Mustang's land textures zip file package

[Mustang]

Hello dear Mustang,

 

I'm back and there's few minutes I've installed your last version and for me it's really perfect, the grass id really awesome.

Congratulation +1

 

Excellent :thumbup:

 

Just something to add, I've recently discovered a shader in Reshade that works wonders, especially if like me you use MSAA x4 with no adaptive AA or SSAA - It's called HQ4X (these are the parameters i use below)

 

 

This shader really helps with any shimmering/crawling/flashing of pixels that come with MSAA, mostly with the trees and grass textures, it also softens the image and makes it look more natural.

 

There is also no impact on FPS with this shader, i highly recommend trying it.

It's just a bit laggy to me with the mod. Anyone else? I'd appreciate any tips. I don't think it's my computer. Can't be...

 

Bless ya for the excellent work!

I had no problems with Jets (not while taxiing or approach) but I have framelosses while flying with chopper (tested with the Gazelle). After disabling the mod the frames were ok again.

Not sure what could be causing your framerates problems guys, I've been developing this mod on a pretty modest mid-range PC and have been very mindful of FPS, infact the people i fly with actually report very good performance using this mod.

 

I wonder if you guys have something else forced on your graphics card, like Adaptive AA or Supersampling?

[M0ltar]

Mustang, do you mind posting your preset file for reshade so we can share in your goodness or do you only run this one shader?

I just tested again on a multiplayer server with the Gazelle and first had no problems.

 

But just after I switched on the Monitor for target acquiring the frames dropped from 56 frames down to 33 frames. Sound not bad but the head movement with TrackIR is realy choppy now.

 

Without the mod I have (when hovering 10 meters above ground) 98 frames and with monitor swicthed on 74 frames.

 

When I fly jets I use the Mirage, the F-5 or the Viggen. None of then have a monitor/FLIR or something that have a magnifying zoom on it. So I doesn't have problems with this modules...?!

 

I'm using a GeForce GTX960 with 4GB memory, standard config (Vanilla) NVidia control panel, no other grafics tool for postprocessing on Windows 10 (without any problems).

I have noticed a frame hit here too, and the tgp is very hard to use (a10c) due to the slightly higher noise setting. The textures are really good though ;)

My problem with GTX960 (or 7970) was - as Mustang mentioned - type of AA rendering (SS, MSAA).

 

I use Nvidia Inspector and set AA to 16x, nothing more (highest AA without any sampling), and if need be (FSX with a 7970) textures to 'performance', my guess it's a driver issue and the VGA memory gets swamped.

It's only all that noticable when flying Helicopters. If It's some configuration stuff then I'll have to look deeprer into it :book:

 

EDIT: It lags in planes too. Just flew low in the MiG-21 and my game froze for a couple of seconds too!

 

EDIT 2: Just ran some basic procedures like disk clean ups, deleting tons of temp files, cleaning up caches etc. AAAAAAND my FPS level went up :-)

Ok, little feedback:

 

You might be aware of this but when flying the heli you could notice some "flying" trees overhanging ridges/mountains etc. plue the terrain jutting out a ridge or a peak of a mountain in some occasions. I know this is common among terrain mods, just wanted to to let you know in case something could be done.

The stock textures also suffer from this bug - the only way to fix this is to totally remove or make the forest 'sub-texture' invisible, or for ED to fix so the texture hugs the terrain like it should (unlikely)

 

edit: you can force the subforest texture to disappear completely with a lua edit, line 26 in your lua of choice (Config\terrain folder)

 

subforest = {0, 0};

Do I have to change the line in all the .lua files in the terrain folder or just in "Ultra" since I'm using ultra settings?

Just the Ultra.lua if that's what you're using.

Sweet it works! :thumbup:

The grass should be working fine, what do you have your clutter set to in your DCS options? For best result put it on max.

hi, i am n00b when it comes to DCS modding. I downloaded the package in the OP and extracted it into my DCS folder. Now my terrain looks very bad. All big blotches like it's stuck on the lowest setting. help me obi wan keforum, you are my only hope!

How to repair or update DCS World?

 

 

Windows Start Menu / All Apps / Eagle Dynamics. Locate the Repair option for the DCS product (version) you wish to repair.

 

Note that you can do both repairs and updates from this location.

 

Cleanup and repair

 

Remove your user mods if you have any, and backup any changes

 

go into your Eagle Dynamics\DCS World [Openalpha,openbeta]\bin folder.

 

There, hold Left Shift and right click and click "Open Command window here."

 

( Windows 10 creators update now uses powershell, type cmd in powershell and then continue )

 

Then, type the following exactly as printed:

 

DCS_updater.exe cleanup

 

this will delete all non official files

 

then do a dcs repair

 

DCS_updater.exe repair

 

You can find the youtube tutorial here:

 

"

 

 

it's a good idea to download and figure out how JSGME.exe works to install mods that can be reversed, you then also know how to properly install mods.

Also keep in mind, whenever Mustang releases a new package, he updates the first post of this thread with a new link, so there's no need to browse last pages to get it.

I've added a few new field textures to the spring terrain set, also tidied up some of the field textures in the summer and autumn zips.

Great Mustang, thanks for this explanation.

Best regards.

I hope you will consider looking at Normandy down the line;) It could really use your touch as well.
