  1. Really? How come I didn't notice this earlier? It's been a while since I last played a campaign. Seems a bug to me, maybe introduced with the latest patches.

  2. Bright star pictures

    Menrva replied to jeanba's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Cool photos! Link does not work on my end, it returns the dreaded 404 error. Anyone can confirm?
  3. Another article at BBC, in English of course: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40578106
  4. Me neither, I have no access to the modders' repository. Which are the requisites? Anyway, I don't think Baltika's WIP is there. We would need his explicit consent to proceed upon his work, too.
  5. Great skins! Thanks for sharing, 1977Frenchie! I was wondering, when was the low-viz scheme introduced exactly? I was looking for info, the best I found was that the change between hi-viz and low-viz happened during the 80s.
  6. Being Italian, I would like to help on any WIPs of the Balkan theater. In the past, some tried to recreate such terrain, but were limited by the tools available at the time (working on heightmaps was a nightmare). Today, we have more powerful tools, new techniques (Stary's discovery of 250m heightmaps comes to my mind) and so on. The most advanced WIP I recall is Baltika's. I am wondering if there are others as well.

  7. Win10 Creator Update mucked up my desktop

    Menrva replied to Mike Dora's topic in The Pub

    Very sorry to hear this. I upgraded to the latest build voluntarily and I didn't have any major issues (except one which broke mostly all Adobe Photoshop products, and neither companies are willing to solve the matter). It's very strange that you cannot go back to the previous build. Usually, after such big updates, there is always a Windows.old folder which contains everything needed for a full restore to the previous build. I really don't know what might have happened.

  10. Yep, they are using the Unreal Engine 4, it was about time they decided to make a PC release too. For all of you who are interested, here are two gameplay demos, the first with commentary from the AC director himself, Kazutoki Kono. For the second video, keep in mind that the dubbing is still a work in progress, I think; there are some translation mistakes (noticeable also in the E3 trailer).

  12. Alaska, Bering Strait (1955-2018)

    Menrva commented on Menrva's file in Full Terrains

    Thanks Stary! It's also thanks to your discovery that it looks so pretty. The terrain uses a fresh new heightmap created with DEM files, so altitudes are pretty accurate to the Real World. The same can be said for the Iraq/Iran terrain I made, it was my first attempt, the one I am most proud of.

    Ditto that. Wish you and your family the best, 76.IAP-Blackbird.

    Menrva replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

    Exactly. It took me three years to develop the Iran/Iraq terrain. I am grateful to all of those who waited for it. I put so much effort into it, and I am a little afraid some people don't even notice it. Other incredible, great modders around here have provided the community with outstanding stuff, all for free. They say, to share is to care. Also, let's not forget, patience is a virtue.

    Menrva replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Me too, I like reading aviation related news. Man, I can't believe it. Who needs Ace Combat's fictional aircraft fortresses? We are getting closer to such fiction.
  16. Wow, nice! Thank you, gerwin, I really like your work. Your 3D models (including airbases) and TFDtool are masterpieces.
  17. Good to see you're back, viper63a! Thanks for sharing this nice package!
  18. Nice addition indeed! Maybe one day we will see an updated ODS campaign package with my accurate terrain remake. I keep on dreaming.

  19. Learn your callsign

    Menrva replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    "Ripping Falcon" here, reporting for duty! I prefer owls over falcons, though, LOL!
  20. I am working on a surprise terrain remake, which I am planning to release shorty. I still need to finetune things here and there. I added Off Map Airbases (pretty much like in the IcelandNA stock terrain). However, I have no idea how to determine with accuracy the values for coordinates. In the stock IcelandNA terrain. I noticed that various negative coordinates have neen used. How to determine those? gerwin's mighty TFDtool shows positive coordinates in detail, but if I place the cursor outside the terrain limits (in the surrounding black area, so to speak), it simply shows the values -1,-1. Any clues or ideas? It would speed up development and terrain's release. All help is much appreciated!
  21. It once happened to me a long of time ago, but I don't remember exactly how I fixed it. Check if you have a custom AIRCRAFTOBJECT.ini inside the Objects folder, and remove it. As far as I remember, once I messed around with some custom .ini files from Stary, and I got that bug.
  22. I released a standalone, updated terrain (which hopefully will receive another update later this month): http://combatace.com/files/file/16395-iraq-western-asia-1980-2003/ The campaign files must be edited so that the new terrain can be used.

  23. The Great Standoff

    Menrva replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    Yes, that's the one, thanks mate!

  24. The Great Standoff

    Menrva replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    Damn, now I remember. The version I was telling about was actually a video from YouTube. I might be able to find it again. Thanks, Skyviper!

  25. The Great Standoff

    Menrva replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    Yeah, an old one. IIRC, the version I read had the Spanish in place of the Canadians. Still funny though.
