Thanks Dave. That above did not work, but EGHI generated new 16seg theater template based on his Somalia and managed to import and save my stuff to it. We are in business! Thanks EGHI!
Good new’s….Happy Theater Building!!!

@SkyKnight:
Hi all,
…
REDFLAG: -…
Cheers,:drink:
Boy if I read one more thread with the Operation Fighter Pilot vid I must puke.
That’s about the worst Red Flag vid…once posted a Red Flag vid at FF which was way better.
Apart the shty soundtrack and comments the part where the guy is beaten by an F-16 and then sits in his F-15 pit and shouts hurray just forks it for me. Badly compiled, badly done, shtty vid.Sorry for off topic but since I saw that vid in one or two ways posted at BMS 2-3 times in the past 2 weeks…
Carry on, nice job.
And not meant vs you, SkyKnight, I just hate the video and it’s posted sooo often at flight sim forums.
I try to find the better vid and post that.Chrs
-
Ah yes and the vid is called Operation Red Flag IIRC.
BOY do I hate it.
I find the cooler docu and post it here tonight. -
PPS: RedFlag fans and SkyKnight: So you see I am not (only) a prick, I post the better docu in the Hangout section now.
Chrs

BTW here’s more evidence why some peops like myself think the Red Flag IMAX whatever movie is crap…

Greeat jobd Polak/Toonces, the screenshots look great. I can see how 2012 reallys isturnig out to be the year of the BMS addon theatre.
-
Sorry, but pictures in toonces post are not from current Fallon-Nevada project. This somehow proves how pictures can be misleading. Despite the fact that they are old, they are great pictures. As the recent input about terrain topic shows
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?11931-Free-Falcon-ground-terrain-graphics/page11
no tile paint effort is worth the time put into it. -
Yes, I thought that was clear; my screenshots are from Dee-Jay’s Nevada theater, heavily edited into a rough draft of what a 16 segment Fallon theater would look like. The tiles are the old Nevda tiles- nothing new.
Mostly I’m trying to gauge how the theater feels at 16 segments. I think Ted might be right and that 16 segments might be too small. It does keep the fights close, but there isn’t a whole lot of extra room to work with. I can’t imagine this theater being a lot of fun with modern -120s and SA-10s; you’re going to be taking off practically into firing envelopes of each other.
However, if you remove all the fire and forget stuff there is just a ton of dogfighting you can get into. That’s what I enjoy. Mixing it up and getting into sidewinder and gun range and slugging it out.
I think there are a lot of improvements that can be made to the terrain with some of the things Ted has previously posted. Even as crappy as the Nevada tiles are now, it’s nice to have something new to look at besides all the green of Panama and Korea over and over and over again. I really don’t know how this theater is going to turn out, but I think there will be opportunities for us to experiment with some interesting scenarios.

I am definitely afraid it IS! Particularly when the starting Airbase (Fallon NAS) is to close to the theater edge. You see this "edge of the world " every time you take off and your immersion is killed right from the get go! However, after cleaning some ends and odds I shall send you a files for you to experience it personally and draw your own conclusion.
-
Maybe we should just do 32 segments then. 16 segments is great for the campaign, but I hadn’t considered the edge of the world thing, and also, 16 segments will be limiting for anyone that wants to do a modern scenario in there.
Maybe it’s just better to go with 32 segments now, before we spend too much time on it.

Good idea.
16Seg’s bring on a whole TON of shite that need’s to be worked, ala GUAM.
Not for the feint hearted\NooB……trust me.Regards

I really hope this theater happens, would be too cool. Thanks guys for all your hard work. Everyone who isn’t capable/knowledgable on these things appreciates it.

Hey Skynight,
This whole theater was predicated on someone building me a terrain. Since that never happened, work never really got started beyond the neat idea stage.Markturner has expressed some interest in building a terrain in this general area…perhaps he’ll take the ball and run with it. At any rate, I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for it.
