Stary

no screenshot but a pun you'll clearly understand (it's a mod in the works) edit: mandatory screenshot inclusion

Meet Fighter Strike 2, a lost gem from 1993 Yes, I AM one crazy lunatic modder

soo, is it worth it? Haven't been playing the series in few weeks really, does it bring better gameplay to say stock with minimal mods NA?

you win the internetz Nikos just spare us the after action reports will ya?

as in every other sim that has clouds (and other particles like smoke) cast shadows, Il2, WOP, Falcon:Allied Force to name a few, TK could implement the shadows in two days but hasn't since 2006

seems that here I am still not banned LOL (shq pun) Ok, guys, any idea how to completely disable aircrafts' skins filtering on game rendering pipeline level? For my "total conversion" mod I have on my HDD I need low resolution, say 128x128 or even 64x64 custom skins for various aircrafts being rendered without filtering nor mipmaps. Skins I can do myself (convert the stock ones in fact) but I tried disabling filtering for many many things like terrain (via _data.ini entries) or effects to no good, I guess this is forced by usage of Dx10 shaders (UseAdvancedShaders=TRUE, ForceDx9=FALSE) any idea? I aim at game-level option not driver panel level or the likes edit: not only aircrafts but ANY in-game objects, ground mobiles, f-tanks, base structures etc. everything that is LOD based, TOD objects work via _data edits

Nope, I wan't textures not being filtered at all

(not buying but) all my USB are occupied in my gaming/simming system/machine but it's tempting, go get it guys!

so is Thirdwire apparently, give the man a break Kevin

what Matthew said sorry for a joke

donate me 200$ via PayPal then we could talk like men as tempting as it sounds given the price Dave I'm outta cash at the moment, and quite far from US

ummm... perhaps time will tell Umut, for my idea to work as imagined I need to get rid of any hardware filtering and alot of DirectX goods, shadowing and lights included

so is Stary

Sim what? oh the site I was banned from twice... in a single day

I think I'd have some time away from modding, hope you guys understand :yes:

On this very day: I was banned from SHQ Proposed to my girlfriend and she accepted CombatAce went up Makes a fine day I'd say

Is here

all please "WE KNOW THAT DAVE" thank you

BTW the most annoying thing for me these days is that Thirdwire doesn't the sim to evolve graphically, the gameplay is ok (if you like EAW formula as I wrote previously...) the planes are there, but the terrains the effects the weather and ground objects are waaaay below planes modelling (thanks DanW!) ok, I must add cockpits are among the best but we all know that also using the same tower and hangars over and over on every terrain is cheap... gosh I love some random evening rants

good one MigBuster! and the Boss comm building will be evil of course!

as I see it regarding patching, and this will sound bit strange to some -in my opinion TK felt into the trend of releasing patches too often. One big patch every title/Expansion pack that is really a patch and fixes things and adds new title features to older ones would be much better for the community than half-arsed ones every few months or even weeks at some points back. TK would have time to steadily squish all the bugs and add what he fancy, modders would be sure their efforts wouldn't be wasted week after they finish important set of mods (fellow Korea team, you know that well!) just like it used to be when I entered the series in 2005, when WoV had not patches but whole Service Packs Now I perfectly admire Thirdwire's attention to make patches at all given most of the other sims devs either kicked 6 feet under or don't give a s**t, but I think it's a bit TK's customer service he's famous of (deserves that to be clear!) that now somehow forces him to release patch once in a while even if said patch doesn't quite fix things like in: "How's going bro?" "TK released another patch this week" "Oh, he's such an awesome developer, caring for us and all" "Ain't that wonderful? Yeah it renders my plane I was working on three years completely useless now, but it's so awesome the new patch fixed one typo in Crusader service date!"

that would be plain stupid move

good work there WBS! What would we noobs do without Julhelm?

good spot Daddy, so nop new terrain and two or so variants to please both Europe and Israel owners

^LOL Jeanba must agree... forget any terrain Stratos, maybe one extra variant that's all IMO
