It's pretty much complete but I want to wait until the next DCS update to see if it breaks (or fixes) anything. So release in couple days. Wow! Just saw this now, is it still maintained? 1
YSIAD_RIP Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Taz1004 is active in the community with other Mods he has made and has kept them updated. So far there has been no need to update the latest v6 of the Better Trees Mod. But yeah... WOW, the trees really help Caucasus look better. I can only offer "Conspiracy Theories" as to why Eagle Dynamics has not adopted the Better Trees Mod into the Core game. 1 Do not own: | F-15E | JF-17 | Fw 190 A-8 | Bf 109 | Hardware: [ - Ryzen7-5800X - 64GB - RX 6800 - X56 HOTAS Throttle - WINWING Orion 2 F16EX Grip - TrackIR 5 - Tobii 5C - JetPad FSE - ]
Bucic Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I've been away from DCS for years. It's not related to textures specifically but... isn't there scale of the trees completely off?! The seem too high to me. In any case, well done and thank you for your work! The trees is an example of an absolutely shoddy work on ED's part, topped on my list only by sky color banding and the @%$@ hardcoded bloom effect. 2 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Stratos Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 I would kill for Marianas map trees on Caucasus, so we can have something similar to a tropical envinroment!! 3 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 One question @Taz1004 Would be possible to have only deciduous trees on the map, and replace the pine trees with the deciduous ones? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

nws9140 Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 Hey how are you doing? Quick question and bare with me (just found this mod and I'm new to using OvGME). Just wanted to ask what is the installation route for OvGME. Is it OvGME Mod Manager\DCS Root Install and then put folder Taz 1004_Better_Trees_v6_Dark (or name of folder) into the DCS Root or would it be the vfstextures folder going into the DCS Root folder? Hope that makes sense. I appreciate what you do and thank you for your help in advance.

Under Config - Edit Current. The path you set for "Configuration mods folder". Just drop the zip file of this mod into that folder. And then enable the mod.

Picchio Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 Beloved @Taz1004, just a wee reminder that the Channel (especially winter) map is still waiting for your intervention...
Johnny Dioxin Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 I'm just downloading these to have a first look, but not sure I'll try them all as I initially intended - the downloads are at low ADSL transfer speeds so it takes a long time for a single 46MB file. Don't know where they are located - currently 77kbps on my fibre connection which should have them down in a few seconds. Shame, but still - thanks for doing them, heard nothing but good comments so this will be the first mod I've used since DCSW 2.5 (excepting aircraft) because default Caucasus in VR looks dire.

YSIAD_RIP Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 I am in Canada and just tested the download of the Better Trees V6. Took 5 seconds. Do you have a VPN running or can you try downloading using another browser? 1 Do not own: | F-15E | JF-17 | Fw 190 A-8 | Bf 109 | Hardware: [ - Ryzen7-5800X - 64GB - RX 6800 - X56 HOTAS Throttle - WINWING Orion 2 F16EX Grip - TrackIR 5 - Tobii 5C - JetPad FSE - ]
Red_Pilot Posted February 2, 2024 Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) Hello @Taz1004 ! Thank you so much for the great tree mod! Excuse me, I'm probably asking too much, but... is there a chance to get an additional winter tree option in the future? In winter, in countries with a warm climate (including Caucasus), they can often be dark (dark brown?) rather than white (also, even in colder countries, trees can often look like this in winter) In addition, we now have a Barthek mod with snowless winter ..

Rename the json files in the archives with new tree files for winter to forestsubctratewinter and trees7winter. Enjoy.

Leg2ion Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 Hi @Taz1004. Just looking at your tree mods - and noticed in the downloads there are two 'normal' uncompressed folders (Noisewinter and Noisewinter.min). What are these for - as cannot find similar folders in the DCS textures folders?

That's because DCS uses first the no-zip files before it uses zipped, install them and if you find trees are too white (snow) don't use them (erase) 1
