Thank you Birdman of Feather's, for your hard work.

The MB152 is already available?
Someone lied to me 

[BravoFxTrt]

Nope!

[BravoFxTrt]

Bump.

Guys, if you haven't tried this awesome rework, your missing out, I've been flying on most of the Maps where you can see the difference. It is so much more Scenic than before. Try it You'll love it. Thanks Birdman and Gang. I'm impressed.

I do have pretty much almost a high end machine, I know this is probably a key factor in this Mod's usability.

P.S> I have it working on DBW, UP, and SAS MODAct (4.10.1). Going to try with HSFX.

  Silly question but do I put the two folders Highres_textures1 and Highres_textures2 in #DBW or the contents of these into #DBW\MapMods\maps\_Tex
ie example contents 352nd_Cross_Channel, Zapolar, land etc
Thanks

The reason why this high resolution texture pack exists is downscaling of textures. UP3 and DBW really have downscaled textures in older modded maps, and this pack simply replaces those downscaled 512x512 textures with the original 1024x1024 textures. Every texture in this pack is there because unmodified UP3/DBW has downscaled 512x512 version of it. The downscaling really removed or blurred some details in the textures and this pack adds back all those details. I have tried to collect the original resolution versions of all downscaled textures, and the affected maps are listed in the first post. This pack is not for HSFX because textures in HSFX may be different (This pack may cause some unexpected and incomplete retexturing of HSFX maps.) and are not downscaled (There is simply no need for this kind of pack in HSFX.).

All in all, this pack has indexed textures to save memory (1 MB files instead of 4 MB) and is built to undo the downscaling of map textures from 1024x1024 to 512x512 in UP3/DBW. This pack has 1024x1024 texture resolution originally supported by IL-2 and even used in some stock maps, so this doesn't need the High Resolution / True Color Textures Mod ( https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,28127.0.html ) that allows 2048x2048 textures.

Thanks Birdman.

Downscalling was unnecessary. Medium and low PC could handle original size textures. Just like in the original game or as Ice wrote.

OMG it looks like CLOD...

Hi Birdman,

thank you very much for this detailed explanation.

  Please can someone answer this - still not cleared up where to put the folders. Thanks

Dude it's in the first post for the mod:

Installing instructions: Just unpack these two packs into your #UP# or #DBW folder and enjoy more detailed ground textures.
