Hi pilots!
I´ve retextured the Kuban map with photographic textures.
The most weak point in the past was displaying of cities, which has a low quality and 3D objects wasn´t located correctly.
The cities are displaying in combination of several textures now and there are cultivated fields in different scale around the cities.
A little bit unsolved is displaying of river shore and some of beach. The rivers are disappearing in some cases and shores are little bit raw. If there is a someone who can or who know how to fix this , it would be great.
I made better airfields-different textures for some airfields, buildings and settlement and so on.
(http://www.ulozobrazek.cz/images/789Kuban.jpg) (http://www.ulozobrazek.cz/view.php?filename=789Kuban.jpg)
Installation:
Copy the content of _Tex folder into your Sturmovik _Tex folder
Copy the Kuban folder into Kuban folder in game (all rewrite), if you want to have retextured map. In this case don´t add any new line to all.ini file.
If you want to save map as new, create Kuban_RRR folder. Copy files from old folder Kuban (map_c, ed_m01, ed_m02, ed_m03, map_F, map_R), and copy content of this folder Kuban (SLmap_T, map_h, load.ini, actors.static) into it.
Add line "Kuban_RRR Kuban_RRR/load.ini" to all.ini file.
I recommend to fly with Cloudtype=2 and higher.
Write to your conf.ini Forest=3 for trees in towns.
Have a nice flight!

Thank You Cyberolas.
Another masterpiece!

Thanks a lot, cyberolas.. :D
Your shots look great. Goes right into my gaming folders!

Cyberolas,
Again, another outstanding work! I love your Crimea map and this looks like another favorite. Thanks very much for contributing your talent to this sim. Your video was really good also. You have a great creative talent. Thanks very much.
-
Impressive!
-
Thanks for new good-looking map,cyberolas!
there is a question
If I use this map as a new (after creation Kuban_RRR folder) in FMB, it don't load. Logfile write that there is no map_c file... Should I use standard map_c file, and where I can find it? I think, there is necessary to have all types of map's file (such as map_c, map_t, ed_m01 etc.) in new folder with Kuban_RRR map? Am I Right?
PS It is not problem using new map as a stock, all components loads good...
Regards, Andrei
-
Oh yes, thank you Gromm, you are absolutely right!!! I will edit my instructions for instalation... Thank you!
-
Awesome work as usual – your re-textures are so real!
Very nice video as well ;)
-
Good stuff! Thank you! :)
-
Honestly cyberolas your work is brilliant mate ! The Ukrain map was great, this looks even better, I'm a big fan of your work. If you have any more maps, please let me know ! Again, well done and thanks. Jon
-
Hi acred99! I have only Crima and Kuban retexture map. Crimea is half year work and Kuban too! :) Thank you for your appreciation.
-
cyberolas
Is it possible to get a link of a whole Kuban_RRR folder with stock map_c, map_f etc files?) unfortunatelly I have retextured versions of this map (including only load.ini files)...
-
Here are all default files for this instalation. Other files - map_h, SLmap_T, load.ini and actor.static add from my MODS folder...
Did I understand right what do you want?

just got it. it looks great! :)

Excellent work again, thanks a lot cyberolas!

Nádhera, chlape! Doufám, že taky n?kdy ud?láš i n?jaké další mapy:)
Beautiful, mate! I hope you will do some other maps some other time too:)
-
Did I understand right what do you want?
Yes, thx a lot for your files)

Hi Gerax!
Airfield with texture Airfield4 is near village Novomyshatovskaja (village between Slavyanskaja and Krasnodar). The most used texture is really texture airfield1, that´s ok.
Pilots!
I should be happy, if you make some screenshots from this repaint map and place in this topic. It is best reward for me and good check too. Thank you:)

Here are some winter, afternoon pics, with this gorgeous map! 8)
-
Hm, nice pics, but do you have Forest=3 in conf.ini?
I don´t see any trees in towns. Or it is large scale of view and I really don´t see any trees in game, isn´t it? Trees in towns is generated from actors.static file.
Thank you.
-
My favorite map on QMB, best missions ever made, now it is retextured . I cant simply wait until the sun go downa and I can use my TrackIr and fly again
Many thanks

