• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What do i need to do to get the best external view ? Have all sliders set to 5 but my aircraft don't look as well as some in the screenshots thread .
 
AnKor's shaders set the viewing angle differently so as to reduce of eliminate the exaggerated degree of scale distorsion due to distance. Well worth installing if you haven't already, although you might want to keep your current suneffect.xml for the time being. A mild pain to install, but well worth it. Otherwise, the previous set (August 2016, I think) is easy to install and works fine.
 
We've had the benefit of over three years of continuous development by Andrey, and every time I think CFS3 is out of capacity to be improved further, he adds additional features and upgrades.
