Iran-Iraq war

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

@ Daniel will post some pics later

 

@ Enoc can you send me the iranian BN pls?!

[+Crusader 2,101]

Iranian BN ???

Its a Iraqi jet. And only a few got that modification for long-range strike missions into the Gulf.

 

Iraq's tankers were F1EQ-4, An-12BPS and late in the war two Il-76MD

Sorry my fault wrote it on the way to my company

 

@ Enoc pls send the iranian back into their airspace and give the iraqis a call to send a flight over to me to integrate the probe. russian version works without problems

I am currently fed up with Thirdwire-related terrain works so I don't work on tiles, tired of the engine limitations

Not even Britain?

But still I do understand you buddy...

Brain, Battle of Britain is in the works, but I'm really hating anything terrains-related to the point of getting seizures anytime I open tile in photoshop, I promised to Arthur66 smaller trees for Korea set but launching TE gives me itchy rash.

 

Ok, I might have exagerrated a bit. But when I see what other guys did to IL2 with that enigne... man! I'd gladly hire some programmer to do me custom TODs creation tool together with 3D to TOD format converter so we could have real buildings

Martin, the template is in the works i will send it to you as soon as possible, i´m working as fast as i can :)

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Ok good news I have created now a internal WIP list, we can discuss it later on FB ;)

Some more Iran-Iraq terrain picks.

 

Valleys and snowy peaks

 

Snowy tops. Tweaked the snowtexes.

 

Mashed-ey-Soleyman AB.

I could have something useful ..... somewhere.

 

The stock Mig-23 line up in Iraq dressing for example and the Mirage F-1 divided by serie with all decals done ....

 

I love this scenario and I remember I talked to Kevin about it for adding some bases ...

[+FLOGGER23 3,063]

You in? i´m glad Paulo, i was with the idea to create the MiG-23 templates, but if you have them, they are welcomed now and this will expedite the release of the mod, i´m making the BN ones now.

Dude, if I don't get smaller trees for Korea3, I'll probably live. Don't hurt yourself.

 

I do appreciate the thought, tho.

[morteza1374 37]

Iran has 2 kind of Tankers

First of them is B-707 and the secend is B-747

Both of them can refuel the boom and Drogue

If you want the exact models name I can give you

[+Stary 2,427]

Centurion, looks very good, one advice, try making the mountains, oh the whole set in general

 

-slightly darker and with greater contrast (use curves! standard contrast isn't producing the same shade on different tiles!)

-desaturate the tiles, will look better from higher air

 

also try adding tile-specific heightmaps to displace mountains a little more, check my Israeli or Germany sets for how it's done

How far are you with the temps?

Looked very prommising what you had!

Something that could be very useful! ;-)

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Ok, thank you for the pro tips Stary. Here is what I have come up with so far, so comment please before i start redoing the transitions? The problem is that Google earth gives a very different picture compared to photos of the region. Here are some reference photos of the Zagros mountains, compared with my screenshots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[+JonathanRL 974]

... that is the SF2 engine, right?

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Yup! I'll take that as a compliment

 

More snowy snow:

 

 

 

The second shot shows I think what I am going for..

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

[+Stary 2,427]

yup, the second screenshot (with pair of F-14s) is the better one

 

maybe add small patches of snow below the snow line? I noticed them now. Looks definitely better in my opinion

 

edit:

comparing your tiles with the real thing, new terrain engine my ass...