Hello Cyberolas.
Thanks a lot for your work I am already enjoying (Crimea and Kuban ) on my 4.09 install.
I rushed on the download button to get the retextured , Kuban RRR.
Unzipped it and I put the content of maps/_Tex folder (Kuban ) into my MODS/mapmods/maps/_Tex/East folder and put maps/Kuban in my
MODS/Mapmods/maps/ allowing to overwrite the already installed original Kuban map. (Before that I did a copy of my Kuban folder ).
When I launched a quick mission with KUBAN RRR installed , the mission stopped loading because of the landscape not found . >:(
So I went back to MODS/Mapmods/maps/ and desabled the RRR one , reenabled the copy.Back in the game my quick mission loaded and played without a glitch.
Did I do something wrong ?
Anybody here to help me ?
Thanks
Sonny Tucson . :)
-
One help is here for you: Try open FMB, load Kuban map and if FMB write not load, press Shift+TAB. FMB write what is wrong...
I don´t know what is wrong...Did you instal map like rewrite or new map Kuban_RRR?
Try check name of map in QMB mission file.
-
Hm, nice pics, but do you have Forest=3 in conf.ini?
I don´t see any trees in towns. Or it is large scale of view and I really don´t see any trees in game, isn´t it? Trees in towns is generated from actors.static file.

Hi cyberolas, no, I have Forest=2, I shall give it a try with your suggestion

Forest=4, morning pics, weather "clean"
-
Hm, it looks better, I recommend weather=3.
Do you use autumn trees like default?
-
How can you install this map in 4.11m or can you? Thanks TC
-
Hm, it looks better, I recommend weather=3.
Do you use autumn trees like default?
"Weather=3". Is this a conf.ini setting you are referring to? 'Cause I have never seen this before

I tried this map briefly on multiplayer server which happened to have Kuban on, but suffered some strange freezes of the game (image froze, sound kept on) and had to shut down the il2fb.exe via taskmgr.
No way to say if it was actually the map that caused it, or something else on my installation that caused the freezes, or even something else on my computer. Couldn't test enough to verify.
The freezes occurred while I was watching at some town areas. Is it possible that something like this could happen because ground objects don't match the location of objects on the server side?

Yes, ground object have new loacation (very similar like default, but really new). New location is exactly on new textures.
-

weather=3 - I mean CloudType 3 in mission file, sorry...:)
Uufflakke - wonderfull screenshots, thanks!
-
Yes, ground object have new loacation (very similar like default, but really new). New location is exactly on new textures.
Thanks, I understood that. What I'm asking is whether or not this can cause crashes when the hosting server uses the default Kuban map?
I'll test the map a bit flying on the same area while I'm offline, and see if that also causes crashes. It's a very beautiful map and I would love to use it, but I mostly fly online on Skies of Valor which is a stock server but allows mods to be used as long as they don't alter flight or damage model.
-
Hmmm, I don´t know about servers with Kuban map, I´m offline all the time, sorry...:)
To UP~Boomer:
Yes, yes, if you like flying online, it´s better to have the map installed on it's own,under it's own name.
After that you must rewrite name of this map in all mission files- if you want to play campaign.
-
Better to have the map installed on it's own,under it's own name for online playing IMHO
That way,it would make sure that everyone is at least on the same map
Valid points, but unless you intend to crash on some ground objects, the disparity between maps would be unlikely to cause much problems. Biggest problem would be if there are ground targets embedded in buildings, or if roads happen to be in different directions, but really, most of my flying is fighter combat up in the air.
But, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. No problem there. It's a wonderful map and I'll just have to do some single player flying there, as well as Crimea!

Thanks Cyberolas
I just screwed something...I forgot to install your clouds259.tga !
Stupid me !
Sorry for having had you loose your time. :-[
Really a superb work.
Iwill now try , clouds type 2 and weather 3 in my quick mission files.
Thanks
Sonny Tucson. :)
-
Cloudtype 3 is better than Cloudtype 2 ;)
-
Cloudtype 3 is better than Cloudtype 2 ;)
O.K. I've got the message Cloud Type 3 !
In the mis. files there are different parameters for " Weather".
Can you advise me for KubanRRR ?
Thanks .
Sonny. :)
-
OK.
Cloudtype 2 is weather with some clouds
Cloudtype 3 is weather more clouds than 2
Cloudtype 4 is weather more clouds than 3
Cloudtype 5 is rain
Cloudtype 6 is storm
If you fly in the morning (from 5 to 8 o´clock) I recommend cloudtype 1 or 2, because game engine generate fog in the morning.
I don´t have any experience with changes cloudheight.
Weather parameters is about wind - any changes in graphical experience.
-
Some shots..very nice and realistic looking.. :)

