Smoking crack?

Is it possible to texture a crashed LOD? So that it looked like half-charred frame, probably with a pilot somewhere there...

I thought about modeling a room or at least a desk with a screen running camera feed, a large map screen and a set of instrument dials for QH-50 mod which I started but I never even finished the chopper's model I really suck at long term projects...

Could be fun if they bring QH-50D back into action...

Service полезен, если один самолет служит одновременно с обеих сторон границы. Актуально только для некоторых конфликтов, например того же Суэцкого кризиса, где сразу несколько типов и на арабов, и на израильтян работают. Да и Хантеры теперь можно как арабские машины в Израиле использовать, а не как английские. Save - это вещь, да. Рэндомные самолеты на стоянках не сохраняет только.

Flying single missions I got used to French Strutter formations spreading across the sky after the first few bursts and letting the rear gunner do all the work. Then our D.IIIs ran into Brits for the first time... These guys are crazy

If there isn't an Effects folder, create it. Under My Documents\ThirdWire\FirstEagles2. It's your default mods folder. Although you can change the location of mods folder if you look near the bottom of the options.ini file there and enter a different path. Some people prefer to keep drive C: as clean as possible

Новый патчик для комбинированной версии/Израиля и для остальных http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm Глюки на берегах исправили. Появилось сохранение сгенерированной миссии в отдельный файл - Save на экране дебрифинга.

Save Mission for later, fix for shorelines and camera shutter... new even more restrictive A-4H variants. Count me in!

IIRC, with high drawing distance settings, if you graphics card allows it, you can see the enemy much further away than the range of "lock on" and AI reaction. The downside is that you'll need to zoom in and scan the sky like a real pilot does. The plus side is that when you spot bandits 10km away you have the time to plan the approach and gain altitude.

I can see fps jumps on the counter even with game paused and without moving the view.

She's a real beauty

Which plane are you flying?

If something is missing from stock campaigns, ask TK :) A quick search shows that Sop 1B2 is French bomber Strutter, while 1A2 is a recon variant.

Странный глюк. Проверь кодировку файла конфига управления. Кажется для старого сима должна быть ANSI.

You'll find more info in this subforum http://forum.combatace.com/forum/101-thirdwire-first-eagles-12/

Simple display of bump mapping. Same shot made in the afternoon and in the morning. Notice shadows on ribs.

Nope.

Individually dropping them in objects folder doesn't work?

I can't remember all the details but the fact that the system was outdated actually helped. Nighthawk was designed with more modern systems in mind and an older radar with greater wavelength was able to burn though the shielding at close range. + NATO mission planning just got careless.

Somebody should write yet another version of "He tried to kill me with a forklift" song about this one.

It depends on both. Sort of. Windows XP supports DX9 max, so to see DX10 features the player has to run Vista or Win7 and have a DX10-capable GPU.

TK said somewhere that under DX10 he can just tell the system he wants to use a particular GPU feature and DX will sort it out. Under DX9 he has write code for each feature both used and not used, depending on whether user's GPU supports it or not.

Вышла First Eagles 2 http://www.thirdwire.com/project_fe2.htm Та же First Eagles Gold (т.е. оригинал с аддоном), минус осенние-зимние текстуры из дополнения (думается ТК до релиза нового ландшафтного движка забил на карты), плюс полуторастоечный Сопвич для ботов, плюс структура модов в стиле SF2. Ну и без багов не обошлось. Хотя похоже исправлен геморрой с кнопкой T, которая с релиза прошлой FE захватывала и дружественные самолеты. Моделлерам/текстурщикам же должно быть интересно, что на самолетах после стольких лет наконец-то появлися бамп-мэппинг. Правда как и все новые шейдеры виден эффект только под DirectX 10.
