Stary

Happy Birthday gang! :drinks:

there are plenty of Belgium variant planes in downloads section for Series 1 (that's how we call it anyway opposeed to SF2 serie)

welcome partiorDJ have you peeked into the Strike Fighters Knowledge Base (knows as KB)? A lot of interesting reading awaits you there http://combatace.com/forum/99-thirdwire-woewoiwovsf-1-knowledge-base/ and true, most switched to Series 2 which has better graphics, better optimization and tons of new features

Great terrain my friend! Of course I'm spoiled big time by WIPs of new terrain engine, but your version is also very nice. Some interesting texture, tile work too!

I think these will be static, but who knows

at least that your perfectly clearly voiced opinion gave us new stunning water Dave so please, criticise some more

Hyped up too

or maybe vertex color channel being used

similar to IL2, format I'm bit familiar with -I guess global colormap defining types of overlaying textures (rock, snow, grass etc) transitioning one to other per that colormap (which of course could be grayscale) Also IIRC FarCry terrain editor used similar thing (did few maps for it back in the days) but of course used a lot of detail textures for close proximity to player, IIRC Chrome engine used similar way too (the first one at least) and some other titles. There are still tiling textures but not exactly the same these are now in example I don't think these would be rotating ones also transitions between types seem to be done in engine/map not on tile (good news!!!) but that doesn't explain some sharp nice transitions between glacier ice and rock/volcanic rock ones visible in few areas on A-7 shot edit: looking closely at new terrain shots -I have no idea in fact... looks like global hires texture

also in the Tomcat over carrier shot, I see some difference in waves pattern, those closer to camera are different than these further, interesting, Fubar512 WILL have something do play with

clearly it's only me who loves the rough 3D sea and beautiful terrain features? everyone else focusing on some stupid launch something j/k

Thrustmaster Flight Hotas X, or cheaper Flight Stick X http://www.thrustmaster.com/products.aspx?CategoryID=1&PlatformID=5

hahaha those Cats are ours that's what I call backfire lol Prowler? Would be interesting. Might be a flight member?

I wonder it the A-7E will be flyable? My bet is yes, for some ground pounding, the existing model is already very good cockpit wise

two more I missed

I guess all catapults are working

I'm not going to boycott this...

I loved turtles, had few of them. One even survived desperate jump from loggia 4 stories down to garden (duct tape makes wonders) Furry meowing thing, no way! My Grandpa's home was allways full of cats, village end such, oh those were annoying

Found this precious one on ATS, quoting whole OP I don't know... I don't like cats, cats don't like me, must be something true in this

yeah the fallout is gone seriously Rise of Flight went loong way since the release, now it's free -with 4 airplanes, you can buy additional DLC planes to use in campaigns. Oh, the optimization is much better now too

you guys were in a cave past two and a half years or something?

hehehe far from that... I suck at match for example

yeah thanks

Slarti I think (hope) that someone will pick it up, so it's good news
