I didn't convert the png's, but I can confirm that the time lag when loading the liveries, but it's not the only one, some mods (aircraft, tech) also have this lag.
I don't know if this has any impact once the mission starts

 

Thanks Tanuki44, It doesn't seem to affect the mission as such so not a big deal really, I did not see it in any other mods I use but if others are affected then it might be a recent game issue, I have noticed a couple of other small hiccups since the last update.  

Its a cracking little aircraft so I can live with it.

OK, I am in love with this.  It'll never replace the A-4, but having a period correct AFAC, and the coming Skyraider, the world is getting better and better.

Is it perfect?  No, but hey, nothing in beta-testing phase ever is.  I am just thankful someone with the skill set to work on this is doing it.  Looking forward to having working radios.

To the guys at Split Air, merci!

hi, I have reshade installed and my fps when starting Bronco have droped to 2-3. Known issue?

I doubt it has something to do with reshade. I use reshade too, and noticed nothing weird. It eats 1-2 fps when activated (depending on the settings you use), and gives them back when deactivated.

However, the Bronco itself seems quite demanding. I have significantly less fps with it than with other aircraft. Even in the Caucasus. A loss of estimated 20-30%.

I suspect most people are noticing fps drops with this mod, its got a huge texture signature which must be having an impact.

However, its early days, give the guys at Split Air time to sort these things out, they will get there.

We are all noticing how long it takes for the Bronco cockpit and then the airfield to become loaded in any mission we have it in, it also eats up about 3-5 fps online in a mission I have been running for years, when I added the Bronco in we had some FPS drops, but its a great mod and we all like flying it

According to a post on Discord, the cockpit texture is in 2K, so I guess this is why there is a frame rate drop.

Thanks Ed!

 

One more thing to do.

Take all your converted textures and zip them up.

Place ONLY the zip files in the two locations.

Re-name to what you see in this lua file.

Then, Use the entry lua below.

This is how ED does it.

The zips not only save space, It is how the sim expects to see them.

See if this helps even more.

Cheers!

LOVE the mod!

There was more than one error!

Corrected. Same attachment above.

Same instructions.

Names are corrected.

Taken using the above entry lua, just now.

Thanks Urbi

A couple of us had noticed the lack of wheel animation, and other small issues, we assume they will fix these things as they progress with the mod.

I understood your point about the textures but all of that is controlled by the edm and I have no access to that, so technically there is nothing I can do to fix that.  I have seen that with several new mods recently, the description.lua's are MASSIVE with many lines being duplicated multiple times, which cant help performance one bit, so yes I understand what you are saying.  Only the authors can fix that, I would not know how to fix it even if I could access it.  I wonder if its a Blender issue, but again I dont know what Software they are using so I'm just speculating.

My aim was to see if I could improve areas that I could access and I think I managed that, its just tinkering around the edges for now but at least the Split Air guys can see what issues we have identified, and that will be a good thing I'm sure. 

Nobody is reporting an improvement in performance from what I did so I guess it didnt work, so I wont bother with the liveries.

Sorry for not reporting sooner .. on my PC the OV-10A fps remained the same after I replaced the original textures with your own, but in actual use the Mod does feel smoother, particularly when moving my virtual head inside the cockpit, so for me your Mod of the Mod is a keeper 🙂 at least until the Mod's author releases his own optimizations. Cheers.

Your mods of the mods are expired now, is there a way you can upload them again? 🙂

Another thing: is someone planning to make a green/grey Euro Camo skin for the bronco? I think they looked badass.
