Sundowner

A few more from an early Da Nang airbase....

It was the stock TW airbase issues that got me started on doing my own.........

It happens when the "Flat Objects" eg parking area's etc are not placed low enough in 3ds Max, there's a very fine line between making them so low as they dont show at all, or positioning them a few inches above the terrain which then causes the Z buffer fighting issue. I've come across it a few times when making my bases, just because they appear to be made at 0.0 on the Z axis very often they're not, I have all my runways, taxiways etc,etc set at 15cm above "ground level" in 3ds max which seems to be the sweet spot for me.

TileToHeightGridRatio=8 is for 250m heightmap resolution maps.

Da Nang. Late 1966..........

Just an old screenie I found on an old backup drive.

I have my Vietnam set up just for missions south of the DMZ, plenty of mud moving and recon possibilities...

Not too sure about your Da Nang tower location but my reference's show it further down to the south on the old original pan, basically between those first 2 large hangars in your screenshot. Originally the old French built tower was used for a short while before the US built their own wooden structured version which again was in time replaced with a more modern "concrete" structure. All these US bases are very hard to depict accurately as they changed so much in the early years as various combinations of materials were used during construction then upgraded as need to suit newer aircraft coming the war zone, just the types and sizes of the revetments alone can be a complete nightmare

It's been a while...

Getting rid of a lot of the "old crap" on the site would free up some space. Also allowing the individual to delete their own out dated stuff could help......I've never been a fan of uploading my stuff and not being able to delete it when I want to.

Personally I don't care what happens to any of my stuff anymore, whether it's locked away here or scattered all over the net, it's all old work and outdated anyway.

That feeling of returning home after a long time in hospital is priceless.

Yes, TAE appears to be case sensitive. Thanks again for your continued support .

Blimey !!!! It's way too complicated for my simple mind......

If it happens on every target area and its a terrain where you're using a TFD exported Data ini ,it's because the TFD uses a lower case letter where the game uses upper case . It's where the name of whatever .jpg,tga etc is. I cant remember the exact naming but its some thing like; TextureFilename= as opposed to ; TextureFileName= Sorry if I'm not being very clear....

These are the only pictures I've found so far....not much different to what you have.. Also it might be worth me mentioning that the top edge of the flap/aileron join has a small curve to it, most folks miss it out when modelling but it's definitely there.

Truly outstanding work Volker !!

Left side only, added in the late 70's also seen on some RF-4C's.

It's a VOR/localizer antenna........
