Stary

my thoughts exactly, but put more openly GrinchWSLG

Because anything that isn't planes can be f-ugly in TW sims? Proof? Check SF2:NA mainscreen

Already do to an extend to be fair, but some things can't be changed without TK's not changing his mind how the series should look and play. I know I know, his business, his titles, his (false IMO) definition of fun. But one must remember it's our money. - My general view on the matter regarding the series is the best way would be to make it kind of like Wings of Prey/War Thunder -pretty graphics (Thirdwire models are among best after all, terrains are worse than late 1990!!!) lots of shaking cockpits and shaking external cameras, simulation part as it is now with slight improvements (separate engines controls, flame extinguishers) reworked ground objects behaviour, fixed sounds and subtitles. Replays! Then multiplayer title

ataribaby I know zero about programming but I don't think that coding few fuze types would take more than a weekend, especiall by programmer that (now no longer so obvious to me...) did all the coding from day one, correct me if I'm wrong.

I stopped believing in his claims of costs of doing things. Is it really that expensive to squish new tileset for say SF2Vietnam that looks on par with IsraelME one (best in the series as everyone will tell you) and not like the one you had in a title 5 years earlier?! The very interesting topic by nolimitsoya about fuze modelling and TK's reply is just typical example of what I'm talking about, in fact there's really no room for discussion there for me as then allways the "hundreds of thousand dollars" shows in. Ohh, I bet making new clouds bitmaps for SF2NA would cost him, please all: hundreds of thousand dollars. Thank you. (All I needed were few nice scattered days and a camera)

Sorry guys but I have had enough... The claim that it would cost him "hundreds of thousands of dollars" "modeling different fuze sensors and warhead types" is plain stupid. I don't like being treated like an idiot, and now I fell like I am. By TK. Openly. I am pissed, beware! It's not that I don't give a s**t about fuze modelling, I do TBH, even more about flak burst fragmentation patterns or apparent lack there of, I'm just plain tired of the same "thousands of dollars" excuses I hear again and again since I joined the forums See, I won't call the names (you know who you are guys) but there are few individuals who say -what if TK isn't that good at programming? Such responses are what kills every will do play and mod this series. And I love this series. The lead programmer will induce me schizophrenia I tell you that! //rant off

as for bigger map... wasn't there one by Lexx covering all Asia, called the Million miles map or something like that?

I misunderstood opening post then -if we'd make Japan only map it would have too little water around for any good naval ops -as you said better to have some enemy to fight agains, so roger on that. Also given the physical layout of terra there (see pic above) you have to include some Chinese/Russian landmass Salute to your grandfather Kevin! (mine had some issues with Russian army back in Great War, apparently they didn't liked young Austro-Hungarians)

Kevin I see no reason jumping on dsawan for asking as you did, dedicated Japan map, presumably with parts of China/Soviet Union could have plenty of possibilities in my opinion from post-WW2 soviet attack (Kuril Islands!) onwards, with US involvement for various reasons (like, well, being on the islands!) Also China going nuts a bit earlier and doing full-scale invasion during peak of Korea conflict

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if hundreds of voices suddenly cried out of joy and were suddenly silenced by next patch...

isn't this what mlracing is doing for months? And no he's not a fakery vids nut, he did similar things with OIF code

true, that would give him possibility to have all alpha-based objects cast shadows (effects and trees for example, but as he has no interest in those, we're back to IP)

Love the series, never read the books TBH, most memorable for me are: Daenerys (season 1 ending... man!!!) little Arya and Tyrion of course. Dinklage is truly amazing. The bold eunuch guy is also great

not necessary, all goes down to the way they are coded

sorry I haven't seen this topic, none with dedicated TODs at the moment, only tileset uploaded to KAW about year and a half ago

very good job

DetailMeshSize= is the droids you are looking for Dave. Try 10 or 12, can go up to 24 in my case but I don't like low framerates

Irfan view is my fav for batch works

I like it Henrik! But common knowledge not expert level like "diameter of RAM turbine on F-110 Spectre post 1969"

still in the works, most tiles are done, but the trees placement need alot of adjustments... (sighs)

BMPs don't have alpha either, so it's not an issue

I dare to write this before something happens: Streak, Dave, guys please calm down...

we never said that we don't... If it wasn't playable I wouldn't be playing and modding it past 7 years :) only other game with such long life for me is OFP Resistance and Max Payne. Maaaybe Half-Life. All we want Dave is this playable sim to be still playable -yes, for "us", people who maybe aren't that much into full-blown knob-switching realism but who don't want the sim to turn into another "title with planes and unlimited missiles" See, I'd gladly pay 50$ for revamped ATF or FA with better graphics running on current hardware... SF series gives me that to an extend edit2: What's the reason we discuss this here? Because known respected member of this community is walking away. And I don't want others to follow Jeff

been telling the same for years my friend... try saying it to diehard FSX crowd, not here but on their forums. Oh, remember to wear dragonskin armor, you'll need it... See guys, we're starting to annoy Dave. No good...

ship it to Sweden as the poster above made the best reply in this thread. Ever. written by poor user sitting in front of old 19" (hint hint )
