TOMCATZ Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Hello, I work since 2 years at this project. New tanks, helicopters, buildings, soldiers and textures. Well a long long process. Sometimes I sitting infront of my computer display with sleepfull eyes and think just like mantra: "make it realisticly! make it realisticly! make it ...." Well I`m more an artist them a constructor. So I have to interprate trees, fields, grounds to give them a good look. It`s the harder way to make it all self but well: Sometimes I`m happy about the pics. Interesting: All fighters, tanks and stoff like that builded by me Okay, so far- here some results: German Mig29G overhead Sochi Adler Mi8 while bringing special forces deep into enemys country Mig29C at Patrol nearly the southern border "Gear up- Here we go" ...on patrol-UH1DBlackhawk F-16C with LANTIRN pods at patrol overhead Georgia Hey-Marines can fly! An Bell SuperCobra at training Mi24W at tank hunting. This beast still one of the best helicopters in the hole world gun crew hold position near the border F-15StrikeEagle shooting TrackWhileScan at four enemy targets... Hope, somebody like it- Thanks for watching. I looking forward to LockOn2.0 and still thanks and greetings to ED Team. Best wishes, TOM 2 Born to fly but forced to work.
thaFunkster Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Nice job TOMCATZ - I especially like the gun crew with webbing. Funk on YouTube!
Fahrenheit92 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 A Winter Edition of this Mod is developed by me in Cooperation with Tomcatz. The first Version will be finished around X-Mas Greetz Fahrenheit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 A Winter Edition of this Mod is developed by me in Cooperation with Tomcatz. The first Version will be finished around X-Mas Greetz Fahrenheit That's the winter I was looking for to make a snowman! :thumbup: No really, I like lots of snow and always thought the default one had too little! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Aeroscout Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Loving the trees! And the snowy winter is awesome! Is there a way to release this as separate mods (Terrain and models)? This would allow for much more customization. Aero DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
BrumTx Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Tomcatz...& 52nd . amazing as usual can't wait for the mod to come out, be a nice Christmas present to all ..... THANK YOU !!! I agree with Aeroscout maybe better released as 2 seperate mods And a translation in English please lol :) Edited December 8, 2009 by BrumTx Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Fahrenheit92 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I think it will be no Problem to make two packages out of it. Some beta screens of the Winter Edition NOTE: This Mod is still in Development! Greetz Fahrenheit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BrumTx Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Teasing screenshots, looks great cant wait :D:D:D:D Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Lucas_From_Hell Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Tom, to what point you are planning to implement this mod in Lock On 2.0, after it's released?
TOMCATZ Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 Hello, well- not pretty sure about it course the winter package is completely Fahrenheits engagement. So I thing he have to answer.. I`m pretty sure that he will upgrade his textures next time but right: winter have to be really white an full of snow. Not that lightly frozen land just like we have in LOMAC right know . Allthough Lomacs textures allways good. Best wishes, TOM Born to fly but forced to work.
BrumTx Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I agree a SNOW texture not an icy/frosty day texture is needed Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Fahrenheit92 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I think it wont be a challenge to make this mod compatible with Lo 2.0 ;) Fahrenheit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BrumTx Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Please make 2 versions: #1 for FC 1.12 #2 for FC 2.0 Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Fahrenheit92 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Please make 2 versions: #1 for FC 1.12 #2 for FC 2.0 I have to do this if I want to release it before Christmas :D PS: Some new Screens [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BrumTx Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 How many day's till Christmas ??? or how many days till this mod comes out lol whichever is sooner ???????? :):) Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Lucas_From_Hell Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I think it wont be a challenge to make this mod compatible with Lo 2.0 ;) My question wasn't related to compatibility, but about how much will we benefit from this MOD after we get all the goodies from DCS. What I mean is, most of the features of LO4E are will be included already in LO2.0, and this time it won't be just the tweaks and miracles our excellent LOFC modders do. We'll get real infantry, totally new, fully working and detailed helicopter, tanks and veichle models, new, excellent looking terrain textures, objects... Regarding only to this, how much of LO4Ever you are planning to export to LO 2.0? (About the terrain 100% covered with snow, I don't know if I'd use it... Do we have any satellite picture from the Kuban region and nearby in the winter? I couldn't find any to compare, so I'm still somewhat skeptical about this snow thing :( Anyone have some?)
VireVolte_tigrou Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 But it fits perfectly with my Saabs ! :D

Aeroscout Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Suggestion: Instead of haveing the "unplowed" sections of runways and taxiways (parts with the snow still on them), keep them nicely clean, except have the cracks in the cement and tarmac filled in with snow. ie, instead of dark lines in between the sections of cement, make them white. Suggestion 2: make the snow "fluffier" using a cloud texture or something in Photoshop or Gimp, especially near the airfields and in the fields. I'll whip up an example really quick.

I am planning to make the runway icy, but I currently have to find a solution for smooth transitions int the TGA files, because the transparency is always filled with green grass or something like that Suggestion 2: make the snow "fluffier" using a cloud texture or something in Photoshop or Gimp, especially near the airfields and in the fields. I'll whip up an example really quick. I will try it ;) Furthermore I'm gonna try to make the snow a little bit more gray so it doesn't looks that clean. PS: Thanks for you criticism :D Fahrenheit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BrumTx Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 This is going to be a kick%$$ of a Mod, something thats been needed for a long time, don't forget the De-icing trucks, never seen "clean snow" at an airfield except in the middle of the airfield at Bodo, Norway, when watching the old SR-71 take off many years ago and of course high up in the mountains Thanks again Tom and 52nd :):):) Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

Aeroscout Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 ...I will try it ;) Furthermore I'm gonna try to make the snow a little bit more gray so it doesn't looks that clean... Maybe a blue-ish hue as well? Especially for the shadows? This is something I tend to notice a lot when I look outside at the snow drifts.
