Nice work.
Any idea, how put this map to HSFX 7.0.1?
Thanks.

#53.

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=35419.48

That, however is the UP3/DBW based method, but still contains tips maybe relevant for you. 
Be aware for this method you need to have a DBW install.

[ondrejone]

Thanks, I´ll try.

Good Luck!

Hello Cyberolas,

As requested, I redirect my reply to this topic.

I started from vanila version of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 which is from the original disc, version being 4.0.7.  Modding history as follows:

1) Mega Patch IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch (donwloaded name is jamesjones42-Various Files-4.12.2 Mega Patch-2014086-b14)
2) SAS_JSGME_Options_for_Modact_5.3x
3) SAS_AI_Flyables_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m
4) SAS_Modact_5.30_for_IL-2_4.12.2m
5) Putting your map in, extract the following 2 folders and moved to...
    5.1) _Tex folder moved to {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\MAPS\, when asked overwrite, hit Yes;
    5.2) Kuban moved to {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\MAPS\.

I ran into troubles when trying to create missions from FMB (Full Missions Builder).  After using the great tool Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3 and it reported 2 missing objects, apparently from your map.  These 2 missing objects are:

1) buildings$Luft_Hangar
2) buildings$T2_Hangar

Then I started searching for solutions from everywhere, quite tedious to be honest and sorry for being blunt.  I bumped into one of the topics in this forum after google'ing, reading, redirecting and learned that there is an Object Pack.  After downloading and unzipping, I finally obtained 31 .7z files which I believe contain the 2 missing objects I was looking for.  I found them from one of these 31 .7z files, and extract them out.  Each one of them are in a folder namely

1) Luft_Hangar
2) T2_Hangar

And from the zip file, I inferred that they should belong to the following paths:

3do\Buildings\Industrial

So out of sheer guess, I placed them under the following path

{Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\MAPMODS\3do\Buildings\Industrial\

Then I edit the static.INI file under {Root Folder of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946}\#SAS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects and add the followings about the 2 objects

Code: [Select]

[buildings.House$Luft_Hangar]
Title           Luftwaffe_Hangar
MeshLive        3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/live.sim
MeshDead        3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/dead.sim
AddHeightLive    -2.0
AddHeightDead    -2.0
Body            RockBig
Panzer          0.34

[buildings.House$T2_Hangar]
Title           T2_Hangar
MeshLive        3do/Buildings/Industrial/T2_Hangar/live.sim
MeshDead        3do/Buildings/Industrial/T2_Hangar/dead.sim
Body            RockBig
Panzer          0.34

I obtained the buildings.House$Luft_Hangar when I was reading your Ardennes Map where you supplie us with the lines.  But I could not found that for buildings.House$T2_Hangar.  After many searches, I incidentally found the lines in the full_static.INI files that comes with the Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3!  So I put the lines into the static.INI file and then I use Universal Static.INI Checker Ver 1.3 to check again, BINGO this time, all missing objects are found.

It's an adventure! Like playing an adventure games, going here and there looking for missing objects.[

That's it.  I didn't use the Mod Activator for 4.12.2m, would that make much difference from what I have got so far, graphics-wise, better texture and hue?

I have modified the conf.INI file to the follows

Looks like that after changing Forest to 4, more trees appear, but that was under Render_DirectX, and I am running the game under Open_GL. Why is that so.  Please see the attached pic anyway.

Cyberolas, your youtube video shows much better graphics, how do you do that?  What am I missing here?

I want to attach a .TRK file, how do I do that?

[vpmedia]

The pictures tell me that youre graphics setup is ok, forrest=3 is the maximum setting for OpenGL.
In DirectX you can not have forrest=4 only 2, thats the maximum, forrest=3 is an OpenGL only feature. Check the manual.pdf for confirmation.

Btw water looks a bit weird, check out water=3 or 4 in OpenGL, maybe try carsmasters water mod.

[Uufflakke]

Yes, water in that screenshot has the appearance of an elephant skin. 
Like vpmedia said change settings in conf.ini to water=3 or improve graphics of water.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15180.0.html

This is how my water looks on Kuban map wit watermod and water=4:


post a picture

About the YouTube video.
The reason why it looks better than what you see on your monitor depends on several things.
First of all Cyberolas edited the video, for instance it is less saturated, and what hardware you have and your conf.ini settings.
And perhaps he has some mods installed you don't have right now. It might help to install one of the cloud mods which you can find in the Visuals section.

If possible change settings of shadows to get translucent instead of 'dotted' shadows I see on your screenshots.

About the screenshots you posted I notice something else. Your houses do have another 'skin' than I have in game. I became aware of it since I noticed a winter version of a houseblock (the yellow one with the white snow covered roof.)

For NVidia cards water=4 is the max and optimum, for AMD water=2!

Water=3 makes nos ense IMHO.

Thanks Uufflakke for your reply!

I will try Water=4. The Water Mod is on JSGME.

I ran into another issue that I have just noticed, I wonder you are experiencing the same: when viewing the plane externally, I notice objects houses as well as trees in a distance are popping up as the plane moves forward, just like what you see in FSX.  What are the cause of this issue?

I have just reset the 3D Settings in the nVidia Control Panel and the popping up issue seems to have been improved.  But now shimmering effects appear!

Thanks VPMedia!  Talking about the various parameters in the OpenGL section, what are the maximum values of each parameter?  I want to stretch them to their limits and see if it improves the image quality further.

[Uufflakke]

@Device6:
To start with: please don't quote someone else's post with pictures included. Does have to do with bandwith or loading time on other computers. 

The pop up issue we all have to deal with. Regardless settings or hardware. It has to do with IL2 limitations unless someone decide to redo LODs (=level of detail) of every single object in game.
Also the upcoming simulator Battle of Stalingrad still has the same issue in a few occasions (trees, smoke and fences) from what I've seen in videos.

About the shimmering: there is somewhere a setting to eliminate the shimmering. I forgot what it was in conf.ini though.
I found an explanation of settings in conf.ini from years ago at AllAircraftSimulations. Some settings might have changed over the years but it clarifies what each entry does.
Forget about DirectX and concentrate on OpenGL.
