Alaska Theater
-
@ Red Dog I really don’t care what you have to say, you lost credibility with me on the last go around. Just leave me be. Thanks.
Please respect the rules, especially the first one, and it seems the seventh
Whether you care or not the fact remains that Red Dog does have some experience and a fair amount of credibility in this community. And he continues to give a lot back to that community.
This is a public forum so expect opinions to differ from yours from time to time. If you can’t deal with that you can always start your own, where you can be Top Dog. Oh, wait…
Back on topic though… Alaska scenery with a DirectX 11 graphics engine and terrain engine… Red Flag - Alaska… now that’s something to dream about for the future for sure.

@Cloud:
Unfortunately with the SRTM data I have, none of those are within it!!
If someone else has the available SRTM data for that area, I’m up for it.
I have already generated the theater for the SRTM data I previously posted though!
Cheers,
C9
Out of curiosity, which airports ARE in the coverage area you have?

@Red:
- the only guy who came up here with a draft of something
Uhhmm, not exactly!?

There’s several, I haven’t wrote them down, but they aren’t the major Air Force Bases.
BUT, stay patient and stay tuned, I will have an update later!!!

Agree in full.
And if I have caught the sense correctly, Darkman, not to dream only about, if for this.With best regards,

UPDATE
Malc generously allowed me to continue with his generated Alaska theater and move on with it. It’s in a very infant stage and he posted one shot of it but here’s a couple other pics.
And the SRTM shot in TerrainView showing the airport/airbase names:
Some are hard to see so here’s the list:
ANCHORAGE INTERNATIONAL
BETHEL
BIRCHWOOD
DILLINGHAM
EIELSON AFB
ELMENDORF AFB
FAIRBANKS INTERNATIONAL
GALENA
HOMER
HOOPER BAY
KENAI MUNICIPAL
KING SALMON
MC GRATH
MERRILL FIELD
NENANA MUNI
NOME
PALMER MUNICIPAL
PORT CLARENCE CGS
RALPH WIEN MEMORIAL
SEWARD
SHISHMAREF NEW
SOLDOTNA
TALKEETNA
WAINWRIGHT AAFIt’s up and running in BMS, of course Tactical Engagement only. But there’s a lot of work to be done.
I want to Thank Malc for allowing the use of his original work and the data he supplied. He even sent additional data(SRTM/E00) that could potentially lead to an additional version which includes Russia(for now, just sticking with 64Segment as it’s the safest). Story/project for another Millennium!! :rolleyes:
As soon as I get artwork done for the 2D map I will post pics of that and of the rough terrain. Have already did some quick cleanup tiling in bulk but there’s still lots of that work and artwork to be done.
I have commitments later today and tomorrow(moving), to a near by town, which won’t take but a day as everything is already set, just have to get my rig over there and I’ll be back to work by tomorrow evening to get some stuff done and a few pics posted.
Now, EVERYONE THANK MALC for his generosity to the community!!!
Cheers,

MALC, given the poo poo back and forth, allow me to be the first to say, THANK YOU!
I think you’ll see it will be a lot of fun and once we have it, it will be another area in the world where we can play fighter pilots.
This looks very great, ferry flights and Red Flag, here we come!!!
Now it’s very clear you have a side to choose, shall you be RED or BLUE

Well that was unexpected. Wicked! Without going the fully custom airbase route (unless, of course, that’s what you’re planning) would we be able to use the Fukuoka Airbase “model” for Elmendorf and the Osan Airbase “model” for Eielson? They both seem to be the closest to reality in terms of runway layout.

I have Wonson for Elmendorf at the moment. Have to do some comparisons.
Custom airbases is part of the plan but down the line.
Also Rybo, sorry I didn’t respond to your PM, I accidentally deleted the soms a beach!! DOH

It’s already looking pretty great man. Eielson looks like a great base and is very similar to Osan in a lot of respects, but you are right, it is on a completely different heading, ect. which seems like a PITA.

I PM’d you? :-?

@Cloud:
It would have to be rotated, which is a pretty big job in itself. All the PD/PHD and features have to be rotated!!
But it’s doable, and it is pretty similar.
Ahh, I didn’t know that rotation was that involved. Bummer.

LOL, I just looked at that again and yes, Fukuoka Airbase is 505 Wonsan, which as I said, that’s what I’m using for Elmendorf.
I couldn’t remember off the top of my head which model was being use for Fukuoka because that airbase name has been changed over time in Falcon!!

Yea I remember back when they used to call it Kadena and it confused the hell out of me lol

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I could not freaking remember it, I went back through other installs of Falcon, even FreeFalcon, and it was named Tsuiki Airbase, why I don’t know(and I was there!!!), that was in FF 5.0, but other versions of FF had it as Kadena.
Anyways, time for a screenie, Theater Selection artwork:
I’m gonna add my Red Flag logo to this later!!