Looks great ingame. Especially like the rocky textures and natural placement of tiles inland and on the coast.
-
Hm, look good. I have the same question like for cgagan:
Do you have Forest=3 in conf.ini?
I don´t see any trees in towns. Or it is large scale of view and I really don´t see any trees in game, isn´t it? Trees in towns is generated from actors.static file.

Unfortunately, I'm just now appeared ....
What a wonderful map of the Kuban!
Syberolas - you are a talented man! Very nice and realistic!
Fine texture, very impressive! ;D
Keep your work and more!
Good luck to you!
I've had problems with the airfield Compans_airfields.
Who is checking ...
It may be a bit lighter texture to the runway and parking spaces on the
Compans_airfield1.tga, Compans_airfield2.tga ....
By the way, why Compans - it seems to be Oknevas (Oks)-map Donbass....
A little lightening, texture paste for the rest of the runway and parking spaces ..
And is it possible to remove the black spots (shadows) on the texture of cities.
Everything else is just great made!!!
-
Outstanding map! Looks fantastic when I'm down low - how do I get the clear textures when I'm at altitude ?
I seem to recall a setting in conf, but I can't remember which one ?
-
Mixx:
Lighter texture? Maybe...hmmm...if you want, try it edit in gimp or Infraview...
Names of textures - yes, but I want to have easy names for my memory:), sorry
Remove black shadows in cities? I don´t understand...thanks for your opinion
-
Cyberolas:
I also use Forest=3.. :D-maybe I was just too far zoomed out, I will check this wonderful map again later.
Cheers

Kuban's textures are darker than Crimea ones. I'm using those from kuban in Crimea map: more better appeal!!
Even better with BumpH!
Two great maps
-
Regarding trees...3 new shots from one hour earlier at 16.00, 2nd and third shot show the trees..I say it is related to the altitude and zoom factor..a great map. Also very nice inland. ;)

Most (~80%) have the same name, size as the Kuban RRR textures,
but are "lighter" and .. there was a mod with bump files for this by Uufflakke:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16373.msg180728.html#msg180728 (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16373.msg180728.html#msg180728)
What I tried is: I use this textures and the bump files in Kuban RRR now, works OK.
Whats your oppinion about this, cyberolas, Uufflakke?
I haven't tried out the bumph files on this map yet.
I bumpmapped several other maps and it adds a certain kind of depth to textures.
The effects can be very suprising.
Creating bumph files are easy to create, I made a step by step 'tutorial' here for those who are interested:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15200.msg169577.html#msg169577 (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15200.msg169577.html#msg169577)
To make it fit to your personal taste it takes some experimenting and tweaking.
Personally I prefer the more extreme values for bumph files.

Has anyone tried if normal maps work for terrains?
In the case of water textures, there is a "Dot3" suffix after the filename and index number, as in "WaterNoise00Dot3.tga", for the normal map files. Normal maps would, possibly, have a few advantages compared to bump maps - the most important one being that they would not displace the surface, whereas a BumpH map will move the surface up or down which might result in a strange situation where the collision mesh is not exactly where the terrain surface is rendered.
I noticed this with my water mod (more pronounced than with stock water), but it isn't really a problem there since seaplanes float in the water rather than on top of it. With terrain it could be a very potent annoyance (I'm thinking of landing gear sinking in the ground or floating on top of it).
Actually now that I think about it, you can prevent the floating issue by never using colour darker than 50% grey (#808080 in hexcode) in the elevation map. And landing gear sinking to the ground might actually be useful in some cases, since it would look like the aircraft is on soft terrain - if only we had a way of making sure that the resistance is also appropriately increased in those locations, which would mean the aircraft would stop very fast (and probably rip its gear off or at least cause substantial damage).
This would be analogous to gravel traps used in modern airfields, which are installed for the explicit purpose of slowing down heavy aircraft that have landed long or veered off the runway. They are very efficient in bleeding energy. However I suspect such physics change cannot be easily done...
-
Uufflakke
Is there any chance you could upload all the Bumph files you have created for the various maps please?
Very much appreciated if you could
regards
slipper
-
I'm unable to save .ntrk with this mod, is that normal or did I screw something up in the install process? Thanks TC
-
Hm, I have no experience with saving ntrk. But I have experience with problems of saving mission in campaign (for example in Thailand map). Maybe is it similar. Try universal static.ini checker. Maybe you don´ t have some object in map. Most of object is default, but two hangars is from HANGAR MOD. It is very old mod and if you use ultrapack or HFSX, you must have it.
-
Dear heavenly Mr. Cyberolas,
Sir,
I'll thank you very much for the Kuban_RRR mapmod...!
GREATFUL! ;D
PERFECT! ;D
GENIAL! ;D
WONDERFUL! ;D

