I think that drawing parrarrel comparison between FSX and Falcon is not effective or of practical use. Sure we would perhaps love to have same here, but it is not the same league.Over 50 different textures all with ability to have autogen, real time textures blending and transitioning, vector graphics in respect to water and roads, etc., etc. All is much more advanced than older original Falcon terrain concept with nothing, but few flat prerendered generic and transition textures and few sparse 3D objects in database. Bottom line of end point of my “tyrrade” here, that with very small exceptions, we cannot generally match FS terrain standards in Falcon.
DSC’s EDGE (not shown) terrain system on the other hand is reportedly simpler but rather even more impressive than FSX. Perhaps it is there is where some of our attention should be directed and inspiration and experience drawn from. If information is available, that is……
Hey Polak,
FSX was just one example. Your are definitely right, the DCS terrain might work as well. I didn’t compare F4 to FSX, I compared F4 to any “modern” (max 8yr old flight sim) and F4 sucks in regards to terrain. My point was just that the terrain engine needs a major overhaul. Something that was said years ago already, but was rejected, because there would be too much work redoing all the theaters and campaigns.
Now - afaik - there is work done, but the people developing theaters here get little to no information. I’m just wondering why the devs just can’t say: “Look we are working on this and that…”.
Apart from that - Fighting Falcon, your tiles look great! It definitely has that Mediterranean feeling.

Hey Rudy, I have installed the theater and the new folders from your mod, ( after carefully backing up the originals…!!) and can see the new terrain tiles etc as here:
I have tried a few different areas, but could find anywhere that looked like the preview screens shown earlier in this thread, am I missing something or have I installed wrong? There does not seem to be any photoreal tiles? Really like the new field tiles BTW, there seems to be much less obvious repetition in the patterns. Great work !
Cheers, Mark

I have the same question like markturner about the photo real textures.
Good job bro

I have the same question, i have test flown but was not able to see any of those nice terrain textures as in the posted pictures. I’ve copied the folders (terrain, texture) to the balkans folder after backing up the original folders. Secondly, i see a lot of texture shimmering in the distance, donno if this was before too, because never really started yet in balkans.
*i use the balkans install and with the HOT FIX1 for Balkans BMS converted v1.0. I do not have the other fixes installed.
Thanks for your help and directions!

ok Dema, what have we done wrong? I have:
Installed the latest version of BMS balkans.
Installed the hotfix
Unzipped the terrain mod.
Saved a copy of the original folders ( Terrain & Texture) in Falcon BMS 4.32/Data/Add-on Balkans/Terrdata
Copied in the folders terrain and texture that were in the mod download folder to the above directoryStarted the sim in Balkans
So where is the mistake please?
Cheers, Mark

I just renamed my
texture folder
terrain folderin texture2, terrain2
then I copied the new 2 folders inside Terrdata.
new terrain folder > 121 MB (127.891.871 byte)
new texture folder > 333 MB (349.627.278 byte)I hope you did not overwrite the files.
After this, as you know Italy has different scenarios around, and all Balkans too. Just find the right places where to see somenthing the nature gave to us.
Example:
Mountains north Aviano
Lake in Kukes area, Podgorica, Tivat.New sea and water colors in the costs are present around the cost in Italy.
I flown just 2 times till now and just in Italy on east cost.Do me a favour please, try to land in Aviano and tell me if you explode, thanks in advance.

ok dema …… link for Fix http://www.adrive.com/public/EdMp5U/Fix aviano e brindisi.rar
replace tile end texture.bin -
Well, I have the files the correct size in the folder as described in my original post, and did not overwrite the originals……but see nothing like your shots, just how I see in the screenshot.
Are the photoreal tiles everywhere, or just in specific limited locations?

For now only in specific places … it takes off from capodichino … and watch;)
Soon everything will be covered in photorealistico … we need people for flight tests etc etc. … recruitment open. -
Count me in if you wish. First I need to reinstall Balkans lol.

Hi Rudy, happy to help, I am already keen to learn how to work on Falcon terrain and textures, and had experience of making photoscenery for FSX, so anything I can do to help, I would be very pleased. Just let me know. i did also have a copy of global mapper, but I have not used for about 2 years……
So, you think my install is ok, but I just have not been anywhere where the new textures are then? can you post a screeny of the areas where there are tiles ( use the instant action GUI screen, where you move the area of your intended flight)or maybe a basic map showing the areas?
