  1. Italian Front (WIP)

    Wrench replied to gterl's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    yes, indeed. I feel you pain. There is MUCH to be desired with the 3W terrain engine, and the tiling system. you can always edit the height field via the ***.bmp, (export height field as bmp, then paint the desired region to a lower altitude color --which is a HUGE trial and error work-maker), import height field from bmp, reflatten ALL the airfields, and test in game. Repeat until desired result is obtained. LOTS of times... Doing this now with the fjords in Norway for a ww2 map
  2. or a laser battery??? yes, indeed! The Fulcrums will be looking GOOD here!

  4. Back For A Bit

    Wrench replied to Piecemeal's topic in The Pub

    echoing all the others sentiments!! Congrats! And Best of Luck on the New Life!!
  6. Val, just post them in the CA Gallery, and use the 'link back' feature when posting in threads. Works a charm!
  7. Indeed, might help if we have a list. And exactly where they come from
  8. Very Nice! will come in QUITE handy to replace some WW2 airfields, too! thanks!
  9. well, the good news about that is, ArmorDave included the OUT files for the 2 Fs and the G
  10. all of Veltro's stuff was deleted a couple of years ago. Some have been re-upped for SF2 usage. since the Bison is/was a beta, it's highly unlikely ANYTHING remains of it, as ALL the original MAX files were also deleted by their author.
  11. always wanted to have something this far north. (and needed too! not just for WW2 maybe?) Something for our Scottish members! (and to give the Banff Wing something to do, as we've several skin sets for Beaus and Mossies...) no date, expect a LONG lead time ... as, of course, the frakking TE auto tiles with fukloads of road tiles where farms and forests should be, the entire coastlines are done in the R series, and the whole triple cursed thing will have to be hand tiled for it's entire acerage (square kilometerage??) To say nothing of cities and rivers and the like. also, can you imagine the fjords??? (Slarti, where ARE you? This is YOUR specality!! LOL) Or placing the airfields in Norway?? oh boy ... what did I just do to myself???
  12. [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT SetCockpitPosition=TRUE Position=0.0,6.36,0.74 SeatModelName=seat_f-4 SeatPosition=0.00,6.36,0.31 MinExtentPosition=-0.25, 5.91,-0.20 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25, 6.99, 0.92 CanopyNodeName=canopy_front_outer CanopyAnimationID=3 HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=Admantium Armor .Thickness=25 Armor .Thickness=25 Armor[REAR].Thickness=25 Armor[bOTTOM].Thickness=25 (one could substitute that for Vibranium)
  13. already crossed my mind -- as I had to watch the movie 2 days ago to try and figure out the location of the fjord (thank YOU DVD pause and zoom on the briefing sequence!!) As we already have their Mossies.... according to the map seen in the briefing, Sutton Craddock looks to be between Middleton St. George and Leeming. wish I had the last 4 books in the series; only have the 1st 4
  14. did you try nose_cone fuselage_front ?? searching the "archived pre-lock lod", that's all I could find ps: happy (belated) birthday!!
  15. Well, work is proceeding apace (taking a break from Veltro's Liberator -which I'm having problems with!) needs some help with the Danish airfields though. I've been able to locate some of them, but am having problems with others. Please forgive my spelling... Knivholdt (looks like near Frederikshaven?) Aalborg (done) Thisted See (done) Rum Grove Vandel (done) Esbjerg (done) Handersleben Tirstrup Vaerlose (done) Aune most of these seem to be on the Jutland peninsula It also appears there's PLENTY of room for stuff in northern Germany/Netherlands like Leeuwards, Cuxhaven, Kiel, etc (although I DON'T relish having to rebuild those ports again, to say nothing of the Kiel Canal...) so, so guidance please! thanks!
  16. TE's not hard to set up at all. Use the WoE terrain editor, even for 'desert' tiles -- of the two (and both suck) it's the better one. Having the texture list ini is the important thing -- which may need to be (re)built by hand. Time consuming, but fairly easily done. Just follow the tile sequence from the terrains original _data.ini I could send you my WoE-Based FE Terrain Editor, if you want Quack. Right now, it's got the old Gibralter terrain/tiles in it, so you may have make some "adjustments" (like, creating a separate one for Jan Tuma's tile --which is HIGHLY recommended!!) TOD creation takes some practice, and I've never learned the ins-and-outs of importing new 3d objects for buildings and such.
  17. None of the original (Zur) Sabres have animated canopies. The nodes were never cut, as that wasn't a "thing" back in 2003 (?) when they were released
  18. screenshot??? It's kinda required
  19. as I said, delete it on ANY land tiles that means **farm, **desert, **mountain, ** city ... etc anything that doesn't have Sea2*** and those, reduce the Height = to 2.00 EDIT: in fact, instead of screwing around with it anymore, why not just download the fixed and targets expanded version?? http://combatace.com/files/file/7430-isreal2-ver-25-by-gepard/ don't even bother with the Suez map. Isreal2 covers it all, and is 100% scale. Suez in NOT - it's 63% scale
  20. I'd posted that fix right after the Mustangs and Spitfire first came out. They're ALL fighters
  21. it's a HeightField issue, either in the data ini itself or the HFD do the desert tiles (or, to be exact ANY land tiles -NOT sea/land transitions) have an associated _hm.bmp? If so, what is the height sepecified? As so: [Texture015] Filename=desert1.BMP HasWater=0 HeightMap=desert1_hm.BMP HeightMapScale=20.000000 Color=0.858675,0.710850,0.489428 SolidObjectTexture= AlphaObjectTexture= if so, you'll have to either delete those to line or comment them out Thusly: [Texture015] Filename=desert1.BMP HasWater=0 //HeightMap=desert1_hm.BMP //HeightMapScale=20.000000 Color=0.858675,0.710850,0.489428 SolidObjectTexture= AlphaObjectTexture= the rebuilt versions I did, have this already done cause it simply don't work right (as you see)

  22. SAAB has caught up with the sins of TSF...
