Hello! though id share a few pics of my latest work in progress: a revamping of the Eritrean map in the download section :) im just starting out with modding..have been making aircraft skins, and started messing round with this maps terrain tiles and .ini's. eventually i want to make my own maps, but slowly working though the mapping tutorials! The source material for the tiles are the Madagascar AE tileset, but i have increased the resolution to 512x512 and completly revamped them..would love to add trees and other objects to the tiles, but currently dont know how! hope you like the pics! Regards

getting there ever slowly :)

hiya guys! Thought id share 2 simple mods i did to create more accurate Iraqi mig-23s for TW games: I played around slightly with the stock textures in the game to get a slightly more worn look, but the important addition is the modification of the decal placements: Iraqi mig-23s followed a USAF insignia style, having the national marking on the upper port wing/lower starboard wing. additionally most of the fin flashes were painted on the ground and appear slanted when the aircraft is flying level in the air. Hope you guys find these useful :) http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag9286e/n/Iraqi_MiG-23MF_rar http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag9287h/n/Iraqi_MiG-23BN_rar Regards

underside colours done..getting very close to completion!

small update: added better tones for the skin :)

hiya! great photos ghostrider! I know the guy who designed this modification...he will appreciate these photos! the insert cartridge pics appear to be from an Argentine mirage 5mara ;) (BTW love your mara mod for WOI!!!) here is a picture of the rear cartridges on the 23bn flare packets are "samp" from israel http://www.imi-israel.com/Product.aspx?Fol...9&docID=434 suicidal, ive never seen the rear lugs used for flare pods - do you have any pics?

retrofitted ASO-2 as on Su-22s Ethiopian mig-21s and 23s have also been modified (underneath tailplane)

hiya only one iraqi mig-23BN has ever been seen with a refuel probe, with the modification supposedly carried out on only a handful (though yet to see pictorial evidence for mass adoption). a far more common modification being the mounting of ASO-2 chaff/flare dispensors. though both modifications were only ever carried out on a small percentage of the total mig-23bn fleet :) however libya also recieved this modification, though not sure in what number regards

3d models are the stock WOI ones

hiya! now ive got the map editor working, the fun has begun! :D started on my own map of the horn of africa: set it at 1300km - think it should be OK for such a vast area?

gah got it...was usign wrong version....freaking n00bs!!! :blush:

hiya thanks for the info wrench i look froward to playing round with this!! maby it is because i am using WOI the editor crashes? even so, if i download, say the Eritrea map, open its HFD, then proceed to open its texture list...it loads to about 90% the editor still crashes!? if i try to use the texture lists than come with the editor, it dossnt load and i jsut get a white screen in tile view :S

thanks for the link and comments guys :) i haven't been able to use the terrain editor so far..as 1 out of 10 times I open a texture list the program crashes!! certainly using the auto tile feature would be a lot less painstaking than by hand!
