You can change the height of fall (HOF) and rpm settings for the CBU87 and you may want to create a simple test mission to see what works best. Wind speed is also a factor that needs to be considered.

When you use the DCS World Blackshark tab to make changes the changes will be applied to DCS World and all of it's contents and/or modules.

Not yet but when a true WWII map is available I will.

With this mod enabled I am still seeing shadows from both buildings and trees. Here's a screen with shadows set to medium and terrain flat shadows on.

I am using JSGME the same way I did in 1.2.16 and have had no problems. I remember in one of Wagg's live streams he said the folder structure was not going to change. If you already have JSGME just change the path to DCS World OpenBeta, do a new snapshot to be safe and let the good times roll. As a side note, this mod seems to have eliminated the shimmering and shadow flickering of trees that I had with the default terrain textures.

There have been many reports of tree shadows flickering and trees shimmering at a distance in the 1.5 open beta and I have been experiencing these issues as well. I loaded Starway's Northern European terrain mod this evening and didn't see any of these problems. If someone could do an educated comparison between the terrain textures in this mod and the default 1.5 open beta textures then perhaps an easy solution would become obvious. Just sayin' :music_whistling:

It's been working fine for me with multiplayer missions.

It's good to see you are still involved in this old friend, maybe we will fly a mission again sometime. Cheers

Don't worry yourself about this, if slmod gets a 1.5 update that should solve these issues with older missions. Thanks again for looking.

After spending quite a bit of time tweaking the dds files with no positive results I think you may be right. I'll wait for a few more patches and hope some of these issues get resolved.

Thanks Grimes. As you know there have been many missions created that rely on chat commands and that's the feature I would most like to see available with 1.5.

One thing I have been hoping for is an 8 ship A-10C MP mission that could be hosted for an organized group for say 5 days, each day picking up where the previous day's progress left off rather than starting from the beginning each day. It would have to include a large number of tasking assignments that would stretch the span of the overall mission with each session lasting about 1 and 1/2 hours. This looks like the perfect tool to use to create it am I sure hoping that someone will whip up this mission idea soon. Ranger79? Wrecking Crew? Baltic Dragon? Let's get busy guys.:music_whistling:

When I see trees at a distance in this sim they often seem to vibrate or shimmer regardless of what graphics settings I use. I have a theory but not the skill to test it with photoshop so I am wondering, if the dds image files for trees were just slightly blurred would that allow them to be seen equally well in real time but help to eliminate some of the shimmering? If there is someone that knows how to do it then perhaps an easy to create mod could be made to test this theory. OK, who's first?

Try going to your nvidia control panel and enabling adaptive vsync and turning vsync off in the DCS options instead. Also hit Right ALT + ENTER for full screen mode in the mission. I and others are getting good results with that.

Any chance of getting this updated for 1.5 soon?

Update: If I DO NOT save the Red Snake mission in the 1.5 OB ME it does load in the 1.5 OB master server and functions as modified using the F10 radio. Everything seems to run OK BUT after 2 attempts it has crashed after about 15 minutes.

Have you seen this thread?

I ran Joyride's Talon's Reach mission today with Fall as season at 8 AM and it too was pitch black. I thought it may have been another issue involving saving old missions in the new ME but it seems you have had the same experience with a mission created in the new ME.

I think it may be related to HDR. Try turning HDR off and see if that changes things.

If you haven't already tried, do a DCS openbeta repair from the start menu if you have that available.

Actually, the latest hotfix removed the option from the graphics.lua file

The pause without clients selection does not seem to be working when hosting a MP mission.

It still doesn't load to the master server. Op Saturn is the one I wanted most so if you are still in the mood maybe you could look at that one. I think it is much less complicated than this one. Thanks again.

it still won't load but there's another issue that has come up in the forum, that is when I bring it into the 1.5 ME it won't save correctly.

I have been using this mod for a very long time but it doesn't work with the 1.5 beta. Any chance of getting an updated version? If not for me then for the virtual environment, you know...... virtual global warming.
