with this new teqnuqie for making terrain, why havent Eagle Dynamics ade some photoreal ground textures and new mesh for DCS / FC2 already ? Looks great Silent Eagle ;)
Im guessing that there simply isnt time to do it... This scenery looks great though, looking forward to following this project :)

Do the elevations work? meaning you can't fly at 100 feet threw mountains?

Prob because of the graphics load on your stock pc out there

Actually, this takes considerably less time than making ground composite textures that ED uses. I just apply an exported satellite image. They have to blend imagery with who knows what. Also, every field you see was hand created on their land, so that a separate texture could be applied.

Bingo. Not everyone will be able to run this scenery. A decent graphics card is required.

Yea, it all works.

I'm not sure the game could support a map of that size unless it was 64-bit.

Blaze, you know full well that is not a step by step guide. haha In fact, it's not even sufficient for airfield creation and export. I am actually wanting a step by step guide for airfields as well. I have had many problems with getting them to actually export to game correctly.

Lol I know, but it's somethin'. :P And +1 to your request.

Might want to get that tutorial stickied, luckybob...

On my long list of things to do...

I understand Bob, my problem its how to create lines for taxiway,CrossRoadOnAirfield....and all part for airfield...:(thanks

 

Ditto, I feel like creation information is lacking. UserDefined information for different parts, how to define spawn points, etc...is naming important?? I was able to figure out priority and materials. Higher priority means it is shown on top in an overlay of items, and all "driveable" regions are Material=runway, Semantics=runway, while overlays (taxilines, dirt/oil overlays, markings, etc.) are Material=runway, Semantics=land.

 

I have tried to reuse parts from the airfield.max tutorial file, but selecting certain CrossRoadOnAirfield parts for .rn export causes max to crash, and none of my superficial objects are appearing in game when i export those parts via onlay_VPP.sup.

 

It seems I have to use release plugins for land export, while debug must be used for airport export, but lately I haven't had luck with airports showing up at all.

 

Another issue is making land LODs. The .doc tutorial is only suited for the case where you are exactly following the tutorial. I am doing it my own way and so I had to open the scripts and see what they do so that I could do those things manually. Unfortunately, I now have export issues with the LOD version. I get the following error.

And then there's assemblescenes which I haven't even touched yet. You mentioned that it must be used after exporting an airfield, but I had successful tests with the airfields a few weeks ago without using it, but now they won't show up. Is this the reason?

Ignore the tutorial for LOD's. I will make a tutorial soon that explains it. Those errors are a pain to fix but I have an easy way that doesnt cause those.

 

Assemble secenes is used to compile the runway data into the game so it knows where it is. You can still export the runway texture and have it show up, but without assemblescenes, the game will not know about it, as in cant have AI land or spawn there.
