FS9 Xtreme Evolution: beta testers wanted!

Great! How many FPS did you get back?
Well who would have thought that one file would make so much difference ...
In that case I recommend everyone use the new file - there is hardly any visual difference up close, in fact I believe that it actually looks better form further away - more bushy!

Lots of activity going on in the background, though
I'll make an informational update and upload some tweaks over the the week-end.I am mostly working on doing US and Europe autumn textures right now.

Promised update
While working on the fall textures, I fixed some issues I found with the summer textures. You will find the updated files in the updates_2_3Nov2013 folder in the BETA_2.0_EVO directory of the drop box.
Mostly I improved colouring in desert, grass and swamp textures, improved blending and added some detail while I was at it. I have also collected some previous updates into the zip files. Just drop all files into the directories indicated by the zip file names.
Now for some news: I have finished fall forests and cities, also most of the snowy winter files. The field textures are taking longer because I decided to make new master files with layers for all fields so I can simulate proper vegetation cycles. Lots of fields to do! This will save time however for spring and non-snowy winter. See the screenshot below to see this in action.

Found it ...
I think I identified the texture set causing the green desert bug in some set-ups. I will release a hotfix asap for this, I will need to adapt a few other textures to avoid blending issues but this should not take long. This is the last open issue I have on my list!

Hi all, it's nice to be back here!
For those who missed it - in the meantime, I uploaded the hotfix (and some additional tweaks as usual) to the dropbox, and posted the news over at avsim: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/408107-how-did-this-guy-do-it/page-4#entry2849364 , also pasted below.
I will upload another update over the weekend, while I am beavering away at the seasonal textures.

Thank you .. each update better
Now how I can get rid of those nice towers ... (over England) ?
Drat! When did THEY appear again? Were they gone before the last update? I see that I mistakenly added two autogen files (010h2su1 and -su4) to the last update. Please delete the whole set and tell me if they are gone!
Regards and thank you!
Sascha
Well I'll try to do something about it this evening.The two files removed .. and still there ..
Thank you!
