Wrench: thanks for your gracious offer to assist, but LloydNB just contacted me with a "fix." He uses an app that avoids the TGA problem, and will send it to me soon.

Now that the Gladiators are out the door, I've circled back to the CR42. Baffmeister has spent an enormous amount of time developing FMs for the CR42 and Gladiator, both as separate aircraft and together as a kind of "dogfight duo." The goal was to simulate the historical record as closely as possible. Recent research has revealed Gladiators shot down slightly more CR42s than CR42s shot down Gladiators. The slight difference is attributed to better RAF gunnery training and use of radio to coordinate mid-air tactics. Using Baff's latest files, I'm working on an upgrade to the 1940 version of the CR42 plus finishing the bombe alari (bomb wings) versions used later in WW2, but are outside the scope of my 1940 desert war project. 1943-45 night intruder shown below. Cockpit shots of the night intruder in its element.

Two final shots show how playing with game world lighting can improve immersion. The B&W version almost looks like a WW2 photo. Not quite, but close. Tips on how to make gameworld lighting more realistic can be found below: http://combatace.com/files/file/15939-improved-gameworld-appearance/

Both would be good - TGS for FE2 and DDS for SF2. Thanks

You're welcome. Warm up your white scarf, and fly in the glory days of the biplane!

I still can't get CS2 to make masks, and I'm sick and tired of looking at Gladiators.

View File Gladiator MK1 This all new model with hi-res textures is the first of three new Gladiators for FE/FE2. Dedicated SF2 versions will be released shortly. A lot of guys helped me develop these models, particularly Baffmeister (new FMs), LloydNB (Sea Gladiator skins), and Stephen1918 (file bashing). Software problems prevented me from including battle damage TGA files, so the raw artwork will be posted separately as "Holes" so you can make your own TGAs. Enjoy. THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART, OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT.

View File Gladiator "Holes" This DL contains three multi-layer .pdfs of Gladiator battle damage. Those of you who know your way around a paint program cam make your own TGA damage files for the three Gladiators. I have software problems that prevent me from making TGAs, and - after a year's worth of effort - I am tired of looking at Gladiator files!
