ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement. What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own. These aircraft are aimed at the folks that actually like to fly missions, So going by that line of action all markings and serial numbers are painted on, this has the added bonus of gaining me a couple of extra fps and also means that I can export the lod WITHOUT the decals option, this definitely gains some more precious fps. This model is a combination of the old (Crab_02 RF-8G) and TMF RF-8A max files which I was working on from the very outset. The RF-8A never got released because of Oli's sudden death. I've combined what I think are the best parts of both to come up with the models here, they may not be perfect or "historically correct" in every way as they are a constant wip. Please read the readme, you never know you might learn something....... Sundowner. -

What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own. This model has been created from the old freeware AlphaSim OV-10A, which in itself is a lot more work than most of you think. Most of the original AlphaSim model has be "re-moddeled" in some way. All animations have been done from scratch and may not be perfect, bits have been added and even more bits have been removed, all parts have been remapped etc, etc. Please read the read me. There are other Bronco mods available here at CA, this is not designed to replace any of them, you have the choice to use whatever you like or what works best on your system.

What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission. A collection of 40+ buildings, hangars etc. All these objects my own work, they may not be 100% historically accurate, if that is really important to you don't bother to download them. They have been made by looking at photos of the actual structures and sometimes a little "artistic licence " has been used to keep frame rates down etc. Any missing textures or whatever just let me know..

This is just a small part of a whole lot of Terrain Objects I've made over the last few years, they are all created and painted by myself either using the original max files or started from scratch. Please read the read me...................it's for your benefit. During installation if you get asked to overwrite something STOP !! Cancel the installation and rename the files causing the conflict. My work is no better than anybody else's so I'm dead against replacing other folks hard work. Having a choice is nice. Have fun. Submitter Sundowner Submitted 07/09/2024 Category Ground Object Mods -

How many TOD objects are possible per tile?
Sundowner replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
[TerrainMesh] TextureThreshold=0.80 LowDetailMeshThreshold=0.9 MedDetailMeshThreshold=0.8 TileToHeightGridRatio=8 RenderMeshVertexCount=16384 RenderMeshIndexCount= 16384 //SolidObjectVertexCount=0 //SolidObjectIndexCount=0 SolidObjectVertexCount=4096 SolidObjectIndexCount=8192 AlphaObjectVertexCount=36864 AlphaObjectIndexCount=36864 This seems to be good for about 1500 Alpha objects ( trees ) for me.. Per tile that is. -

Texture issue
Sundowner replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Like Menrva said, it's usually a gpu ram problem, get some program that lets you see your cpu/gpu usage in game. I run an 8gb Radeon RX580 & sometimes I max it out, too many hi res textures or just too many textures in general soon add up........I have 670 terrain textures and those alone are quite a load before we even get to any object textures. -
