for FS2004 a Century of Flight

 

 

 

Relief textures: world surface textures

5.- SUMMER

 

This is the second version of the relief textures for the world surface that you can find in the files rlftxts2.zip, rlftxts3.zip, rlftxts4.zip, rlftxts5.zip and rlftxts6.zip

 

Now the 3D aspect and relief of the ground textures has gone an step forward, and the level of detail is higher than in the first version.

 

There are 5 files projected:

 

1.- fall

2.-winter

3.-heavy winter

4.-spring and water

5.-summer

 

 

In the next series of images you can view the differences between three versions of the same  textures.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have reedited and tweaked all the 2700 bitmap files, to obtain an enhanced sensation of depth and 3D effect.

I  believe than I have achieved good results, without any loos in the frame rates. I hope you share my point of view…

 

Here you are a pair of screenshots of the new appearance of FS2004 with these textures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

INSTALLATION:

 

1.- make a backup of the folder ..fs9\scenery\world\texture in a safe place. If you don't want to do such a great backup, you always will have the original discs from MS. These textures are in the file ..\scenery\world.cab of the 4th Disc. You can use WinZip to extract them again if you don't like my files.

2.- Copy all my bmp files to the folder ..fs9\scenery\world\texture overwriting the old ones.

3.- Enjoy the flight.

 

I hope you like what I've done with the great original textures made by the guys of the Development Team of Fs2004.

90% of the credits have to go to them, because without such a remarkable artwork, I'd never could have done this.

 

If you have any comment or suggestion, feel free to E-mail me. Your ideas to improve the results will be very well received.
