Hi Guys Hunter - The trees still look like the screenshot at the top of the thread but AFAIK they use the same technique as LOMAC. Whether we can get that many into Falcon 4 remains to be seen but I think in some ways Bob Crawford's forest block may be better as close packed forests don't have big g...

Hi Zaggy I am in the middle of finishing the "clump" model (the line/avenue one is done). After that I have to talk nicely to Jerry to help me get them into the "Terrain Master Patch" he is working on. The objects will then be available to all theatre makers but won't be placed (I still have to disc...

Hi Zaggy I haven't started testing ground units with the trees yet as I need to finish creating the "avenue" and "clump" models (probably 2-3 days time). After that I want to find out how many I can add before FPS gets affected. I agree with you that the ground units should at least be able to go th...

Hi Guys Thanks for the feedback. Bob Crawford is working hard on the block forest models so I'm sure we'll have something soon. Regarding a few points: RP - The buildings actually need sorting out as those small dark conifers are 65ft tall yet they are larger than the 8 story building to the left wh...

Hi Zaggy I can perhaps answer some of your queries although I maybe wrong as it's been a while since the Balkans was at this stage and Widowmaker and others have made good inroads into expanding the terrain engine since then. Regarding data points - Falcon 4 can go down to a 250 metre resolution DEM...

Hi Guys Glad you like them. At the moment there are 3 single tree LODs which I have added as features to that junction objective just to test. FYI - Each tree is just 2 polygons in a cross shape (thanks again CCC for the idea) and a texture applied to each face. I could probably do some more work wi...

Hi All Just a quick one to show the latest progress I have made with trees in the Balkans. http://www.cmcarter.demon.co.uk/trees.jpg I still have much to do in order to make the implementation as painless as possible and to get the best effect I can but the basics are there. Later Chris "Washout" Ca...

Hi Zaggy

Sorry but that background is so nice I have had to steal it for use as my desktop wallpaper

Outstanding.

Hi One thing you can check is that the "scenario" field on the Campaign page of TACedit is pointing at the savex.cam file you are using. I missed this when I first started work on the Under Siege campaign for the Balkans and found it was pointing at another campaign file. This meant that no matter w...

Hi Again One thing I forgot to mention after I read the Striker's post is that: Given any entity within the Falcon engine can be controlled and after some work on the networking code, there should be no reason why a massive online war involving every conceivable entity including a 1st person shooter...

Hi SnakeMan Glad to see you're well - any plans on more Vietnam devlopment? Regarding the development of Falcon V I can see the following happening: 1. RP5 & e1.10 released 2. Theatres, models, data edits (RP6+), cockpits (have you seen what Aeyes has been up to http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/ubb/smi...

Hi There One of my squadron works for CA who own Multigen. He tried to get hold of a copy for me but got told in no uncertain terms to get lost (actually worse language than that). BTW - Price tag is around UK pounds 25,000 I believe although this can change in negotiation dependant on what you're u...

Hi krfrge You are more than welcome to use anything from the Balkans theatre that you need. Just give the Balkans Terrain Team credit for the bits you do. Later and good luck.
