JSGME version here

* Shown in combination with Sweet FX, PeterP's HDR, Mustang's Clouds, Harke's More Visibility (Set to Very High) and Highway's Villages Mod - 229th edition

This! Thank you Diveplane!

note the darker cloud shadow on distant mountain tops, now looks great.

default terrain textures in screen shots.

Nice job, so you changed:

Out.cOut.w=0.7*(1-c.x);//c.w;

to

Out.cOut.w=0.85*(1-c.x);//c.w;

simple and effective :)

combine sweetfx looks awesome thanks !!

Great mod diveplane! many thanks! :thumbup:

I have a question concerning the installation of those mods.

I'm using JSGME to install/uninstall mods, and would like to know if the injection of the *.dds into the *.zip files is mandatory, or if I can just put them aside in a folder named after the *.zip file, assuming they'll overwrite said zip file.

I run the game from a SSD, and having dozens of 100M textures zip files around is definitely becoming a problem.

EDIT: so, I made a few screenshots-based tests, and it seems not to be necessary to inject the *.dds files into the *.zip textures package. Could any guru around confirm ?

Correct, JSGME will create a folder in the same place as the zip file with the same name and copy the textures into it. DCS will then load these textures in place of the ones inside the zip file with the same name, but will continue to load any others in the zip file itself not in the mod.

awesome now with warm color hdr enabled in options looks even better.

note screenshot below is toby ground textures working along side cloud shadow shader mod.

Thanks Diveplane...mountains look better,more complex at distance.

Thanks for the mod Diveplane!

The scenery looks very good now and it is also possible to merge it together with the cloud mod made by Mustang. :thumbup:
