Barthek's CAUCASUS REDONE 2022


Recommended Posts

That's true. Try playing with the noise1PerSquare parameter. The higher it is, the better the texture should look at low altitude. The smaller it is, the better the texture looks at high altitude. Try adjusting it to your liking ;).

Sure!

 

So this is the main texture knows as noise_1. It covers the whole map and serves as a foundation for other textures (cities, villages, fields, etc). The parameter noise1PerSquare determines how big that texture is in your sim. The greater the value, the smaller the texture. The smaller the texture, the greater detail it has when flying slow and low. But it has one major drawback - the higher you get, the more visible becomes the problem of texture repetition. You start seeing the same characteristic elements of the texture repeated (some cracks, patches of different saturation/colour, etc.) every few kilometers.

This is the texture known as landnoise and it is determind by the parameter noise2PerSquare. It can be adjusted almost the same way as the noise_1.  You can see this texture start popping through the noise_1 texture as you get closer to the ground. It's purpose is to make the ground look more detailed by adding additional noise to it.

My idea was to make noise_1 as big as possible to avoid the problem of repetition at high altitudes, preserving at the same time its quality. Going lower should activate landnoise texture, giving noise_1 some nice noise. That's the theory. It still need some more tweaking as you can see, tho. 😉

Noise_1  with value 1.5 looks quiet good.
but looking trough  landnoise for autumn it looks like this:

Disregard that. I accidentally included two folders in the release version, named: LandNoiseAutumn and LandNoiseSpring. These two should not have made it to the release package (you can as well delete them). DCS uses the files from LandNoiseSummer for both Spring and Autumn.

PS, does this latest package include the spring and summer textures from before?

Persian Gulf has totally different climate comparing to Afghanistan.

Please read my request properly, I'm a geographer, I know about the different climates and different terrains, Thanks.

Yea, it's been so long since Afghanistan map module was discussed, that I don't think we can be certain its in development, or even got started. Last I heard of it, was when the Syria map was first announced... that's a long time ago now in "DCS years"!

Its listed as in development on TheBattleSim  website, as well as Crimea and a few other maps....

Edit:  Not sure why it nuked my text, but for IC it was flagging HAS_shelter.dds and HAS_shelter2.dds.  Re-packing with the original versions corrected the IC fail.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo: Re-attached zip since the structure was wrong and caused missing textures.

Hi Barthek,

 

The runways at Beslan and Sukhumi are too dark. Any way to fix this?

Same. While not entirely realistic, it certainly added variety. Hope this won't be "fixed" 🙂 

 

 

 

I think it's too dark. The real runways aren't black asphalt like that unless they've been freshly resurfaced. Belsan was resurfaced in 2012 based on the satellite imagery and it was only black for a short period of time. Here's how they look now.
