OF mods: JanHas, realism patch?
-
In a previous thread I asked about the LAU-129 rails that JanHas made for Open Falcon, but I figure it would be best to ask JanHas himself and the participants of this thread. Does anybody have the LAU-129 models that were included in the old “ALW” pack for Open Falcon? I am aware that Skywabie included a new model for the F-16 that includes this updated rail for stations 1 and 9, but i’m looking for the station 2,3,7,8 rails as seen here:

Hi JanHas,
Thank you for this huge work ! Is it possible to have a “clean” tail skin for F-16CJ block 50 package v6? I mean without squadron names on it, thanks again !
-
I’m currently adding some new parts I had laying on the shelf, a better tail too. I’m now retrofitting the rest of the LVN’s. RNLAF/RNoAF LVN’s are converted too. I will release the block 50 psd’s after the latest update. It will be the last update/fixes of the LVN. Those pigs have enough lipstick…
-
Ok, Thank you JanHas!!

Jan, I tried to install your wall mod. Regardless I set for the first two walls 15 for deagg distance and 0 (!) for bubble after the update and recheck the deagg value is 0 bubble is 304000. Is this normal?

I have never edited deagg. and bubble before, so I can’t tell you for now. Just leave them the way they were. If someone knows how those two values work post it please…
-
I found them in your screenshots about data setting for parents. Should I leave the default all of LODs regardless what I can see on data screenshots?
-
Leave the default values for deagg and bubble.

Jan, what is your experience with FPS in case if you use both your wall and tree models? On my rig in an empty TE the FPS sometimes go below 30 where in stock DB the FPS is about 50-55.
-
In similar conditions for me fps drop is around 5 when viewing the trees very close, so this is for lod1. From normal distances >lod1 there is 2-3 fps drop max. Are you sure you have the correct lod distances set?
It might be your vga/drivers, but try to test by increasing and playing with these lod distances.
-
Yes.
Or maybe I my skills are bad configure my graphics settings. I’m asking not because mayself, but If I integrate everything into my MOD and FPS will be bad, the mod becames unusable. I integrated so far some of the normal res walls.
The trees cause me 20-25 FPS decrease from 70-75 in Kunsan to about 50.
-
A dirty solution to people who have a mid-/low spec pc, install only the Tree LOD2 and 3. Instead of three LOD’s you give it two. Use distance for LOD2 and 3 too.
Kunsan is always a trouble spot. I have a good pc and even with stock models I have a fps drop not seen on any other bases.
One important thing about my models. I build my models with the intention that they are good for at least 10 years. The models might by a bit heavy for the current average CPU/GPU but in time with new hardware this problem will disappear. The upgrade of hardware is going a lot faster then building and skinning all those models again. I will try to optimize the models as much as possible but I can’t do miracles. When Falcon 4 was released I, and a lot of people, could not play with high settings. That issue became mood in time. This might sound a bit harsh; if you want BMS with all it best looking mods be prepared to make the CPU/GPU investments. If you are not prepared to do that and still expect to have all the best stuff without a fps hit… well, you should take a closer look at your logic. The new F-16D with the new pylons, fuel tanks, bombs and missiles will be a lot heavier for the computer (6 standard BMS F-16’s = 1 F-16D). If you want to fly it you might need to add a better CPU/GPU to your Christmas shopping list…
-
I do not use your F-16 LODs. The havey FPS drop was also experienced above a general type of airbase. I will test the LOD2/3 tree usage.

SOLUTION:
Naah! Just kidding Jan You rule! Bring it!

sorry for the question!! but is there a download link for the new Model from Janhas? Is this model the one he has been posting progress pictures of in this thread? Please post before and after pics if you don’t mind guys.
I’m not clear on what version of model has been released? If it is that amazing model he has been working on for ages Im surprised there are no pictures posted here of it!I found this link but it does not state “Launch Vipers” is the completed release name? well I skimmed through the text anyway!

The F-16 bloks (single cockpit) are the LV F-16 for OF but they are updated for BMS with some fix, the F-16D is still wip. Please if I´m wrong make the correct corrections (god I´m too drunbk for write in inglish right now :rolleyes: )

I do not use your F-16 LODs. The havey FPS drop was also experienced above a general type of airbase. I will test the LOD2/3 tree usage.
Even the lower res LOD is very good, I use them for both trees but FPS drop is still 30 from 90 (to 60) on my rig.

When I use the LE editor i cant get it to veiw the LOD 1-4 at all. it says where’s falcon and crashes? very weird! I followed the tutorial from Jan step by step but cant get the 3D veiw to work to confirm the LOD’s are replaced?
