      Hello all you fighting orphan’s of the Pacific……

      1.Tile’s are 100% done on my part,Ted and Carlo have different idea’s 😉 Tiles are becoming irrelevent
      2. Elevation’s are 100% done Due to the new POC working on Tinian, elevations are now a new WIP 😉
      3. Objective’s are 90% done
      4. IA.cam and associated file’s 100% done
      5. DF file’s and doctrine’s 70%New WIP
      6. Art is 95.5% done
      7. There will only be one cam pain in my a**, that is Redflag……that’s it,don’t asked,as other’s are not doable IMO 2%done No Campain this time just 7 TE’s

      Some pics……

      Change Log:……ROTFLMAO…No Clue…a lot has changed,guess one would need to read my post’s these last four years.

      In any event it has been a long four years in development with Guam and I thank the many who have contributed\supported us in this WIP\POC Theater…Hat’s Off to them!!!
      I believe we have pushed Falcon forward and hope to continue that in the coming year 😉 Remember as a 3rd party developer “We don’t know what we don’t know, but we CAN find out what we don’t know” There is MUCH more to come…;)

      Here is the link to the Dev copy:

      HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017!!!
      EXTREMELY Tired demer……

            TwoJay,

            The final elevations were not set at the time of these screens. Demer is in the process of finishing them up. If you will notice in one of the screens the caution light is on, that is because I had to fly in instant action and got hit by an SA 13, I guess he was camera shy.

              Hahaahaha……No Bump Mapping yet…Still setting elevation’s.

              The first pic by Vag’s show’s the Highest point on Guam,reference for me,that is all.BUT,that was yesterday,today:

              As you can see elevation’s are smoothing out,getting more ……Cough Realistic…It’ll be fine

                Actually believe it or not that runway is actually wavy, kind of like a shallow U. I did a short tour there, Guam is the devils play ground! Can’t wait to fly this!

                    I vote try and make runway curved would be awesome if it can be done and was not trying to be critical but more applauding you not all RWY’s are flat in my country Darwin airport has been the best fun I have ever experienced in takeoff and landing.

                    Hats off 🆒

                    Alice the camel has 3 humps……

                    LoL

                      No,No 2J,

                      Criticism is fine,as long as it remain’s constructive.
                      I can’t,for the life of me,figure out how to “Bend the Wire’s” so to speak in BMS.Tried it 6 way’s to Sunday….no joy.
                      It IS VERY IMPORTANT for MP…soooo I’ll conform\form the theater for now…to BMS

                          "ETA??? One more Falcon week……Please bear with me…it’s not easy being cheezy… "

                          I thought that came naturally:D Jokes aside, that is a great looking theatre. I can see some very fun USAF versus USN Red Flag fun. Now if we could only fly B-52 bombers from Guam to Korea…

                              Notwithstanding current limitation of number of tiles/sets in BMS, concept of making entirely photoreal piece of combat area is great and provides with completely new and realistic perspective of the modern fighter pilot who has really split second to make error free decisions about the target and enemy positions in respect to his own plane. Not so easy and IMHO only photoreal terrain gives just little idea of the scale and minute (looking from the air) detail. Interestingly crafted combat scenarios and campaigns could and should make things really exciting.

                              Sure, that in the long run it is probable impossible to make large terrains entirely photoreal, however the trend should perhaps continue and new ways and concepts should be researched on how to marry and stitch photoreal with, unfortunately sometime, cartoonish looks of standard tiling.

                              Great job Demer, sir 🆒

                                  I think photorealistic or semi-photorealistic tiles are a good way of dealing with the current limitation of the Falcon terrain code regarding cities and forests. Polak and demer928 made very good contributions here, also the Aegean and EMT teams.
                                  There may also be an aestetical aspect of how to operate a Viper to get the best out here, I used to be a “20 feet” fan, but with BMS I find flying at combat altitudes more attractive, especially in clouds.

                                  (:tjacked: :eek::nosep:)

                                  Cheers

                                          Nice job, Demer and crew.
                                          I like the tiles flying @ 5000ft and above , although I’m curious how they would look in higher resolution.
                                          (low res is especially noticeable on the pixelated roads ;))

                                          @Khronik
                                          Also nice job on the night tiles (tool).
                                          Is it posible to give the lighted parts an slightly orange color instead of pure white?
                                          … would look more realistic IMHO.

                                          Cheers,
