View File OTC 2 Cuba tree mod This is tree mod and tiles update for OTC 2 Cuba terrain. Apart from adding varying coverage of trees, I've also did some retiling, to introduce new tiles for visuals improvement, and to avoid spawning of trees in the wrong place, eg. on runways, also not to have some targets in dense jungle, rather on less covered grounds.

View File Enhanced Explosions 3 effects pack My third approach at modyfying explosions to give them that familiar hollywood-style exaggerated look: new graphics, new emitters, brand new look for the series. And YES, they are best looking when combined with the HDR/Bloom plugin. New for the series are generic nuclear effects. Submitter Stary Submitted 07/12/2008 Category Effect Mods

Try adjusting sea level.. I'm starting to learn TE, so I can't help any more

Seems they have it:

Silverbolt you converted sea tiles from tga to bmp?

Hmm, seems I'm falling in love with this cockpit :blush2: Could you make russianized verison? j/k

You guys should see his Me-262, but I don't remember links to it... Guy's top modeller @Kukulo: About "too detailed" models -we don't know full potentials of SFP1 series engine I think... TK left many marks of interesting features that he later abandoned or stopped developing in core files (eg -helicopter type objects...)

the tod files and detailmesh dissappears at around 13300 feet alt.

I was trying in [AlphaObjectTextureMaterial] in terrains data.ini Edit: No, it still doesn't work for me, when setting alphatestenabled=FALSE in environmentsystem.ini under [CloudMaterial]

It doesn't help. Must be related with detailmeshsize= related other way. edit: but I've tried a lot to get rid of this square doing treemods, and no luck on it yet a tought -maybe setting CullMode=NO_CULL to other values will help, but CULL, COUNTERCLOCKWISE and CLOCKWISE doesn't help either

Ravenclaw_007, Do you managed to set the detailmeshsize to 20? I'm getting CTD setting it higher than 17, which seems to be enough to kill framerate on most computers, but also satisfying in appearance: My setting are lower than Fubar's: [FarSceneClip] FarClipDistance=120000.0 NearClipDistance=3000.0 [NormalSceneClip] FarClipDistance=50000.0 NearClipDistance=249.9 [NearSceneClip] FarClipDistance=250.0 NearClipDistance=1.2 @Fubar512 "Out of curiosity, what was your intent with increasing the detail mesh value?" -to increase tod files rendering range..? or is there any other method? And thanks for posting your values, will check them too!

On final, busy with Cuba tree mod ATM. Will upload this weekend !

X RAY, Have you tried manually setting anizotropy filtering to x8 or x16? I have similar issue with WOI when setting Nvidia CP to "application decide" -other TW titles by default use high anizo and antialiasing settings, but WOI runs without them (at least without antialianing at all in my case!). I have 8800 GT 512, and as you have very powerful card(s), you won't probably loose a thing in frames by setting anizotropy filtering to high values.

Working on it, few effects left to be done

C5, great to know you are planning to make NF3! Any chances of adding more RED side airforces (GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia)? If you'll need some tuning/upgrating of my forests mod, I'll be happy to participate.

Yeah, seems they solved the problem.

Just to notify I'm having IPS Drive Error messages today when accessing anything on CA. Haven't got such one in few months. Anyone else, or just my side error?

Happy Birthday Marc! May the Force be with you Jedi Master! Always

Yes, dogfight are epic, even in quick mission mode

I am speechless Julhelm. Boots look ok

I bought it few months ago, I think it's underrated solid simulation, good revamp of an old gem (Rowan's BoB). However, there are few issues that bothers me: Strategy -Like kesegy pointed out, I'd prefer "simple" pilot's point of view, squadrons and resource managing through all the windows is still hard and confusing thing (have been flying Mig Alley since 2000) Graphics are very good minding the core engine years, apart those multiple layered top clouds, which tends to disappear on my ATI (newer GeForce works ok) It's really, really hard one on full realism, first few missions I wasn't even able to pursuit and intercept bombers Some objects (ships) are straigh from original BOB, may change with patch In fact it's stable from 2.05 up (currently playing 2.06). And things that shine and makes it worth buying: AI! Pits -have that good old EAW feel, good detail and performance Dogfights -it's best at portraying WW2 furballs, had Pacific Fighters for a short period of time, that battles compared to BoB 2 are tiny Radio and ground control -declaring emergencies, leader calls ("That's it! Shoot him!"), many many excellent voices Clouds and lighting are nice, aswell as that watershader Developers seem to include best from user made content into it, as seems by the 2.08 preview This topic makes me wanna launch it this evening And I look forward to their new upcoming title focusing on Burma and P-40 + a new terrain engine Post Scriptum: Don't know if you are aware but there is an action sim called "Air Battles: Sky Defenders" which is in fact BoB 2 without campaign (only BoB 2 customizable instant action missions), switchable action-style HUD display and different terrain textures, plus few others tweaks, have it too.

Happy Independence Day!
