It runs and looks good, Sascha!

Nice work. :)

 

Sane here Sascha Thank you...your #1 (Numero Uno) :pilot:

I'll try to update the tweak guide soon. This will really improve FS9 compared to my older tweaks! Should have time over the weekend!

I updated the Dropbox today with an even higher resolution ground detail texture which enhances the look of the hires textures even more. I also added more detailed mountain textures and an alternative summer tree texture.

Thanks Sascha. I Imstalled the textures and have done a few flights without any dramas. They look great!

Sascha,

I tried the new textures yesterday, and they look great. Using ASE for my weather, and your textures - yesterday was one of the most realistic looking flights I've ever flown in FS9. :)

Thanks again for your hard work and contributions to the community. I can't wait to see what new .cfg "tweaks" you have up your sleeve!

For me, strong, hot and sweet coffee (with sweetened condensed milk) works best! But a nice slice of cake will do it at a pinch!

Screenshots?

 

No great art with these. I snapped some previous to your post. On a couple flights without any real intention to highlight the textures specifically. I can do more at a later date.

 

* note : the clouds aren't fro mEvo. I had my own set from somewhere. I like Evo's but I prefer these.

Hi JSMR, very nice pics. My "greens" seem to look more pale in comparison to yours. I may need to figure out what to change in the sweetfx settings to get them to look more natural, as in your pics. I still haven't mastered those settings.

Thanks, Tok Saschas advice and made a nice coffee. :p

 

Yes, the difference can be in using Sweetfx. I've used so many different pre-sets but mostly now use one that is quite neutral. It enhances the blue a little more. Makes the horizon have a slightly more 'atmostpheric' look.

I dont use HDR or bloom.

 

I've tried making it brighter but it can make the textures have that fsx washed out look. Although often I've flown in real world (pax on a jet) and its often so bright and hazy you can't make out much anyway. I try for a happy balance and use my visibility settings to give that effect as well. Max of 30nm in clear. Maybe even 25.

 

Hope that helps?

Anything helps, as I mentioned I have not completely familiarized myself with what the setting do. I do have bloom as 1, an HDR as 0, so maybe I'll start by knocking the bloom back to 0 and check the look. Take one step at a time afterward.

 

Thanks for your reply! :)

No worries, happy to help. I’d give you my sweet fix setting but the misuses is hogging my PC (my pc :( )today and I’d risk my life to get to it. :D

 

Maybe tomorrow. Haha.

LOL, funny.

I'd love to see the settings if you can, for comparison sake, but understand if you can't get them.

Sshhhhh. She's sleeping. Here's my opportunity.

 

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF

#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 0 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines using the SMAA technique.

#define USE_FXAA_ANTIALIASING 0 //[0 or 1] FXAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines using the FXAA technique. WIP - Currently only works in DX9 and you need to use the FXAA injector dlls.

#define USE_EXPLOSION 0 //[0 or 1] Explosion : Scatters the pixels, making the image look fuzzy.

#define USE_CARTOON 0 //[0 or 1] Cartoon : "Toon"s the image. (Interferes with SMAA, CRT, Bloom, HDR and Lumasharpen)

#define USE_ADVANCED_CRT 0 //[0 or 1] Advanced CRT : Simulates an old CRT TV display. (Interferes with SMAA, Cartoon, Bloom, HDR and Lumasharpen, and it has a very high performance cost)

#define USE_BLOOM 0 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_HDR 0 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.

#define USE_LEVELS 0 //[0 or 1] Levels : Sets a new black and white point. This increases contrast but causes clipping. Use Curves instead if you want to avoid that.

#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)

#define USE_DPX 1 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor.

#define USE_MONOCHROME 0 //[0 or 1] Monochrome : Monochrome makes the colors disappear.

#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 1 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights

#define USE_TONEMAP 0 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)

#define USE_VIBRANCE 0 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.

#define USE_CURVES 1 //[0 or 1] Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.

#define USE_SEPIA 0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the image.

#define USE_VIGNETTE 0 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.

#define USE_DITHER 0 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)

#define USE_BORDER 0 //[0 or 1] Border : Makes the screenedge black as a workaround for the bright edge that forcing some AA modes sometimes causes.

#define USE_SPLITSCREEN 0 //[0 or 1] Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

 

#define USE_CUSTOM 0 //[0 or 1] Custom : Write your own shader by editing custom.h, and then enable it here.

//Enable this only if you use a Geforce 7xxx series or older card, or a Radeon X1xxx series or older card.

No worries, happy to help. I’d give you my sweet fix setting but the misuses is hogging my PC (my pc :( )today and I’d risk my life to get to it. :D

 

Maybe tomorrow. Haha.

 

I know the feeling, especially with the World Cup - my wife is watching every match she can!
