DCS 2.7 shader edits

[Chicki]

So, the flat shadows removal is included in this mod? Sorry, confused. Thanks.

hey Mustang, is there any way to make the water more dark blue instead of greenish/turquoise? All the DCS maps have water that looks like a lagoon.

[Alpenwolf]

Nice job there!!!

hey guys, installed this, and to be honest I prefer the game with the haze. I know default haze is not realistic, but if I use this mod I get horrible horizons during night and clouds. Any way to remove this mod?

Hi could you provide a screenshot of this problem you're seeing?

Best way is to make mod OvGME compatible you can install/uninstall in one clic ;)

Mod has been tested and is verifed to be good to use with latest 2.5.6.57264 Open Beta

Thanks Mustang. Seems to work without issue. Just a question, should I be using the same (new) terrainoptions.lua for your PG, NTTR and Syria texture fix mods? (the fixed version for the latest OB as referenced above). I've also used your graphics.lua for increased draw distance but dropped it slightly as Syria was suffering:Guessing this shouldn't cause any issues (the cache just seems to be increased to support larger draw distances).

 

distancFactor = {

Low = 0.5;

Medium = 0.7;

High = 1.0;

Ultra = 1.2;

Extreme = 1.8;

Hi, yes I have updated the terrainoptions41.lua in the PG mod to support latest version of DCS World and I have adjusted the instancer buffer values to allow greater distancFactor amounts.

Thanks Mustang, understood :thumbup:

@Mustang -Thanks for verifying the Mod is good to go with the latest Nov 4 Update.

Sometimes you can forget what a subtle but fantastic effective difference this Adjusted Shaders Mod Makes.

Hi guys, any good way to improve on that blue ring around the horizon at altitude? seems like DCS is clipping the terrain.

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

Is it possible to break out parts from this mod? Like keep the darker water, but the remaining settings at default?

Looks like this mod is not IC compliant after this latest OB update.

Looks like this mod is not IC compliant after this latest OB update.

 

I hope not. VR is unplayable trash without shader mods.

[Habu_69]

Looks like this mod is not IC compliant after this latest OB update.

 

My experience is that Shader Mod will pass IC as it did previously. That is, it fails initially, but on restarting DCS it passes.

Precisely, as stated in the first post of this thread.

Great mod good sir! Thank you for your effort. I always thought the haze was too much.

 

Although your setting reduce it some, I'd like to reduce it more. I've been trying to figure out how to reduce it even more for two days now with no luck. Can you tell me how to do it please?

[Sr.]

Holy cow! How have I missed this thread til now?

 

What a HUGE improvement. :beer:

This isn't working for me. I see no difference. In addition, when I started, there was no loading delay as mentioned. So I deleted the fxo and metashder2 myself but still don't see any difference.

 

I have the VR shader mod and CGTC Caucus texture mod. Could that be why? I used OVGME and installed this mod the last.

 

Edit: Never mind. The zip file I downloaded had nothing in it for some reason. I re-downloaded it and now working. Looks great!

Can you elaborate on the CGTC Caucus texture mod?

[Mustang]

v1.2 uploaded, reduced the sharpness of the horizon a little with a touch of haze, this helps mask the outer blueness of the horizon while still keeping good visibility.

[speed-of-heat]

Thanks for the update!

 

[javelina1]

thank you Mustang! Really appreciate all of your efforts!

[Sr.]

I love this mod!

Is it at all possible to use it along with Taz's "Better Smoke?" OvGME gives error that FirVehicle.lua is already being used.

Just remove the firevehicle.lua from the archive and it should work alongside that other mod.
