Large Size Theaters
-
I agree that decades is probably overestimating it, but it’s certainly a bigger project than a few weekends.
All sounds like a plan. Would you be REALLY interested to find out how the theaters are being created in Falcon, or are we done here?
-
There are ways to overcome the current limitations in 4.32 concerning large size theaters.BUT we lose some of the functionality we have become used to.
There has always been and will always be a Compromise that needs to be reached in Falcon, the Lost Pursuit guy’s did a reasonable job of accomplishing that in the last decade.
The BMS guy’s have taken it a step further in this decade and I am assured that the next BMS release, if there is a public one, will further address the Compromise.Cheers,

Any reliable software to convert DEM files into Falcon Theaters? We can download 1 arc sec DEM files (90 feet/30 meters resolution) but I don’t know how much resolution can handle.
Everyone is talking about 64 to 256 segments but nobody gives the point to metter/feet resolution for each segment. -
Dem2Terrain download here:
http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/downloads.php Browse forum and site for more information. Getting data to make Dem2Terrain for your use is the next step.Usually this is where this terrain making interest ends……:(

Everyone is talking about 64 to 256 segments but nobody gives the point to metter/feet resolution for each segment.The resolution currently is 1KM x 1KM. To make use of anything lower (i.e 90m or 30m) you need a LOT of code changes, terrain specific code and also GFX code.

Is 4.33 able to compute additional 256 terrain files now, or does the FalconBMS crash as 4.32?
Are you going to update it? -
There are nice maps on this page:

There is also old 256seg Middle East map:
Were you able to make it work in BMS? I am asking because I have own different 256 seg theater, but BMS is unable to compute additional terrain files on start.
How did you make it work please? External program….? -
:bowd:

I have long downloaded the files of all the European countries available when I still had hopes of facing a theater of 256 sections.
Resubmit the global file link for dem2terrain.
I share these files on request

Nice timing Joe Labrada
Thanks for this files man It seams Russia files have problem.
and no Palestine data but we will try to find them. -

I was unable to find complete available data for russia. These files that define the roads and rivers are missing (they were not available for download neither for free nor for payment). I downloaded all available files from all countries in Europe and North Africa, in anticipation that someday the web of http://data.geocomm.com fell (as has happened).

I think I have working Russia west data…
BTW there was 256 seg. working Middle east theater - I used to fly there in AF times (with corrupted normals).
The map I posted is classic 128 seg. Middle East, BMS can compute on start.I was asking howto compute 256…Monster, is it hard work to update your great TE to make BMS terrain files? (normals etc.)
I know, its big, sux, i am stupid etc…but as was already said, MP is best with tactical engagements and huge maps are good for tac. eng.
I really love to fly MIG-31 and other interceptors, wanna make long bomb runs with refueling from Tule or send F111s fom England to Libya etc. etc… -
I ment this 256 PMC theater monster:

@Joe:

I have Russia East, Central, West and also China *.E00 if you want/need them.

Malc we(labrada and us) have the same file probably in 3 folder like you said west central and east folder but files not working correctly.
anyway please give these files may be works. Thanks -
EEEeeerrrrr… why r we talking about 256 theaters?
Ain’t said that it’s problematic and most cases the 4096 tiles limit is one of the major issues? -

I think
256 SEG is too big for falcon, 128 seg is big enough, 64 seg is good 32 seg is small. -
Malc we(labrada and us) have the same file probably in 3 folder like you said west central and east folder but files not working correctly.
anyway please give these files may be works. ThanksThe ones I have definitely work - but you need to load them unto dem2terrain (version 1.9) one file at a time. I think if you try to load them all using multiselect, the program gets overwhelmed and fails. Files are here: www.rusty-cage.com/files/e00_russia_china.zip
