[HOW TO] Importing BC7 DDS Textures in GIMP
western_JPN replied to SinusoidDelta's topic in Liveries/Skinning
When the texture doesn't contain (isn't needed in DCS) transparent alpha-channel , Do mouse right button click on layers and choose "Flatten Image" before exporting. When the texture needs transparent alpha-channel, choose "Merge Visible Layers". How the results are for you ? -
ED Shop's Terrain section --- each modules' "Free disk space is required xxx Gb" text doesn't follow current increased sizes by updates / expansions. Kola by orbx store: 145 Gb 2.9.6: 167 Gb South Atlantic by RAZBAM store: 66 Gb 2.9.6: 97 Gb Syria by Ugra Media store: 63.48 Gb 2.9.6: 67 Gb Sinai by OnReTech will be increased in the next patch time, too.

King Abdullah II Helicopter Parking Slots
western_JPN replied to GeoS72's topic in Bugs and Problems
In satellite photos shot on 17/Mar./2023, 27/Oct./2021, 2/Feb./2017, 16/Aug./2015, 17/Jun./2013 , each slots 41 - 48 (containing 45,47) have one more white dashed lines showing 30 m X 30 m limit, not drawn on DCS terrain module though. To request more historical detail to UM, adding those white dashed lines there, instead. -
King Abdullah II Helicopter Parking Slots
western_JPN replied to GeoS72's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hi. In comparing satellite photos by Google Earth / Google Maps, North-west area (slots 11-16, 18-19, 21-28) may allow 20 m X 20 m size helicopters in historical. UH-60 and AH-1 (RJAF's units in KA-II) are inside it. Not for Mi-8 or Mi-24 IRL maybe. South-east 45 and 47 may allow 30 m X 30 m size as same as slots 41-44. Those two slots should be made wider and available for Mi-8 / -24 as you say. -

An abandoned old taxiway ? paved space connected to the center of RW 17/35 is not a current live taxiway. No taxi guide lines painted, No night lighting. But AI aircrafts pass here with some wind direction before taking-off from RW 16. Please rework AI taxi routes not to pass here. In another talk, using RW 16 for takeoff is troublesome. It needs long backtrack with the turning pad. Long minutes waiting for the next aircraft want to takeoff. In the case of other runways are destroyed, RW 16 will become to be used for takeoff though, I think this direction is not usually used for takeoff.

Hi. Nowadays I try to use Inkscape for vector editing as preparing SVG materials will be pasted in GIMP. Inkscape is an alternative to Adobe Illustrator. I felt that GIMP's path editing function is poor and uncomfortable. Collaborating with Inkscape brings me good results in preparing insignias / flags / geometric patterns or tweaking fonts' styles.

FC2024 | Kola Development Progress | Virtual Carrier Wing 17
western_JPN replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
I'm guessing Kola's regular price will be $69.99 and early access 20% discount to $55.99 . -
I agree the main story about too strong green glow, though --- better to prepare the screenshots for forum readers in the same date and time + place + direction between those two maps. Mine are here --- OceanGlow_sinai_20240410.miz OceanGlow_syria_20240410.miz
