I'll wait a little more. Having fun with the other WW1 title right now will see how thing develop regarding ROF. New simulator with brand new engine is allways welcome after all. Ok, apart from Whirlwind of Vietnam thingy

Maybe, after let's say three more free added planes, I'll buy it... maybe...

Happy Birthday Nicky!

Malibu43, be aware that once you buy CFS3 you'll end up running on it OFF phases 1 and 2, which leads straight into WW1 marvel the OFF:BHAH is... at least so it was in my case recently CFS3 alone puzzles me... as it's in my opinion worse (as a sim) than IL2 family, I found out to my own surprise I played it more than IL2 all the years now. The only thing I may negate is the as JediMaster pointed out indeed outdated graphics engine (but I'd die to have such terrain engine in Thirdwire sims, with all the roads and rivers networks and mesh resolution...) Also there are full total conversion mods like MAW, PTO and ETO, that add and improve much over the out of the box version Please note that my opinion about CFS3 vs IL2 is from single-player only gamer. edit: as for OFF Phases 1 and 2 (you can skip the first one) they seem to be no longer available for download, but there's a DVD swapping at combatfs dot com (sticky on Cfs3 general discussion forum IIRC)

Very good work!

Clearly my decision to buy OFF BHAH instead of ROF was the wise one...

Going for a 10 day trip to Croatia tomorrow -so a lot of beer and local beverages for me

Didn't know that, thanks for information Spinners

looks like you were using useadvancedshaders=1 in options.ini, but only if it's happening in new series

Welcome Finally I ordered my copy of BHAH today, so I may come up with some noob questions in near future :yes: (how long does it takes, delivery to eastern Europe?) Call of Juarez was good shooter in my opinion, has some minor issues, but overall recommended if you like western theme. I'm modder from Thirdwire jet simulations forums here at CombatAce, the thing in my sig is from upcoming India-Pakistan mod I participate in.

Sorry I didn't make it clear, COJ=Call of Juarez BIA:HH uses Unreal Engine 3.0 IIRC

Enhanced Explosions 3 for SF2 series View File This is a simple update of EE3 effects pack to have them working in SF2 series. Thanks to 331KillerBee and Dave for being crash test dummies Credit my leaking memory for NOT uploading them back in May when this was done Submitter Stary Submitted 07/01/2009 Category Effect Mods

Hello It's Chrome engine developed by Techland (creators of COJ and COJ2), COJ used version 2.0 of this engine, COJ 2 uses updated one IIRC. And yes, all the games using this engine have a bit crappy character animations

It's in the Materials section of given effect, blendop= defines how the alpha channel (transparency) on tga file is proceeded and rendered here's an example from vehiclefireeffect.ini effect in EE3: [VehicleSmokeMaterial] EffectShaderName=effectLightLevel.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE IgnoreRenderOrder=FALSE AlphaTestEnabled=FALSE LightEnabled=FALSE UseLightLevel=TRUE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=0.000000 PriorityLevel=3 BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA <-here NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName=EE3_MB_L_smoke.tga TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE [VehicleFireMaterial] EffectShaderName=twColor1.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE IgnoreRenderOrder=FALSE AlphaTestEnabled=FALSE LightEnabled=FALSE UseLightLevel=FALSE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=0.000000 BlendOp=BLEND_INV_SRC_ALPHA_ADD_SRC <-here NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName=EE3_Expl3_Ani9.tga TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE note not all effects have the materials defined in them

Interesting, haven't checked the ENBseries DLLs in a long time, will give it a try...

nope

nothing there still

Quick question -where are the new AVHistory FMs available? Capun's? Here I found 51, 47 and Zeke only, are there others?

Nice wallpaper Dave, looks familiar back on topic -the only thing I haven't yet used to is the multiple Cat files -hard to remember where's what, and a cat extractor with the ability to extract single selected file would be of great use

new pics! good to know you guys are still working on it! edit: Is it just me that I see transparent water on the second pic?

/warning: fanboy mode ON that alone are worth the money! /fanboy mode OFF But I understand your point of view, I was slightly disappointed when SF2 was released, mainly because of the "old" terrain (WOI has shown how great default terrain can look!), but then came the patch and SF2V, I simply could not resist Love the SF2:Europe ,also I hope FE2 with the advanced shaders enabled will run super-smooth on my not-so-fancy system

Fake pilot method..? Modding HUD to display green image is also an option

My old installs crashed and burned with my drive a month ago... now all I have left is Oct08 WOE, and India-Pakistan (also Oct08 WOE) rest is the new series, not merged, but I'm going to do a 4-titles merged install when SF2:Israel comes out. Also seeing there's a chance for good reworked prop FMs (AVHistory) I'll do a WW2 install too

:yes: currently, darker nights are possible by modding environmentsystem.ini I think, but night vision ain't
