DCS World environmental shaders mod

ah..I love this mod:thumbup:

How are you liking the updated clouds Lizzard?

I've recently beefed up their mass to make them look a little bit more cloud-like and also enabled stuff like anisotropic filtering and BlendOP = ADD function to the cloud imposter shader (makes all the surrounding clouds blend in with each other a bit better IMO) and to finish it off I've tinkered with the luminance of the dark and bright sides of the clouds further.

Seeing them at dusk is pretty too

i'm also pleased with the changes to the fog effects, i was never really happy with the way the sky handled the fog when it was present, it somehow screwed with the whole colour palette the further in altitude you gained - now we can that bluer skies have returned with greater radiance

Mustang you`re a machine..The clouds are great..for me your mod pulls out the best that DCS can be...your mod combined with SweetFX and a decent Terrain Mod make DCS look crazy good! I can`t thank you enough!:worthy::D

I run the latest version also and it's great Mustang! :thumbup:

Wow, this mod gets better with each update. "Edge" will really have a hard time to beat this wonderful work. Thanks again mate and Rep inbound!

EDGE surpasses anything i tinker with, i know this as a fact and it drives me to make this older engine look better, kinda like a 'last hurrah' before EDGE comes to us all ;)

Please stop making adding so I can get my life back. I haven't seen the sun in weeks.

Thanks for your continued work on this Mustang, love the mist and fog now. Makes DCS so more immersive:)

WOW!

And i repeat.. WHY THE HELL THIS IS NOT IN VANILLA INSTALL ? AND WHY WE DONT HAVE SOME OF THOSE BETTER TEXTURE MODS IN VANILLA ?

ED , DO YOU HEAR ? :D

Its a fantastic mod. Its much better then the original. Nice work Mustang :thumbup:

Hey as I said in TS3, with the modification of the graphics.lua I couldn't see Stars in the A10C at night. When I put on my NVG I could see them, but not without.

I changed the graphics.lua back and can see them again, anyone else got this in the A10-C/other planes?

If not, could this be something that conflicts with my other Mods?

- Clouds & Sky complete v5.08

- DCS SweetFX 151

- Devrim_DCSWBS2_RicardoHDcockpit_v2

- DTAC Terrain + Highways Villages (!)

- English Cues (HUD Shkval PUI800)

- MoreVisibility v1.2 (!) Uses a different graphics.lua I think, which I edited of course.

- RAE_MOD (RWR)

- Ranger79s Mod Pack 1.2

- Snoopy Weapon Repaint v1.0

Hi Apo, i'm looking into directly altering the star brightness within the star.fx shader, i may have a solution soon so we won't have to modify the graphics.lua.

can you modify the exhaust blur shader so that it doesn't fade off at 230~ish knots :) :joystick:

yeah, would be awesome to see at higher speed and at idle engine thrust on the ground as well but i think it's not a shader but a dat or bin file in Bazar\Effects\EXHAUST folder or a hardcoded calculation in a dll file :(

Hello Mustang,

I have one question concerning this screenshot, please is it possible to have your setup for obtain the same result ?

A great thanks again and congratulation for this awesome Mod.

Bye, Skull.

These .fx modifications are a progression from the original cloud shader mod, they now encompass the sky, clouds, terrain etc - be aware that this mod gets regular updates as new discoveries/tweaks are made!

 

See attachment below, installation is pretty straight forward - just unrar the package and copy the Bazar folder into the DCS World directory

 

NOTE: if you previously changed your graphics.lua to reduce star brightness please revert them back to defaults - brightness is now handled by the edited star.fx (this may need further tuning if stars are still too visible)

 

line 224 graphics.lua

 

Stars =

{

c0 = 0;

c1 = 2;

c2 = 9;

c3 = 10;

 

v5.2 updated: more tuning with clddraw.fx and cldshad.fx

 

hey Mustang! do you know if there is any way to make the ground shodows more dark?

great add

Speechless !

Thank you :)

Hello guys,

Skull..ALL Mods work fine with JSGME (as long as you set up JSGME and the mods right off course:))

Dear Skulleader; It's not important whether it works with JSGME or not.

If you could place the mod folder into JSGME folder properly, it would work with no problem.

Edit: Sniped with 5 mins. :)

Hello Lizard and Devrim,

I would like to thank you for your assistance, please can you tell me if I must just created one Mod folder in my DCS and if after that all my Mods will be installed in this folder by JSGME ?

I'm not certain to have well understand the good method for say to JSGME where it must installed all my Mods.

Do you know if one tutorial is available for well understand how work JSGME ?

A great thanks again, Skull.
