I was looking for a mod for this as I found myself instinctively avoiding these grooves running down the runway.  And few mods that were made seemed to be outdated.  As always, I made these for myself and perhaps some others might find them useful.

These textures are from Syria runway textures.  I simply resized and changed repeats to match that of Caucasus.  So credit to Ugra for texture source.

INSTALL:  Extract to main DCS install path or use mod manager.  Would likely cause conflict with other terrain mods that modifies runway textures.  Either merge or install this mod last.

FAQ:
--Is it IC Safe?:  No texture mod is IC safe unless the server turns off "Require Pure Texture"
--Is there performance hit?:  No, textures are same size as default.

Darker cockpit glass with yellow tint removed to improve HUD and HMCS visibility.
Fake cockpit reflections are also removed.
If you want the reflections, you need to revise the description.lua file and delete the lines with "glass_Reflect".

This is packaged into cockpit mod so it is IC safe.

Optimized version also available at the forum link below.

Install:  Extract into your \SavedGames\DCS\  Then choose the cockpit version from Options - Special

**1/4/2021:  Edited description to include instruction on cockpit reflection.
**6/6/2021:  Made HUD glass lighter.

This mod is tree textures with actual tree and branch photographs for Caucasus.  Instead of Speed Tree generated ones.
For ALL seasons.

****UPDATED FOR BOTH STABLE AND OPEN BETA****

Attached here is dark low version only since you can only attach one file here.  For all other versions, download from forum link below.

Install:
Extract into main DCS directory. OvGME or other Mod Manager recommended.

If you have Terrain mod such as CGTC, Barthek's, Mustang's, Starway's.... there will be conflict. Just install this mod last and overwrite. This mod will only replace trees and substrate.

--Posting updated for version update

Cleans most of the grime on the canopy, reduces light distortions, and adds subtle fade in-out interior reflections. Fills sealant gaps along the back of canopy glass and reduces sealant around mirror.

Reduces the pixelated effect and reduces intensity of reflections.

Passes integrity check

Have Fun!

This is another one I've been using which I haven't shared yet.  Some may find it useful.

By default, on screen text is too large for me in VR.  Often times I have to turn my head to read each line and overlays on my cockpit if the message is long.  This mod reduces the font.  Also  makes comm menu to be smaller.

They look too small in the comparison images but they look right in VR.

FORUM:
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/323437-reduced-message-text-in-vr/


ADJUSTMENTS:
Onscreen message font sizes are adjusted by line 148, 255, 340, 462 of gameMessages.dlg.  Default font size is 20.
Comm menu fonts are adjusted by line 49 of CommandMenu.lua


NOTES:
Passes IC
Even with this mod installed, it doesn't change the font size in 2D.  This only affects VR.


INSTALL:
Files go into main DCS install path.  Mod Manager recommended.

10-22-2023:  Updated for DCS 2.9

This is based off of Kegety's mod.  I made sharper NVG version for his mod a while back and this adds vertical position, size, and noise amount adjustment.

FORUM:
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/323009-nvg-mod-for-dcs-28/#comment-5188764

ADJUSTMENTS:
All 4 values (Blur amount, Position, Size, and Noise amount) are fully adjustable.  Just search for "Taz" in the two files.

NOTES:
Does not pass IC as of DCS 2.8.5 on 5/18/23
Works in 2D and VR

INSTALL:
Recommend using Mod Manager or extract to DCS main install directory.

UPDATED 3/22/23

Makes canopy glass clear.  Should apply to all modules but only tested on A10C-II, Hornet, A4E-C, Black Shark 3, and Viper.

ADJUSTMENTS:
Last value of line 101 adjusts opacity.  Default is 1 and 0 will be completely clear.  Mod is preset to 0.2.
Shadow on the glass is removed by default for better frame rate.  If you want to restore the shadow, remove the comments (//) at beginning of line 88 and 89.

NOTES:
This mod may also affect MFD and HUD glass if the module uses same material.
Does not pass IC as of DCS 2.8.5 on 5/18/23

FORUM:  https://forum.dcs.world/topic/317405-clear-canopy-glass/

INSTALL:  Extract to DCS Main install path or use Mod manager.

Update 1-14-23
1.  ED changed the blending mode so the waypoints got darker too.  Fixed.

The default map overlay was useless to me because of its format.

1.  Made waypoint marker and names smaller.
2.  Centered the waypoint numbers in the circles.
3.  Darkened the background map.

Adjustments

1.  Waypoint color can be changed by line 6 in definitions.lua.
2.  Darkness of background map can be adjusted by line 78 in map_page.lua
