Outstanding job, Aegean Team!!!
Thank you so much for resurrecting this beautiful theater and helping keep F4 alive!
Thumbs up for Nikos and the Aegean team!

Luke777 has next campaign working perfect for Blue team, now we are just trying to get Red team to work perfect. This vid is about 11 days in I think and they are only halfway to goals but its progressing again. Some red in Intel map is actually not Turkey side. Bulgarians show as red on this map, they have their own side at the moment of this test. as does Fyrom and Cypress. Teams change during campaign.

Hi Nikos,
I would like your permission to make the Aegean MAIP PDF document interactive, such that when you touch or click on the name of the airfield or chart you want in the index it then takes you straight to that page e.g. Airstrip RWY 09/270 Diagram is on page 110 , to scroll through to page 110 in a PDF doc would take some time … so using interface tabs in the index (which I will create) you only have to touch or click on the name “Airstrip RWY 09/270 Diagram” and it takes you straight to page 110 … also once on page 110 if you click on or touch the page number at the bottom of page “110” it takes you straight back to the index page from whence you came.
I use the MAIPs on a standalone tablet rather than paper copy, so finding an air base to land in an emergency is much easier using the method described above. To be honest just moving around the PDF MAIP is much easier doing it this way ;0)
I asked RED DOG for permission before I did the same to KTO MAIP.
Haha, well IF I were you, I would first give it a try….
Means in almost the majority of pdf’s this can be done via the number of the page and not by clicking over the title.
That means that it is already this way, simply click over the page number (this counts for ALL of my MAIP’s pdf’s) ;).
I didn’t applied the back action, but it isn’t problem to just set the table of contents number 2-5…

Hi FT - see PM ;0)

Nikos - weather maps for Aegean ?

Nikos - weather maps for Aegean ?
Well this is also in some way under taking care.
Friend “Obi1” that has a tool for this is already informed by me and he will do his best. But not in a press tempo.
So yes, you can expect also weather charts ;).

Great news Nikos!! Thank you all!!

Sweet… Love the Aegean theater. Thanks to all those who put this together.

@Chiang:
What’s the difference between Aegean, Ikaros and 3TO theathers?
regarding map coverage:
Ikaros - all Greece covered, less Turkey landmass.
Aegean - west part of Greece missing, more Turkey landmass.
3TO - see first post map in 3TO thread. centered on Turkey, missing a lot of Greece. -
Doesn’t EMF have them all? Maybe all three groups should just get together and complete one BIG ASS KICK ASS theater.
-
EMF has and Israel part of Syria and Egypt.
When I was moding the initial Aegean theater I made an internal e-Haf team request to join the Aegean team and develop together. When EMF was at the beginning I made the mistake and left the team cause I didn’t had free time and knowledge. When EMF was released or about to be released I made once again the same proposal to ditch IKAROS and unite with the EMF team, instead EMF members joined IKAROS team. Now EMF is trying to revive with just one person from what I know and that came from a request from one person outside of the teams.
The disruption is again here.
The waste of time enormous.
For me if guys want to join forces Aegean Balkans IKAROS EMF and ITO I’m in.
We all are older and wiser, we made and said stupid things in the past and I believe we can overcome our hesitations and focus on what is most efficient. It will be a setback in the beginning but on the long-run it will be a win win scenario.
And why not push BMS team and make the theater even bigger.
Sakis Monster will support it I believe with his coding experience on terrain editor.
Mortesil will catch up with the new tool, the DB will have to be rebuild cause of the 4.34 - 4.35 and ITO guys I’m sure will be glad to help and provide details on how they achieve their super fast DB updates.
Not everything will be that good and nice their will be arguments and debates but the final goal must be our focused Target.Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

It would be great to see your efforts unified into a single, comprehensive Aegean / IKAROS / EMF / insert whatever name here theater.
You guys have so much talent that it boggles the mind just thinking about what would be possible if you all “pulled on the same rope” as we say in German
All the best, Uwe

That’s the most powerful rule for team productivity. I support Arty’s opinion and trully I wish I had the knowledge and time to help any unification effort! I know that many things have been said in the past but as Arty said all team members are older, wiser and very capable men with a huge knowledge to support such an idea.

IKAROS guys can work on Greece area and share what is done for Turkey. Aegean guys can work on Turkey and share what they have for Greece, Balkans guys can do the North Balkans area and Italy, EMF can share and pick from all the area, ITO guys have most ready from their area. 3TO guys sure they have their brilliant stars and work to contribute to.
A core team will work together and with Democratic way select and implement the best choices.
Also set the rules and the to do list with priorities.
Cannon is a master in the airports creation Monster will help as he already done with terrain editor, there are some 3d modelers, BMS team will provide a solution for the 4096 tiles limitation for starters, Mortesil will have ready his tool to ease up the models export and import along with other things this tool will do, there are also a few good campaign guys in the teams, new will join, some will go away, and the magic will be all over the place.
Some guys will produce training missions, red dog has already his interactive map in a very good status, neystratiou is the master on the navigation charts, Raptor is doing magic with the DB.
Nove will quit BMS and work on the mother of all theaters. Kouritis is a Swiss knife with tiling 3d modeling texturing… So all we have to fear is our bad self. Everything is on our favor.
And finally this theater will become the basic theater for vanilla BMS setup. Yeah I’ve gone a bit too far [emoji38]
I don’t understand why is that “stupid what” keeping us from doing so.Edit: oh and don’t be mistaken I don’t eye leadership on such a team, maybe not even a member sit, I can be a third party contributor outside of the team.

my 0.002c, better start a new thread for BIG theater project.
-
If I daresay, of course, and without any offense to anyone’s great efforts done since years most of all, seems that the time to join everyone of good will skills is near to come… isn’t so?
I’m going to put myself on the first row, almost needless to tell that, I’m ready to that call.
With best regards to all my dearest friends here,
-
I respect the ideas by all of you and I can see a good intension for sure.
But you already be off topic for a lot of posts.
Please either stop here this specific discussion into Aegean main thread or feel free to open a new one thread into “General Discussion” or maybe into “Free Discussion”.
Thank you.

True. But that is true for everything else including BMS dev alone. In the end groups have to be objective to what is best for BMS and the theater rather than personal tastes.

As requested by the Aegean theater builders I created a weather scenario that can be used as template for the Blue Sword campaign.
The scenario was created by my ‘RealWeather tool’. I build it to make life easier to quickly create weather scenarios for theater campaigns.This update will install:
-A debrief fix for Aegean theater. (Correct weather info shown)
-Realistic twx settings for the weather scenario (visibility, clouds, turbulence etc)
-Autoload fmaps for next 8 days into campaign. (day and night files)!! Note !!
-First please backup all files that will be overwriten with the files in the install zip (In case you want to revert)
-Please delete all files in \Campaign\WeatherMapsUpdates folder before copying install files
-Please understand that with these files I tried to create a realistic ‘summer’ weather scenario for Aegean, but it’s not a ‘I know it all 100% sure’ realistic setting
-It’s created using only some basic functions of the RealWeather tool, not the advanced. But It should provide for a nice base for the Blue Sword Campaign.
-Keep our beloved Falcon Sim alive, happy flying and enjoy what we have.Hope you like it, please feel free to leave some comments about the results.
Cheers Obi1
@Aegean team, if you like it please feel free to use it in your main install or hotfix.
