Extreme and Ultimate look superb and run well on my system but unfortunately causing buildings to flicker on the Normandy Map and it's particularly bad over London. Looks to me as if its cant decided what lod to use and flicks between both?

Thankyou

The download seems to be corrupted, I'm unable to extract the zip file.

While on the current topic of view distance but being mindful of not hijacking Barthek's thread, dose anybody have a working modified graphics for the view distance I can try?

le1hy If possible and when you have the time, would you mind doing a texture for the mxu-648 travel pod to match and blend with your skins? Unfortunately the F-16 seems to use the one for A-10 and being light in tone, looks like it doesn't belong or blend in with your skins and tanks. Thanks

I've just experience this and the brain shake horrendous! Seems to be a feature added to all FC3 aircraft. Is there anyway to turn it off?

Except for the A-10, I was surprised all the others were still at low resolution. I hope the update in 3d model materials and the implementing of PBR textures will inspire community texture artist to make high resolution alternatives for us.

Caused by custom cockpit textures, select Default cockpit in the special settings menu and the mirrors will be back.

Well done on cracking the cirrus.fx! The alternating cirrus textures is the one feature in DCS that’s frustrated me for years. Being able to keep one cloud pattern present for at least 24 hours really enhances the atmosphere and ambiance of every cloud preset and especially impressive at dusk or dawn. It also adds just a touch of flavour to those sterile blue sky missions some mission makers are to determined to make. Hope you don’t mind I’m rather attached to the stock Cirrus textures, so I’ve kept them in for now. Thank you again for your time and effort that you have put in to this.

I've just tried it and it looks the business. I discovered there are two versions in the special settings menu, Factory New and Aged. The aged version looks superb. I wish they sorted the HUD scaling and the default sitting position while they were at it, so we don't have to sit on the stick to keep the font contained within the contrasts of the HUD glass.

I've just recently learnt the Gazelle after having it gather dust on my hard drive for years on end and now I've fallen in love with it. Flying with the usual short sprung stick that most of us use, the biggest game changer form me was flattening the Saturation Y and using as little curvature as possable. This make the Gazelle much more manageable for learning and flying with in the everyday flight envelope. It will only limit you if you attempt manoeuvres that require rare full cyclic deflection and that you will almost never do. You can increase the saturation if once you've got comfortable flying and want more response or travel, but I've felt no need to do so. The ultimate answer is a true to life full length cyclic, for me this seems to be the best compromise. Hope this helps Pitch - Y Roll - X

Beautiful thank you.

Dose anyone know if there a fix I can make so the OV-10 Bronco wont clash with the the engine sounds? Or are these mods permanently incompatible?

The amount of time youve spent starting DCS, checking, closing, making edits and then restarting to achieve these presets must be phenomenal! Thank you and thanks for keeping the stock Cirrus clould in.

+1 Is there a step by step guide? "115V AC bus must be powered" I cant find any info on this either?

I've found tweaking the haze in the atmosphere.hsl works but never looks quite right as DCS uses the haze for blending purposes, so the textures or blending in the distance can look a little odd. I strongly recommend using ReShade for reducing the haze and enhancing the overall look of the sim and it won't intefear with the IC. Along with the Sweet.fx shaders I recommend installing Astray.fx shaders when installing ReShade. I have the following enabled: Blooming_HDR.fx (This is were the magic happens and it adjusts the lighting and bloom in real time according to where you look.) ColourMatrix.fx (Makes the terrain look more photo real to me but removes a lot of red) Vibrance.fx (I use this to bring back colour a little after enabling ColourMatrix) Clarity.fx (This makes things really pop out but can look too noisy if you already have a lot of in game sharpening already applied.) Note however the Blooming_HDR.fx can look a little odd in some night time conditions and outstanding in others. I mostly just turn ReShade off at night but one can experiment with making a separate preset for when its dark. There is a nice review of the Blooming_HDR.fx Here Screenshots just don't do it justice but here are some comparison screens below with my in game with sharpening set at 0.2 and Gamma at 2.2. Ive also attached my current ReShade preset below. Hope this helps some of you Default: ReShade: Default: ReShade: Default: ReShade: Default: ReShade: Day Mixed.ini

+1 here as well. Recently got back in to flying the Gazelle and the fps problems have been doing my head in. I've just discovered before finding this thread that it only happens with the “L” version. The periscope always on, sound like a plausible explanation. Has there been any feedback on this or has anybody managed a work around? EDIT: Ok, I've double checked and it is definitely is caused by the periscope always rending the view ahead! A temporary solution is to hop in to the left seat before take off and aim the periscope above the horizon so that it sees no terrain during normal flight. At least in that way your not getting a fps hit until you actually use the sight. I know its not a solution but it eases some of the frustration when flying the L version for me at least.

Has anybody optimised the cockpit textures for the SA342 Gazelle? I would be grateful if you could share.

Those pics are still cashed on the internet it seems or they would be lost for good. It's a shame he never released them, I was really looking forward to them.

They are not mobile, but here some ideas from a mod that never materialised by DrummerNL that the OH-6 would look great on.

Low level Stratus 5.6 and 7 The Alto Cumulus presets look fantastic too. The Cirrus clouds are a little to transparent for my taste however, so I've popped in the stock cirrus.fx back in. Nice job

Thanks, I was trying to restore the Cirrus.fx in Bazar\shaders\clouds and it must be redundant. Thanks

Oh, I've just downloaded V3 and noticed my favourite preset from V2 "low level stratus 4" is missing or changed? Any chance you could add it back in the future? I've also noticed the default Cirrus clouds have been disabled for all presets? I'm quite fond of the default Cirrus, but never liked the blank it loads between the different sets after they fade out. What do I have to edit to get them back?
