Highwayman-Ed Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Problem is that this sand texture is already at 4096 x 4096 and the only way to make it sharper is to either increase the repetition which leads to tiling at higher altitudes or to increase the texture size to 8192 x 8192 and then you hit compatibility issues with older generation graphics cards....

JABO2009 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Correct. This only modifies your textures that you see personally. It doesn't affect the units in the game, it doesn't change anything about a mission, and it doesn't need to be installed on a server to work. The only reason that anybody else other than you needs to install this mod is so that when they look out of their canopy, they see the same awesome view as you :) And yes, the trees are fixed thx to others and you for reply... will try this awesome work soon. with this mod FPS should be even higher like stock DCS terrain ! just sand and some palms sounds very FPS friendly :-) Edited February 20, 2014 by JABO2009 Intel I7 - 10700 K @ 3,80GHz / 64 GB DDR3 / RTX 3090 / Win 10 Home 64 bit / Logitech X56 HOTAS / HP Reverb G2 Running DCS on latest OB version

I'm wondering about one thing, if you have the old beta Nevada map. There when you are getting close to the ground, the texture changes to a very high quality ground. In fact an absolutely stunning one. And with a bit more altitude it gradually gets into a general sandytexture like this mod. I know it's a whole other story there. Still it's a pleasant idea for a dreamer:music_whistling: Here are the 2 shots: Edited February 20, 2014 by Cnuke
JayPee Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Iirc the current Georgia map has the same.. The higher, the less detailed textures. Atleast it looks like that but that might be my graphic settings? My point being, if the current map has it too I don't see a reason why ot wouldn't work the modified desert textures...? i7 4790K: 4.8GHz, 1.328V (manual) MSI GTX 970: 1,504MHz core, 1.250V, 8GHz memory
Highwayman-Ed Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 There is a low altitude noise file. If you can get me that first texture file (not a screen shot of it) I'll look at incorporating it. Also, further updates to the fields so in general there are less of them... I tried and tried to get the circular irrigation fields in, but the size and shape of the fields in DCS is just too irregular to get them to work. I've also aligned a few of the trees that were not quite right. The fields you are seeing in these shots are from satellite imagery from about 100km South of Riyadh Intel i9-9900KF @5.2GHz MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR3200 RAM MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio 40" Panasonic TH-40DX600U @ 4K Pimax Vision 8K Plus / Oculus Rift CV1 / HTC Vive Gametrix JetSeat with SimShaker Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The folder structure is identical, so just extract it to the main JSGME folder and you should get prompted to overwrite the existing files.
