Coming soon, Falcon 4.0: Allied Force for Intel Mac ! Falcon 4.0: Allied Force for Macs with Intel processors is currently in beta test phase. Stay tuned for a release date.

Echo300

Oh. Cool.

Thanks.

Echo300

Ah.

A better way to phrase my question would be - Why does TLK viewer not work for Allied Force?

Echo300

Hehe. I knew I shouldn't have written it like that - WRT stands for With Regard To.

Echo300

Oh...

What did LP change WRT to "radio"?

Echo300

Now, here's what I did today. I spent alot of time googling Desert Shield/Desert Storm OOBs. I have a reasonable amount of info from wikipedia, fas.org, army.mil, globalsecurity.org, and maybe a few other places. The globalsecurity site gives a fair rundown of the Saudi OOB prior to Desert Shield, ...

There was a tool mentioned at Frugals a few weeks ago for opening the file (I don't even remember the name of the file) containing all the words that can be said over the "radio". I haven't been able to find this tool again. IIRC the tool incorporated the name of the file it was meant to edit into i...

I rather like Wings 3d: http://www.wings3d.com/ Simple; a bit like Sketchup.

Then there's Art of Illusion: http://www.artofillusion.org/ Definitely not too simple, but very powerful.

K-3d is nice, too. http://www.k-3d.org/wiki/Main_Page

Instead of adding individual trees, why not one very low poly forest? At its simplest it would just be a 60 ft high, mile long, mile wide rectangle. With a nice texture too, of course. It would only work in flat areas, but it's better than nothing. Has this been tried? Otherwise, I'll play around wi...

I can't answer your question, but I can help you out. This is the place for you: http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php

Echo300

Cool.

Oh yeah. Remind me to tell you about some of the things I've done to my install with faulty LODEditor work.

Echo300

Satellites!?? I didn't know Falcon modeled them...? I'd be interested to see your findings on how much they affect.

Echo300

Sorry... I have no idea.

Echo300

Not sure why I didn't find this the first time I searched: http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=45398 yup you can improve them and even make the higher res they are located in the *.apl files. Codec made a perl script for me months ago so I could un-apl them and put en back in apl. me...

Echo300

Awesome! Thanks, everybody.

Echo300

Interesting. How does it accomplish that? (BTW, what are you using to view the .apl's?)

Echo300

Great. Thanks.

In the thread ODS Bug List I see last post by Gusser with picture of ODS with clouds. I do not have them in ODS. I have them though in Balcans and Korea theaters. How can I make them for ODS? I don't know. Once I have ODS installed again, I'll see if I don't have cumulus clouds either. About Fogtil...

Echo300

Just selecting an ODS .cam in WeatherAF doesn't work? Maybe it has something to do with ODS being 128...?

Echo300

Aha! Thank you. I'll look into this some more. (I have no idea how I missed those .apl's... I know I looked in the misctex folder

) Not sure I know what you mean by Twaelti's weather and clouds?

Echo300

I play AF only. I don't have much modding experience at all. But I'm working on remedying that... :) Very cool. :) My advice to read the forums, try using the utilities (LODEditor, TacEdit, DEM2Terrain, etc.), read the forums some more, etc. That is the way I learned. Welcome to the wacky world of ...

Echo300

I don't think there's any chance of add-ons to Allied Force. (More than a chance that there will be another title in the Battlefield Operations series.) From what Ed has said at Frugals, I doubt there will be any patches forthcoming, either. Besides, this stuff is fun!

Echo300

If the cockpit.dat files are configured the same as the aircraft .dat files then the file isn't encrypted but is a binary file not a text file as in previous versions of Falcon. I've talked to Aeyes about this. He says: "Re the F4:AF datfile, it is a normal datfile but works only in Binary format. ...

Echo300

Derstef: I can help with research. I hesitate to put myself down for any actual playing around inside of Falcon's workings. I'm still just learning how to do all that. And I'm AF only.

Echo300

So I should post the info I find in one of those OOB topics? Thanks. I guess... the later, SP3 topic. If we open new OOB topic each time there is new Falcon 4 version/patch, we end up with dozens of topics ;) But indeed it becomes a bit fragmented like this, SP2 and SP3 OOB topics, both which conta...

Echo300

btw Snake Man , could you open a topic with a title like " Campaign OOB research and Theater Reference Stuff " for ervery theater here and make it a sticky? that should be place where all the Reference material should be shipped to, to get one pool of inforamtion, not a bit in every threat or topic...

Echo300

Please do!

Echo300

For the Desert Shield scenario, you'd need the OOB as it existed from 3 August 1990 (I think) until, say, 31 August. My understanding that after about a month the US mobilization had been sufficient to block Saddam from invading Kuwait. I don't remember if you're right or not, but I can find out ea...

Echo300

I can come up with a good deal of accurate, detailed information about Desert Shield, ORBATs, and US and probable Iraqi strategy for the 1990 hypothetical campaign. I also have info on Desert Storm ORBATS, strategies, targets, etc. Give me a little time (~ 1 week) and I'll collect it all together. ...

Echo300

I'm willing to help, I can give some time, and I have barely any skills or experience whatsoever. (So I can work on anything that needs it, right?

)

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm AF only.

Echo300

Does anyone know where the textures for the clouds are stored in AF? I'm most interested in the overcast clouds. Thanks.

Echo300

Oh hell. This is embarrassing. What I attempted to do was to use Seifer's cockpit editor and rename the .dat, being under the impression that AF had kept the same framework in the .dat file as the original Falcon. (I have no idea where I got that idea and it was a long shot, anyway.) Surprisingly, i...

Just checking in to say this: I'm going to be rather busy for the next week or so, but when that's over I'll be back here with a nice detailed tutorial. Hope nobody minds the wait.

I just threw this F-14D together really fast... but, using Sherlock's method, it only applies to F-14s - F-16s still have their F-16 cockpit. Still working on getting rid of that yellow hue. I also haven't really done anything as to moving MFDs around (I did remove the DED, as a demonstration.) Nor ...

Echo300

Sherlock-Having wordwrap on or off made no difference. Thanks, anyway. Snake Man-Thanks for the advice.

Echo300

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but when I open FALCON4.VCD in notepad, it doesn't look like it does in your notepad - the entries aren't so orderly, instead they're all a big jumble. Sorry I can't show you what I mean with a screen, I'm away from my Falcon computer. So can someone please expla...
