China passed off Top Gun footage as real exercise

Yeah I think the problem is also that extreme political views sell better because people like the let their imaginations run wild with unrealistic threats. Chinese think that the US is encircling them and trying to contain their economic/military rise. Americans think the Chinese are a threat and want to pull a Nazi Germany 1933 by invading central Asia, colonizing Africa, invading Taiwan, and Monopolizing the South Pacific trade routes. Anyone who ever took Economics 101 will tell you that before the politicians can get anyone to fire a shot the people with money and influence will stop them. This isn't the cold war and I don't see why people are making it out to be one. -

Its like blinders on a horse. You only let people see what they need to see. If they see too much they'll be harder to control. And 1.6 billion people would make whats happening in Egypt look like a joke. -
I also noticed in kung fu movies Jet Li or Bruce Lee always shows up in a room full of people dressed in white robes and they are the only one wearing black and they are usually on a mission for revenge LOL

Hey man that's how the system works. Its the whole us vs them mentality that holds us back as a species. Some politicians say one country is bad because it has no freedom and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. The Russians had it bad 20 years ago, now it's China. People need a perceived enemy to want to fight because it gives us some sense of meaning in life. Human beings are warriors by nature. -

Funny how the news media is like social media. It's like Facebook. People are quick to judge others and talk shite but only put up the best pictures of themselves. Everything is skewed. No freedom in Egypt is permitted because they let us use the Suez canal. Lol -
Where is this file located? Also if I change the parameters will it effect other theaters or will it exclusively effect the single one? This is a big issue for terrains that use satellite imagery.

It's really just the Western and Chinese media getting into a pissing contest trying to make each other look bad. Same thing happened during the Cold War... -
Actually before FC 2.0, there was an advanced haze ground effect which did a better job at hiding this:

(Sorry Blaze, I hijacked this pic from you lol)... You can see here what is going on. The color mask of the terrain texture is overpowering the much higher resolution noise texture. It makes the terrain look fake and low res.

Color Psychology Red: Red is also considered an intense, or even angry, color that creates feelings of excitement or intensity. Black: Black is the absence of light and therefore, of color. It represents power, mystery, fear, evil, unhappiness, remorse, anger, and death.
