Xxx Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hello Mustang and Accipiter, Thanks for your explanations, yes I've try to forcing the Anti-Aliasing with Nvidia Inspector but it's really an FPS killer. I've tested Anitialiasing - Transparency Supersampling 8X or more but my FPS drop. With 4X my FPS are perfect but the grass flash... Here I show you my settings AA with Nvidia Inspector, please can you tell me if I must change other values from these lines ? Thanks in advance, Skull. I fiddled about with the Nvidia settings, (don't use Inspector) and it doesn't make any difference. To be honest, I never noticed the grass shimmer until you pointed it out. Just looks like a breeze over the prairie?:music_whistling: The overall textures are such a massive improvement on the base, like Mustang says, these are the best we have until DCS do the big upgrade and merge all the maps.

Skulleader Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You know summer starts on 21 June? Esac_mirmidon, yes it's correct. Thanks for your answer +1 I fiddled about with the Nvidia settings, (don't use Inspector) and it doesn't make any difference. Accipiter, please if you don't use Nvidia Inspector please can you give me your Nvidia Settings ? If it's possible please can you make a screenshot of your Nvidia pannel that you use for DCS ? Of course you have reason these ground textures are really the best for DCS. Thanks again for all, Skull.

Esac_mirmidon Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 What i mean is for me is normal that June could be Spring and make the change on July to Summer. Because in the editor you can only change the whole month for season change, not specific days. " You must think in russian.."

Thanks again for all, Skull. Supersampling use native in-game MSAA to work. Nvidia Inspector:Antialiasing Mode: Override Antialiasing Transparancy Supersampling: 2x or 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling If you choose 2x Supersampling>MSAA in game x2 ........................4x Supersampling>MSAA in game x4 Also be aware that those settings depends of your original screen resolution.... 1080p at 4x SparseGrid: it's like trying to render the full scene at 4k....

Mustang Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) WOW Mustang I really like this cracked textures, like a desert but is it for autumn or other seasons ? One more detail perfect for us, awesome. It's for spring summer and autumn, as usual the colour depends entirely on the surface it's sitting on, for example here's how it looks in the spring map Why not see for yourself, this version is now available :) https://www.mediafire.com/?biqlf5388w7dgmz 1.21 18th May Introduced another new noise_small.bmp.dds texture to the package Further tweaked the sharpness of all tree textures.

humptydumpty Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Hi Mustang, I downloaded the latest yesterday and I tried it on the AO server, I can say very nice, the performance hit which I was getting was due to the water which I have made it to low and amazing performance using Medium Visibility Range , but I have noticed one thing, at Sochi Adler on the southern side where the hangars are there were filled with trees now with your mod it seems to be just barren ? I still have to check the area east of Novo / Gelenz if they are without trees. I have trees to 8000 in the settings can't go any higher The other texture mod which I have has those trees.

Stonehouse Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Nice find. Also noticed the default year month and day are in there too and that the editor now allows you to set dates in years like 1944 etc. <edit> ok doesn't seem to work for me - either season or default dates changing. you can also change the 3rd line "ChangeDateBySeason = false" to true in the World.lua here E:\DCS World\Config\World then as you change season in editor it'll change month to suit the season chosen, However if you wanted to portray an Antipodean climate you'd leave as default "false" so you can choose to have summer in Decemeber, winter in June etc...

True, water hit hard the FPS. But i've noticed something, if you choose "ultra" for the visibility range, i have far better FPS than with medium or high setting :doh:.

I'll check the trees, it might be a side effect of the mipmap sharpening that i've been using the past few versions, i'll revert this if it turns out to be the cause thx.

Mustang Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Small update to package (also updated in first post of this thread) http://www.mediafire.com/file/90b9dno9g5f63gv/104th_Terrain_Textures_Package_DCS_World_1.5.x_v1.21_%2821st_May_2017%29.rar - Changed r_for_t.tga texture (forest base texture) in all seasons zips to point based mipmapping, this helps give slightly better detail of texture over a longer distance and helps blend better with the tree textures - Altered terrain.cfg.lua to have more evenly distributed grass amounts on terrain. NOTE: With the expected merge of Nevada and Normandy in the coming days development of this mod will significantly slow down.
