I just noticed that I am not acquiring any bulletholes in my planes when I get shot at....I'm running at normal res with fx on 5 and planes on 5...scenery and terrain are both on 3 and clouds on 1.....It's not that big of a deal cuz when I get shot down I fall to the ground bullet holes or not, but it's kinda fun to take screenies of shot up planes, huh? And it's nice to know where I've been hit if I'm not paying close attention to the red text messages.....any ideas?

Hello Middle

We have tracked this to GPU mem overload on certain cards and I am sure that turning down sliders will help - but we are looking at it.

Again no-one in the test team or beta test had this issue but thats PCs for ya!

You seem to be enjoying the game otherwise?

There are some other issues that we are working on and have almost completed - see the sticky post above.

Yeh, otherwise I'm enjoying it...if it's a turn down slider issue..which slider should I turn down? I also guess I could try the low res skin, huh?
 
I've read that the damage doesn't show on "hi-res" planes. Is this a setting seperate to the sliders?

In workshops there is a setting for craft skins res - in the Detail column - Aircraft Skins.... Note: Hi res (no vis damage) has no visible damage - i.e no visible bullet holes.
Normal and Low do show bullet holes on all Beta test PCs and Dev PCs but there have been one or two posts here where even normal res has no bullets showing - its tied up with GPU mem load.

Thanks WN. Could you explain why damage doesn't show in hi-res? It seems a shame to have to choose between the most beautiful a/c render and visible damage.
 
I had this problem once with some cfs3config tweaks I had made in the textures panel. I think it was linked with the passage to 2048x2048 textures. Try to reset cfs3config and redo your usual tweaks and see if the problem happens again.
 
In the config I have the resolutions I'm not using checked. First I'm gonna try and see what happens if I set the skins to low res. One of these days I may just have to acquire a proper vid card instead of this intel chipset. I will keep ya posted as to the results..thanks for the tips...mid
 
I'm using 2 Nvidia GTX 260's in SLI and I can get roughed up pretty well and haven't seen so much as a scratch any plane. No bullet holes, no fabric tears, no wing damage. I'm using "normal res".
