Got worst textures with 1.5.7 version than previous 1.5.6.5199 Upd 4

[Hamilton]

Dear friends,

 

After updating to 1.5.7 yesterday night and start a simple A-10C Instant Action mission (Medium-West Georgia -Winter),the big surprise...

The scenery,textures (ground,trees,water,montain) was uglier,horrible, compared to my previous 1.5.6.5199 Upd 4 version and with 104th Terrain Texures Package v1.21,it was simply perfect with settings everything maxxed out,I was fully satisfied.

With the cockpit I had no problems,I use the RICARDO's HORSE of WAR mod and it was fine but the exterior was horrible.

Well, I reverted back to previous 1.5.6.5199 Update 4 using the DCS Updater but I´d like to know if any of you had the same issue with this new version.

 

I thank you in advance for any input,

 

Best Regards,

 

Hamilton

With 1.5.7. the Winter mission finally is really winter. When I played it on 1.5.6. it was summer or autumn/fall.

 

Is this the "ugly" you mean:

Thanks for the answer! More or less...Your first pic is just a little better but as I said,that instant mission was close to montains and trees and it was really ugly.

I understand what you mean about now is more "winter" like,but in my opinion with those ugly textures I still prefer the previous one even being more unrealistic.

You can see some fine winter textures in other sims like P3D or X-plane,but that 1.5.7 winter texture I saw yesterday and those pics above are not good or realistic either. That's my opinion of course.

 

Regards,

I know what you mean^^ I have seen some amazing winter landscapes on Prepar3D v3 and v4 and X-Plane 11. Have to find out how to get them myself as I enjoy flying non-combat from time to time in XP11 as well.

 

ED could just add more snow to the textures instead of some small white patches that we have at the moment. Other than that I have noticed that the A-10C free flight ramp start was fixed too. In 1.5.6 you were engulfed in "fog" whereas now the scenery has no issues and it looks perfect. They even added some ground crew for you.

Exactly! :thumbup:

Great! Good to know, but by now I´ll stick with 1.5.6.5199, when I figure out how to change only the textures I´ll update again.

Hopefully with the new terrain coming in 2.5 the textures will be improved..:D

ZeeMan, unless I'm mistaken, Hamilton is talking not about stock textures, but Mustang's mod, so you both are kind of discussing two different things :D

 

Hamilton, older versions of Mustang's mod are not compatible with 1.5.7. Are you sure you downloaded his July the 12th package?

Hi Art-J,

 

No,ZeeMan is right,I´m talking about the 1.5.7 stock winter textures.

 

Thanks, but as I said in my first post, I´m already using the v1.21 from Jul 12th.,very good indeed :thumbup:

Mustang said himself that the mod won't pass IC right now. Nothing you can do.

And here I am just twiddling my thumbs waiting on my joystick to get back from repair.

Hey amigo, how did you update to the previous vers? Cause I'm over this one big time.. nothing but dramas since I updated... poor quality scenery, missions crashing to Windows, missions failing to start, screens flashes when starting missions, screen going blank for a few secs, missions needing two clicks to start etc etc . Totally over it man, I had not one issue before this new update. Yea it may look fancy schmancy but it's woeful! I would be very grateful if you could explain how to revert back to the good ole previous version. Thanks kindly, cheers G

[panther494th]

hope we get a update ie fix

[GazAce]

Yea, I tried a cmd cleanup and repair but to no avail. All missions crash beyond 3-1-0 in GH with CA. Oh well, I sent off a help mesg and the crash log to ED, maybe they'll find out what the story is. Like I said in my previous post, it's a shame because those old GH missions were really good to cut your teeth into and really get a feel for your AC and they weren't easy either. I loved em and I was looking forward to doing them all over again with CA, and there's like 30 odd so it's a really awesome Campaign. Oh well, there's other stuff to keep me occupied I spose.

Re: previous vers and GH with CA

 

I think I'll leave it alone and I'm now pretty sure it's the actual Campaign itself and not the Update that's causing the issue. I opened a single mission 5-1 I think and it worked ok but then tried another 13-1 or 13 can't remember now but that caused DCS to crash so I'm thinking the missions them selves have errors. It's pretty weird as all the other missions like River Raider, In The Weeds, Hideout etc work fine as was GH. Anyhow, thanks again, case kinda closed I guess.

Sorry GazAce, just saw your question now, glad they already answered you,I´ve used exactly that link kylekatarn720 gave you.

Push missions with CA freakin me out

 

Hey thanks kindly Hamilton, appreciate that man.

I know I said I would leave this alone but I just couldn't help myself. I found something interesting with these Georgian Hammer missions with CA saga that's been rackin my brain lately. And now I'm not so sure if it's related to the latest update but anyway I'm thinking that this fault may have been there for some time. So, I'm hoping someone can try to launch the missions in question just to see if they in fact do start ok. This is what I found...

I went through each of the Push missions, trying to load and start each one. I discovered all of the Push missions on their own without CA worked and launched perfectly but the push missions with CA were a different story.. the ones with X next to them crashed to Windows, missions without an X launched perfectly.

CA Push 0-0

As you can see most crashed to Windows but some launched ok which is kinda weird. I also rechecked the ones that launched and found they were consistent in starting. Not sure why this happens but I sent it all off to ED with dcs.log and my system diag so we'll see what they say I guess but I'm sure perplexed as to why some launch and most don't.
