Hi anyone tried this? If it works It will be great!
I have not tried it but really interested to know if it works too. And what performance hit it might have.
I really don’t want a SimMarket account (I have enough vendor accounts already)…
Author claims negligible frame hit. I’m about to give it a shot. For just over $8 US and less than 500 MB footprint, it’s not much of a gamble if it’s not great. There’s also a video on the sales page along with copious screenshots, and everything there looks pretty good. If this author is the same Raimondo Taburet from the old FS9 days, then this will be top-notch stuff.
Yea same guy that’s done a lot of DEM upgrades on FS.to and the paid Roads improvements packages for some US regions and UK.
Let us know what you think if you try the coastlines thing
It is the same video on the sales page that I found on YouTube by accident. If the whole coast looks that good its a very good add-on.
Hi just tried it flew from Hartlepool to hull 220 knots 100 ft off the deck! Great mod! Huge improvement in coastlines!!!
First time I’ve ever enjoyed a coastal flight! Only thing I had noticed was a bit of water now and then creeping up but not very often and it disappeared eventually. Not sure if that was down to Asobo as I’ve never wanted to look at the shoreline due to terrible morphing but I’ll take that over cartoon cliffs any day. Hopefully that can get ironed.
I think it’s great just noticed a little water creeping but that may of been an existing issue as never looked at the coastline so much but vastly better! Why couldn’t Asobo sort that in 2 UK world updates
Asobo certainly should improve it but I doubt if they will. Same with the trees which are fairly awful with a silly 50-50 mix of pine and deciduous which looks nothing like the UK countryside. I suspect we will need to rely on mods from developers to give us what we want.
I will have to pick this one up at some stage.
He plans to improve his UK trees mod too when SU10 is released. He says he needs the improved performance to make it work better and he can then restore the urban trees that are missing too.
Shame we don’t have a slider type system for the height and volume of trees.
Hopefully things will improve soon with full release of su10 but glad I picked up coastlines
Just found some more Tarburet stuff for UK so going to try some of these out aswell
Does this stuff (coastlines) need the Sim Market helper app to install it?
@Baracus250 Nope, I jumped for the coastlines mod earlier and downloaded from my Simmarket account into my holding folder, unzipped and dropped it straight into the relevant Add-on Linker folder. Not really sure what the Simmarket app adds tbh.
Have only had time for a quick flight with the mod but the coast from Sennen Cove to Penzance in Cornwall looked a lot better.
No direct download and install as normal in community folder
Same here quick flight but a lot better looking forward to running up the coast now
Taburet… That name rings some bells I believe… Wasn’t that the guy who added pretty nice effects to P3D addons? I think there was an install manager at some time…
Edit: Ah… Google helps… Nightlighting. If I remember correctly it was quite popular and well done.
Not sure personally only used msfs but he’s got loads of those morph fixes out for all over the world which I’m happy about! and anything for the UK I’m going to test out
I did, and I like it! I did see water creeping up the slopes a couple of times, but I think that’s more on Asobo and LOD late loading.
Raimondo Taburet - back in the FS9 days, his mesh files were second to none.
He does some interesting add-ons and lots of them too.
If you have Bijans Season mod, then the UK Trees mod is going to conflict. At least the Swiss Trees mod did.
I buy a lot of Taburets stuff, particularly like the night mods, the tree coastline clearing mods, the road mods, etc. But I just wanted to warn that the tree mods and Bijans Seasons mods don’t mix so you didn’t get disappointed.
Yeah I’ve not put the trees mod in it wasn’t running great for me anyway hopefully gets updated, just put Bijans in. I didn’t find the coastal trees made any difference where I was last night.
I have found adding in coastal morphing fix has re introduced some water creeping, if I remove it the water creeping goes but morphing comes back. So I’m guessing whatever Asobo did to reduce the creeping is either causing or is partly to blame for the awful morphing. Hopefully the creeping can be fixed because it’s great having the nicer looking coastal hills!
I did also try UK roads, waterways, railway trees removal.
Was great seeing some of rail lines properly yesterday without being covered in trees.
UK roads I think needs to work it added to my load time a bit and was causing a bit of extra stuttering, I know I’m running beta so will see how it goes come full su10 release I know the Dev wants to update things at that point as I’d mailed him about UK trees recently.
Waterways needs updating increased load times to over 30 mins from roughly 30 seconds so I’ve removed that and reported it to the Dev, again hope it gets updated its been out since last year so probably needs tweeking.
