YAH BABY!!!! many thanks to all involved!

of course, I had to take Raven's new P-40B/Tomahawk, and slap Baltika's decals on it. have to figure out some other stuff, obviously!! (camo mapping, squadron color stripe on tail, etc) can't have a full 3 squadron 100% historical set of decals going to waste, can we???

lots of progress, but still slow going trying to coordinate modern charts to their ww2 equilivants, and locations of airfields

well, then you're doing it wrong. on my terrains, where they're set up PROPERLY, they as advertised. ------ Rends, sorry for the thread hijack. we now return you to the GermanyCE rebuild channel ---------------

WTF??? Hawk sites have been working for years in SF2. Never had a problem with them, once the 1stGen data inis were updated.

Fix it, or it gets deleted. Them's the rules; FOLLOW THEM

a quite Hawaiian Saturday morning, the day before the storm breaks....

and I'm at just the opposite ... partly completed aircraft, that HAVE pits!! (P-47C*, 6 Beaufighters) *albeit one of Stary's generic pits

wow!! Excellent!! it's Disney, of course the animation is spectacular. and that women has one of the best voices around.

if you don't like the stock, rectangular tents, the af62 (square) and af63 (round) in Polak's Object Library 1 are very good for that. In one of my terrains (Libya??) there should be desert tan skins for them. The tga's may need a little updating, but that's easy!

list of "required" building for every town (just look at my targets inis...) generatorbuilding1 - self explainatory building1 (Ops Building, or some such) building2 (Admin building - can be used as a local govt office) building3 (machine shop) commbuilding* <<---- THIS IS A MUST!! (old timers will know what I mean!! ) citybuilding3 -(repurposed to telephone/telegraph exchange, classed as comm_building) fire department (after all, if the place get bombed ... someone's got to put out the fires!) watertower (see above!!) warehouse (of some type -- gotta store the beer and chips someplace!) optional, depending on size of town, and population, etc. Citybuilding1, repurposed as Government Offices Building small fuel tanks, (I usually place one near the generator) and then of course, the 'hot dog stand'... (useful as an Easter egg, classed as "command building" with a high values (250+). Makes for fun missions! various air defense units (goes without saying!) *aka: evildamncombuilding

look at the pic of the map.. they're behind The Wall

Yeah, SERIOUSLY!! Try and remember that "things that are NOT Real World" go into the "What If" hangar. Same goes for screenshots; there's an entire forum for fantasy/sci-fi/what if

sometimes a global change (viewlist edit) is better, and FAR less time consuming then editing every cockpit ini!!

as was stated above, it can only be done on an aircraft by aircraft basis. you'll need to extract and edit every single cockpit ini for those aircraft you want those views on. this is truly not advisable, as you'll soon discover the lack of interior details, and run into the fuselage and cockpit framing of the external model when looking past your shoulder.

at least 3 that I know of, possibly 4

thanks stick!

and we all know HOW much fun that is!!!

any time! mine also has the 'cheater' tiles -- with the painted edges for perfect alignments!

well, probably true. if the triple cursed thing would stay working (been fortunate the last 2 days) oddly, studying another chart, has "rice fields" clearly printed on it, with a vegetation symbol. so, it looks like a combo of G1/G6/G7/G8 and paddy and of course, to 'fix' certain issues, a NEW SP series of tiles (sea-to-paddy) for the Mekong. jeez ... that damn river is LONG!!! )4200+ km)

for grins and giggles, and just to see if it works, add this line to the _types ini for the moored Zep (that is, if the mast and zep are one piece) TargetType=WINDSOCK and watch what happens

it it just me, or the angle of the shot, that the lower fin is not attached to the tail boom? (we've had lots of Hughes 500s in and out of SMAP over the years) hard to see anything on the skin...

in particular any/all of you that may have served or visited Thailand. Also, in particular, Ubon. What is the landscape like??? Meaning, is it more a grassland, with scattered farms/fields? Are the paddies near the river? So and so forth. My charts only list things as "vegetation", with the occasional "paddy" outlined. This question goes pretty much for the whole central region -- it seems more like 'open range' or veldt type terrain. As the game engine preferences the P series (paddy) tiles -- they all have to be replaced in their thousands!!! (seriously! damn auto tile!!) Sat photos, ala Google Earth are not much help. Considering the things is tits up most of the time... In game references, which tiles are the best to use in that general region? Obviously, the VietnamSEA set, at the GreenHell 3 level (cause I ain't making the extra 30 tiles to GH3.5 level!) G1 G2 G3 G4 G5 G6 G7 G8 I don't mentions the G9, as that's the farm tile with the little village/hamlet thingy. Those can be scattered around when and as necessary thanks In advance!! edit: if any of you vets want to see the chart, pm me

pull the pit1.ini from any of my terrains, or copy paste this into a new notepad 'sheet' [LOD001] Filename=pit1.lod Distance=6000 [shadow] CastShadow=FALSE ShadowCastDist=500 MaxVisibleDistance=2000 and "save as..." into the Desert4 terrain folder as pit1.ini known issue, reported almost 3 years ago to TK by me.

if you want to try it, I'll send you my desert-centric WoE TE. You'll have to replace the tiles in the base folder, as iirc, they're not the stock ones
