Wow! Autogenerated terrain is simply amazing.

Slibenli, I don't need to go inside details (I won't probably understand anything about how you got this), but I'm deeply intrigued. Can you explain in simple words how the landscape is generated?

Congratulations!!! I'm following the development of this mod and it is a huge step forward.

See topic: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,18906.msg203459.html#msg203459

I tested only on a clean mods installation 4 09

Thank you for the link. I didn't know about it and it sounds very interesting.

However, I feel that Sita referred to the spiky look of roads on maps. It seems that when coding roads on maps, there are only a few angles available. Thus, if there is a road between two cities A and B at, say 18º eastwards, the road goes in alternative angles of 0º and 45º until the desired angle is reached, like this:
A ----
        \
          ----------
                         \
                           ------------------ B

Maybe someone could develop a mod that broadens the available angles for roads to get a straight way from A to B. Rounded turns could also be added to roads instead of the current spiky ones.
It is just a suggestion, just in case Slibenli's magic can work on it. I wish I had the knowledge to help on this (and I hope Storebror's wrath does not fall on me ).

Neither of these even remotely resemble what slibenli's IL-2 Graphics Extender does though. Nevertheless, thanks for the heads up regarding y

Of course slibenli's IL-2 Graphics Extend works completely separate from the conf.ini game.

Ops...too much mods in my @SAS 

I forgot to mention the Change Config in Real Time Mod by carsmaster.

No problem, I was just wondering and thought this would need some clarification before people start thinking they could use the commands right away, without any additional mods.
Your FogHaze/FogLow are working with carsmaster's mod, that's just fine (without it, the same flags are accessible to mission builders only).

That's much better than the bullshit being (intentionally?) spread elsewhere, with all those fancy "settings" from that 2003's render flags list which just got dug out of the grave again

No offence meant guys but on the 'other' site its said that this has always been possible using render and the console.cmd? I am guessing thats not correct? So apologies for spreading false info

[SAS~Storebror]

I am guessing thats not correct?

Exactly. It's deliberately intended to mislead uncritical readers.
Not the first time we see such activities from that particular guy, and as long as he's being given a stage for his long running feud with SAS (and that's all what his statements about il2ge or any other mod from here are about), it will almost certainly stay like that.
If you want to be on the safe side, you better don't believe a single word from this guy. Even if he's saying that earth is a sphere, you better watch out not to tilt over the edge.

Works flawless and with good performance on my somewhat modded vpmedia install, even with smokedistance view 30k .Just tried it on the MTO map. This is a game changer, the autogen feature is insane !!!  Never expected something like that. Unbelievable !!!

Slibenli, I don't need to go inside details (I won't probably understand anything about how you got this), but I'm deeply intrigued. Can you explain in simple words how the landscape is generated?

I use a noise generator to create the height map.
The textures are selected based on terrain elevation and slope.
Also a noise function is used to generate some variation in the selected textures.

Well, roads are a rather different topic.
So far il2ge only renders the terrain surface - roads on the other hand are drawn as separate objects on top of the terrain surface.

I'll look a that eventually, but ATM I need a break from bug hunting

   Sorry but I don't understand what do you mean by saying "create il2ge.ini with the content...."  where should I do this? do I have to create a new folder?
