You'll have it ! I'm going to make a little walk in an industrial zone near home with my Canon, I may find some bridges too ;) Nicolas

Ow DANG, I forgot to modify it ! I will write it on the first page, and then change the pack in the hour... Thank you for the information... Edit : there too was an error in the medium one, I made a mistake and modified the 57 and 58 insteand of the 58 and 59. It's fixed, I'm uploading the new version, should be available in 1 hour ;)

Amazing work Lil ;)

I hope that you understood it well : I'll remake the textures, not create new 3D models ;)

Ok so here is the next monthe's roadmap : 1)Reworking the Hotel_a (or b don't remember) which disgusts me everytime I see it and makes me wonder why oh God Why dit I let it in the final version...? 2)Then remaking the textures of a total of 19 new buildings (Yes you know, I love pain... No but really, I love it, it's my reason for living ;) ), buildings which are : -The various airport hangars/factories (except the ones Ricardo touched at, cause he's better than me so I won't loose time at making work he already did....... ^^). -The control tower if I ****in find it ! -The 4 missing buildings from the categories I yet touched at (3 floors). -The Railway and Road bridges (no I won't remake too the giant "Harry Potter" one, just forget about it and get out ;) ). -A garage (yes I need it for my Kamov...) -A "shop" (yes I need it to buy some ammo). -The School (Yes I need it to fire my ammo on it, and honestly : have you ever heard about a school in DCS ? Well so for your culture, yes there are some, I just discovered them...). ^^ -The let's call it "3 chimney central". -Perhaps the nuclear central if I find it. -Perhaps the Fuel silos if I find them (you know the ones you find by six or nine...). -The polyclinica (yes they too have some hospitals in Georgia, that's pretty amazing dude...). -The Stadium, which should be full of surprises. -The Mosque (don't thank me don't thank me). Because I'm a very funny guy (yes yes I am), and that I'm a frenchie, I'll had an easter-egg, codename "Where-is-charlie ?", you may spend a lot of time looking for him.......... Or not ;). Nicolas

Yup, honestly, I hope you're right lizzard ;) @Zaelu, the list of the modified files has been added on the first page ;)

I'm going to add it on the first page.

Oh please don't make me regret to have released it for free ! :megalol: There has been some work, seeing you enjoying it is the best reward ;) But now the templates are done, I may easily add some buildings which I left aside. The next update, which will come for february-march (except if edge is out before) will feature a new stadium, some 2 floors buildings and the 3 floors that I didn 't touch at, and some airbase infrastructure, like the control tower, the maintenance hangar (I saw that Ricardo was working on it so maybe not), the big ugly industrial hangars, and the central with the 3 chimneys. If you understood my poor english, you'll see that it's only the beginning ;)

AAAAND that's with pleasure that I release to you the final version of my mod (available on the first page). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Wfkj5nEKIGNndFNzdQaFg5bEU/view?usp=sharing It so features : - 20 HD buildings with near and distant LOD. - Transition is made from 3 km instead of 5km in the alpha, it should improve fps, and currently looks very good for me. - This mod so includes 5 .lua files changing the view distance, compatible with more-visibility. The concerned lines are the 58 and 59, distance was put to 3500 and 3000 for high and more-visibility options, 2500 and 2000 for medium, and 1500 and 1000 for low ! Very long and boring work, I really hope you'll enjoy it ;) Nicolas

Okay so currently the distant LOD is nearly finished, only are three buildings (the harder, like the big "twin tower"), because the different faces are very hard to find precisely. The transition looks good, I so reduced the transition distance to 3 km, which should improve the fps for the low VRAM GPU. Because of my studies, I actually can't work on it during the week, just Saturday and Sunday. So the v0.9 should be ready for 2 weeks. (0.9 because I may optimize it later, and add some other buildings like the control tower and few buildings that I didn't touch at. Perhaps the Stadium too if I find some good concrete and grass textures). No screens because you won't see any difference with the current render... Nicolas ps : the "no you can't", just a joke, was thinking about caricaturing some democratic campaign in an ex-USSR country :p... And talking about caricatures, ehehe, some other easter eggs may come ...

Then place a tank on the tower :p

My pleasure ;) It's still strange for me to see my mod on others people's screens and videos :p Because of the... Fiesta, I didn't do many things the two last days, in the actual version it seems it's already quite good for many people, I currently have made 8 distant LOD (+-12 buildings left). EDIT : yes absolutely, JSGME compatible (I use it for trying the textures ;) ) Nicolas

Mkay so 2 good news : I made 2 buildings today (wow such a big amount of work ^^), but finally found a good method so the next ones will be easier et faster to do ! I may decrease the LOD apparition from 5 km to 3 km, which should save fps, because transition looks really better than what I thought.

I thkin that the stadium, which is rare, is going to be an easteregg treasure :p

No but you're right ! This thread is too here to receive your comments ! So if it doesn't please to other people, I'll change it ! It's too the goal of the alpha !

Ah yes a question please : To the ones who tried the alpha : do you think this : is too much ? Should I remove it, or let it just for fun ? Nicolas

Weren't there any screens from edge with such wind generator ? Cause if I'm right, perhaps will them be accessible from DCS once Edge will be there ? But yes I know, Two more weeks :p Nicolas

I didn't read all the thread, but seems very nice ;) For the mipmaping, don't forget (I didn't know it for my mod and I stayed stuck for 3 days on it), that the images res must be : 1024, 2048 or 4096, not betweens those values.

Mkay so I'm going to close the alpha tonight (I mean the poll), there will still be the link on the first page, v0.5 . I'm beginning the distant lod now, it's shittier than what I remembered, but it'll be done quite quickly.

Nope in the building_texture, i just have the ferma_a, but not the ferma_b !

Thank you very much lil ! It's thanks to mods like yours that dcs can remain as one of the most graphical attractive sim on the market !

Erf, I didn't even touch at it ! Try in the building_texture . zip but I really don't know :/ The mains I modified were the differents "home" , "dom", "hotel" and " korpus".

Nope, there are 2 textures. The near lod, which is completed and in High res, and the distant lod, which isn't completed and is in low res. The goal of the alpha was to test the impact of the High res textures on computers. It seems it's limited. So now I can focuse on the distant LOD, cause the new textures currently appear from only 5 km ;)

Hey oh it's not yet completed XD Currently I'm on holidays (ski) until tuesday. Then I'll have to finish the distant lod...

OK so, as I can see there isn't (surprisingly) real fps loss (with my gtx 680 and 2 go vram, I loose between 2 and 10). Now another interesting test would be to increase the distant from 5 km to 10.
