DO you know if your haze fix is currently working after the 2.9 patch?

I just installed it.  I like it!  It does remove the haze and requires a recompile of the shaders.

Hi Taz,

Apologies, it is clear to what to download with the cockpit update : 

UPDATED:  10-26-2023

/CoreMods/aircraft/FA-18C/Textures/FA-18C.zip

/Bazar/World/textures/GBU.zip

 

But not sure what to download on THIS one, since it is not specified:

UPDATED:  10-24-2023

/Bazar/World/textures/AeroWeapons.zip 

Do we need to download the whole Core file ? (this link does not have a updated mark)

 

Optimized Core  (10GB) <<<<<< ...........

Optimized Liveries  (7.2GB)

Optimized Clipmap (5KB)

Do you have a link to the latest? Mine doesn't seem to be working.

[KCOOL]

I suggest a link to each of the latest versions, for each mod, would be easier. Internet bandwidth is not a problem for most people.

Updates to the patches may make things more complicated for most.

Anyway, Thank You Taz for these, amazing as always.

That's what I was doing and what I found is that when some people are not sure which update to download, they just download the whole thing because bandwidth is not a problem for them.  But bandwidth is problem for me.  There is bandwidth limit on Google Drive and I start seeing slow downs browsing my photos.

And then there were people asking me to break down the zip files smaller because 2GB was still too large for them.

I'm hoping that people can list the files by date modified and only download files that are new.  And with previous method, there's also problem of update list getting too long after a while.

Not to hand, am away from my machine at present. I have the file locally. Let md see if I can dig out the relevant post from @Taz1004.

Hiya,

I hope @Taz1004 doesn't mind me sharing this. This is the only file that I have in the MOD archive. Just drop it in bazar/shaders/deferred

Line 78 is the edit.

Delete gazalle textures from the mod.  Check page 6 of this thread.

But do I have to reinstall them every time DCS updates?
Thank you

If you use a mod manager like ovgme then you shouldn't have to (I think). Much easier to enable and disable them then.

Enigma's Cold War server has always let me play with these mods before but it seems to be an issue suddenly. Texture mods are fine but ECW requires Pure Models, does anyone know which of the mods might be causing the problem? I want to retain as many of them as possilble because they've made DCS playable

Hi, 

the team are taking a much closer look at optimising textures, but it will take some time. 

I will mention the IC to the team, but I will be honest I dont think allowing it to pass the pure integrity check is the right thing to do. 

Any news?

Not much

Texture optimisation will take some time, and as suspected allowing the mod to bypass IC isnt going to be possible.

I don't get this using Core.  Is this using lefuneste's cockpit?  If so, I can't fix it as I don't have Apache.  Uninstall it until lefuneste or someone else fixes it.
