Re: Wanted : F-4N phantom II pic

Upon further investigation of the site, a much easier way to find what you want is via their decal search engine: http://www.eaglestrikeproductions.com/cgi-bin/amd2.pl
(most stuff seems to be for 48th scale)

BTW - Boy you're fast, just saw the F-4N in the #D toys thread!!

Aeyes,
I see it's been removed from Falconuk and F4community as well (if it ever was posted there). [Haven't been able to get into flight-sim.com last couple of days - glad it's sorted].

Re: Land Usage map

First, I must admit I've never used CATE, or created a theater (other than helping HAND tile Balkans), but my understanding is that CATE will take a colour-coded bitmap of a theater and use it as a key to automatically placing the proper tiles - correct?

It shouldn't. If they did the AI would use them the same as any conventional weapon. Besides, the AI don't know how to deliver them properly.

Re: Small Panama Working (sorta)

Rather than having a 32x32 theater, couldn't you increase the tile resolution so it's 64x64 (but covering the same area)?
Isn't this technique used in Iceland?

[of course it might require re-tiling (with CATE?), tho]
