Is that some Nevada!? (Nellis Update)


Recommended Posts

So, its been a while since I made an update. This is because I have had to make some big decisions about the project that were hard for me to make. During the time between my previous update and now, the team has been hard at work collecting data and reworking almost every aspect of the project. Here are some screenshots that I took earlier today during some testing. As you will see, the terrain is being reworked from scratch. This decision was made for two reasons. First off, myself along with others, were not satisfied with the quality of old textures and mesh. Now, if you are still reading this and havent skipped to the screenshots, you might be wondering why not simply just rework the current terrain? That brings us to the second point. The old original .max files for the terrain were lost and there was no other option but to redo it. Hopefully you guys will see a difference between these screenshots and the old terrain that you might have seen.

So Wags is ED delaying the A10C to allow Hawg time to finish his map? Or will you releas the A10C regardless of the map condition? If it is not finished it won't be included.

So, will this be doing double duty as Iraq terrain, or is there something separate planned?

 

I have not heard of an Iraq terrain being created...

Hawgs has already finished his work and posted it. However, I did not feel that the quality was high enough and since we lost the original files, so I am remaking it with high resolution than before. I have no idea about A10C being delayed, but I would imagine it would not be.

The mesh resolution looks to be higher? Is this an indication that we get an engine that can/will handle more detailed terrain? :D

Because that opens the posibility for more detailed mesh for the standard scenery too, doesn't it?

Looks great tbh :)

Panzertard The mesh resolution currently being tested is higher than standard Lock on, FC, BS,and Hawg11's Mesh. This is not an indication of ED changing anything in their graphic engine.comparing this Mesh and satellite textures with the old system of the lower resolution Mesh and piece textures is like comparing apples to oranges. This is a third party work Being built to push the limits and create the most realistic Nellis Range complex area possible. How and when it will be implemented will be up to ED if it is accepted

CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Nothing Zack your right I'll let Lucky Bob9. Know we are wasting our time and we should be on the beach drinking and picking up Hotties not working on a bare mountain desert; what's so special about that?:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::doh:

Other than the obvious fact that it is an accurate representation of the Nellis AFB and environs, Clark County, Nevada, which interestingly enough sports the Geography of a desert..............

BTW I saw the "old" Nevada mod and I must say I like it. It covered a huge area around Vegas but I couldn't calculate correct area in sq miles or kilometers.

 

Does the "new" Nevada cover the same area and how big is it exactly?

 

Thanks!
