This looks amazing. Don't tempt me to buy a decent graphics card :/

Big graphical improvement, even on older PC without maximal settings. Thumbs up for Pfffuscher's work.

Thanks guys, means a lot to me!

Working a little on the usa stuff. Suppy yard didn't work, I'll change it, shitty 3d modell and only a half texture by relic :/ . Sand bags aren't improved enough in those screens, they will get a real 3d look soon.
props to the guy doing the pre work

hate to say this man, but this is not really how i envisioned my map (Duclair) to look like. The wood looks good, but you went over the top with the ground textures, in my oppinion. It just doesn't look natural anymore.

thats not what i am saying, i am just saying that some of your replacements don't fit the original theme anymore. For example, that area you're desplaying should be a sandy working ground, while with your texture replacement it looks like some untouched rock. Who would build a sawmill on a rock?

The texture you made is certainly of high quality, but doesnt fit the scenario. Keep in mind when replacing textures, that they still have to serve the same purpose on the maps they've been used on.

And my second concern is, that your textures are too dominant. Within worldbuilder i have the option to use textures as a basis for my ground painting. Then i add all accents with splats/splines, which are of quite OK quality already in the original engine. The importance of splats is, that you can define accents quite precisely, while textures are unable to be placed precisely and can only be used as "paint".
Now that your texture replacements are so dominant, the precision of the splat accents is gone. What is left is only the big area texture, which is limited to the accents, which you included in your replacement.
You can see this at the road for example, which looks out of place, because the border which i have drawn with a splat is not visible anymore. To some less extend this also counts for the buildings, where the splats i put around it to make it blend into the map are not visible anymore.

Didn't test it on other maps, yet, so i am just speaking of what i see on Duclair.

There's no doubt that your textures are of higher quality, and the work you've put into the mod really shines through, but I'd have to agree with OnkelSam. There's a lot of potential in this; I would suggest you take OnkelSam's criticism constructively, as it was seemingly contrived out of sincerity.

Gotta agree with OnkelSam on this as well. The texture replacements should keep in mind the subtleties of the original terrain textures. As it is, the mod reminds of those BR "high def" mods that make things look gaudy.
