I am still adding some modifications here and there. Once I consider the mod fully finished, I'll try to create the LOW set of textures for those struggling with performance. It is a time-consuming task, therefore I want to be sure I'm dealing with the final version of the mod.

 

That would be amazing, thanks in advance!

Amazing. Espeazialy the SNOWLESS WINTER edition…

…Do you think it's possible to place a closed snowpack in the Highlands or just in the highest mountains (all above 6-7k feet)?

but I can understand that it would require major interventions in the code (only from ED...)

It would be great, if he could, since there are numerous glaciers in those mountains. So those, at least, would be there through all seasons.

I was reluctant towards mod managers in the past too, but I would very strongly recommend them (OvGME in my case) now. Easy to use, save, and for mods like this almost mandatory.
Actually OvGME does nothing other than copying files to the right location (this is probably where you messed up), but it keeps track and saves backups of the files it replaces and swaps them back if necessary. Also like Morpheus said, it's much easier to reapply after an update.

I finally broke down and downloaded OvGME and now I don't know how I lived without it, or this mod!  Thank you Barthek, looks great!

Just out of curiosity - why have you deviated from the default value (which is 2.2 if I'm not mistaken)? Doesn't that call for trouble, since the gamma also affects the cockpit?
Don't get me wrong - I don't experience problems with your mod and I love it, I'm just curious.

@Barthek In the recent announcement ED specifically mentioned that they reworked the lighting and shadows and calibrated it to work best with a gamma of 2.2. Since they felt the need to emphasize this, it‘s probably rather impactful. I assume that may affect your work?

just tried. how do i get this working on Multiplayer

I don't think you can, unless the MP server accepts mods = no integrity check.

People have raised their concerns whether or not the MOD passes IC in multiplayer. Well, I've just tested it on the BUDDYSPIKE BLUE FLAG server and it allowed me to hop in. You just need to go directly to multiplayer and choose the server after launching DCS (an anoying solution but hey - it works!) I hope you'll enjoy the colours, tones and blending of this release and have a lot of fun flying over Caucasus!

I have done further testing and can get it to pass IC if i use OVGME

However when the game loads onto a server when the roll selection should load it just goes black

Barthek and Taz, making Caucuses great again:

[Hiob]

Tbh, Caucasus can look really awesome sometimes with those tweaks. Don't get too close to "cities" put the right amount of clouds and time of day and it looks really marvelous!

(and a tiny bit of sharpening and contrast via reshade helps DCS in general to get rid of the annoying haze)

If you check your DCS.log file after said black screen, you'll see that once the textures load in that it is in fact getting flagged by IC which is why it doesn't load. 

Barthek himself confirmed it no longer passes IC unfortunately. It's a fantastic addition though, and OVGME at least makes it easy to use it when flying single-player.

It seems in new beta 2.8  model of hangars changed, so now it looks like texture missing . Will it be hangar textures bug fix for your mod version of 2021 ? (i use caucasus redone 2021 cause i think its  more balanced in textures colors than 2022 ). Thanks !

Missing textures on hangars after 2.8 with 2022 mod.

Thank you!

[fagulha]

I like the new hangar interior textures, ED improved it finally, look awesome. I just don´t like them 100% because of the text on the back wall (rather have them without text) and missing night lights although the light object is present and probably will have light in a future update like they did now to the test bench with PG.

Hope you can update your file because i only started to fly again in Caucasus because of you

 

Best regards,

F.

Hello guys,

I'll be adjusting the mod to 2.8 standards this week. 

Stay tuned!

Barthek

[SMN]

I think there may be a problem because the terrain.cfg.lua file is now crypted (terrain.cfg.lua.pak.crypt)

[PLUTON]

Hi Mr BARTHECK thank you for your work
I have already been flying for a very long time with your Mod
so I look forward to your upgrade to 2.8
I wish you good work.
Take care of you.

No one said it would be easy.

That's the attitude!

I recently found out about the mod, and downloaded it today. D'oh Good luck re-modding it Will wait patiently till it's fixed.

powodzenia!

Playing with reshade at the same time:

 

[Tenebrae Aeternae]

Reshade is the bees knees with DCS. With only minor adjustments it goes from "ok" looking to absolutely stunning.

[Blazkovitch]

Please, please, please publish your reshade settings together with the mod  Pieknie prosimy! 

[Zyll]

Just a small note, running this mod prevented the Halloween pumpkin lights at the airfields from rendering (they were the usual taxiway lights).

Yeah I was confused too, lol.
