its miracle that ed stock terrain is so bad. :)

 

The stock terrain textures are just outdated - that's all. :)

The post-1.5 stock one's were based on may 2015 edition of Mustang's mod, so they were not outdated really. But the recent additions from Starway and Barthek raise the bar much higher indeed.

Starway try to limit the addition of "fake" detail. It's looking good in the pictures but for people that flies low or with big height variations or people that simply use a lot of zooming in and out the immersion is broken quickly and once broken the "magic" is gone and all we see are dots everywhere.

 

Start by using a blank full green texture for noise1... see how bad it looks and what it needs and only add as little as necessary. Like you added in the last 1.1 version those ridge/river kind of lines... but losing a bit on the dots and fake bushes etc.

I disabled all the HD building textures since there is a horrible popping effect very close to the viewer. Other than that, it looks great for airplane pilots...

 

I don´t see any popping at all. Must be a problem on your end.

Thanks for the update.

 

I have a question about the trees - I really don't like them. When flying around low in a helicopter, I'm finding they look worse than the default trees, but I don't recall seeing them like that in Matt's promo video.

these are how my defaults look:

Have I got a setting wrong or do they look like this, close and at low level?

Set shadows to medium, your trees dont have shadows so thats why they look bad

And your AA is overkill, set it lower so you get more fps even high shadows :)

L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.
