Mav783 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Hello, I'm sorry to up this thread. But, i just wanna say how crazy is the (simple ?) mod from Mustang about increasing the texture rendering in DCS ! So, an existential question came to my mind : why Eagle Dynamics don't make the same and adopt this change ? If it's "simply" a moddification in an .lua file, why not ? It's maybe very fast to do, and i will increase the experience of everyone ! I also didn't noticed any FPS changement... Look : This is really, really better... Thanks Mustang ! So, i have a question for Mustang, if you accept to anwser it, don't feel forced : can you say to me what is the line code you changed in the "terrainoptions41.lua" file to get this ? I wanna play and try different values with this, for personal use only. If you know where is the line to increase the visual range (terrain, world view distance) i take it also ;) Thanks ++ Edited January 22, 2019 by Mav783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 can you say to me what is the line code you changed in the "terrainoptions41.lua" file to get this ? You can easily find this out yourself, if you use the Compare-Plugin in Notepad++ (for installing it you can use the plugin manager). Try it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav783 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I really don't undertsand why ED don't do the same, it's a mod in only one .lua file...And it will increase hardly the texture quality for everyone, without risking a integrity check. With the same FPS... Also for the "repetition stripes" mod, that is not already fixed, but was fixed by Mustang long time ago. But i'm scared that this mod (repetition) don't work well, cause ED updated lot of textures since this mod was created by Mustang. ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc_neo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 But it is more demanding on your gpu. I tried this mod myself and it seems to need more vram on your gpu. I am still stuck on my amd 7870 2gb and this little fix makes nttr unplayable for me. But, ED surely sure make this an additional graphics setting in game for everyone thats not sitting on such a low vram gpu like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrohde Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I do not understand why ED does not add to the base game this incredible MOD. Thank you Mustang!

ron533 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Does the file name extensions has to be changed to DDS only in the OB and coming release version, as in Caucasus terrain (i.e. xx.tif.dds -> xx.dds) ?? Or it does not matter? Thanks! Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceviper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yep this mod is essential for Nevada. Tested after todays update. Makes DCS world even nicer and you wouldnt notice any fps hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Is more on the RAM usage side, is fairly noticeable the increase in RAM used. But no FPS hits. " You must think in russian.."

Mustang Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Is more on the RAM usage side, is fairly noticeable the increase in RAM used. But no FPS hits. Yes and as time goes by more and more people are obtaining cards with more VRAM so it's not that much of an issue anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Well i dont know if a 1080 with 8G VRAm + 16G RAM DDR3 is enough to handle or not. Thats my config and is running this mod really fine. Never happen to me a crash because running out of memory. Also im using process lasso at the start of any MP mission to clear some RAM and handle the session. Runs great for me, and my PC is outdated, i5 2500K so... " You must think in russian.."

Nealius Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 That's what I was thinking. One of these days...1080Ti is still $800-$1k here in Japan, and the RTX2070 is $600+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
