    So, looked at the code, no straightforward solution here. That terrain "smoothing" code in my shaders is one of the oldest pieces, probably from 2014, and since then I figured out a way to use the...

    This is exactly what I thought.
    Those edges are there even with default settings, but they normally appear too far to be noticeable.

    Hi! Sorry for the delay, I don't visit forums often these days.

    When you see negative or weird numbers like "Width: -65276, Height: 1199562752" this means you have to run cfs3config and select...

    36 FPS is too low, of course. I'm sure upcoming MS FS will work better on your GPU :)

    Oh, right. I forgot that CFS3 screenshot key doesn't work with DX11 yet, but Print Screen key should work as usual.

    Getting right colors is very difficult, because they are produced by light extinction and scattering formula instead of being set directly.
