How do you get it to look like that? No amount of tweaking gets mine like that.
I hate the stock look of the game.. its horrendously awful!
This is how the game looks, I don't really have any graphic enhancing mods, although I am running around 200 various mods inc islands.
I run the game mostly on the highest settings other than aa and pp, usually with a 3000-4000 ground view distance (can be a bit higher depends on the island/map), and a view distance in the air of 8000-10000.
I have an on the fly view distance mod ‘IVD’ (instant view distance), that I can use quickly, if I need to get really long ground views as shown in some of my pics. I mainly run very long ground views only when I am setting a sniper up or similar. I will turn down the view distance in towns, woods etc to 2000, as there is no need for high vd’s there..
Since the new 1.60 patch and ongoing to the current Beta patch, they have made big improvements in optimisation etc, plus added FXAA & SMAA. I said above that I don’t run aa at full, infact its set to ‘Low’, but looking at the images they look as though its on ‘very high’, that’s due to using the fxaa in my arma 2 game config, just tweak and you get the look of full aa without the performance hit..
I usually set my AToc setting to ‘6’ as this just puts it on the Arma 2 & Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead trees, no AToc on grass.. I do some times put it to ‘3’ but at the mo ‘6’ is good.
I tweak all the time, I’m a bit obsessive as I like to run as near to max as pos..
I do not use pp in game as I hate the blur effect..
Tweaking is the secret.. not ingame, but in your game config and your profile config, well that's how it works for me..
