Well until the targets and cities are started( or hand tuning tiles) it doesn't take much to resize a map. 2 would be best, all the way covering all of Ukraine, some of russia, all the way west to Italy, covering the whole of Turkey and greece would be almost as daunting as Lexx's half the world map. This is the point where I'm wishing TK had gone with a whole world map like MSFS. Where we could place targets and they could be the same no matter what the area of operations. Tilesets were an area I was extremely worried about, maybe we can all use the same set?

Pureblue and brain, perhaps we should collaborate. All three of us are building terrains covering the same general area. Mine is a bit farther East and North to cover all of the Black Sea and Ukraine. It'd be a waste to have such overlap and three maps, each with different airfields targets and terrain tiling.

Tiles are there, its just the land portion of the tile shows up completely white!

Better an odd nickname actually used than something we make up I say.

oh s**t! Didn't fastcargo fly them out of Texas too? has anyone talked to him?

Help! I'm starting to get the hang of the terrain editing, but my coastlines are all screwed up.

Where the hell did that "In soviet russia, pants wear you" quote originally come from anyway?

AI should handle it fine. I was flying the harrier campaign 2 last night and a flight of mig-25s took out half a strike flight of F-5s way out of visual range.

shouldn't it be column5.ru then?

It's been GTA3, GTA vice city, GTA san andreas and now GTA4. So technically it should be GTA6. Oh please! I've been playing violent games since I was oh 5. Yeah I'm pretty screwed up, but not in a violent way, and I was like that before the games....god damn vaccines.

Condor sounds alright, it doesn't jump out as a perfect match, but there's nothing wrong with it. Hell why doesn't one of us call up Northrop-Grumman's or NASA's PR office and see if anyone there knows if they gave it a nickname while it was being flight tested?

Why are your transition textures normal looking? Or more correctly, why do mine look screwed up? Mine have the land portion being solid white, I figure its a bug when they were made bmps from tgas and that's how they just showed up, but I must have done something wrong.

A 3ds suggestion: If you can find a good 3-view with cross sections, you can build much of the shape outlines with either splines or nurbs curves and it can compute a good surface on its own. Works best with smooth bodied planes that can be difficult to get the contours right.

Then we could put a second cannon on it and say its the return of the gunfighters

I could go for F-29 tiger III since its an evolution of the design. Or wy not use sparrowhawk or peregrine for the F-29? I decided on Mustang for the F-31 a while back, and unless someone else builds one, my fugly half built airframe that will eventually be an X-31 will be called 'Mustang II' Why? it's even more agile than the X-29 with its thrust vectoring, and its blue and white paintscheme is reminiscent of many P-51 schemes and makes it feel more fitting.

Mustang II is going to be the F-31 unless someone can come up with a better name for her.

Ah facebook, the premier method of wasting time for us college students!

As if there was a chance he wouldn't be found guilty? Well, he's 73 they reported. 15 years would in all likelyhood be more than enough for him to die in prison. Assuming he lasts more than a week to begin with. From Austria, born 1935. hitler youth probably had a lasting sadistic impression on him.

Already have that with WOI, just waiting on patches for the rest of the series. The simplest way to make the series better would be for TK to have a bigger budget. His complexity level is right in a sweet spot, you can get realism without a Phd in switchology. I saw a psuedo-review of WOI by Andy Mahood in PCGamer's sim column. He did not do WOI or the series justice whatsoever, no mention of the mods for the series. He complained about the graphics, particularly the terrain, but in a little currently playing box, he has Falcon 4 listed. Now forgive me if it's my eyes, but all the screens I've ever seen of F4 are vastly inferior to the graphics of the SF games. LOMAC has much nicer terrain, but SF could probably be as detailed, it's just a question of time and effort in building a terrain. Effects are the best I've seen so far. Just compare F4 or LOMAC's afterburner effect to the SF games. Even stock wins, with the 3rd party AB effects it's not even a contest.

I can live with rapier. We can always just leave it F-29A and not bother with a name, they didn't bother in ATF but I want to do better. Of more importance is getting this terrain autotexturing to work properly with transition textures.

Northrop has a patent on switchblade, but its a swing wing design. But I like Stiletto, call it that. A hellcat II needs to be a heavy naval fighter. The new plane should be comparable to the ancestor (A-10 Thunderbolt II , P-47 thunderbolt both ground attack excellence, F-35 lightning II, P-38 lightning - jack of all trades multirole aircraft)

"Welcome to Serbia...I think..." Yeah, I'm struggling with the terrain tiles too. Pain in the ***! I must say. For some reason the transition textures aren't autotexturing. I dread having to manually texture the entire black sea, a good deal of the Aegean and Mediterranian coast.

You pick, razor is very :ghey: and warhawk II just doesn't fit.

China's the big worry there. It's not like we'd conceivably go to war with India. But what were the conditions of the simulation? Did they just drop two planes like a dogfight in game? Or did they simulate the whole operating procedure and battlefield environment? That makes all the difference. If an AWACS can direct the eagle to the flanker and get a shot off before the MKI can even fire off the first missile with this tactic, then it really doesn't matter. I'd probably be more worried about the airframe of the eagle than the enemy aircraft actually.
