HELLAS (IKAROS Theater)
-
Its two different things photographing military bases and using google earth. Hope you can tell the difference

Thank you gents, for sharing your work with us!
You have my respect, as everyone that contributes with their personal work for the sake of this community.
Cheers!
P.S - @ sabouras: humility and recognition are human characteristics that you simply can’t buy. Either you’re born with it, or you don’t…

@EggsNFries true story… they where actualy caught in limnos island the island that arma 3 story is taking place…

I like terrain, well done seams tiles, not like mosaic. But farm too green IMHO.
Good job guys anyway!Question to moderators. Can move this thread and : https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?20095-IKAROS-THEATER-V-1-beta-CRASH-The-solution&p=290194#post290194
for Aegean sub-forum? Will be easier to find some information about progress. -
Honestly? in 2014?
Yes in 2014. I know it’s a bit far but the law is still the same. No matter if your photograph mean is a photocamera or the camera of GoogleEarth… Nor to say that Google Earth also can go against non licensed usage of their work.
how nice! just another waste of time project for us then!
why did you actually release this thing (would like to use another word, but I’m afraind I will get banned) anyway??? is there a meaning??? show what? that you can build something that wanna keep for you?Pointless and SUPER BOOOOOOORING!!!
It was not in our intention to bore ppl out. Kouritis created a theater from zero and reached it to a point where it is usable via TE’s… since we as a community have harvest many things for free we thought it would be a good gesture to return back. Sorry if our efforts aren’t good for your standards.
What Arty the I-know-everything-about-everything hasn’t built a campaign yet???
Oh man! Very disappointed…!Sorry to disappoint you m8. Working on 4 projects for free for Falcon BMS. I don’t know anything I just try to be active on the team… Most of the time I’m wrong, but I still try to get better.
I have an aswer to that! They should ask ehaf and the 320th!
We r not police or anything else… everyone is entitled to do as he thinks. We thought of that… that we did. Others can do whatever they think is right.
Nope. Apparently, not all of us live in the same age!
So, what new in this thing??? Why one should download it???
P.S.1 Yeah, I know! Another Greek wise@$$ here! Love you all guys!
P.S.2 From now on I will definitely post more often. Especially, when stuff like this come up.The whole subject would have a meaning in a general post where we talk about resources and reinventing the wheel… As we clearly do now… Aegean Balkans EMF IKAROS ITO… but it’s another subject that we r willing to discuss in another thread… U can start one if u like and deposit your thoughts and solutions.
Well it is generally well known that all of greece’s enemies were waiting for a photorealistic complete theater of Greece in bms to start planning & executing war plans against our country!!!
Thanks for keeping our country safe!
Oh my god…
Yoda u can create your own photoreal AB’s, give public your real name and let’s see what happens…
Great work guys. Please forgive me my ignorance, but how is your theatre different from The Aegean Group’s project? Also, what are the Blue/red forces? Are they HAF versus Turkish Air Force?
Sparta said about the MAP difference… Yeap RED/BLUE are Turkey vs Greece.
Kouritis worked alone for the 99% of the theater for almost a year… I believe he deserves some respect on that alone… He came baring gifts out of nothing…
But u know what they say for Greeks…
Fear of the Greeks even when they bring gifts… :lol: something to lighten up the discussion.
Guys thanx for the warm welcome…

Ok … Let me tell you what will hapens if I see again such kind of BS
=> I close and supress the ENTIRE theatre Forum.
(To preserve international security if I follow your point!)
Use your brain guys, and do not think that Iron Eagle is the real life.
So now … Back on topic or I close it as two days after being open.
Edit: ok Yoda, I got your point now. However, this is called “sarcasm” and do not have place here.
The only thing you can say guys, is: thank you … Or nothing.
(Sometimes I wonder if I am not dreaming!!! … Did you had to paid for this? I do not think so.)

