...with fixed animations, corrected textures and FPS friendly optimized LODs (original model is back from DCS:A-10C 1.0.0.7)

This mod is update safe: you don't need to reinstall it again (after an auto-update)

Unrar the file into your DCS World folder

 

Cheers

Awesome stuff many thanks! Was only the other day I was looking at the original across the air base and thinking how it could really use an overhaul!

frame rate friendly?

Yes, when you moving away from model then lower poly LOD models come earlier, (in a shorter distance)

LOD0 & 1-new model, LOD2 & 3 & 4-old model, LOD5-box with texture of old model

LOD0 0- --> 360 meters

LOD1 360 meters --->

LOD2 1000 meters --->

LOD3 1300 meters --->

LOD4 1700 meters --->

LOD5 2400 ---> 16000 meters however model will be invisible farther than ~7000 meters (builtin LOD for static objects)

Hello,

 

Please can you explain to me where I must installed your files ?

 

I've unzip your folder and I can found these files: Shapes and Textures.

And also I have one mi-8.lua, please can you explain to me where I must installed this mi-8 lua ?

 

A great thanks for this Mod, best regards. Skull

Hi

 

You only need to unzip the file into your main "DCS World" folder

or

Copy the rar file into "DCS World" folder and open with "extract here" command

or

If you already opened/unrar-ed, then you need to drag and drop "Mods" folder (from Mi-8_Static_1.2.6 folder) into your "DCS World" folder

 

Correct ways:

Mods folder ---> into DCS World

Tech folder ---> into Mods folder

Shapes and Textures folders with mi-8.lua ---> into Tech folder

but

You ONLY need to copy/move the attached and unrar-ed "Mods" folder (from Mi-8_Static_1.2.6 folder) into your "DCS World" folder

 

That's all ;)

Hey HungaroJet

Your mod looks great!!!

 

Just one question:

I see screens of static georgian and russian Mi-8s. Have you but in your mod files I just see the russian skin.

Will I see the georgian skin on georgian bases and the russian on russian bases?

[HungaroJET]

Unfortunately not yet, that's a future plan.

However you can change the skin (skins from 1.2.5 or earlier versions) but then you will see that skin on all airbases.

Nice, this works and looks great thank you HungaroJET (it's a shame that other static objects have the sinking bug)

 

 

(now, how about releasing some of those other goodies you've been cooking up!)
