[jcmmota]

[Rassva]

I went to Kelekole Pass , Incredible Views

the mod is very good

[Tool831]

Excellent, thanks mate. I am using the 'HDU' makes it 100% better, only thing now would be the hill quality. :cheeky:

[Opelos_HUN]

[Tob-Racer]

Oh my god! Thank you so much!

[diegorborges]

Maybe I'll try the HD100... as I'm using a Geforce 8600GT 512mb.

[Djey]

Can't wait to see screenshots taken with HDU mode :drool:

[powerslave]

Does it also increase traffice vehicles visibility distance?

 

Awesome, gonna test HDU today :)

[2CV SUPER GT]

Thanks for knid words all :)

 

@ powerslave : no, only affect object spawned on the 7 activated area when you are playing

[viper1]

its a awesome mod:thumbsup::thumbsup:thanks

[GWTBialy]

This is incredible! (Clarkson's Ferrari 458 Italia test style :D)

[TheDuck38]

Will try this right now... looks very promising !!!

[sann]

Job well done mates!

[Rubie38]

You have the eye of Hubble Djey! Thank you very much. ;)

Excellent, thanks mate. I am using the 'HDU' makes it 100% better, only thing now would be the hill quality. :cheeky:

 

:) True!

But that would be quite complex as there are 2 factors to be considered:

 

1. I think Geometry detail cannot be changed. (It looks quite lame when far away coastline is only a few polygons, or far away mountains are simple triangles.)

But I guess the island is divided up to different sections (or "levels" if you like) that are loaded in real time when you get near them and these cannot be just set visible by distance view setup.

 

2. And distance map texture quality. (Maybe this can be updated with higher resolution map textures somehow)

 

 

Anyway it's a very nice mod, I like that the "uninstall" feature is also implemented, however I don't understand the description:

 

SD = all the the objects appears more far as possible in the level of details "medium", or their only one level of details in the case there is not other (levels of detail "low" disappears).

 

LOL WUT? I cannot comprehend it.

[CarlosVega]

This is excellent! Downloading now ... thank you! :)

[Brian]

Awesome work guys! Thank you!

[powerslave]

It's awesome, but too resources consuming. I'm using illusion's island paradise with 2d nature v5 and on HDU my FPS dropped from 80 to 20 (on vulcano looking on valley and that's not acceptable for me, I've also tested other versions but I've found them pretty useless for me with 2d nature high trees, becuase I don't see that far anyway :) But if I wouldn't use any other enviroment mod - then I would use it for sure :D

 

Have you guys checked if there is anyway to make traffic cars visible on more distance? Cheers!

[philippeapo]

Big work as usual, i know you can do more and more ....+rep

[2CV SUPER GT]

SD = all the the objects appears more far as possible in the level of details "medium", or their only one level of details in the case there is not other (levels of detail "low" disappears).

 

LOL WUT? I cannot comprehend it.

 

There is 3 level of detail for each object called H (High), M (Medium) and L (Low)

 

 

Some object have only 1 form (H), some other have only 2 forms (H & M).

 

 

In SD mode,

 

 

L object disappear

 

I ve modifyed all M object to be able to appear until San Francisco

 

Same for 1 form only objects.

 

so you will seen all the objects in SD mods at any distance, but distance LOD (=Level Of Details) fo H objects will be the same as the original game.

 

SD is the better optimization.

 

 

Sorry my english level make me cannot explain you more if you do not understand.

Looks good :) (using HD 300 on a 1GB 9800GT)

 

this shows the difference well :)

[Camel]

Great work, really well done. And that above screenshot shows how much of a difference it has made.
