I much prefer the high end version, by far. Because you made both so easy to switch out, Robert, then it's easy for people to try both and choose. Finally I can really "feel" the aircraft in flight, and at the same time, soak up the atmosphere of the scenery and surroundings with full on detail settings. Amazing stuff.
HarryH, the primary credit goes to Ankor and Yaan98, all I did was package it as JSGME.

[Re: Robert_Wiggins]
I would also like to add my thanks to AnKor, MajorMagee, Yaan, Robert Wiggins, and everyone else for making this mod. Good riddance to blue triangles and scenery/object popping! Now if we could only get rid of cloud popping!
One word of caution, however. Using Yaan's "medium" settings, I experienced one or two CTD's while testing over central London. Lowering the MajorDensity from 0.00046 to 0.00035 seemed to stop the CTD's on my rig, so if anyone else experiences new, unexplained crashes after installing the mod, I would recommend they first try reducing those values.
BTW, I guess I would call my rig either medium or medium-high, with a i5-2500k OC'd to 4.5 GHz, and a Nvidia 1050Ti graphics card.

[Re: Hellshade]
Thx, guys, for outstanding mods. I have tested, checked and compared files and I can confirm the "compositescenerybudgets.xml" files are really misplaced - i.e. high end version is located in medium folder and vice versa. High end folder also misses "shader30" folder with its respective fx files. Robert, could you correct that, pls?

I can confirm that the compositescenerybudgets.xml are not misplaced by me. They are just as they were defined by both Ankor and Yaan98. I can reverse them if advisable, but before doing so, I would appreciate receiving a full copy of the recommended modified ".xml" files, keeping in mind that they should be modelled after the default WOFF versions. What I mean by that is that there should be entries for levels 1 through 5 so that users have the full complement of options.
This will save needless repeats of changes and releases.
If I can get this for both Ankor's and Yaan98's then I will make the changes.
I don't want to do it myself because I do not have the necessary data to modify the files appropriately.
P.S. both mods contain the Shaders30 folder. It is not missing from either mod. are you sure you have downloaded the latest versions of the mods?
Best Regards;

Oh, that seems to be a problem on my computer. Accept my apologies, Robert. I have experienced problems with mod installation due to virus/malware warning, so, it is very probable my mod is corrupted.

No need to apologize Jara. I would appreciate your analysis of the latest mods because you may be able to help make them better. Please keep me informed.

Thanks to all involved. Anyone else getting this weird river tile?
I'm only getting this in the Marne region. (I'm using the High-end mod, because I have a Low-end system) It switches to normal when I get closer.

Haven't seen that one but here is a repeat of my recent post in the DiD Centennary Challenge:
Albert Earl Godfrey
25 Feb 1918 @ 08h22 DOP to Villers-au-Tertre aerodrome
What is worthy of note in the video is the weird terrain tiles which I suspect were affected by cloud cover since they disappear on approach and reappear on withdrawl (09:11:23 minutes in). Anyone else experience this?

Hey Robert, I didn’t get to reading the reports yet, but looks like the river tiles aren’t getting as much love as everything else. Are you using Olham’s brighter rivers mod? Maybe that has something to do with it?

Yeah I have Olham's river tiles mod but it is not enabled, but to be honest, I haven't seen this before and haven't had a chance to experiment with it. Assuming I can duplicate it, I will try a few things. It might be related to shadow casting from the clouds but I am only guessing.

I am also seeing weird river tiles in Flanders. Mine are darker rectangles. Small price to pay for all the other improvements I guess.

If anyone sees this again, please turn on the "Z" key and note the coordinates and please post them here. Tnx

I have experienced the same weird river textures in Flanders ( Lahussoy - Albert). This was only with one version of modded compositescenerybudget file. Unfortunatelly, I do not know which one.

I have it with the high end version, but I also would see it even before using these new mods, just using Ankor's original BT fix. I'll try to get Z coordinates later today for Robert.

I flew a few QC out of Lahussoy - Albert and didn't encounter the problem. I haven't tried a mission in that area yet.UPDATE:
Just flew a mission from Lahoussoye and yes the rectangular river tiles appeared when at a distance but when you approach closer they go away. I have the high end blue triangle fix active. I will try it without the mod and see what happens

[Re: Hellshade]
I just removed the mod and flew another mission and the problem with the river tiles did not occur again.
I suspect something is up with Ankor mod specs but that is above my head.
