “cheat” on the career mode. Which is absurd because it’s single player so who cares?
I agree completely about having access to our aircraft files. There could be a settings tick box to enable unlimited access to aircraft files, this could also be used to to put a flag in career mode achievements so people know if mods have been used or not for anyone that cares about career mode.
agree! its also like looking thru water, it should be so much less “dense” so that its barely noticable. but OFF is a good option.
//42 had IMO the best heat blur effects. The stock effects are terrible, Just a blurry mess. 2024 PC-12 NGX Not in VR
+1.
The heat blur seems really exaggerated in many cases - and having an option to kill it seems like a good idea.
