Somalia Theatre ?
-
Ted’s terrain is outstanding.
It’s not Africa, but the best desert Falcon artwork I’ve seen.Tom
-
Thank Tom. My tiles are for use, by whoever wants it but the crux of the matter is to make/edit the theater and this is where the good and (as much as Falcon4 tile terrain engine allows) “realistic” feel comes from. BTW any news about Redko’s project? That was really good desert IMHO.
-
Just a few q’s: Polak: are You the Polak who are/was involved in FF. And crazyTom: Are You TomDWaelti?
Not that it matters, but I’m curius.
If it is so, we have a great source here, and we should all be greatfull
-
LOL, you are correct in the case of Polak, but no crazyTom is not Waelti, he also is related to FF as TOM, a campaign tester on the FF team, and even though he is not Waelti, he is an invaluable resource. I know, we worked hand in hand for over 2 years and did a BUTT load of very excellent work for me and the FF team.

5 minutes work… (Gulf of Aden):
Is easy to do, because it is boring.
Not urban, river, etc. ……Even a limit of 4096 tiles, should not be big problem, looking at it:I think that’s a good idea for a new theater. But….
Cheers,
Arek. -

Despite some “ups and downs” @ FF I honestly miss that teamwork feel. Oh well, I know that it too did not carried on forever, but it was nice while it lasted. Here @ BMS I sense we are little more separated and more like “every man for himself”. Which perhaps is fine too, but projects naturally would take longer to be completed and enjoyed.

I agree Ted, but, as we know, for what ever reasons, all things must come to an end. We had some great times. Thanks

Arek.Great job Eghi, very good looking terrain. It doesn’t look boring at all. I think the rural nature of the theatre makes it a great theatre for desert tank war campaigns. Also, it makes it an exciting possibility of engaging older Russian against similar Russian equipment using classic weapons. Say something like FAB bombs and Atoll missiles.
Or, with the right type of SAM and AAA defenses along with a fictional upgraded Somali Air Force, we could have USN/NATO versus North East Africa campaigns. Or we could have have combination of the above two scenarios. It would a very different, but challenging type theatre.
How much of the terrain do you have done? If you could spare some time for more terrain work, I can work on some artwork and a template.
-
If you can give me terrain, I’ll look at throwing some campaign stuff on it.

Good day Ted, he is offline since over a year now, no one got a clue what happened.
Hope redko comes back because his artwork reg. tiles in IL-2 always rocked and he had a way of creating tex and aligning them in the IL-2 engine which is far beyond my horizon.
I tried to learn the basics of map editing in this sim and it is the same in IL-2 as here in Falcon: The guys who do the 1st class work have years of experience and self-education on their backs. -
PS: Imagine a Black Hawk down scenario where the Deltas and Rangers got F-16 and AH-64 support.:eek:
That would rock. -

Hmm …ok… If you find some more people to work, I can build the whole terrain.
Sort of thing:
I’ll think about it after holiday.

Eghi, we can ask around for additional help. In the meantime I’ll start building a template sort of like the one I had for Kore 2012, using Molni’s database. I’ll see if I can get some help regarding the UI. If you can send me your map, I’ll see about getting it incorporated into the rest of the artwork as part of the campaign selection screen. When the template is done, I’ll post a link so other contributers can start filling the threatre’s holes.
Your choice of terrain tiles look amazing Eghi. I’ll admit, I have never been to Africa, but they look really good for such desert terrain.

That does look pretty amazing.

Just playing around, what do you folks think of this as the selection screen TDF file?

Nice trial my friend Gavin ;).
Maybe the “Somalia” can be “Somalia theater”. Just a thought.

Nikos, do you mean like this?