Ok, I found the missing objects, it was the hangar like you mentioned, now do I locate them in the full.ini and add the two lines to my static.ini or do I have to find the hangar mod and install it? Also are the missing line added to the bottom of the static.ini? Thanks TC
-
Yes, you must find hangar mod and instal it. Added lines to static. ini is one of steps instalation.
-
cyberalos>>>Just compared the two maps and this is an awesome improvement over original...but???...question??? Why didn't you include the files from link on page two of this thread and also have an all.ini readme included with download. Then it would be a complete and goof-proof mod...simple-pimple...anyway, thanks a whole-kuban for this! :)
-
Hm, maybe you are right badderger. But I think SAS visitors can instal maps without readme and similar files... All.ini file have all the people original, somebody use HFSX, somebody UP.3, I have my personal all.ini for example.
You don´t need files from page two, if you instal map like repaint and overwrite default map.
-
Remember cyberalos, some of us we are novices. I like il-2 but I do not skills on to computer to have. Was taken 3 mistakes to figure this one out and almost gave up. But I to learn and will on to try more. Glad I keep trying. This map is beautiful. And I visit friends in Kuban was from my native home in Germany. Much thanks you.
-
Great work on this! and also with Crimea :)

Excellent work again, thanks a lot cyberolas!
cyberolas....does we have a chance for a winterversion from that awesome map?
-
I think, it isn´t any missions for winter, is it?
I don´t have any textures for winter. For winter version we must have new actors.static file and this is a lot of work, really...

Hello,
I noticed in this and later also on other maps that the waves run very fast, when I watched them.
Is there a specific entry which determines the speed of waves?
Cheers
PS: I try myself on bumps later today (thanks again Uufflakke for your tuto), any chance of some Uufflakke magic here? :D
-
Hm, I don´t know which file is for waves. I didn´t change anything.
-
I think it is just default, yet on some maps waves run a bit faster on the shoreline (the whitewater waves).
No problemo, cyberolas! :)
Cheers!
Thorsten
-
Fantastic job on this map cyberolas, the landscape is really convincing now. Any plans to revamp other default maps?
-
Plans, plans...just now I take rest. And...............I never say anything about my next plans....:) Thank you for your message!
-
How do i change in slovakian campaign career your kuban map instead of default? Thnx
-
If you have this map like retextured (not RRR_Kuban in name), you have no problem. If you want change mission, than you must look on il-2_1946 root adresar/missions/campaign/sk/dgen_a_kuban43doe3/19456.mis (or similar numbers) and rewrite it. You can change name of map (if you want play with RRR_version), Cloudtype, Cloudheight, time and so on...

Thank you very much for help

As a BumpH file addict I thought it would be nice to add some BumpH files to the Kursk map.
https://www.mediafire.com/?ya76f4aw2f934py (https://www.mediafire.com/?ya76f4aw2f934py)

Thank you very much Uuflakke!

Here's my small contribution to updating the look of this wonderful map. New ed maps with satellite overlays and the usual bunch of colorful flags and posters. Also has a new texts.txt file to slightly reposition the town names into place due to use of different town symbols.
Just overwrite existing files if you want to use, but backup first.
And many thanks to uuffllakke for the bumpH files ...

