swartbyron Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) Keen to hear other people's thoughts on the new low-detail grass? I'm rather disappointed and feel it looks like the whole map is infested with tall low-resolution weeds that don't seem to fit or blend in. Perhaps it's just me, but I was really happy with the grass before the latest patch. Edited October 30, 2024 by swartbyron 1

I don't believe I've seen (or noticed it before): Most of my flying has been in deserts with not a lot of grass. Is this Afghanistan?

(I normally view the 'unread' list - and missed which forum it was in). Egg and my face are one. Still would love to know where that video was shot. 2
Minsky Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 (edited) Can't say I'm 100% happy with it, but it certainly added character and made the map look less barren & generic. Although there's plenty of room for improvement, especially in colour matching and lighting. Edited October 31, 2024 by Minsky 3 Dima | My DCS uploads
Eugel Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 To be honest, that looks pretty good to me. Might actually install that map again now... 4
AlpineGTA Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 I like it. I took a drive around in VR in a Bradley (I know not the most commonly done thing in a flight simulator!), it felt very immersive and looked great. 3 i5-11600K CPU, 64GB DDR4 RAM, XFX Speedster MERC319 AMD Radeon 6900 XT, Oculus Quest 2, HP Reverb G2
swartbyron Posted October 31, 2024 Author Posted October 31, 2024 It seems the older I get, the less I like change. The initial shock threw me yesterday when I saw these tall green things everywhere, but I'll get used to the new look of the grass I suppose. 1
swartbyron Posted November 3, 2024 Author Posted November 3, 2024 (edited) I'm kind of getting used to the new look but for anyone interested. . . . A simple solution to get rid of all the new green spiky grass is to rename or hide a file called, Ray_Grass_01.ref. It can be found in the. . . . .Mods\terrains\Falklands\surfaceDetails folder. To rename it you can simply place an underscore at the beginning to turn the new grass off and remove he underscore to turn it back on again. Example: _Ray_Grass_01.ref. The good news is you will still remain a pure client so wont affect multiplayer. The bad news is you will need to rename it every time you update DCS or perform a repair.
