Mav783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Hello, I'm sorry to up this thread. But, i just wanna say how crazy is the (simple ?) mod from Mustang about increasing the texture rendering in DCS ! So, an existential question came to my mind : why Eagle Dynamics don't make the same and adopt this change ? If it's "simply" a moddification in an .lua file, why not ? It's maybe very fast to do, and i will increase the experience of everyone ! I also didn't noticed any FPS changement... Look : This is really, really better... Thanks Mustang ! So, i have a question for Mustang, if you accept to anwser it, don't feel forced : can you say to me what is the line code you changed in the "terrainoptions41.lua" file to get this ? I wanna play and try different values with this, for personal use only. If you know where is the line to increase the visual range (terrain, world view distance) i take it also ;) Thanks ++ Edited January 22, 2019 by Mav783
Tiramisu Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 can you say to me what is the line code you changed in the "terrainoptions41.lua" file to get this ? You can easily find this out yourself, if you use the Compare-Plugin in Notepad++ (for installing it you can use the plugin manager). Try it! :)
Mav783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Hooo i didn't see this compare tool ! Thank you :D
Mav783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I really don't undertsand why ED don't do the same, it's a mod in only one .lua file...And it will increase hardly the texture quality for everyone, without risking a integrity check. With the same FPS... Also for the "repetition stripes" mod, that is not already fixed, but was fixed by Mustang long time ago. But i'm scared that this mod (repetition) don't work well, cause ED updated lot of textures since this mod was created by Mustang. ++
sc_neo Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 But it is more demanding on your gpu. I tried this mod myself and it seems to need more vram on your gpu. I am still stuck on my amd 7870 2gb and this little fix makes nttr unplayable for me. But, ED surely sure make this an additional graphics setting in game for everyone thats not sitting on such a low vram gpu like myself.

rrohde Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I do not understand why ED does not add to the base game this incredible MOD. Thank you Mustang! Just to reiterate - why isn't this done by ED in-house in an official capacity, since this seems to be a known issue?

This TWO mods should be done by ED ! :D The one that fix the "grid effect/repetition stripes" (in.zip) don't pass the integrity check...can not play online with it. ED need to wake up about this ! And we all know it is fixable :D The cosmetic one, that increase the quality/def of the ground texture pass it :) Edited January 23, 2019 by Mav783

ron533 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Does the file name extensions has to be changed to DDS only in the OB and coming release version, as in Caucasus terrain (i.e. xx.tif.dds -> xx.dds) ?? Or it does not matter? Thanks! Callsign SETUP

j-tk Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Pulls ring from pocket, Mustang, will you be my Terrain wife?
aceviper Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Yep this mod is essential for Nevada. Tested after todays update. Makes DCS world even nicer and you wouldnt notice any fps hit!
Esac_mirmidon Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Is more on the RAM usage side, is fairly noticeable the increase in RAM used. But no FPS hits. " You must think in russian.."

Mustang Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Is more on the RAM usage side, is fairly noticeable the increase in RAM used. But no FPS hits. Yes and as time goes by more and more people are obtaining cards with more VRAM so it's not that much of an issue anymore.
Esac_mirmidon Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Well i dont know if a 1080 with 8G VRAm + 16G RAM DDR3 is enough to handle or not. Thats my config and is running this mod really fine. Never happen to me a crash because running out of memory. Also im using process lasso at the start of any MP mission to clear some RAM and handle the session. Runs great for me, and my PC is outdated, i5 2500K so... " You must think in russian.."

Nealius Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Will this mod work with JSGME or other mod managers?
Mustang Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Will this mod work with JSGME or other mod managers? Personally I haven't tried but I reckon it should work fine.
cabzi Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Will this mod work with JSGME or other mod managers? Yes, it does. On a side note, haven’t come across a mod, that wouldn’t work. i7-6850K | GTX1080 | 32GB DDR4 | Windows 10 Pro
Nealius Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Yep, can confirm it works. Though the mod cuts my framerates in half at Nellis. Oh well.
Mustang Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Yep, can confirm it works. Though the mod cuts my framerates in half at Nellis. Oh well. That'll be your GTX1050Ti taking a hammering, maybe time to treat yourself to a beefier graphics card :)
Nealius Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 That's what I was thinking. One of these days...1080Ti is still $800-$1k here in Japan, and the RTX2070 is $600+.
