SFP1Ace I was using BLender since day one and then I learned my way Make 3D model (only mesh) and export it via VRLM format to 3DS why VRLM - I had the best result - pivots are where they are modeled in Blender nothing rotates, nothing is stretched (Yes I had that problem with 3DS file or DXF) In 3DS I make all animations and UVW mapping, hierarchy etc. If you find new way I will learn from you because I like Blender and dislike 3DS :-) Monty CZ

Hello all, I modeled all that small pieces to populate the map and made small testing layout of bunkers on czech frontier. each of that small bunker was 450-500m from another one in reality but in game they are so small and not soo visible that I am thinking about not place anything smaller and build only large ones instead. Yes historically it is important part of defense but what do you think from the gameplay point of view? Bunker would be targets for bombers, artillery etc. and if I remember correctly if you find target on recon mission other forces will attack it Monty CZ

This is so GREAT !

might it be "BRST" ? really dont know :-( Monty CZ

Sorry I had to do this: :-) Monty CZ

Hello again what is the best prop engine entry (by your experience) in plane data inis 3rd party or stock I think I have my data all wrong so I want to start from something new and good Monty CZ

Mono27 install W7 not the Vista and wait for SF2NA :-) at least you spend time till release by doing something usable :-) But "hey TK my system is compatible and ready, my paypal acount filled up with money"! Monty CZ

thanx ojcar I will try to change [FlightControl] entries then and I hope it will help me and does anybody know I we can have gun entry in building objects? and I dont want to use groundobjects in terrain types.ini because if I remember correctly line usegroundobject=true cause that object Z-axis orientation depends on terrain and usegroundobject=false means that Z-axis is allways vertical. Yes I need to arm my bunkers and then placed them in the mountains Monty CZ

Wow it is a huge planeset you wrote but I am alone and dont have enough time to make everything :-( So I decided to not make more planes that I have already. Lets say I can always add something... now something that will populate the map: Monty CZ

Maybe it is time to choose what aircrafts are AI only and make changes to FM Speeding up a little bit is not a succesful way I did it and now flying B-35 against Bf-109 looks like from Flyboys movie (or even worse like the mustang from Red tails trailer :-( ) Monty CZ

Hello all, I would ask anybody who is expert or knows ini better than me if there is a way to compensate differences between user on hard FM and AI FM. If I have 2 planes from one era and lets say the first one has top speed 100% (400kmph) and the second has 90% but were more maneovreable the logic says with the 1st one I have to use zoom and boom tactics but with the second I have to try outturn my opponent human flying the first one looses speed advantage because AI FM cheats too much so in game with the 1st plane I am flying 100% speed but slower plane with AI is faster that players top speed. human flying the second plane looses advantage because AI dont know what the stall is :-( it is not a problem with F-4 against Mig-17 because hey there is allways a sparrow but with WWII stuf when I cannot catch bomber which was supposed to be slower than fighter or bomber outturns fighters in dogfight I see a problem :-( can I tell AI what is the top speed or minimal turn diameter with parameters like [FlightControl] or [AIData] thanx for your suggestions Monty CZ

Jonathan there is nothing to betatest unfortunately, but if you are able to help me with campaign I will send you all my files Slartibartfast thanx for input...how realistic might be what if campaign this is the question. I think I dont want sci fi but something what would be realistic enough. So the idea was "I (czech air force) have about 40 Avias B-71 in recon role. Do I need recon if battle would take place on my territory and I can use people to get information abou tenemy? No I dont need recon planes I need attack planes" so how hard is to attach some machineguns into B-71 nose? not too much! and voila B-71 field mod 1 is finished :-) After this weekend I have Heinkel He-111E Bk-534 (not with the cannon but with the 13mm MG 131 machinegun instead) and I experimented with Early warning radar of 1930s - watch tower I think TWs campaign engine is good to emulate/simulate every conflict you can think Monty CZ

Hello today was building time :-) new hangars for czechoslovak side Monty CZ

Question for some historians: I have limited time which I want to spend on planes so looking on my planeset on german side: Bf-109 B,C,D (ready) He-111 B,E (B1 version ready, E version will be ready soon) Ju-87A (Paskos Stuka available here) - I had a mistake here, Ju-86 was not planned Ar-68 ??? is it worth to do? how widely was it used? since I dont have any good blueprints I am thinking about He-51 instead or should I skip biplanes prior to Do-17P list of czechoslovak planes could be changed by some different versions: B-534 IV maybe Bk-534 (with cannon) maybe B-534 III (older version with opened cockpit) Š-328 Š-328N (Nightfighter) B-35 B-71A and I am thinking about "field modification" of B-71 into attack plane by mounting 6 fixed machineguns to the nose - that thing was fast so why not (Bf-110B 455kmph avia B.71 430kmph) The planes not listed above wont be modeled (I think I didnt forgot anything seriously used in 1938) So what do you think? Monty CZ

Hello Steve, glad to hear that your project continues, this is the tool with the most potential I have seen for SF2 titles. Monty CZ

Thanx Stary and can I get your permission to use your great Late WWII cockpit1, which fits good enough for that plane? Monty CZ

It got some teeth :-) Monty CZ

The proces is slow but I think I see the light on the tunels end :-) Monty CZ
