Caucasus Texture DLC by Starway - Donation page is online

I'm getting a lot of shimmer/flickering from the grass. Is there a way too reduce it? My fps are also slightly reduced by about 15.

Haukka81 - thanks for the tips, I'll give it a try.

Though ref the AA - I've not had any framerate issues up to now, but might need to bear that in mind when my Rift arrives.

UPDATE 2.0 released!

 

Dear Simmers, I am happy to announce the release of the second update for this DLC. This time it is really huge. Almost every texture has been retouched. Specially the noise, fields and mountais are completely new based on the feedback I received.

Fantastic update! Thanks, Starway! :thumbup:

Here is the new torrent / magnet link:

Thanks ! Downloading and seeding soon as i get this :thumbup:

V.2

My experience with the 2.0. Loving it! Thanks Starway!

Can't wait 'til ED releases 2.5 and I apply this DLC!

Thanks Starway.

After some testing, I guess it's back to 1.1 for me. The smooth and bland look of new textures is a bit of a letdown, though I guess I could try to change something with these noise parameters everyone was talking about a couple of pages back. I understand A-10C owners feedback, but since I don't have it, spotting tanks on this TV-something device is non-existent factor for me :D.

Much bigger problem is a very noticeable performance hit though - I guess my old GTX780 just isn't good enough for these and increasing noise is going to make things even worse. I wonder if it's possible to combine 2.0 runways, roads etc. with 1.1 everything else. Never tried mixing, will have to take a closer look into the folders.

Thanks for continuous modding work anyway!

v.2 autumn.

Mister Starway:

1- It sould be better to reach your download url at page N°1

2-Your blog is not updated.

Hey man!

Hey, just wanted to say:

This is just great! Its a great improvement for the FLIR, the NOE flying looks great and the additional scenic little streams and valleys are perfect.

Thanks so much, finally back to the Evil Within!

Hi Starway !

Just a little remark. Mountains seen from far show snow but when you come closer your photorealistic texture without snow appear. It's a bit annoying, specially on the highest mount of the map:

Do you think it's possible to do something ?

Yes, please can this be fixed?

You should download it and try it out for yourself. You can always go back to a previous version.

Version 2.0 textures are amazing but I have performance issue. As I use low textures so I compared all config files and there isn't changed any thing except one setting which don't make any difference. I don't know why I drop FPS.

I have a GTX 770 and it struggles. Try it for yourself but I have had to revert back to a different terrain due to low fps.

Somehow the embedded video doesn't work, but I found it on youtube for those who are interested:

The new DLC update is using 8K textures which are graphics card demanding. That might be the reason why you feel a performance hit.

Best,

Rgr that. Suggestion For You then - keeping the links for both versions, over here and on Your blog, so that everyone can find and get the package he's happy with :).

Can you say roughly how much VRAM is needed for the 8k DLC? If it needs at least 3GB for example, knowing this would save those with only 2GB from trying it.

FYI the stock noise texture is 8k resolution, however i see in the zip files in the newest package that the noise1.bmp is uncompressed and non DDS format which might explain the extra VRAM usage.
