  1. When it is finished. Sorry for the short answer, but RL studies obliged me to stop working at it, however only Iran is left to do, Iraq is complete with all rivers, it just needs some eye candy such as more precise targets and bases. I'll re-post my previous questions since someone might have missed them; Do we have a 3d dam model? It is needed for targets such as the Mosul Dam and a few others. Does anyone have a reference map which contains all the main roads that I may need to add to the terrain? I re-made the whole set of road tiles, it would be a pity not to use them.

  2. Climate Conference - Age of Idiocracy ?

    Menrva replied to Snailman's topic in The Pub

    Well, of course they are trying to do something, but it's not going to be enough. The problem will be entirely on the shoulders of the future generations, mine included, so I almost wish to die young, cause I don't think the world will be a nice place when I'll be 60yr old. But Capitaine Vengeur has given us a list of many other problems which could bring humanity to an end sooner or later. Seriously, we've given too much power to Internet, now everything is done with Internet, what if Internet "disappears" someday? The economy goes down with it, as well our lives. Not to mention nuclear weapons, deterrent for direct war between superpowers, but only the heavens know for how long...
  3. What kind of video card do you have? nVidia or ATI? Such issues are known to happen with most of the latest nVidia drivers, however paulopanz showed some screenshots with the latest drivers released days ago (v359), and it seems that they fixed these kind of issues. Alternatively, revert your driver's version to 353, since it's the last known version which works flawlessly.

  4. Ace Combat 7 announced!

    Menrva replied to tonipm99's topic in General Flight Sim Discussion

    Thanks for posting, Ace Combat is my favourite game series. Just days ago I was looking for any info about AC7, looks like I had to wait a little longer. Assault Horizon was a bad spin-off, this one will be more like Ace Combat Infinity, that means classic AC dogfighting and no more on rails sections. I hope it will make it to PC too, but it's unlikely to happen I guess. So, Osea vs. Erusea? Cool but rather strange. It seems Mobius One couldn't stop the Eruseans for good! EDIT: I've just seen the trailer. If you listen closely at beginning you can hear a remixed version of the track "15 Years Ago" of Ace Combat 5.

  5. Prepare to pucker up your ummm, you'll find out

    Menrva replied to Fubar512's topic in The Pub

    I agree, if he was steering with a parachute I could have believed it, but being that precise in free-fall seems a little too much for me.
  6. Really? If it works for real, this is a very important find, I'm guessing this applies to every other .bmp related to radar functions.
  7. Holy... It's a big package, nice one, Viper! ATM I don't have DLC28. If I download your package without having the DLC, I won't be able to use which variants? As far as I know I shouldn't be able to fly the F-104A and the F-104C variants, am I right? Regarding what Dunois said, then you may think to make an alternative package where you use the old F-104A and F-104C models made by Ajundair, although those models are showing their age, with a revamp they could shine again. Anyway it's up to you, it's no request, Christmas is near, so we have to enjoy the free time! Take care, mate!
  8. Something better, don't use SweetFX anymore, it's a PITA to install to make it work with SF2. Check the following link instead, it's a thread I made time ago about a great and way better alternative called ReShade FX; http://combatace.com/topic/86862-reshadefx-a-great-alternative-to-sweetfx/ It's simpler to make it work in SF2 once you get used to its framework / menu. Moreover it does include lots of effects including those of Sweet FX. All in all it's an upgraded Sweet FX, let's say.
  9. Thanks for the question, I forgot to say in my previous post that I added, thanks to Crusader's help/info he gave me, the two Iraqi oil terminals, Al-Bakr and Al-Omayeh, pretty much in their RL location. However for the time being Al-Omayeh is jus a copy of the Al-Bakr terminal. In the future I'll make some changes to it.
  10. Damned RL made me stop at it for a while. I managed to complete most of Iraq, now it's time to move the the Iranian coastline and add the missing rivers there, then I'll have to add the road tiles. Below I included two screenshots with TFD Tool, Mosul is good enough, the Kirkuk area is not close to reality instead (due to the 63% size of TW stock terrains). Two question/requests: 1) Speaking of road tiles, does anyone have a map which contains all main roads that I may need to add to the terrain? 2) Do we have a dam model? It is needed for Mosul, and somewhere else too I think.

  11. Political Discussions

    Menrva replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    I forgot to make the request to be part of the political arena, now I guess it's the time, add me too, please.
  12. Interesting, baffmeister. If you manage to find an overall fix for this black screen problem, please share the info with us.
  13. This happens to me quite a lot, I think most likely it is due to the terrain or the entire mod install which is rather big and thus heavy on resources. Try lowering your gfx details in the options, it might help or not, I really have no clue.

  14. Have they no shame?

    Menrva replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in The Pub

    Moreover I've heard that a Turkish journalist has made a research, apparently he and his team have discovered that Erdogan is secretly arming ISIS (trucks carrying weapons have been discovered moving in and out of the country, the government made it appear as if the trucks were carrying humanitarian supplies, what a joke). He is now under trial, since Erdogan has accused him of espionage. If it were for me, the EU/NATO should cut its deals with Turkey immediately, they are up to no good. And then you wonder why the West hates Putin so much, we have another dictator called Erdogan which seems more dangerous atm.
  15. You've been super fast, mate! Some of these are so gorgeous and colorful that I'm afraid Uncle Sam will never make them like this, lol, but who cares, we have SF2 for our what if day dreaming. Nice job!
  16. Yes, there are about 100 topics here by now about this, and all have the same conclusion. Video drivers. You have to use old video drivers (I assume you have nVidia card), the latest version which seems bug free is, from what I remember, the 353.XX (don't remember exactly what numbers after the dot, but you get the idea). Search some of the threads in the SF2 general discussion section, you might find better info there.

  17. Paris attacks - 127 reported dead

    Menrva replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub

  18. Top notch stuff as usual, Paulo! Great job!

  19. Paris attacks - 127 reported dead

    Menrva replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub

    180 wounded, 80 are reported in critical conditions... My condolences to the families of the victims.

  20. SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016

    Menrva commented on Viper63a's file in F-22

    I might check some loadouts from two other games/simulators I own based on the F-22, although the loadouts were just based on guessing at the time these two games were made. Let's also keep in mind that the F-22, while it is indeed a stealth fighter jet, would carry external weapons too in case things get hot and in order to maximize the firepower against aerial targets (or even ground targets, but the F-22 was born for air superiority, even though it is capable of multirole ops).
  21. A welcome surprise! My favourite plane just got an upgrade, thanks Viper!
  22. Damn, I almost forgot about the TODs. Well, I can always borrow them from some tilesets and change the trees' gfx accordingly. After all, I've made many new transition tiles already for the snowy mountains and the Caspian Sea green-ish regions, borrowing TOD from other tiles and such. Some of our great artists here at CA will surely make a better tileset once the damned terrain gets released, so for now I consider my tileset as something that has to be replaced completely one day or another.
  23. Wow, this terrain is going to set new standards in SF2 terrain making. Keep up the good work, mate!
  24. My apologies if I misunderstood the tone of your post, Wrench. Yep, it seems like that I have to make such new river tiles, they're really needed. I wonder how many though, I'm a little worried that the terrain has 200 tiles (203 to be exactly) already. I'll have to do some clean up first, there's two or more tiles in the data.ini that are just copies of others. Thanks for the advice.
  25. There you go again... Does that mean that I'll give up with the terrain? Hell no. That just means that most likely I'll have to scrap the idea to put all minor rivers that are in the Kirkuk area, just check Google Earth and you'll know what I mean. Thanks.
