DCS 2.7 shader edits

MUSTANG - is FAST!   LoL..   

Removing the firevehicle.lua is cleanest way indeed.  I am lazy - I Install Better Smoke last and let it overwrite the firevehicle.lua from this most excellent Adjusted Shadders Mod.  

gracias!

Mod tested and verified working fine with latest DCS Open Beta 2.5.6.59398.

Wow just wow!

In VR with reverb g2 the colours are brilliant !

One issue i am finding is the water (river/seas).

When I turn my head any area with water, the texture is changing between water and land (like its flashing if that makes sense?).

What could be causing this?

Yea, that's the aforementioned 'spider'.  A scene of intense battle over a year ago:

You might be able to limit it somewhat by adjusting your gamma settings... But at least for me, it's impossible to get rid of. Especially bad on the Persian Gulf map if I'm anywhere below say 1000 feet.

Don't know why my last post included a quote from a completely diff topic

As far as I know, water flashing on PG is due to some fog setting on the map. Unfortunately don't know exactly which one. You could try something moth the mission editor. Also happens to people without this mod and, don't know if it's related, also happens in at least another game, still with water surfaces. Out of curiosity, which GPU you have?

It gives me an IC error for watercompose.hlsl

Weird thing is if I try an MP server which doesnt require IC the water is fine.

If i go say to TTI servers the water is flashing as noted in my previous post.

 The watercompose.hlsl IC fail trigger will only happen the once after installing the mod, as mentioned in earlier posts, subsequent loadings will be ok.

@Mustang thank you very much for this mod. Not only does it improve VR performance, it also makes the game so much prettier. Amazing work. ED should adopt this as the standard VR shader into DCS.

v1.3 uploaded in 1st post - added star.fx shader for slightly brighter stars and the disabling of milky way texture (milkywayCube.dds) via culling.

After the latest update, DCS no longer loads with this mod applied.

Could take up to 10 minutes... will be another delay per map and airframe.

All good here.

you may need to uninstall the mod, repair DCS and the reinstall the mod, if you didnt use something like OvGME or similar to manage your mods

I have seen DCS take a good few minutes when starting up for the first time after an update or changes to graphics settings via Mods.

• I will sometimes display the contents of the fxo and metashaders2 folders in my Saved Games.
• If I see files being updated or created with very current timestamps, I know that DCS is still rebuilding FXO and Metashaders in the background.

Im not running mustangs mods and my dcs is slow AF.

hey @Mustang You're a god as far as all these shaders and textures go in my book

Any chance you know how to get DCS to use a single shadow LOD? For example, when flying in close formation with a wingman, their shadow under their wings, keeps switching between the high and next level down LOD, over and over and over and it really breaks the immersion.

The same thing is true when you're flying close to the ground, I often see half of my helicopters shadow in a high LOD, and the other half in a low LOD, sometimes only half a shadow!

Thanks for all your hard work!

I cleaned up a few things and it works now.

So this can't be installed into the Saved Games\Bazaar folder?  Thanks for any info.

K.  I use OvGME as well.

Thanks Mustang for your work.
I've a question.

I understood that it changes visible range to Extreme 2x.
If I change 'Visib. Range' in game options, will be any difference in visibility and fps or not?

I used to play with 'Extreme' Visib. Range but I noticed fps drops since I installed your mod so I wonder if I change in game options Visib. Range to High/Ultra but with your mod, will be there any changes?

Hi, this mod package does nothing to affect visibility range, that is separate and performed via the graphics.lua/terrainoptions41.lua files, none of which are included in this mod.
