Description
This mod aims to enhance the details of the Piper Arrow III clean interior by upscaling the resolution of the textures (as high as 16K or 8K only to preserve VRAM) and extrapolating more details out of the original textures using different techniques. Some of the textures are from the original plane and some are from Archer374's excellent interior mods.
One version is using 8K textures as well as two 16K textures for the most important blurry parts (where original textures were covering too much of the 3D model for only a 4K texture). Those two concerns the ceiling, windshield pillars, overall velvets parts including front seats.
To preserve VRAM usage, you will also find a set with only 8K textures.
Although I didn't see much of a difference in use in terms of performance and stuttering, The 8K only set is best used for 8GB of VRAM. Those lucky to have 10GB+ will find the 8/16K version putting their VRAM to good use.
Installation:
Copy into your community folder, do not rename the mod folder as it need to be loaded alphabetically after the original plane folder or else the later will replace the textures with its own low-res set.
If you feel like it's too much VRAM used, consider downloading Archer374 original version here:

If you wish to improve this mod or modify it, feel free to do so. Just don't forget to credit me AND Archer374 for his initial work. You must ask for Archer's permission first.

Awesome job, can't wait for the turbo versions :) Thanks for your efforts! No noticeable performance hit on my 2060 Super.

looks amazing! I wish I had the confidence that this wouldn't melt my computer. Someday when I get a better Vcard I'll revisit.

This looks great! Just curious, was the VRAM impact measured?

This is a bit of a tricky one truth be told... I tried measuring discrepancies on a rather lightweight scenario in terms of scenery that would not eat up a lot of VRAM (at Out Skerries).
Results are fluctuating constantly, with the 8/16K version going as high as 1GB more of VRAM, constantly going up and down often almost as low as with the original 4K textures.
My assumption would be a max of 1GB of VRAM used hence why I recommend 8GB and more. Obviously those blessed with 12 and more will be positively sure not to encounter any stuttering issues and it will be a good way to use such great amount of VRAM which are often left behind.

Can you make the cockpit also black for the turbos in hi res? The lightning ist a bit off and dull with the original turbo color. The black of the normal Piper is much more convenient.

I extracted the folder and place the Justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii-Hires-Interior-8-16K- folder in to my community folder, however, I don't see a difference.., have I done something incorrectly ?
