here's a last minute feature we might include as well (don’t hold me to it just yet)

 

find the difference :wink:

 

Before

 

After

 

Same position with the new “Rustic “ feature turned on

Light throw from headlights

here's a live shoot

Man that looks good, but that amount of traffic? What's the impact on being able to maintain decent framerates in the air please Chris?

 

Also, just my opinion, but could the light throw be made a bit more diffuse?  I don't think light throw stops quite that abruptly for real?

Maybe its not possible, maybe that's just my opinion Looks great anyway, all credit to you and the team for coming up with this stuff, v2 is going to be awesome!

 

Cheers K

Thanks Kevin

performance is actually much better then with the default car library

i am able to GAIN performance with 100% traffic + light beams

compared to 35% traffic density with the default cars lib,

spikes are a thing of the past with the new library!

 

the lights are defused; remember you are not viewing the traffic from ground level

the idea is to fill the highways where we turn lights off with rustic feature

the new beams make the roads traceable without the presence of street lighting

this is actually mimicked from real life visuals

 

 

beautiful

when can I have it then please? K

Good question....

 

Du pain,du fromage et l'environment de nuit. ..

Hi Gerard

it has been submitted to AS when i announced it;

the scenery was completed few weeks ago; but the manager still needed some more work

 

I’m afraid the current ongoing Sim show has kept AS staff time table pretty full

I’d expect something to be announced this following week in regards to NEFR

 

"Du pain,du fromage et l'environment de nuit. .. "

First quick impressions: (sorry no screenies yet)

 

Looks great, especially the way you've managed to do the more rural parts without lights in places. [i'm still getting the ground splash looking hugely not diffuse enough, but its not the same as in your screenshots so I need to play with my system as its probably something my end?]

 

The traffic looks awesome, I was wondering why I didn't have any until I realised I had the slider set far too low, so I whacked it up further than anything I've used before (because of performance hits) and hey presto lots of cars, and virtually no impact on FPS as far as I could determine! Nice one guys! The traffic does add a LOT at night..

 

On a photoscenery base its bloody good...When I had it with default it looked awful because the default night autogen textures are too bright, so it was difficult to distinguish between a NE light and a default autogen building at distance.

 

All in all it looks very believable on a photoreal base, especially with road traffic on - well done! IMO very worth it for the entire country, lets get those updates for existing areas out now please chaps!
