TerrainTexturePatch

Basically using Deuky's technique
altering the paletta of the L tiles only
Yet alot milder then Deuky's
it tries to enhance the general look on the terrain.
This all in anticipation of the EKT project.
and SP3 release

this patch is:
Falconversion independant
Multi Play independant
no fps hit
no worries..

the readme says:
-Backup C:\MicroProse\Falcon4\terrdata\korea\texture folder
(meaning copy this dir somewhere safe)

-Extract zip into Falcon4 folder.
if all is correct it will replace fartiles.pal and give you a warning on this
if it does all is ok

Installed the textures as described, but the textures dropped my FPS from 28fps in Cockpit down to 5fps. Lot of lacks during Campaign fly. Nice to look, but.....
No probs after reinstall.

odd
would say impossible..

but then again it happened to you..
so its noted.

the textures are the same size as orig ones
yet read from outside the zip
wich would mean sooner an increase in fps then decrease

you are the first to report this
so my best guess is something else went wrong
it can'te be your system as it is better then mine

please try again and seee what happens
I'm kinda curious to see if you can reproduce this.

Thought about your comment and decided to make a fresh installation of SP2. Tried two flights, one without and one with your texture patch. Allways the same, lowest fps was 19fps over FLOT with a lot of objects. So it was my system, possible due to much patches.
