Blaze Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Just what the title says. By default even on the highest setting the civilian road traffic in DCS was pretty sparse. I wanted more life to DCS, and if you've ever liked how populated the roads can get in FSX, you'll appreciate this upgrade. Be aware that increasing traffic frequency will result in FPS loss, so don't be too generous with the increases at first. Find what works best for your rig. The example I included will bring most lower-spec rigs to its knees. This is what my traffic looked like on high with a small tweak: Click for full-res. I've attached the zip here with a readme that explains the edits and what else can be done with the file. Enjoy, and if you find any results that look better, be sure to post your edits! 666th_Birdy made a mod for this for FC back in the day, he also has a detailed explanation of this file (it has changed a bit since then) here.Denser_Road_Traffic.zip Edited December 24, 2012 by Blaze 1 i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Frogisis Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Cool, I like the civilian traffic and making the world feel more inhabited. Wish we could see pedestrians, sometimes, too. I wish their scripting behavior were a little different, though: I ended up bumping it down to medium because they'd often just wander right into the middle of a battle, and I have trouble imaging even the most dedicated bus driver and his/her passengers braving constant explosions and falling JDAMs to make it to the next stop on time. I think most people would call into work with a bad case of "spending time with their loved ones in the basement." So I just think they're kind of bothersome - There always seems to be a truck passing on the road when I'm trying to Mav the heck out of a tank column. I'm gonna try this mod, but I think it would be amazing if this kind of density could be reserved for the areas just outside of the battle, as if people trying to evacuate were causing traffic jams. Maybe there could be some kind of logic where they're "repelled" by burning vehicles within a given radius and interesting behavior would emerge from that?
