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).

Small update:
 I was playing around with trying to replicate how bump mapping is done in CloD in order to use some new bumps for the modified terrain textures. Here's what I came up with (Ali, please tell me if this is wrong, as it's a bit weird, but actually seems to work)... Firstly, I extracted a normal map with crazybump- and then the red channel of the normal map, I put into RGB of the modified bump. The green channel of the normal, I put into the alpha channel. Then I saved out as DXT5 (there was a little bit of trial and error in this). Anyway, I tested this new bump out in CloD's evening lighting. Here are some pics... (please ignore the white empty parts, there's no texture in there yet)    There's still quite a way to go with these textures, but I should proably say, I'm becoming pretty inspired to push ahead now. I'm quite happy with the way things are looking already. The bump map is working (even though I might be doing something wrong there), and I generally feel that the terrain is starting to be lifted to quite a nice level graphically. In motion, things are really starting to look great. Ok, back to work, Last edited by Ekar; 07-19-2011 at 10:04 PM.

I'm trying to work out what happened. They showed up when I first made the post, but now they don't.
If you right click the broken link icon and copy url, then you can see the images. I'll edit this post when I've fixed things.
