This mod compilation is very impressive and I am enjoying this far more than Clear Sky which I just recently quit playing again (third time) because the early game weapons are so ridiculously inaccurate. I got one of the first Nato assault rifles with combat scope and put about 10 to 15 rounds at medium range into someone’s head and each shot missed.
Back to shadow of Chernobyl. The graphic pack is really impressive and balanced in that my framerate hardly fluctuates. The improved dramatic sunsets and rises more than compensate for lack of god rays (optional but buggy). The weapon textures are a big improvement over the stock ones. I think I may have missed out some of the end game when I played the original as I rushed the ending. I got the stupid you have too much money ending.
I am not sure what other gameplay elements have been changed other slightly more accurate weapons, but I am finding this so much easier on medium difficulty than I am finding Clear Sky on easy.
I love the feel and pace of the STALKER games so should I persevere with Clear Sky past the Garbage level – will I get better weapons soon as I am reaching keyboard smashing time.

What card you using nVidia or Ati. I have forced x4 in the Ati Control panel and though not the best AA I have seen it's working.

I'd continue, clear skys weapons get more like SoCs the further you go on. Its still not as good as SoC but worth sticking at.
It took me two goes to finish it. I finally installed the faction commander 2.0 mod which solved the problem of the faction wars not working (reeaaaallly annoying)
I thought I had it set to x8 in control panel, but it doesn't seem to be showing that much.
There is a slider in-game but I don't know if that actually does anything.
Turns out that its been so long since I've played SoC that I couldn't compare the modded graphics with the original. I remember them being decent anyway so, for me, the benefits are in the reduction of bugs and improving the smooth gameplay. Mind you, haven't yet managed to shoot out light bulbs.
I am going to check and compare it tonight as I have only played with AA enabled in the control panel.
The only other thing that I am not sure if it is working is the so called wet look.
I so close to finishing Stalker now, I'm in the sarcophagus, brilliant game, would be nice to have AA though.
That boy's got some skills, he's able to play the harmonica through a full face mask!
I just love the look of this shot, I know it's basic but I think it looks brill.
The iconic ferris wheel shame it was raining at the time

I love the new repacement sounds for weapons which are far more realistic and louder. I have turned up the volume and I love the fact that I am flinching every time I fire off a shot. I will probably go deaf but it's worth it. They have also added more sounds as rounds fly past you.
I played an hour of Clear Sky last night and combat is not nearly as good due to puny sounding weapons. The SHOC ballistics along with the gameplay is so much better than Clear Sky.
I am enjoying STALKER far more with the mod than when I first played it which may have something to due to less bugs and a decent PC.

There is a graphics pack mod which I am not sure supports the latest patches, but I am wary to try as it may lower performance slightly. I am using the Clear Sky Enhanced 2 mod pack which does not really change the look of the game that much apart from darker nights. I am going to see if there is a ballistics and faction respawn mod that is compatible.
The stock ballistics in Clear Sky in my opinion is horrendous. Shotguns are more accurate at 80 meters than scoped assault rifles against armoured targets - it just does not make sense. The respawning is also poorly implemented in that you can happily be running along only to have 5 enemies respawn 10 meters away from you. Also by the time it takes to loot 2 corpses they have respawned again.
As I have said before I have uninstalled it about 3 times in disgust. I still have not managed to get past garbage and I recon I am going to have to start again with some different mods that change ballistics, respawn rates and the faction war which should be removed from the game as it is so badly implemented. Clear Sky is crying out for an Oblivion Lost type mod.
