LOL that ain't gonna happen

Try checking your graphics settings and set it to highest detail...

That's got it! Much better - thanks guys!

Thanks Wrench - that's got it!

I don't seem to have a NATIONS.ini file in Flight or elsewhere??

Hmm mine looks quite good not perfect but quite good, although main texture being Steel2.bmp is 2048x2048 here

 

Mine was 5000x5000!

Have reduced it to 2048x2048 and it does look a little better, I think - stiil not great, though

artifacts cause by "skin stretching'

 

no fix is possible (yes, I've tried redrawing the lines, and they still blur) we need the MAX files so it can be remapped

Thanks Wrench - OK, thought it must be a problem with my install as the sreenshot supplied with the Ark Royal file looks fine

Hi all,

just installed SF2 NA, and the 1975 Northern Sabre campaign expansion. However, the deck of Ark Royal is very blurred. The other carriers seem to be OK.

Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it?

thanks

Paul

Thanks Eric - got it

Stary:

 

Actually, he doesn't need to do anything with the .TOD files. The trees were "disappeared" in the SF2V Expansion pack by replacing the tree TGAs with clear TGAs. All he needs to do is copy the tree TGAs from one of the sub-folders within the terrains to the main directory, overwriting the clear tree TGAs.

Thanks Eric. I've looked in the Low, Medium & High Detail directories in the Mods \ Terrains structure and can find no TGA files - only TOD?? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Paul

You can re-install the trees into the mod and it looks even better. You just have ro remember that you will occasionally see the trees through the clouds when the clouds are between you and the ground.

 

Me, I prefer to see the trees and I just ignore the occasional "alpha" clashes.

How do you reinstall the trees? Just copy over from the Large, Medium, etc detail directory?

Thanks

If you installed the post-Dec2009 files (I'm assuming you're not running at the Jun2009b patch level or earlier), then you're not seeing tree because they were taken out. The trees were removed because the Dec2009 and later patch levels have a graphics anomaly that causes unsightly effects when viewing the trees through clouds, which is a big problem on this terrain given all the mountains.

 

The ReadMe has a section on this issue.

OK, thanks Eric. I read the ReadMe, but I thought it was suggesting trees could be "disappeared" if they caused a problem, not that they had been removed.

Awesome mod, by the way!

Hi,

I've just installed this great expansion on a clean copy of SF2V (not merged) on Vista 64 Home Premium, using the 4 Gold installer files and the Jul 10 update.

It looks to have installed OK (I can see separate N & S Vietnam terrains), but I'm seeing no trees at all - any ideas, anyone?

All graphics options set to highest

Thanks

Paul
