+Gepard Posted September 19 Posted September 19 You were right. GroundObjectTexture=green did the job. The truck is green now. Thx. 3
+Gepard Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Kep Airfield reworked I still have to place 3 SAM sites close to this base. This has to be done tomorrow. 6
+Wrench Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I really like the rivers! Had several family members, and older brothers of friends that served there. They always commented on how brown the water was. 1
+Gepard Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Kep Airfield and the 3 SAM sites around the base. The first SAM site appears in 1967, the second 1968 and the third 1969. 4
+Gepard Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Noi Bai Airfield. After the war reworked and enlarged with a second runway and terminals south of the old military base. Today known as Hanoi International. 3
+Gepard Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Cam Thuy Airfield renamed in Tho Xuan Airfield and completly reworked: 3
+Gepard Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Hue Airfield renamed to Phu Bai Combat Base near Hue and reworked (WIP) An Army and Marine Corps base south of Hue. It was attacked by North Vietnamese ground forces during the Battle of Hue in 1967. 4
+Gepard Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Phu Bai Combat Base in the time before 1969. The long taxiway is not build yet. Since it is an Army Base it would be nice to have static AH-1 Cobras and UH-1 Huey on this base 4
+Wrench Posted October 4 Posted October 4 got both the huey and cobra statics!! You should already have the huey on the 2 airfields I sent you. Also have a Wessex "standing in" for the H-34 Chocktaw. Pluse the EC-121, HH-3 and some others 3

+Gepard Posted October 5 Posted October 5 I changed the skin of the static Huey from bmp to jpg, to increase the in game performance. For instance, the body skin had originaly 768kB size, and now only 52kB 4
+Wrench Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Great Idea!! That never occurred to me! I never had any issues, but I've got a pretty good machine. I'll get the Cobra to you in the next couple of days. Making sure the PMs are working!! I forgot to mention the CH-47 by Sucidial. The only thing about that one, is it has some cargo boxes sitting around 2
+allenjb42 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 I can’t remember if in an earlier post you said that you didn’t want to use them, but as YAP-RW is now available to all now, I think there are static fixed wing aircraft and helicopters amongst the things that would fit well in the terrain.

For instance, the body skin had originaly 768kB size, and now only 52kB just double check everything. when i did the same for the YAP-RW team, i found that several models had one or two panels that blanked out if you swapped to jpg. the F-100F is one example; the fuse has to be bmp but wings and tail are converted to jpg more frustrating was that it wasnt all but just one per...
+Wrench Posted October 9 Posted October 9 what I would do with terrain object aircraft with painted on squadron markings and serials, is touch up the paint job and remove them. That way, it give a more 'generic' look. (this is what I did on the parked birds on the Iberian Penninsula map) 1

What about hex editing the LODs to change to jpg? It's a simple 'find and replace' function. Done it many times. The issue as described (F-100F), however, points me to a defect in compiling the LOD. Since TK went to jpg textures on SF2, the game engine (tm) don't care which of the 2 formats are used. Hell, even that little flirtation we had with DDS worked because the damage textures are in that format.

Done it many times. one trick in the bag i never quite got the hang of besides, took long enough doing a simple bmp to jpg swap across several hundred skins. for a project i wasnt 100% on board for topic. but i did want to see another community thrive so i helped what i could back to here: listen to the two Kevins . check and change if needed 1
+Gepard Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Takhli AFB reworked. Deleted some new buildings and added more old ones and the entire bunker area. 6
+Gepard Posted October 20 Posted October 20 I'm near to finishing DRV 2.1 terrain. The only thing i still have to do is to rework Da Nang AFB again. Give me two weeks. 2 2 2
