I just watched a YT video by a Russian guy in which the layered forest undersides were visible. I don't recall ever seeing that before. As far as I recall, those forests always had the undersides invisible.

Anyone know anything further on this?

Think this may be a build available at another site.
9 layers for layered forests.
196 texture slots for maps!!!

isn't that the x64 version at aviaskins?

[genXgamer]

Yep, based on 4.15 if I remember correctly.

I'm guessing this is what Glenn watched.

Ahhh, to dream!

I couldn't understand the Russian narration in that video, although the emphasis seemed to be on attacking armored trains...

It is really a pity that there are bugs to iron out and a lot of work needed to fully adapt maps textures and objects to fully exploit the potential of this development

WhTech could you share the video link?

Shane,
I had to await another of his videos to show up in order to look back through his list:

The author of this video says nothing about the forest layers. Nothing in the video description as well. Just some chit-chat with vague references to something that can be understood by the insiders only.
Ah, and he mentioned that this mission was created as the response to the "Train Busters" mission in BAT.

I didn't understand a word of Russian narration. I was going on the visuals, in which the forest layers are also seen from below. The 'thumbnail' image seen in my previous post shows this as well, which was caught my eye and had me watch the video in the first place.

Does it matter if I say "it still looks scheisse, just differently scheisse"?
I'd give a lung and my liver for side textures to layered forests, but honestly whether this visual crap of an excuse for a forest has 2 or 20 layers, and whether it's green, transparent or dogshit-brown from underneath is really, really my least concern.

Of course it's butt ugly!

But at least when taxying around a field which might happen to have such forest cover intruding rather close to or even over taxi/ stay points one can see the danger. And I've seen more than one map with such situations...
