Will there be grass in DCS A-10 ?!?!

http://www.gamingshogun.com/Article/7060/DCS__A-10C_Producer_Interview_-_Exclusive_Screenshots.html

In some of the pictures from above link, there is grass enabled....

Can we enable grass?

Is there a possibility to edit cfg files and enable grass (like in the combat simulator, or preview of DCS A-10 screenshots)?

As far as I know, yes.

AFAIK, no, i think it s not implemented yet!)

cheers

No, you cannot enable what is not there.

I can just imagine the performance hit if it was there and turned on :|

But then again, maybe things have progressed and grass isnt that much of a perf hit ?

It only gets drawn in a circle around the camera, like in pretty much every game.

On the A-10C screen I've seen recently grass effect would be nice if there hadn't be crap effect of grass disappearing which can be easily seen. Hope to set grass much further....

as said, in A10C screens it´s enabled, or better implemented, but not in DCS KA 50 BS, nor in FC2.

I´ve heard that it is not a good idea to "enable" grass before or during ur flight.

I would hope so. What is the world without grass.

DCS: Black Shark or FC2 or just LO:FC?

As far as I know, yes.

This will be AWESOME! I am willing to bet that DCS: A-10C will change the way how most sims are reliant 90% on CPU. With grass, that may very well change.

Hmm, judging by the title, I'd wager the topic is regarding neither of those three.

Honestly, I don't like the grass, it looks ugly in the game as it is not rendered on large scale.

Ok, ok I know it's not possible to render it far, but in Arma2 it doesn't look so ugly.

Will wait for the release to make my final decision, but I hope we can turn grass = OFF.

haha is that real?

looks like it :)

Yea, it's real

I like it, I'm sure they'll fix the clipping and make it more of a fade and the draw distance will most likely improve as well come release. It adds to the sense of speed down low. I'm sure it will be removable, if not as an option in game, then a .lua mod will quickly fix that.

Hahah, the classic flying lawnmower. :)

The green plate is aerofoil-shaped (and made from something like styrofoam), with transparent elevons at the back and tricycle folding gear at the bottom and regular motor at the front. It is NOT a converted lawnmower - made as a novelty item.

The manufacturer also makes flying tanks and such. :D

Check out their website: http://flyingthingz.com/. If they get enough requests they might do a pig as well!:D

It would also be well worth changing the grass texture to the same colour as the surrounding terrain, if you think about it, the terrain is simply a far away representation of the grass. If you look at how it is implemented in ARMA 2, the change between the grass and far away terrain is seamless, for most angles above the terrain.
