Western terrain Mod Version 2


shaggy

Recommended Posts

Sorry for the long delay everyone

 

Here it is! The first version of the Western Terrain 2 Mod!!

First of all i would like to say this:

 

DO NOT INSTALL WITH MODMAN

I repeat

 

DO NOT INSTALL WITH MODMAN

 

This mod has a very simple manual installation. Just unzip the mod zip and read the Read me document and you will be fine.

The mod is designed to work together with the LO-Reload mod and the simmod LO-Reload extension season sets. Just make sure you read the Read me for a correct installation so there won´t be a conflict between the mods.

 

Some points to note.

Lock on is the mother of bitches to mod. I tried many things modifying this sim and nothing has been easy. So with this mod there is some things that might look silly "duplicated textures over a large area covering the ground naming one" but there is really nothing I can do about it. Atleast with the style of terrain i choosed to go with. Maybe in the future i will do a crimea terrain mod which will be easier with less farmlands etc. Mor like the Reload mod but with my flavour.

 

The mod includes all 4 seasons. the winter season is kind of a BETA and im not totaly happy with it. It´s not a rough winter texture. more of a calm cold winter texture. Im thining of doing a hard winter texture aswell.

Nothing more to say really more then that i think the autumn texture looks the best and blends in teh best with other textures, making Flaming Cliffs a new experiance in a way. Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to post thoughts and suggestions after you tested it. Probably most of your thoughts/suggestions won´t be able to do due to how the terrain textures work in Lock On, but i will do my best.

Im doing some PR for the Mig-21 soon to be released for Lock On as well ;)

 

Here are some season pics together with the Mig.

Release at last :pilotfly:

Some things that need fixing IMHO:

1. The summer terrain is too coloured, or the colors are somewhat too bright. Part of this feeling is created by too many imho wheat (summer), grey fields (autumn). If their number is reduced so will be reduced the contrast with the green fields.

2. At some places the same patern of texture is repeated - same looking square pieces of texture form some huge fields.

 

Other than these notes the mod looks great. Good work shaggy, as always :thumbup:

Cheers everyone.

@Topol

I cant do anything about point Nr 2 unless I reduce the number of field textures and replace them with a global grass one. That might work so I will give that a go. I understand the problem with the contras, I will mixture with the ammount of fields and try to reduce the colours. I hope you can bare with me for just a little while before I do it, as I have some other stuff going on. But an update should come soon. Thanks for the input :)

All I would like to see is a heavy heavy Winter background, works very well with all my mods, thanks again Shaggy

 

EDIT: OF COURSE WHEN YOU HAVE TIME :)

when you are outside the lock on map it only uses one texture, then it will look like that. I will make an update were I add grass files to cover these large areas instead. but yes that is normal when you are outside the lock on map.

Marvelous add-on, Shaggy!

 

Had some fun simulating intercept missions over Western Europe.

 

But I miss that lovely Eastern Europe look... Any way to uninstall the pack? :helpsmilie:

 

I've been trying to write some stories for campaigns recently, but it just doesn't look right when I hit FLY and look to those marvelous Autumn textures. It just doesn't look like Russian autumn.

 

I'll have to reinstall my Lock-On in order to get Eastern textures back (probably it will be good, as my FC became a Mod-salad, recently...)?

 

Not your fault, your textures are some of the (or THE) best I've seen, and I'll probably do a sort of switcher or something so I can use it when I want.