Cyberolas thanks for this great work and Uufflakke for beautiful bumps files !
But I have one problem on this retextured maps, I can't save campaign progress, when I'm playing this maps. On other old maps it's all okay !
I have Il-2 v4.11.1m with mods !
-
Yes, I know this problem. Look there at objects from hangar mod and hangar mod2

Booooys! Winter map? And there were any fights in history? I like you, but this...I won´t plane any like this.
-
Would someone please point me to Hangar MOD and Hangar MOD2? I can't seem to locate.
Is it included in UP3 already maybe?

Oh Cybie,
please do not take offense, a little bit of snow on Kuban - why not?

AFAIK: yes.
-
Hi!
I was asking not only for Kuban map but for all your maps in general....
-
+1 Walter :)
-
OK, generaly - where were fights in winter?
Crimea?
Kuban?
Kursk?
Prokhorovka?
More inportant - Have we got any campaign for winter fights over these areas?
And next thing (most inportant, unforunately) - I haven´t invented way for creating winter textures yet.
-
Personally, I hate winter maps-in all sims. :)
Except some very cool new WIPs I've either seen or flown and the South Georgia area.
-
Hi!
I specifiy that this is most for speech than to a real request....
In the Kuban after Germans reach the Elbrus (IIRC) in late 42 the operation in the Stalingrad area impose to withdrawal from Caucasus and start to have stiffen fight in the Kuban where Soviet pressure increased after German slow down due the need of still keep Rostov and Kertch for further operation.
Crimea was fully reoccupied by Russians in spring of 1944 after the operation in Ukraine with the last troops leaving Sevastopol by ships. But in the meantime some air activity against the latter location was occurred.
Kursk and Prokhorovka should have seen some activity in the latter part of the Harkov battles (IIRC the 4th) when the German regain lost area after winter 42 withdrawal.
-
And next thing (most inportant, unforunately) - I haven´t invented way for creating winter textures yet.
I've experimented with it a while ago. Trying to add layers of snow on an existing summer texture but then ingame I realized texture was not seamless anymore; the infamous tiling effect.
Making a texture seamless wasn't the problem but then the .tga got off set and looks weird with houses and other objects still on the same place during game play.

Making a texture seamless wasn't the problem but then the .tga got off set and looks weird with houses and other objects still on the same place during game play.
The trick with this is first choosing a snow texture that is virtually uniformly white with some random noise or patterns. Then to remove parts of this snow texture by trying to figure out which parts of the original texture would not have snow on it. Typically trees, hedges, paths, roads, the outlines of fields etc would be free of snow, or to a degree less covered. If you do it fairly consistently, with varying degrees of opacity and feathering, then the original objects will still seem to be in the correct place, though - here's a more substantial issue - they will most likely be summer objects, not houses or buildings with snow covered roofs ...
The biggest job is however getting village and urban textures looking believably wintery. Especially with the striking photographic textures used on these maps ... that's a whole different kind of work ...

Hi, Bomberkiller !
I have downloaded LAL_HANGAR.rar, but my progress in campaign doesn't save again ! Can u post here arhive with HANGAR MOD and HANGAR MOD 2 and static.ini of this mods ? or maybe smbd can ? I really want to play on this beautiful maps, guys help !

Cyberolas - whatever you do next it will be welcome. You are breathing new life into old maps, and that is great.

Isoruku, we (moders, I think) have very well utility static ini checker. Look for it here in this site and try it for check your map. I use it and I´m very satisfied.
Poltava - thank you, I like your campaigns!

Cyberolas - whatever you do next it will be welcome. You are breathing new life into old maps, and that is great.
Hello Cybie,
yes! You really have awaked these old maps back to life!
Hi Poltava,
thank you very much for your words!
Gerhard ;D

Hi Isoroku,
please at first do what Cyberola have written.
Here the link to LAL_Hangar mod:
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=28958 (http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=28958)
The mod is now named only Hangar mod but it is the 2nd version (with 1st version integrated).
Good luck,
Gerhard

Thank you, Bomberkiller and Cyberolas !
I checked with Static.ini checker and added 2 missing objects to my static.ini and now it works ! All progress are saving now on this awesome maps ! And I'm really very happy)))
Thanks a lot !

