It still had some room for improvements so I added more rigging to keep the crows nest more stable and added 3 machine guns on the aft balcony and arrestor wire, hope that's the right terminology. Plz correct me if I'm wrong, :D I still have some room left so maybe I can cram something else in.

How is it from rotating around the ship? Any holes in the model or lines?

Guess who I found not far away from the carrier, this guy really needs help! BTW, the shark is animated and swims hungry around this bloke. Glad there isn't a hole in his dingy or his head!

      Tools to view / edit old P3D files (Jane's USAF)
      By Eagle114th
      Hello everyone!

      I am certain that there are simmers out there in this community that still fly old simulations for sake of nostalgic and enjoyment.  For me, it is the wonderful old Jane's series simulation. There is no another sim that do amazing jobs with it, especially with the ACCESSBILITY. I had to say it many times.  there were time when people asked me "Why didn'tyou fly Flaming Cliff 3 for "low fideity' sim? SF2 is so old? Jane's series sim, it is so ANCIENT sim!"

      Becasue it does not have accessbility that Janes' series sim and SF2 have: Subtitles and target box that help me spotting them, along with arrow for padlocking, due to sensory disability.  Another amazing features of Jane's Fighter Anthology / Jane's IAF / Jane's USAF and another Jane's sim is amazing tutorials and training. it actually feel very involving and immersive experiences for me.  No another sim does that before.  I wish SF1 / SF2 would have that immersive experiences, but again, it was develloped by 1 man so it can't be helped.  Jane's comat simulation was developed by team.

      However, another thing I love about Jane's series sim is excellent "low fideity" envoriment. SF2 is the only sim that came in excellent envoriment after Jane's series sim.  However, SF2 still is lacking of enriched air to ground targetting system / radar / other anvionics that Jane's IAF / USAF / other sim have. (Jane's FA is too basic, I do realize, but it was their firs tsteps toward advacing into more advanced features in next generation simulation in the 1990s.)

      And this might will surprise peope, I am currently working on mods for Jane's Fighter Anthology and Jane's USAF.  for jane's USAF, it is texture overhaul projects.  I am currenlty on a break from SF2 because it requires too much times of researching for accurate data, being just one man project, I do not have that time for now.  If I do have time for it with great resources on my hand, I might will restore the projects (SFCE). 

      However, .I have been looking everywhere to find the right tools to view / open .P3D files for Jane's USAF.  Have anyone successfully opened or view the old 3D models? With that, I wil be able to quickly preview the 3D model with the new super resolution texture (By upscaling them 4x or 8x, work on it, then re-size it to 2x of the orignial resolution).

      Just in case, if any of you wonder why I am modding ancient simulation? It is the same reasons with the people who mods the old classic car and modernize them.  Same thing with old furnitures and technologies.  I am like that with the old simulation.  I want to modernize them as much as possible.with excellent software and technologies we have now.  It is straight from passions and heart.  it is a shinig gems for us who loves old simulation that enriched us with childhood joyful memories.

      I still fly SF2 from time to time, because it is also one of my gems. 

      I wish there are newer simulation that does 'lwo fideity' like Jane's series sim and SF2, with excellent accessiblity features. 

      Thank you,

      Pro City Blocks
      By VonBeerhofen
      People may have noticed the poor looking city models in EAW where it is actually possible to have at least twice and sometimes even three times as many buildings in a city block. With this knowledge I set out to create new 100% city blocks, to make EAW look more populated. Here you can see the difference between an original EAW block in the foreground vs a newly created block with the tower behind it. Notice that the original textures were replaced with the cleaner looking demo versions with replaced red roofs, so old and dirty black and new clean red can be mixed freely as required.

      The plan is to turn these models into flat roofed variants which can be used in my Suez addon as well, with appropiate modifications ofcourse and complementing the buildings I already created for it. A mediterranean set is already in the works too and nearing completion.
      You heard it first on combatace.com!

      Supertrees II and Maxview
      By VonBeerhofen
      A few screen shots of EAWPRO's Supertrees II in action. Supertrees was originally released as a standalone addon at Sandbagger's to replace the 'ugly' forrest models and single trees with tree clumps, providing the game with roughly 4 times as many trees. It's been widely copied into many different addons over the years and most likely you also have a version or variant in your game. Supertrees II uses newly designed tree models which now have 25 trees in a single 3DZ, making it another 100% model using all 255 available polygons. EAWPRO can use two of these in a single object slot. This now again doubles the number as each treeslot contains 50. Here's a few screnshots of how it looks in the Final Cut. Notice the maxed out view depth on the tiles which also causes objects to remain visible from above the clouds!

      More extravagant buildings
      By VonBeerhofen
      The Arabian teahouse. Naaaah, it's just a further development of a much older 3D model with a minor adaptation of the skin in use intended for Eastern theatres like my Suez addon. A less extravagant skin is in the works and the model may change again later, like some additional sunscreens or a tower. Will keep you posted!
