crap... there's drool all over the keyboard Great model!

Ok, I think I've finalized the river. Now I'm working on some that match the stock terrain, not just the sim-mod terrain. I want to take the existing river texture and just remove the water, put in my water and put in the rapids. However, I'm not sure of the legalities of this. I don't wish to take credit for the entire river texture, but just the water; not the river banks. However, I still want to make sure I'm not breaking any laws by releasing this. ED, please help me here... Thanks Oh, and the new mouth textures. http://rapidshare.com/files/92954940/MOUTH.tga.html I hope to make textures for each season, and then someones going to have to help me with a modman pack that will install each texture to the correct place. Thanks again Aero

For Blaze This site appears to have some awesome stuff. You have to call them for pricing, but it looks promising. They have sticks and throttles for damn near everything. (well, American aircraft. not Russian) I'd imagine they'd be quite expensive, but if you discover the price, please tell us. http://hirevsims.com/

Before I had my TrackIR, I used the mouse mini stick on my X52 for my head. All you have to do is edit the config/view/view.lua file. Where it says: CockpitMouse = false. Change it to CockpitMouse = true Now you can use that mini stick as your head. It worked well for me... until i got Track IR, which ins an infinitely better solution.

Hey blaze! I have this awesome book that shows me what every button does, however, I don't know which one turns on and off the radar. There is this erase button at the top on the MFD that says erase. Is this it? maybe we could share info, but then again, I'm not going for absolute realism, just a representative cockpit.

Right click in the box and select 4 way or 8 way, then assign the keys. I think this is what Konkussion means And, I just want to second Konkussion's recommendation of Track IR. It's an awesome device, and he just gave you a $20 discount. It's well worth the $160. There's nothing more natural than using your head to look around.

Ok, oh well, I'll try again... I have a few more ideas. I really do appreciate the honest opinion. I'm thinking I'll make the mouth kinda like a river delta, with sand and water flowing around it and though it in smaller streams. I haven't had a look at the wide rivers yet, but I'm assuming you're correct. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to change it. I noticed there has been some difference of opinions with this. More rapids, less rapids... I think I'll include an option of several different textures and the user can chose. (like what you're doing, brit_radar_dude) Same with the mouth of the river. Does anyone know how to make certain textures specific to a season? I'm going to have to make a separate river for each season, and thus I'm going to have to know how to do this. I'll do more tomorrow. luckily, I have next week off, so I'll hopefully have more updates!

Hmm that's strange... I have re-uploaded it but this time with a new mouth texture. Here are the most recent screenshots: And the new textures: http://rapidshare.com/files/91921597/River_textures.zip.html Enjoy:thumbup:

UPDATE! Well, here's both the new river texture and the river's mouth. Again, suggestions please! I only added more rapids to this one, nothing more. However, they appear a lot more random. (It still does repeat, but that cannot be helped.) http://rapidshare.com/files/91874399/River_textures.zip.html

hmm... where are these locations? I believe these are just places where the river was, like you said, "developer stretched." I cant think of any other reason. I have a new river texture with more, random, rapids. I think they look nice, even on flat terrain. It's too bad I cannot make special rivers for certain locations...:( I'll upload these textures and check out this bug tomorrow... And thanks for the nice comments... And note: I made this texture with the sim-mod terrain in mind, not the default, but it still looks good!

Drop it in your bazar/temptextures folder.

My pit's for lock on, so there are less buttons that can be used, and I'm not wiring every button on each MFD (that's 60 buttons total!). I will probably end up adding more in the future. I'm keeping the keyboard next to me just in case until then.

my river mod... but i won't be doing any other mods.. My F/A-18 pit Lock on Well, and school, but that's not relaxing...

Update! Ok, I added some rapids and changed the river banks... I must say, it looks a hell of a lot better, but still needs some work... Still got that darn noise texture on the water... any ideas? And, of course, the texture here if you want it...

yup, that's next. I'm going to be using this one I think. http://www.rossmeeks.ca/?p=3 . It seems the easiest to wire and still cheep. 32 buttons is plenty for my pit.

The roads and everything else is the sim-mod beta you can get at lockon files.

Have you checked out this thread yet? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=28018 Very nice pit! I like your custom split throttle!

MAJOR PROGRESS Well, school sucks (well, at least HW does) as it takes away lots of free time, but I finally got around to doing some stuff to the 'pit this weekend, and frankly, I think I did quite a bit... No wiring or "avionics" as of yet, but that's next! I've got the basic shape done now. It's moving right along. Can't wait to fly in the thing! :pilotfly:

lol, your right, :D but I think that's the noise texture on the water... @ Graywo1f: Yes, I think I'm going to do away with the sand banks... however, when i was looking at other lockon rivers (sim-mod and stock), there wasn't much dividing land from water except a distinct line. Thanks very much, I'll have updates soon i guess

Ok, so with everyone trying to help make lock on a bit better I threw in my 2 cents. These are my river textures, and my first mod ever! (so be kind please!) I know they aren't perfect, but I do hope to improve them, so any comments are welcome! I was tired of the rivers in lock on, both the stock ones and the modded ones by sim-mod didn't cut it for me, so I made my own and thought I'd share! I hope to add some rapids... and make the sandy area on the side stick out less... but I hope it's good enough for a start. Any one know how to get rid on the noise texture on the river only, it seems rocky's noise texture covers everything. And the texture: http://rapidshare.com/files/90419772/RIVER.tga.html If you want it. Just drop it in the Bazar\temptexture folder. Thanks EDIT: I haven't done the mouth of the river yet as this is still WIP.

The textures are sim-mod's lo reload beta. Get it at lockon files. It's awesome! (summer textures only however)

any thing's easier than vista.

And that's coming from a good movie maker! Nice find! That was awesome!

Well, I guess it's not quite as important as radar thru mountains, but still, it's kinda strange... Have a look... have people had this before? I hope it's not a repost, a quick search turned up nothing...

what do you mean? :huh: I never said I was giving up... It just seemed to cross my mind... I'll see what I can do... look at various squads and such, so which are good with out too many restrictions... etc.