Dear l3crusader, you are missing the point. My comment was not a critisicm of a work not well done (i am sure its great), but it targeted sn absurd comment, at least for me.
Google earth is public and no country uses it for spying reasons, thats what military satelites, drone aircrafts are used for.
Simple as thatMaybe using satellite images would be legal by respect to Greek law, maybe not. Maybe the Greek law is absurd not to allow to take pictures of their airbases, maybe not. But if OP does not want to take any risk, respect that and dont make this kind of comments.
About spying, satellites, etc : what if I told you… that airbases are also possible targets for terrorists, who dont have this kind of means ?
That you still have recon forces in US and most occidental armies & air forces, despite them having spy satellites and drones ? Direct eyes on a target are still the best way to learn about it. So there is some logic in the Greek law.Additionally, using directly Google Earth images anywhere else than in Google services is illegal, as per their terms of use. There are open source alternatives though. But anyway, no, its not “Simple as that”.
-
Your off the point again mate, i never said that the greek law is absurd.
According to your own words if usage of google earth’s photos outside their software is illegal, then any software containing such photos is illegal as well and no matter of how ABs are tweaked the software remains illegal. But hey you said it, not me…
So it seems that national secutity reasons have been reduced to personal security or avoiding any possible legal consequences, which is not true since any sites administrators bear responsibility for what is published on their site.
Its ok to say that in order to avoid such problems our release is like that and for any of us its tottaly respectable. Thats the way the designer wants to design his product, but saying that we did it to not help Greece’s enemies plan attscks against our country is another thing

IKAROS THEATER V.1 beta CRASH, The solution

Is there Google Earth pictures in this theater?
If yes … tell me, I close the entire theater forum.
Meantime, suppress BMS from your hard drive because I think that Kunsan and Seosan are using GE materials (?)

I think we are overanalysing this issue. In my opinion the effort of the designer, any designer, is to be commented as it promotes the community. But also for me the presentation of the theater needs rework (poor choice of words).
PS ask the creators whether they used google earth or not for creating this theater, not me. You may be surprised with the answer
-
Great work guys!! Thanks and congratulations for this amazing amount of job done!! One question, as I’m not at home until tomorrow night, can I ask If a updated 3d model for the A-7 is incuded? Thanks.
-
Thank you Dee-Jay and l3crusader
To those who do not understand the post -> sorry but !!! what ever I try to explain goes to air. It’s no worth to explain no more.
320FW thanks the comunity members that gave a try to the theater and for your good words.
We are waiting for your feed backs to make Ikaros better.
-
Thanks for your hard work and I hope you continue sharing your efforts.
I tried to and I think I could understand everything quite well - although I’m neither native english nor greek speaking.
Blue for greece and red for turkey makes a lot of sense allready.
And I don’t mean good guy, bad guy but the flags colours. But this was discussed in 20 page thread to death already.So, thanks for sharing your work and keep on sharing it dear falconeers!

Like in the old Aegean I’ve more fps than in Korea. Almost 10-20 more.
I’ve found a texture problem in Thessaloniki airport, some buildings in the sea in some coasts and it should be nice to remove the dead rivers in the farms textures.
Forest and mountains are beautiful. I’d like to see Arty runways here also.Thank you everybody who worked on this project.

a great thanks to all of you for amazing work you do !!!
-
Well I didn’t had time to test them in IKAROS… my priority was Korea and Aegean cause at that time IKAROS was under heavy thought of how we will progress with it…
We took the decision to go for Realistic Airbases but this will be a long process.
IIRC someone must have used the textures in IKAROS but we didn’t do a full check to report if all airbases are ok.
Normally it should work ok as the AB are the Korea ones but there where some AB textures that I didn’t recreate and maybe some of them are used in IKAROS… don’t know.
I will have to check and report back.

There is a nice wallpaper inside C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Ikaros\Docs

work on 99.99%

Thank you 320th for this beautiful theater.
I can very much relate to your work as ITO started its way in the same fashion as squad project to let us fly in a more realistic environment.
Keep it up mates
