CGTC - textures overhaul mod for the Caucasus map

[Scotty Rotten]

Seconded.

[Bucic]

Just a heads up - you may be misled into thinking a terrain mod (this or that) is causing a performance drop for you. You may actually be experiencing this

Also a reminder: MSAA is currently broken.

I usually fly the A-10CII, however often dabble in helicopters like the Kiowa, Apache, and Chinook. The FPS in helicopters near forested areas really takes a hit, especially in helicopters!

Feel free to include your modless track along with specs and DCS.log.

@LucShepthis looks awesome and I will test it out asap.

A little question regarding map-textures:

Would it be possible to only swap runway + taxiway-textures on the marianas-wwII map to more modern runways, say 1960'ish style runways and leave the Rest unchanged?

What would be a simple and easy route to do this?

 

Cheers,

@LucShep pretty please? It would be really cool to have fitting runway-textures on the WW-II marianas for the timeframe 1960. I would just need to know what is needed to be changed where...

Hi there.

I don't run the Marianas map (pretty bad performance and of very little interest to me, ended up deleting it), so unfortunately I can't help you there.

But my guess is that anyone with basic modding and 2D texturing skills will be able to easily do it.
It's a matter of finding the respective textures inside the texture packages, then adapt and repackage the new ones.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply.

I was looking around in the texture folders, vfs and vfs_min and only found mask-textures and no "real" textures. I was hoping you could point me in a direction to find the "real" textures so I can set to work. And may-be shed some light as to how things are set-up for maps.

I normally only work on aircrafts and find my way around there decently now but never have touched maps...that's why so many noob-questions

Cheers and thanks a lot

That's what I get If I try to swap airports.

 @PeeJott17 and @Stratos doesn't seem related to CGTC. 
If the subject is Marianas modding, then perhaps better open a separate thread for it?
 

[Stratos]

You're right, sorry.

Been flying a bit more on the retextured Caucasus lately and have to say: Very good job @LucShep

Looks really really good and more like a normal environment. The kind of "artificial" atmosphere is pretty much gone.
