Description
This mod enhance detail level for users who own graphic hardware that is underestimated by MC and locked to Very Low Settings because of lack of Pixel Shader 3.0.
The mod is available in 2 flavours, choose the one that best matches with your hardware:
Higher: Pushes detail level a bit higher, with custom settings somewhere between Low and Medium for most settings, but disabling shadows, which will make game crash without pixel shader 3.0.
Highest: Pushes detail level beyond the highest available in game. When cars are displayed, they will never look like boxes anymore, but will look like cars instead. Shadows are disabled in this one too.

Supported Versions
- Compatible with all versions of Cities XL.
- Should be compatible with all other mods except ones that replaces the original plazas.

Download
Higher Flavour
Highest Flavour

Installation
Download the file and unzip it into the "Paks" folder of your CitiesXL installation.
If you want to use this mod with a pixel shader 3 card (so, push detail level beyond maximum basically), use the "highest" flavour, and switch your detail level to "High" in game.)

History
1.0.2
- Cars were sometimes appearing as grey boxes, should not be the case anymore.
- You should see more things for more far distances.
- The above applies for both flavours

1.0.1
- By request from the german community (I don't speak german, so Andre transmitted me the request), I did a "pixel shader 3.0" version of the "highest" flavour of the mod, which can be used by people with crazy recent hardware and mainly, make grey box becomes cars and keeping shadows and lights.
I did not tested this flavour (I can't, but if someone wants to give me a crazy recent gfx card as a xmas present, wouldn't say no ), so if there is a problem with it , please contact me.

1.0.0
First release

Notes
Since this mod affects hardware settings, it may cause unexpected issues, especially if your hardware is too old, so if you experience any trouble, try removing this mod before trying anything else.
If your hardware is really too low, it may also lead to unexpected issues.
Just for information, I've got an Ati X800 pro, and both flavours works fine with game, I have a graphic issue (crash when zooming in) but it's not due to the mod, I also have this issue with a fresh installation. and the mod don't seem to improve things for sure, but don't seem to enworse them either.

  I was wondering if you could do another version of the mod where I could play on high settings with no shadows. I like your mod and have been playing with the higher version but the textures seem a little too blurry for me, especially since my computer can run the game on high. It's just I hate those shadows, and I've been playing with the camera mod so at certain angles and during day/night cycle the shadows get messed up.
  Thanks in advance

Ich fragte mich, wenn Sie eine andere Version des mod machen könnten, wo ich auf hohen Einstellungen mit keinen Schatten spielen könnte. Ich mag Ihren mod und hat mit der höheren Version gespielt aber die Gewebe scheinen einem wenig zu verschwommen für mich, besonders da mein Computer das Spiel auf hoch laufen kann. Es ist nur ich hasse die Schatten, und ich habe mit der Kamera mod so an gewissen Winkeln gespielt und während Tags/Nacht fährt Fahrrad, das die Schatten in Verwirrung gebracht werden. Dank in schreitet Vince fort

I don't speak German and just used a regular translator so I hope it's not too hard to understand.
Ich spreche nicht Deutsch und hoffe nur einen regelmäßigen Übersetzer so ich habe benutzt, dass es nicht zu hart ist, zu verstehen.

Moaku is french, so you can speak in english
Now the problem is that Moaku isn't interested in making more mods(and probably not even to better the old ones).

anyway what you are asking is already implemented. Just set details to "high" with the "Highest details" version of the mod, It enhances details level a bit beyond default settings plus removing shadows.
PS: Handy: My lack of interest may not be definitive, but it feels more and more with time that this is not going to happen soon
