Guam Beta Release
-
RTB’d and guess what??? The island had moved away……Though I had set the Carrier Move Speed to 0 and removed it’s WP’s
It doesn’t matter what the Carriers move speed is. And for it to stay stationary, it needs one WP.

OK Cloudini situation solved, thanks anyway.
Going forward we now have a flyable feature in Falcon……no you can’t Fly the feature, though in some past versions you could, as well as drop them as Bombs…ROTFLMAO!!!
BUT we can now TO\Land on the island. I choose Tinian for this experiment as we could never get the L2 to bend satisfactorily due to its extreme elevation changes in RL. It is mostly flat to the North but has some “Mountains” on the South end. So some examples of what demer is doing “Outta’ the Rabbit Hole”…AND Way outside the box…I mean WAY Way way outside the box…LOL!!!
Do not take the last Pic as what is going on in Guam. That was just a test to see how far we could take the concept if we wanted to……it took five days to get there…
Very tired, but delighted,
demer 828 -
So we have gone through the ropes with this concept, but it is now working in Game as it should.
Short explanation of “What in Sam Hill is demer doing here”!!! I ran across some tools\plugins recently that showed promise for Modelers in Falcon. I am not one of that group, I am a “Hacker” per se……(Thanks “U know who” for that moniker…U never knew what you had :rofl:)
What we now have in Falcon is Photo Real “Textures”, not tile’s, being used with Real Life elevated Features i.e. the RNWY mean ELV. is at 270 feet in RL with a variance of ± 50 feet (can be < if we want to spend the time ;)) with an adjusted L2 to correspond to the Land Mass Feature…dunno any other way to put it so we understand???
So some more pics to help us along with the exploitation……TeHeeTeHee:Ahem,B4 we say that demer has flattened Tinian again. NO he has not…the other Islands are L2 derivatives and are over scaled due to the L2 limitations in BMS.This is it in RL:
Top view is TinTin in Google Earth Real Life, middle is the PS file converted to 3DS, bottom is how Falcon BMS renders.
See??? or do I have to make OAHU in Hawaii come alive B4 we believe……LOL!!! Easily done now
EXTREMELY tired demer
P.S. Just a kicker to see what may be next with Falcon\DX9c…Hmmmm???
……BaWahaaHaaHaa…if we only had a canoe!!! Yeah Mike (Toonces) surf’s up!! Just gotta find where in the CODE this Abstract is called out or not…??? I’m pretty sure Gilman had them put it in there somewhere. Maybe under Sea manager BMS boys??? -
So TinTin now has a new “Face\Space” developing in Guam.
Wadda’ U mean now, demer??? I can hear it already……LOL!
Some MORE pics to explain I hope…In this Pic I am cutting into Falcon, Tinian, 100% PR texture (NOT A TILE) and 100% RL elevations. I have left some of the old L2 tiles and elevations for comparison (the squares).
As well mind the FPS.
The FPS has increased a lot. This is due to the PR tiling being removed from under the Feature. Remember what I stated years ago “Falcon prefers to load One tile and use it a million times instead of loading one tile and using it ONE time”. So this eliminates that from the equation.
Here is a pic to demonstrate:In this shot I am at ~ the same altitude\attitude as the first pic, but I have scrolled the camera to include Saipan, which is just…LOL!!! PR tiles (That we spent almost a year developing, and applying…Suks to be us) over the L2 wire frame.
At this point
We can see clearly the drop in FPS when we make her draw “one TILE One time”.
So how does all this “Fancy” stuff look to “Joe Pilot”…Pretty damn good…and with good FPS…;)!!!Whoops theres the PR tiles on Saipan popping in and sucking FPS.
Ahh…. all better now
Ummm…BTW I have Plugged a few “Landmasses” into some other theaters…guess what??? It works…
We have decided to release this “As Is” this Xmas…it will be released as “Developers” copy, no less\no more…PERIOD!
“To infinity and Beyond”

if u touch the 3d object what happens?

edit: Here is a quick explanation: The 3D FEATURE sits atop the underlying wire frame. The underlying wire frame has tiles, in this case, very low resolution. Don’t need hi rez on the “Base” anymore, so to speak. The TILE’s are in a Water type set, hence when you “Run Into the Feature”……BOOM!!!
The ABASE, though it is in a Water type set, has a Plains AREA drawn on itAgain, I can try to explain it to you, BUT I can’t understand it for you,

B4 the release of Add-On GUAM “The Developers Copy”……
Please read and understand that some things have changed in the BMS Falcon world. Therefore we need to be careful now not to step on anyone’s toes…so to speak…per legal council…sigh!!!**"Personal Use License for Digital Downloads

BIG SIGH…
tired demer -
Wow, I didn’t knew that you were a lawyer Dave… :mrgreen:

Did I miss the download link…?

Sweet Mary Mother of God ….All this for kind of community intellectual property … bureaucracy in its worst.
You could just say it is Christmas present, let Santa’s lawyers take em on that Christmas can’t be commercialized :mrgreen:
oh… Xmas Dave!

errr with a quick read of this “agreement” and taking word by word, and by the word of law, means squadrons for sure can’t use it. Specially if this squadron collects money from members to maintain their server which will host and Guam “maybe” so… Also a squadron by having more theaters online will receive the remuneration cause ppl will choose it cause of it’s plurality.
In more it can’t even be used for personal use as it claims. Cause with the “not be used in any way whatsoever…or receive any form of remuneration” blocks the moral psychological remuneration of happiness and joy or excitement or apathy.Hmmm so a total utopia…??? it kinda says, we release something but u can’t use it at all.
Just an example of exaggeration from my side, sorry had to react as I thought of it too much, but with strong base if you go by the book. So one that respects those kind of things will not even download. Or just download it for the heck of it and have it sitting. Cause downloading is ok with remuneration but use is not.
Demer it’s too much m8. A statement of don’t use it to make profit or collect money is ok. I had one for the RwyTxy thingy I did like use it for Falcon BMS only, so I understand and agree with the reasoning and what triggered u.
Edit: Also were can I find and read the laws of Arkansas and US that affects and rules this agreement to see if I’m ok and on the legal side?

So Dave, does that mean I can’t add a 50 battleship task force patrolling the Pacific into the campaign?
:rofl: -
Wow, I didn’t knew that you were a lawyer Dave… :mrgreen:
Nikos.Well, there’s even worse all around out there, if for this…
I can understand you well, mate, in your shoes I would have done the same.With best season wishes and regards,
