DCS Enhanced Terrain Low'N'Slow Released

 

From what I know...

 

Enhanced terrain was Toby's first product. In time he made a new (better) product called Enhanced terrain low'n'slow. At first this might have been a seperate product but by now it is the replacement of Enhanced terrain as it includes all of it 'plus more'.

 

To answer your question: if you want to most up to date product, install Enhanced terrain low'n'slow.

 

PS: While you're at it you might install Toby's airfield textures as well. Better looks, no FPS hit.

great. thanks. i will search for the Toby's airfield mod

Does this mod affect FPS in any detrimental way? I am looking forward to eliminating ground shimmering in the Game - occasionally I get whole rivers shimmering...

[JayPee]

It does not impact FPS, neither do Toby's airfield textures.

Well I suppose it could cause issues if your graphics card doesn't have high enough memory? Surely these textures take up more memory than the blurry default ones. In reality the memory required is rather low though I think so shouldn't be an issue.

I have just ran a test on a same mission before and after installing this mod. Suprisingly - here are the results:

I've uploaded a JSGME installable version of my Villages mod incorporating Toby's Low'n'Slow textures and Rocky's Trees here

[JayPee]

Do the villages and trees mod affect FPS? I know Tobys terrain doesnt..

 

Thanks

[Highwayman-Ed]

Not that anybody has reported, they're just texture replacements and if your system is not effected by the increased texture sizes of Toby23's terrain, then the same should be true for theses textures.

@toby23 Excuse me, mate. I'm currently using the steam version of DCS and I can't seem to find the installation path for the mod. the directory for the "\Terrain\vfstextures" folder is not there in my PC. The only "Textures" folder for the mod is directly in the "Bazar" folder, no "Terrain" folder or whatsoever. Do I need to create new folder? or will putting the mod directly in the "Textures" folder will do? Thank you for your attention

This was made 9 years ago... I doubt it still fits...

A lot has changed with the file structure of DCS over the last 9 years... some older mods just won't work any more... those days are gone! enjoy the new!
