Stary

nice! don't forget the collision boxes! just read previous comments Monty -yeah IF I find the old city tod master files I'll gladly get rid of skyscrapers -BUT it'd be better to mix the germanyce tiles with the ones I did for Sweden terrain as these have nicer cities layout with no skyscrappers and in general more plausible layout

Jean, can you evaluate? SAS'46 guys did some Gmax->Il2 converter, right? Given the price of Max the Gmax or dunno that bloody Blender converter could bring more modellers to the series again I think..?

I'm affraid you can't -3ds plugins are very version specific and Max doesn't have legacy plugins support, so older plugins in newer versions won't work -Discreet Logic's and now Autodesk's policy

do you have SweetFx installed by chance? I think Sweet Fx captures to Flight folder (in which it resists to work)

does it has little J.McCain figurine in the Truc Bach Lake over there? but seriously, looks very good! -I see alot of possibilities there

one can dream, does one not?

Nah, still here! Just had a bit of hiatus from SF2 and modding, that's all

it's my TWPOSTPROCESS.FX shader modifications that make the pits a bit too dark indeed -but the slight day bloom we have now is IMO worth it For the night is ...pink and full of terrors! ...but the Firebar burns them all away!

Russ, tell me man why did I thrown cash at that DCS version where here I can have several? most excellent! (no please don't let me start ranting 'bout DCS again!!!)

Yeah, plus real life duties so to speak. But in the end I showed back again as I allways do

TY Dave! for those willing to test -it's beta of course, lacks different clouds graphics for different weather states and few tricks I plan to experiment with, but otherwise working. Also as this has been a concern for many previously -the sky colours transitions are back at stock values

we could politely ask Tk for new version...

MOST interesting finds there!!! Mue, the Y-trees seem not to work any longer for me, with the 2006 version of TE I wonder Mue if we could do some sort of (any popular 3D format here) converter to finally have real 3D custom objects as TOD files? Or as I see it, engine "on the fly" creates the meshes from TOD files? Hmmm... I got plenty of unused 3D stuff done for SF/SF2 that could have use of this

Bigrontheman, that's something that will be reverted to stock values in SARCASM 2.0, but you can edit the environmentsystem.ini in Flight fodler yourself to have the stock transitions again: try replacing SARCASM 1.5 values with these taken from 2.0 beta I have: [Day] SunHeight=0.240 SunBrightness=1.00 SunLightLevel=0.99 SunRadiance=0.00 TwilightLensFlare=0.0 SunColor=0.680,0.694,0.641 AmbientColor=0.340,0.340,0.375 SkyColor=0.200,0.506,0.804 HorizonColor=0.806,0.908,0.967 FogColor=0.706,0.816,0.902 SunSpecularColor=0.810,0.762,0.740 HDRSunColor=1.000,1.000,1.000 LightSrcModifier=1.0 [Day1] SunHeight=0.150 SunBrightness=1.00 SunLightLevel=0.95 SunRadiance=0.00 TwilightLensFlare=0.0 SunColor=0.555,0.560,0.538 AmbientColor=0.330,0.330,0.365 SkyColor=0.216,0.447,0.745 HorizonColor=0.811,0.815,0.937 FogColor=0.580,0.647,0.722 SunSpecularColor=0.810,0.762,0.740 HDRSunColor=1.000,1.000,0.900 LightSrcModifier=1.1 [Twilight1] SunHeight=0.008 SunBrightness=0.20 SunLightLevel=0.80 SunRadiance=0.10 TwilightLensFlare=1.0 SunColor=0.980,0.490,0.220 AmbientColor=0.201,0.201,0.214 SkyColor=0.408,0.455,0.490 HorizonColor=0.422,0.218,0.084 FogColor=0.357,0.247,0.192 SunSpecularColor=0.980,0.490,0.220 HDRSunColor=1.000,0.500,0.250 LightSrcModifier=2.5 [Twilight2] SunHeight=-0.080 SunBrightness=0.00 SunLightLevel=0.35 SunRadiance=0.10 TwilightLensFlare=0.0 SunColor=0.436,0.363,0.170 AmbientColor=0.146,0.156,0.185 SkyColor=0.278,0.282,0.353 HorizonColor=0.220,0.150,0.200 FogColor=0.043,0.056,0.092 SunSpecularColor=0.436,0.363,0.170 HDRSunColor=0.436,0.363,0.170 LightSrcModifier=4.0 [Night] SunHeight=-0.170 SunBrightness=0.00 SunLightLevel=0.00 SunRadiance=0.0 TwilightLensFlare=0.0 SunColor=0.0000,0.000,0.000 AmbientColor=0.062,0.113,0.254 SkyColor=0.062,0.080,0.164 HorizonColor=0.077,0.116,0.349 FogColor=0.051,0.055,0.125 SunSpecularColor=0.0000,0.000,0.000 HDRSunColor=0.0000,0.000,0.000 LightSrcModifier=4.0 of course replace just these strings I posted, leave all the others intact!!! Best to just adjust the lines I marked in red and sorry for late reply, been away form CA for quite a long time, needed a break from modding

have the photos done, it's just matter of finally putting the graphics together Kevin, I want to have different ones for all weather states for the version 2

working on it, have my camera at the other place though, will keep you up to date that said, as numerous friends of mine have that Beta release, feel free to upload it here. Looking at you Swambast.

Heroes over Europe is something you could try too Steve

This is how pity and shocked little gerbiles of ours look after the bath:

now to work man! glad to see you around

makes no sense JediMaster and we both know it I used to be full-time architect, I din't pay to myself for the work I've done, it simply doesn't work that way

ohh fuck THAT plane ..again?

huh? Seriously, I own latest 3D Studio Max (which is a bitch, if you plan to bake -don't!) the Mach-One-Manuals blueprints are around 15-35 bucks per plane -I know, I've been there, purchased some for my freeware mod works- so the claimage to them being around 10,000..? gimme this money and I WILL show you how a plane looks... ticket to here included. IF you get the sarcasm. EDIT: ok, the modeling software costs "a bit" but I won't accept the thought TK buys new copy of the software every goddamn time they model new plane!

Jean! Not fair! I once saved a little birdie we had nested in out ventilation ports in the upper floor! Looks exactly like!!! Tell that vicious creature to puke it off! now! on a more serious note: any gerbile owners here? have few pettin' questions (so Nicholson stops eating my fingers!!!)
