Customizable graphics presets

[Nibbio]

Check out the following mod by Coconut. Originally developed to solve the shimmering clouds issues, it allows to customize the graphics presets just by editing a .cfg text file.

I was able to modify the file so as to have high resolution textures in LOW graphics preset, it's really great!

Any suggestions how to alter things for max performance and eye candy possible?

Experiment - there is no one right answer - since you have a back up if you used jsgme or Ovgme you cant cock it up really either.

Most of the settings are self explanatory or easy to figure out.

Do I understand right that if you use this you cannot go Multiplayer?

 

Coconut stated it requires Mods enabled and as far as I know the current Multiplayer servers do not support that.

The only thing that really bothered me with the LOW graphics preset were the blurry textures, most noticeable on your aircraft, especially on the wings visible from the cockpit.

By setting texmipdown=0 in [preset=0] I was able to get hi-res aircraft textures with LOW graphics. Didn't notice any significant fps loss.

 

Next I'm maybe going to experiment with objects_distance (default setting is =0.5 for LOW, objects_distance=1.0 for BALANCED, HIGH and ULTRA).

Yes, it seems to work only in "mods on" mode. Which is fine for me, I'm enjoying the new SP career.
