Hello all,
I just wanted to say Wow! I had left JF-18 some time ago, after the various issues with banding and everything else, but am amazed at how it's still managed to progress after more than 10 years.
Has there been any work in updating the scenery, as best as can be expected with a rather dated engine. I am honestly looking forward to the VRS Tacpack and FSX@war to be released to take the FSX VRS Superhornet to a higher graphic level. The upside to FSX, obviously grpahics, however, the upside to JF-18 is the mission and campaign immersion. Please don't mistake my remark as a knock against JF-18, I think what you've done is fantastic and really looking forward to getting back into this sim for it's depth of immersion.
Matt

There is a 'Terrain Detail Improvement' you can easily install. It's not anything like FSX scenery, but it does make a difference at low altitudes. You can see examples and download => HERE

Thanks Hedgehog for the link. They do look much better than the stock terrain. I am suprised no one has made a tree add on, would really enhance the updated look, though certain it would tear up frame rates too.
Gonna re-install this weekend. Thanks again.
Matt

Rudel,
I will certainly give all of this a go when I get home tonight. I hadn't seen any screenies posted showign trees, so assumed there were none. Since I am taking my laptop to Geek Squad today, free's up much time for using my desktop and getting back into some flight sims.
Thanks, Matt

Have you installed TSH v4.02? It has tree features Umm, yeah... "trees" in the very loosest sense of the word. I couldn't find any images of the alleged "trees," but when you see them, well... you be the judge.

Tree-like objects... Well, not too bad since it is a dated graphics engine. I'm just suprised how long it's been played and supported, though a bit suprised that someone hasn't tried to update the code for better graphics, such as the tree and objects. Thanks for all the info. Matt