@ Isoroku Yamamoto: Cool. now you can fully enjoy this true map-art. :)
@Agracier: Short request,if you have the time,can you do a set of ed maps for the rest of Cyberolas retextured maps?
-Prokhorovka
-Smolensk
-Kursk
I think this would be the top for this already High-quality Map repaints!
Regards

@Agracier: Short request,if you have the time,can you do a set of ed maps for the rest of Cyberolas retextured maps?
I happened to have a Prokhorovka set already made - nothing special though:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/chxd5q
I'll see about the others. With inland maps it can sometimes be a long hit and miss process finding the right satellite images ... but I'll try and see what I can up with.
For my favorite maps, especially the newly retextured defaults i like to make ed_maps of my own, just to make them a bit more colorful when first opened up. Default maps are fair game for improvement by anyone ... for other maps it's best to see what the original creators think of course.

Amazing! IL2 needs RENOVATION!
BRAVO!

Thanx again Cyberolas, this is another wonderful Map you worked.

Nice work.
Any idea, how put this map to HSFX 7.0.1?
Thanks.

Ondrejone, I use only SASMOD activator, but these questions somebody answered in some other topic. Try to search, please...

That, however is the UP3/DBW based method, but still contains tips maybe relevant for you. ;)
Be aware for this method you need to have a DBW install.

Hello Cyberolas,
As requested, I redirect my reply to this topic.
I started from vanila version of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 which is from the original disc, version being 4.0.7. Modding history as follows:
1) Mega Patch IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch (donwloaded name is jamesjones42-Various Files-4.12.2 Mega Patch-2014086-b14)
2) SAS_JSGME_Options_for_Modact_5.3x
3) SAS_AI_Flyables_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m
4) SAS_Modact_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m
5) Putting your map in, extract the following 2 folders and moved to...
5.1) _Tex folder moved to {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\MAPS\, when asked overwrite, hit Yes;
5.2) Kuban moved to {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\MAPS\.
I ran into troubles when trying to create missions from FMB (Full Missions Builder). After using the great tool Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3 and it reported 2 missing objects, apparently from your map. These 2 missing objects are:
1) buildings$Luft_Hangar
2) buildings$T2_Hangar
Then I started searching for solutions from everywhere, quite tedious to be honest and sorry for being blunt. I bumped into one of the topics in this forum after google'ing, reading, redirecting and learned that there is an Object Pack. After downloading and unzipping, I finally obtained 31 .7z files which I believe contain the 2 missing objects I was looking for. I found them from one of these 31 .7z files, and extract them out. Each one of them are in a folder namely
1) Luft_Hangar
2) T2_Hangar
And from the zip file, I inferred that they should belong to the following paths:
3do\Buildings\Industrial
So out of sheer guess, I placed them under the following path
{Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\3do\Buildings\Industrial\
Then I edit the static.INI file under {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects and add the followings about the 2 objects
[buildings.House$Luft_Hangar]
Title Luftwaffe_Hangar
MeshLive 3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/live.sim
MeshDead 3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/dead.sim
AddHeightLive -2.0
AddHeightDead -2.0
Body RockBig
Panzer 0.34
[buildings.House$T2_Hangar]
Title T2_Hangar
MeshLive 3do/Buildings/Industrial/T2_Hangar/live.sim
MeshDead 3do/Buildings/Industrial/T2_Hangar/dead.sim
Body RockBig
Panzer 0.34
I obtained the buildings.House$Luft_Hangar when I was reading your Ardennes Map where you supplie us with the lines. But I could not found that for buildings.House$T2_Hangar. After many searches, I incidentally found the lines in the full_static.INI files that comes with the Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3! So I put the lines into the static.INI file and then I use Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3 to check again, BINGO this time, all missing objects are found.
It's an adventure! Like playing an adventure games, going here and there looking for missing objects.[
That's it. I didn't use the Mod Activator for 4.12.2m, would that make much difference from what I have got so far, graphics-wise, better texture and hue?
I have modified the conf.INI file to the follows

Looks like that after changing Forest to 4, more trees appear, but that was under Render_DirectX, and I am running the game under Open_GL. Why is that so. Please see the attached pic anyway.
Cyberolas, your youtube video shows much better graphics, how do you do that? What am I missing here?
I want to attach a .TRK file, how do I do that?

