Yep, the same, I uninstalled this mod after the last Syria update so few weeks ago.
@Barthek where are you?

The cartoon aliens have arrived...

I have the same graphic anomalies throughout the Syria map

[dlder]

I'm just going through all of Barthek textures and Syria is a BIG difference! (for example HardSplatColor.zip)

• 2.9 - 27 textures - 61 MB
• Barthek - 22 textures - 34 MB

So, yes, DCS will work with this texture pack, but you will loose original content!! So an update is actually very much needed imho!

And I do hope one is coming soon, because I'm like you: once you go Barthek, you can never go back (this and Taz^^).

 

@Barthek Thanks again for your great work! But can you plz give some insights? Am I wrong, or are you hopefully working on an 2.9 update? Cheers!update:

If you use OVgme you don´t loose any core files (with a click you can enable/disable the Barthek terrain mod textures).

Yes you do because how OVGME works is: it just replaces the ZIP files (well before that it backs up the current ones).

So, all textures not present in the modded zip file that is copied by OVGME to DCS are - of course - lost.

So, what´s the point of using Ovgme?

OVGME does the following:

1. Takes the original DCS-files and stores them.

2. Add the mod files into the correct DCS folder(s)

3. If you like to revert back to vanilla DCS, you just click a button and OVGME will automatically delete the mod files and put the original DCS files back again.

Highly recommended if you use any mods.

OVGME can't - of course - help with a broken mod. However, it makes it easy to deactivate the broken mod and revert back to vanilla without any losses.

I noticed the missing textures in "Vivid Syria", but haven't noticed any problems with "Caucasus Redone" (yet). Which is always the first Mod I re-enable after any game updates.

I use OVgme for some years, i was trying to understand the reply of @dlder.

But thanks.

After comparing the mod and DCS files I modified the HardSplatColor file in the mod, I deleted the Unique.zip file after copying the textures, I haven't tested it yet if you want to I'll make the zip file available.

True; I couldn't find any new/modified ED files, so this one's good to go.

Thanks so much for this. It works like a charm. I never liked those washed-out Syria textures.

Don't know, I don't use JSGME since OvGME exist (more simple, mod folder can be anywhere in your pc) you can make a try, just unzip mod wich is zipped by OvGME and can be unusable in JSGME if you don't do this

I've just tested it. Works just fine with jsgme. 

Those annoying artifacts on the ground are gone. Thanks a lot sir!

Yep this fine works via jsgme!

[Razorback]

Is somebody test this mod with the last update of DCS (merged DCS versions & update Syrian map) ?

Thxxxxx

[Razorback]

This mod doesn't seem to have worked since the "merged" version of DCS.
Bartek, can you confirm this?
Can we imagine a "corrective" update?
