Small progress. Real life issues.

I reworked the airfield file. I hope you like it.

Then i changed the color of the "road" objects, which i use to build the target areas. They now fit better with the roads, that are painted on the tiles.

 

A great improvement !

I did some work on the panzer pack for the Ukraine terrain. I adjusted the armor to more or less correct values, included the lower hull with reduced armor thickness and added the tactical numbers and the white cross. For the T-64B i did dome photoshop to change the wheels from massive T-74 to small T-64.

Here the ukrainian T-72M1 and the T-64B

I took the stock Leopard1A4 tank and gave it a new skin.

Its hard to believe, that a little bit paint can change the apperance of a very simple LOD so much.

And this is the old Leopard 1A5 LOD made by Gabilon in 2005 with a new skin for the Ukraine terrain:

Holy cow!!!!!!

Russian T-72BV, repaint of the stock T-72A

Its not perfect. The curvy shape of the turret makes it difficult to paint the ERA tiles properly.

Its a pity that it is not possible to remove the smoke grenade launchers and the V-shape on the hull front.

Back to Argentina.

SitRep: Parkingpositions of planes at Mar del Plata Airbase are now correct.

[+Gepard 11,158]

First step to make a new tile for the Port and the Naval Base of Mar del Plata.

Oh, I LIKE those breakwaters!!!!

[+Gepard 11,158]

At the request of one of our argentinian friends: Isla Martin Garcia Airport. First development stage. New tile is made by Satpicture. Still missing the TOD trees and buildings.

The brown water is direct from sat photo, but it looks like a desert. I must change it.

Its a very small airfield with a very short runway. After first testing i had to make the runway longer than on the tile. Its reaches now till to the small river in the north of the island.

Its still a lot to do.

 

[+Gepard 11,158]

SitRep: Isla Martin Garcia and the small airport there are finished.

Next step will be to finish the port and the Naval Base of Mar del Plata.

 

[+Gepard 11,158]

Port and naval base of Mar del Plata.

Some warehouses, some other buildings, 3 cargo ships, e destroyers, some patrolboats and some Flak.

Looks really good! Excellent work!

[+Gepard 11,158]

New version is uploaded. Contains now a green and a brown tileset for seasoned terrain, three new argentinian airbases and the port of Mar del Plata. Hope you enjoy it.

Ideas for further improvements:

Placing more argentinian towns at the map

Adding some industrial areas, ports and naval bases for Argentina

Making Urugay to friendly nation and bring one more urugayan airbase on the map.

Outstanding work keep it up.

After looking on my terrain and then on Google Earth i realized, that i placed Montevideo at the wrong position. So i had to move it.

Near to horizon you see the city tile at the old position. In reality there is a town called Ciudad del Plata or so. Montevideo is around the bay, which is a natural harbour.

Same position, but view to the south, the suburbs of Montevideo along the coastline and the Montevideo International Airport

Short view of this airport.

First steps, there is still a lot to do.

I decided to rebuild Montevideo Airport from scratch. The first step is done. The two main runways and some taxiways are layed out. At the moment the airport consist of 41 single objects. Its like a big puzzle. So it looks today:

Tomorrow more.

[+Gepard 11,158]

Next development step Montevideo Airport:

It has grown up a little bit.

[+Gepard 11,158]

I took Gabilons low poly Flakpanzer Gepard LOD and gave it a new skin.

Its astonishing how a good skin can change the look of a LOD with only 86 kB size.

 

[+EricJ 4,199]

Looks better Gepard for sure...

That just reinforces the old adage ...

"A good coat of paint can hide a multitude of sins"

Its better then the proverb:

Montevideo next step:

Gabilons low poly Tunguska with a new skin.

I must adjust the skin for the tracks and i think the antenna looks different in reality.

 

[+EricJ 4,199]

I use a one I made off of a 3D model that I bought, but that looks good Gepard, much better than what it used to be.

Tunguska Flak

Russia:

Ukraine

Unfortunatly it does not work to put decals on Flak. So i had to paint the + and V directly on the skin.
