[WIP] Ground texture mod

its Work In Progress. ive kinda given up in favour of awaiting the SDK (software design kit) because of the multitude of problems in re hashing 1C,s work for a more appealing mod.

However Ekar is doing some good work of his own within the remit of whats possible presently, It is very time consuming but he'll get there and im happy to help him.

When will u release a first beta???
i cant wait

the current textures partly appear so unrealistic that there is simply no fun flying another mission.


i feel like flying in my märklin model railway


Vanilla Dust, dawn and night looks acceptable.

Out of curiosity, is there a way for us to manually compress the image files that are causing issues? I have no idea if this is possible, just throwing out an idea.

manually compress. these textures are DDS textures, they could be put into some sort of container but presently and before any SDK output work they have to lie in a raw state. The files exist in an .SHS file that is a container but im not sure if it uses any compression tech.

i will consider doing a half size texture replacement pack next week. my expereinces with them as posted here* were inconclusive in there findings about creating better performance.
