Screenshot question, Odd reflections?? Any help appreciated

Post by mx750 »

Hello Simulator community, I'm curious if any of you also have this same problem, When i'm not up close on the bike or an object the pictures have something weird up with them. I thought maybe it was the reflections so i turned them off but that didn't help. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance..
Notice the forks here?

Then this is the same view of the stadium banners just one from far away and one up close. As i get closer the oddness go away.

Try to add this to your target line:

Code: Select all

--zdepth 24

Wow Man thanks a ton that worked. I would have never got that on my own. I appreciate the help.
Just out of curiosity what exactly does that code do?

If I've got that right, it increases the buffer precision. I just remembered this issue from seeing it a couple if times before,here's JLV explaining it a little. Glad it helped :)

well turns out it works great in game but as soon as I use the FFMPEG to record a demo its back? Could it be my computer just cant handle it or could that be something with the recording software? Any ideas thanks

FFMPEG, the script JLV has as a recording thingy? I'm not sure really how ffmpeg works, but it could be that it kind of uses it's own launcher or something? Otherwise I'd suggest to use "MSI Afterburner" to record with, I think it's great!

If you're using the ffmpeg script you need to put the zdepth option in the script.

You right click and choose "properties", there's your target line.

Open mxavi.bat in your text editor and add the option to the line that starts with "mx".

mx --zdepth 24 --record-audio a-stereo-88320.ub --record-video --lock-fps %inputfps% --width %xres% --height %yres% | ffmpeg -y -r %outputfps% -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec %vcodec% noaudio.avi
