@Taz1004You should get a salary from ED already, like literally everything you make is essential.

And they should be included in core as options and pass as IC safe!!!!!

Awesome Taz

[ST0RM]

Great work! Looks beautiful.
How does it effect the FPS?

[aceviper]

Taz doing essential optimization.

Looks much better and life like.

One thing about fps on this map is the heavy hit from building LOD.

Recommend  turning down scenery detail factor a bit to make it smoother.

0.74 on a 3090

Any plans for further improvement by reducing their height or changing patches of them to underbrush? The trees around Andersen are so high they encroach upon the approach paths, and in real life should be knee-high shrubbery instead of trees anyways. Same for NW Field and Tinian's North Field.

Not possible.

what the actual f* ... where's all my text gone o_O

Let me try to re-add this:

I wanted to point out that, even though all textures which are present in the original DCS zip file (for instance: "BurfordHolly_ShrubSingle.zip"), also exists in Barthek's mod. But the ones from Barthek are older. So, to me that makes this mod outdated. Maybe it's still usable and of better quality, but I don't know. I'm no texture artist.

First pic is Barthek's, second pic is 2.9.1 stable:

First, the mod comes from Taz1004 not from Barthek. 

Second, if the mod still works and has better quality then the timestamp of the files doesn't matter. Even if ED has modified just a tiny detail within the files the timestamp is changed.

Third, if you dissatisfied with the quality of the mod you needn't to use it. If not I don't understand what's your point.
