Yep answered em all, thanks

Fates, quick question. Are you guys looking for a logo or a header image ...seems to be some confussion....possibly only on my part.

Danstein...give me a few and I will try to make it easier to grasp. I think you may be over engineering the process

The default SF scale, I believe is, right about 60%...could be 67% I believe the EAWeuro map was created through some creative hex editing by Kieth Bedford and FNG2K...but don't quote me. You can get full scale terrain but a problem arises in texture clipping that can be fix with some edits to the flightengine.ini.

The info is contained in the .tod files. These need to be created using the TerrainEditor. I did a tutorial awhile back that you can read to get familiar with the process HERE I've been working on adding the trees back and have about 12 tiles populated now. It's a slow tedious process since placement is one tree at a time.

Yea they are. The pencil tool will place a single tile on the map(whichever is displayed in the drop down window). The rotate tool will rotate any tile clicked by 90deg CW. The eyedropper tool when selected and clicked on a tile in the map will display that tile type in the drop down. The bucket will fill with the tile type shown in the drop down. Be extremely careful with this tool. It can fill areas you had not intended to fill. I find the best way to use this tool is to outline the area I want to fill with the tile type, make sure there are no gaps, then fill inside. Lastly the drop down shows all tiles you have built in your texturelist.

Lex-All hfd files should work fine in the TE since hfd's are created by the TE. For you to actually see terrain, you need a few things. You need the texturelist.ini for that particular terrain. If the terrain was created with default textures from SF you can use the standard list. If you don't have that I can provide you with it. If the terrain has custom types and tiles in it, you will need the creators list. Another thing you will need is all of the tiles in your TE folder to populate the map. They need to be in bmp format. All tgas(sea and shore) tiles need to be in bmp format. You will know if you have the a good list when you launch the editor. You should see a progress bar first as it reads the list before the editor actually opens. If all this goes well then you should be able to select EDIT-Autotile and you will see the terrain. You can then select EDIT-Transitional tiles and the shores and trans tiles will appear. Hope this helps get you started-I'll check in here and see how it goes for you...we need all the terrain guys we can get...

Simply beautiful BB !

Quite a a varied terrain this place is...this is merely a sampling. Should be a fun place to fly. :yes:

If you move an airfield to an area other than what his been layed out...your gonna have terrain poppin through your runways. The only areas of the map level enough to place an airfield are those that are in the XXX_targets.ini These areas have been leveled specifically for airfields with the terrain editor. In order to place a new arifield or move one to a usable spot, you'd have to open the terrain in the terrain area and select "Level airfields" then export the terrain again. Trust me on this one.

Here ya go Moskito STICK FILES

That is pretty sweet BB !

Damn nice shot mississippi ! I was kinda hoping by the title of the post it was something different

Not a screen but some of my old dabblings with Bryce 3D terrains and real a/c images...damn I love Tornado's

Very nice and appropriate mix of sims there BB

I use my antenna knob on my Cougar for trim...works great.

As always BB, your images are pure skill and beauty

FalconCAF-I did not get a PM, my email addy is deuces908<at>adelphia<dot>net

8 images uploaded to the members gallery....more to come. Final shot in this thread.

Couple new ones...non squid

Sure. If you want em in a larger format, I have the originals larger, just email me. Nice shot Spectre, I see my favorite Mitch F4 skin there in the background, USAF and commie stuff is coming next.

Make Strike Fighters art of course. I think I'll make this a weekly thing as a modding diversion.
