Hi;

 

Maybe that mod has replaced Su-27.skins in the directory; C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Bazar\World\Shapes, is the case?

 

So, I hope you've saved a backup and you can return the default su-27.skins and "others".

 

Greetings S!

I have that 3GO walmis A10, F15c mod installed. is there any thing else I need? Well its not the visibility fix its the 3GO models they dont have medium or high resolution textures how is this suposed to be fixed?

sorry don't say you got this from installing some mod from me as this can't be true as I haven't replaced any aircraft with box model... maybe you got this from Yoda's modellod.txt, but it's certainly not from me :music_whistling:

xD, looks like a can of sardines :lol:

It is not really the modellod.txt causing the problem, but the Su-27.skins that comes in the same Paket.

 

 

:thumbup:

That depends... if the model is LOM file then in .skins file is specified the LOD to use... if it's CMD file then it's in Modellod.txt... either way it is not me doing anything here or having made such "mod" and I don't like referring to me when something like this comes up.

 

GF_Mastif, please edit your post and don't reffer to me that you got this from because it is not from me

I said because I had the same error installing on Yoda's :), but now I realize is that it concerns you, from the beginning I thought that was the Yoda's fix visibility. :doh:

 

Should sleep a little more :joystick:

Well as I stated it didn't happen until I put this visibility fix in.. :joystick:

 

It's ok, I did manage to fix it it appears mod man doesn't place the files .lom in the world/shapes in, so mod man is lacking in that area when it gets used properly. I had to manualy place them in myself. :pilotfly:

Is this attibuted to this mod?

i saw the same rectangular LOD box when i tried the mod downloaded from this thread :)

 

Needless to say, after trying out these files i got rid of it as soon as possible.

Maybe it was Yoda or AS who made this and I think you got the file from 169th ... I never made something like this

Yes it was from our forums. That will teach you Mastiff not to back up ;)

Nope got it from you on here...

Well if you got it from there (and that is my post) then how come when I check the file it shows this:

 

// MIG-29

model

{

name = "MIG-29";

lod = {"MIG-29", 20000};

collision = "MIG-29-COLLISION";

}

// MIG-29C

model

{

name = "MIG-29C";

lod = {"MIG-29C", 20000};

collision = "MIG-29-COLLISION";

}

// MIG-29G

model

{

name = "MIG-29G";

lod = {"MIG-29G", 20000};

collision = "MIG-29-COLLISION";

}

 

I don't see anything there to reffer to LD_Tec file... so I don't see how this box you got instead of aircraft could be from file I posted?

 

Also you referred to MiG-29 Visibility fix... what I made was fix for Ground Units which were missing low poly LOD at distance which was affecting framerate... and this is also at LockOn files... what you got there is something else.

Well it works now I dont even know what your on about anymore...

[Kuky]

Oh geee, am I that hard to understand...

 

First of all you say you installed this visibility fix and you said it was from me... I then said it wasn't from me because I never made such a fix... then you said again you got the file from me indeed and gave this link:

Then I again repeated that the file you got was not from me because the box you see is nowhere specified in the file I provided... so what am I on about about? I am continually saying you did not get this visibility mod from me... and you kept saying it was from me... get it now?

try this file and place into LockOn/Bazar folder (make backup first)

 

modellod.txt

 

let me know if you stil get bad framerate when you fly over same area... or anywhere on server for that matter...

 

EDIT: Also note to mission builders... if you place say 20 hummers within 2km or just make a column with quite a few hummers (or even M113) in it they will make for quite a few objects for CPU to render... if 1 hummer takes 68 objects and you place 10 of them that's... 680 objects just for those (or 800 for 10x M113) ... and even on fast CPU (for example 4GHz C2D I have) something of order of 4000 objects is what will start to lower my framerate bellow 60... something to consider I guess when making missions.

 

Ideally having 3 LOD for each vehicle would do from high/medium/low poly and then 4th LOD just simple box, square or whatever would fix this even better... but hey this is what we're getting DCS for... beauty of all the high quality 3D models of upclose then multiple LOD's as they blend into distance... nice :)

 

NOT YOURS EH? :megalol:

I am done talking to you... you just don't get it... yes the file above is mine and I made it to fix missing low poly LOD for ground units, and has nothing to do with Mig-29 visibility, therefore this file is not the mig29vis fix you are talking about in this thread!

Good thats all I ask.. :pilotfly:oh and I see where this went afoul, I this whole time I thought it was a Mig 29 fix, because thats the forum Title. I did not bother to read the very first post, and why would I...

 

I was linked to this through that title.. So I see where I went awry.. Oh so you know I only a novice file reader I don't know how to mod anything... I just try to follow the logical steps and readme.txt

 

Sorry for the trouble...
