Config Traffic

[Slowhand]

I want to adjust the overall traffic through the config file.
Atm it is quite good with: g_lod_factor_parked "1.6", g_lod_factor_traffic "1.6", g_traffic "2.6"

Can anybody pls explain the 3 parameters to me?
I suppose traffic is for number of cars on the streets and parked for how much cars will park in open spaces. What is lod_factor_traffic ?

Have not tried a traffic mod yet. What is the best traffic mod that will work with ProMods?
Does ProMods already mod the traffic?

g_traffic is not supported. While it will increase the amount of traffic, it will also increase all the random stuff that happens.

EG: you'll see more timed events like trains at crossings, bridges raising etc.

The other two have nothing to do with frequency.

About "g_traffic" already explained with Mohegan. The other two are related to graphics visual only.

The "g_lod_factor_parked" control when to display a parked objects (mostly vehicles) based on distance toward you (active camera). Default value "1.0" is great at most situation. Low-specs PC can play with 0.6 to 0.7 to increase frame rate. Lower than 0.5 causing the parked object looks like "popup from nowhere" when camera approaching.

So do the "g_lod_factor_traffic" that control when to display traffic vehicles based on distance toward you (active camera). With large amount of traffic vehicles at one scene, decreasing this value (e.g. "0.7") can help improves frame rate without having weird traffic vehicle's appearances. This value, however helpless in the situation of huge traffic crowd e.g. at intersection due of traffic light or traffic jam on roundabout.

I would not recommend messing with those variables in the config file. If you want a good traffic mod try
