Happy New Year. ...and coming in 2018..

Now, where have I seen something like this before ????

On Target!!!

LOL! Don't feel bad, the MG position drove me crazy when I first began researching Nieuports. The confusion probably started with the British Nieuports not always being supplied with guns, and sometimes not even engines. With so many British machines using centrally-mounted guns, it was easy to assume the central location was "normal." You probably have the drawing below, showing the offset position.

Factually incorrect. The first French synchronizer to see widespread service was the Alkan-Hamy gear, available just in time for installation in Nieuport 17s in mid-1916. The Alkan-Hamy's cam follower was offset to the right, so the gun had to be mounted slightly to the right. The British used several other synchronizer gear systems, such as Vickers-Challenger or Sopwith-Kauper, so other types WERE installed but the offset Alkan-Hamy was the factory standard for the N17. First shot below shows the Alkan-Hamy gear, but with a British Hyland Type A cocking handle.

Yup, it looks good over your Italian map!

Not really, Mue. They do affect the level of detail and thus the number of objects displayed, but you can't increase the maximum number of objects for a TOD. That value is hardcoded I think. Each TOD has the same limit. In order to add more trees, the only way is to use custom shapes. Instead of using the stock shape of a single tree as offered by the TerrainEditor, one must introduce custom shapes where instead of a tree you have a forest model, whose graphics are determined by a .tga file. However, I don't know how to do this in practice. If I'm not mistaken, Stary is the only modder around here who knows how to create such TODs with custom shapes.

We like the diection of our WTR Jungle - but the best part is the new approach and techniques that not only provides a much more dense and immersive jungle but also maintains awesome performance / FPS (see early screenie).

Thanks - just an old geezer puttering around in his digital garage. VonS and I are working on extensive improvements to a bunch of Nieuports. I noticed you released a mod pack some time ago that added a Lewis gun to already existing Nieuport aircraft. Would you be interested in making a new version of your old pack, using our new models, art, and files?

I played with the files a little bit to bring sequencial numbers and insignias on panzers.

Personally, I love Baffmeister's WW2 fms. I can't really explain it well, but they feel to me like I'm flying aircraft that have manual, not boosted, controls. His Battle of Britain fms make it one of my favorite SF2 mods of all time.

I forgot, I also have T.O. 1-1-4 - Exterior Finishes, Insignia and Markings Applicable to Aircraft and Missiles from 1964 which has the C-97 as it was marked at that time. T.O. 1-1-4 (1964).pdf
