thx for the appreciations.

ive given the mod to 3 peoples to try out. the first feedback comment is as i had half expected. Shimmering textures out at the horizon. This is related to mip map settings upon generating them.

Does anyone have any experience with this out of interest from other games modding ? i believe i can fix it but not 100% certain as ive never had the problem before when working with dds& mipmap profiles.

Another issue is the realisation that using Original or even High general texture settings is the root cause of Stuttering in IL2. When you set High your actually using a stage 2 mipmap of the texture. which is always half the resolution of the prior mip map. etc etc. The haze effect might need to be removed coz of this. the mod is for using using High or original settings explicitly due to the special haze effect ive added via the mip maps (your answer pupaxx).
