Ok
Here's the problem "
I" see here in these comparisons.
I have flow extensively over the South East of England around 3000 - 4000ft over a 20 year period, with the realization we are not going to get photorealistic 3d scenery just yet
bear in mind the rest of this post.
The original textures look better than the ones you have modded in relation to the time of day and season.
Now the reason I say this is that the ones you have done look like they have had a polarizing filter applied, or looks like I'm wearing sunglasses.
I really think because of different graphic setups, monitors and peoples different eyesight, it would be better to have a "saturation slider" to adjust to the persons taste the way the landscape looks.
I have posted lots of pictures here and emailed in the past asking for corrections, but with no luck from Oleg and 1C (back then), Oleg being a keen amateur photographer, may know what he's talking about in the technical side of things, but I know what I have seen with my own eyes over my own country in all different seasons and weather conditions, and to be told by them "thats the way it is no changers we know best" , the only option left is to allow users to adjust it themselves to suit what they consider to be correct.
As for the texture/stutters/lagging etc etc
I'm not convinced its all to do with the sizes of them either.
Perhaps some testing with the original textures downsized, but left as they look, to see if FPS improves at all.
