Runway Textures
-
Thank you Arty
-
I vote for Arty!

Downloading….oooo Arty, I’ll be testing these in the morning, I’ll be back to tell you how great you are.
-
Ok I downloaded these and just did a copy of the KoreaOBJ folder and copied over the new files so I could easily flip between modded and unmodded. Since Osan was mentioned I went there via the Nav and Timing TE.
A lot of the corners were spot on in the junctions but some were off by a small bit. I’m guessing there is a limitation to some of the taxiway to runway joins as I see that even in your modded one some of the yellow taxi lines are pointed off towards the overrun area. Not sure if real taxiways to runways look like that as well and unmodded showed the exact same taxi lines to overrun.
One thing I noticed right off the bat and I had to flip back to unmodded to see if it was the same was seeing the taxi line and the side lines just appear from nowhere say a plane length and 1/2 ahead of me. Unmodded was the same and I’m guessing why I never noticed it before is because the default colors don’t pop out nearly as much as yours. So the effect is definitely a BMS thing but because the colors were sharp the effect was a little distracting.
I had lined up on runway 09 and instead of taking off I just taxied the length of the runway to get a look at the mod. When I reached the end of the runway I DID get some video hitching right around and in the last block of the runway there. I swapped back to default and duplicated the test as a litmus to the video hitching and got none at that same point on the default.
Overall extremely good work.

When u say video hitching u mean fps drop?
-
Arty, Phait and anyone who is also doing work for this mod, thanks for this very good job!
-
Arty,
Thanks for your effort and sharing your hard work! But I have questions.
WIP3? Then what would you include in WIP4? grass on runway like DCS one? What number would be your final version you expect? -
Well the numbering ain’t for improvements on those but for completion mostly. The project ain’t finished yet thus WIP=Work In Progress. I have to finish: Sunan CT1397 (1-2 textures IIRC) and Seoul.
Now I owe I-Hawk some changes and whatever comes along and I can do (or willing to do ) from your input guys from using them.
Example Osan as Stubbies2003 reported was the worst as it has very idiomatic uvmaping texturing… The thing is fixing one airbase will brake another. So I chose some to be ok and some not to be ok. Osan is unique but uses areas that are used to many more… So I sacrificed Osan for the majority.
A change that could be made but would be wrong in general principle would be to better align the rwy numbering area on some airports. It would be wrong cause in some other if they are used it will brake those. If I have time and spot which are used only once then I can fix those. The problem resides on the white rwy border lines.
Also what would be great to team up and create new Airports from Scratch. Creating the runway and Taxiway areas it’s just easy as drinking water. In my squad some members made 10 airports in just one week based on Google earth High res photos.
Others used Corel others 3ds max others autocad.
Sure airports ain’t only rwy and twy but it’s a good start and generic airport buildings can be used for starters.Also we could integrate and taxiway rway 3d lights and many other staff… to make them as the real thing… like arresting cables… ILS markings and the most important each different and as close to the real thing we can.
Oh and I owe Demmer a non flat working and not causing aircraft to explode rwy…
-
Just came back from a nice holiday week with alot of sun (and no BMS )and…my, what a nice surprise just in time to get back on the stick!
Fantastic job done here, Arty! Many thanks for sharing it!
BTW, no fps issues here: I5 4460 3.2GHz / GTX 760 2Gb
Keep it up!
-
Greetings. Great looking Mod. Sorry for the “Dumb” question but are all airports been modified? Thanks very much. Jay.

When u say video hitching u mean fps drop?
Yes a momentary drop in FPS. It looks like it “pauses” for a fraction of a second then continues on. Give it a bit more time and more looking around and it will “pause” for a fraction of a second again.
-
well probably the SLI synch thing problem.
-
well probably the SLI synch thing problem.
If the video did it at that point with the default textures loaded I would agree but it does not. I duplicated my taxi down to that area with the defaults loaded and had zero hitching issues.
-
Good job and well done research. What about 2328.dds and 2329.dds? Are they part of any Korean AB?
-
Yeap in fact way too many. Those 2 are taxiway and park area for most of the one rwy airbases. You can see the oil marks inside the shelters… and the heavy engine exhaust on the small parking area next to the 3 Helipads.
-
Sorry but I forgot to thank Phait for bringing up this subject that dragged me in to this.
THANX M8.
-
Great job Arty,
NOT faceing low FPS – " at all "
Great job,
Thanks a lot
-
Hmm strange thing, and happy at the same time. I was expecting more fps issue,. Till now only one via PM. Well probably cause the download count is still low.
Reducing the dds files in photoshop and autosave can be automated? Hmm I must try it. -
@schnidrman and whomever try this reduced size set: http://www.mediafire.com/download/csno5175pd85pkd/Korea%20RT%20wip3%20reduced.rar
Will not look that great but might solve the FPS issues u had.
Please report back… They can be reduced more but let’s hope it will not be needed.