The pictures tell me that youre graphics setup is ok, forrest=3 is the maximum setting for OpenGL.
In DirectX you can not have forrest=4 only 2, thats the maximum, forrest=3 is an OpenGL only feature. Check the manual.pdf for confirmation.
Btw water looks a bit weird, check out water=3 or 4 in OpenGL, maybe try carsmasters water mod.
-
Yes, water in that screenshot has the appearance of an elephant skin. :D
Like vpmedia said change settings in conf.ini to water=3 or improve graphics of water.

This is how my water looks on Kuban map wit watermod and water=4:

post a picture (http://postimage.org/)
About the YouTube video.
The reason why it looks better than what you see on your monitor depends on several things.
First of all Cyberolas edited the video, for instance it is less saturated, and what hardware you have and your conf.ini settings.
And perhaps he has some mods installed you don't have right now. It might help to install one of the cloud mods which you can find in the Visuals section.
If possible change settings of shadows to get translucent instead of 'dotted' shadows I see on your screenshots.
About the screenshots you posted I notice something else. Your houses do have another 'skin' than I have in game. I became aware of it since I noticed a winter version of a houseblock (the yellow one with the white snow covered roof.)

For NVidia cards water=4 is the max and optimum, for AMD water=2!

Thanks Uufflakke for your reply!
I will try Water=4. The Water Mod is on JSGME.
I ran into another issue that I have just noticed, I wonder you are experiencing the same: when viewing the plane externally, I notice objects houses as well as trees in a distance are popping up as the plane moves forward, just like what you see in FSX. What are the cause of this issue?
I have just reset the 3D Settings in the nVidia Control Panel and the popping up issue seems to have been improved. But now shimmering effects appear! :(

Thanks VPMedia! Talking about the various parameters in the OpenGL section, what are the maximum values of each parameter? I want to stretch them to their limits and see if it improves the image quality further.

@Device6:
To start with: please don't quote someone else's post with pictures included. Does have to do with bandwith or loading time on other computers. ;)
The pop up issue we all have to deal with. Regardless settings or hardware. It has to do with IL2 limitations unless someone decide to redo LODs (=level of detail) of every single object in game.
Also the upcoming simulator Battle of Stalingrad still has the same issue in a few occasions (trees, smoke and fences) from what I've seen in videos.
About the shimmering: there is somewhere a setting to eliminate the shimmering. I forgot what it was in conf.ini though.
I found an explanation of settings in conf.ini from years ago at AllAircraftSimulations. Some settings might have changed over the years but it clarifies what each entry does.
Forget about DirectX and concentrate on OpenGL.
This configuration file is a documentation of their entries in the IL-2- conf.ini. This file is located in the root directory of IL-2.

Hi folks,
I have new shots. Video is in the making, need some time to sort out a couple of issues with the recording software.
BTW, the game is brilliant. I can see magnificent scene along the shorelines: sea water washes the sand on the shore, animated vividly, impressive!!
Also the ground texture is rendered so well that they don't give you a feeling of a groups of flat surface put together to form a hill or mountain. And you know what: when look at them from a distance, they are quite 3D stereo. And the sea surface reflects the mountains, it does even better than FSX.
My installation is : 4.12.2m + SAS_JSGME_Options_for_Modact_5.3x + SAS_AI_Flyables_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m + SAS_Modact_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m. BUT I have enabled none of the mods in JSGME. Even without them, the game looks so fabulous!
Also, nothing done on NVidia Control Panel, no AA, no AF...just the default and there are no jaggies observed. Shimmering also less obvious now.

By the way, is it true that Spitfire don't have aileron Trim?
I dug up Cliff of Dover and installed it for the last couple of days and tried that also, the Spit in that game also doesn't seemn to have aileron trim, worst, it dives and always banks to the right.
How do I maintain a level flight in a Spit?

Burinis,
This is more of a "Technical Help" forum question.
You will need to have "Perfect" settings able to work in your graphics setup. You may need to get a better graphics card to do so (or may not).

CzechTexan, thank you! The thing is, I play on a laptop. In the settings of the NVIDIA control panel there was a discrete graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 625M). I turned on Intel integrated video card - the problem has miraculously disappeared. If I turn on the discrete from NVIDIA, there is no problem either.
