Desert 3.0

To get it to work you must select Summer for your Missions.

Altering the seasons has no effect, regardless of the season selected. I have also tried Starway's Ground Texture Mod 3.2 and it has no change.

I did notice that the folder structure of the mods is a little different than that of the Mods folder though. In the mods folder, I find the terrain texture files inside "DCSWorld\Mods\terrains\CaucasusBase\vfstextures" whereas the folders for these texture packs appear as "Bazar\Terrain\vfstextures". I wonder if this is part of the problem?

I installed in 1.5 Beta it but some ground textures looks like this *pic* also at certain altitude it changes to desert. is it normal?

 

I also have this issue. Any idea what could be causing it?

Im pretty sure thats how its supposed to look, there are fields and irrigation in desert areas too. Fire up google Earth and look around some areas in africa, the fields there look like above (I do agree it looks like a texture error, but same thing in real life lol)

I was thinking about that, but there are areas where it doesn't fit. In a lot of the areas, it does.

any one make it work on 1.5.3?

Probably gonna cost like 10 bucks or something : D

It's just the same as for his other mods where you need to put the files in the new location DCS World\Mods\terrains\CaucasusBase\vfstextures

However for me at least the dark fields under the new engine look near black. More like mine tailings spread flat or an scene from an alien planet than some sort of arid environment agricultural crop. So it went from one of my favourites to one I don't use. Vietnam etc still looks ok.

So is this mod working in 1.5.3 or not?

It worked for me just didn't like the way it looked under 1.5+

Where is the link for the latest?

3.2?

Thanks!

Can anyone give me a step by step guide on installing this mod? Sorry to be a pain. I've tried doing what I can find with JSGME tutorials, but the only part that works is the vehicle tags and skins change colour, there is no change in terrain. Thanks

Same thing for me... I admit I didn't RTFM as just checked the basic thing to confirm it goes like any other mod for JSGME. And then wondered when basically only ground vehicles textures got changed.

And no, didn't invest more time than 5min to seek something without results.

Is this mod working in 1.5.4 ?.

I understand that in order to get this mod to work you have to change the season to Fall, whereabouts in the mission editor do you do this ?.

I haven't played DCS in ages, but i seem to remember that you could use to change the season under the mission briefing tab on the right hand side of the editor. All i can see at the moment is a list of Months, but nowhere can i see anywhere to change the season ??..... i've tried changing the month to September/October but still no desert scenery in game.....please could someone point out the obvious :).

Thanks.

No one wants to read but several people have posted this. I just got the desert textures working. Can someone please take a screenshot or give an exact location where to pick fall in the mission editor. I can not for the life of me remember and I use to design missions. Been a helluva day too so maybe I'm just too tired.

I see where you can change time/date but I thought there was a specific spot to choose season.

Another thing you can do instead of selecting fall if you want to use the texture at all times for example would be to replace all of the files with the modded files. Simply changing the name of the new file to the old ones (spring, summer,fall, winter) etc will achieve this.

Before yes, now season textures change with the month you select in ME.

Not summer but fall

You mean simply in :

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\_MODS\DCS Desert 3 by Starway\Mods\terrains\CaucasusBase\vfstextures

change the name of

LandTexturesAutumn

LandTexturesAutumnOther folders in

LandTexturesSummer

LandTexturesSummerOther

for example ?

That is correct. Id suggest testing it with one month before moving on to the others. There is also a mod that was put out that adds an option to your GUI in game. I don;t remember the name of it though. It allowed you to pick which texture mod you wanted for each season. Give a look further down in the mods forum to see if you can find it.
