Mods changing Stalingrad/environment?

[Beamer]

Hi there, just bougth the game a few days ago and so far love it. The planes are fantastic and combat is fun.

What kinda bothers me though is the actual look of Stalingrad itself. The city looks very lackluster and in my opinion a bit lazily designed, graphics wise. I know this game focuses on air combat and the planes itself, but it is such a discrepancy between the ugly graphics of the city and the beautiful fighters/bombers.

 

Are there any mods which update this? Same for the countryside, I do not think that the russian stepe has this many trees, espially along the roads which makes it look like avenues. It remindes me of the English countryside, or Normandy, but certainly not southern Russia.

nope... the devs have still not enabled the option for mods.... dont know why..

I think the problem is that making the cities too detailed has a bad effect on framerates.  Some servers even get rid of the buildings in small towns because they affect framerates.

 

As for the trees,  I am glad they have them because sometimes the roads are harder to see than they would be in real life and if you see a line of trees you know where the road must be.

Well....., but don't we want it to be realistic?

It is not only the trees along streets and railroad tracks, look at the towns, if you are searching for a town, search for a wood with the trees standing in row and limb. And when you come nearer you can recognize some houses between them. My guess is, half of the trees on the map would be realistic.

Thanks for letting me know, this is a bit disapointing. I'd have excpected more from a game which is selling itself for its realism.

Keep in mind, that Stalingrad was the first big map made for this sim.

 

Back then a lot of optimizations hadn’t been implemented yet and performance was still much of an issue for many players.

But the towns on the Kuban map look just the same, a lot of trees with houses between them, only difference, you don't only have tree rows, but also squares of trees. And the tree rows around the acres look very odd, too. Besides that, it is a fantastic map, but it is very hard to imagine towns and acres really looked that way.
