European Air War - The Gen

I've been thinking about ships too. I mean how much difference would there be between a WWI and a WWII cargo ship? Maybe size or more smoke stacks, which would be an easy edit. Even some of the capital ship models might not take much editing. Heck we could turn the USS Long Island into the HMS Argus...

Yeah, no clue.

Would Jel respond to a question?

I know Jel made a file to set capital cities so this might be related.

What's in the file? You can usually read them with Notepad or in a hexeditor.

You really definitely do. I had an idea. My daughter is engaged to a retired navy chopper pilot. (Second marriage for both and two kids each). Right now he's still looking for a second career, probably as a civilian project manager at the Norfolk Naval Base (Largest in the world and about 15 minute...

One of these day I have to pull out my father's photos from on board the Fletcher class destroyer he served on for 18 months. His primary role was chief torpedoman but he spent a lot more time manning a 40mm AA battery. Some of his photos include kamikaze dives and Japanese men being rescued from th...

Blessings on whoever created the universal renamer utility. Makes recursive creation of the numbered folders and most of the contents fairly quick and easy. Creating the screenshots is taking the time, but worth the effort in the long run. I'm pretty sure that was done by Tony at my request. I neve...

Perfect!

Yep, that's it, Thanks.

I'm about 3/4 done with the FE2b and I get on this. Shouldn't take too long.

Ed, I need straight on pictures of the side and end of the hangars so I can cut and paste them into a graphics editor like Photoshop. From there I can build a skin to apply to the wireframe (What we call the 3dz file) Moggy, I was thinking about the various hangars in the extended TMOD list. There's...

I can handle that with an assist from Ed. Ed, see if you can find a side view and a head on shot of those hangars. Color if possible, but not mandatory. If you just post a link to them I can grab them and use them to do the skin. Moggy, I don't have a target editor set up at present so I don't have ...

Off topic but real quick, check out "The Fat Electrician's" podcasts on YOUTUBE.

He has informative yet hilarious takes on a lot of subjects, mostly military.

His podcast on the American invention of the radar AA shell is first rate.

You might be able to lift the EAW2015 airfields in their entirety and just delete the radio towers and maybe a few other TMOD's that don't fit time wise.

I imagine a number of them even have the same names, though probably more of the British ones than the German ones.

It would save a lot of time.

My two cents. I wouldn't worry too much about the finer details of smaller ground objects like vehicles. You can't really see a lot when you're on your attack run. In fact, if you are admiring the ground model there's a distinct possibility you're going to get shot down. Bigger models are a differen...

On my end I'm putting the finishing touches on the Vickers gun bus which will lead to the FE2b without too much effort. The Be2c should be too hard either, as I'll start with one of the German observation planes as a base. Those big German bombers OTOH. Ooof. :shock: Will your setup have any water t...

Yes there are some TMODs that would work from SPAW, but I think you're search would be more fruitful in EAW2015 since it's set in Europe. From memory in EAW2015: Trucks Horse drawn wagon Antique car. Supply, ammo and fuel dumps would probably look OK. Cannons, especially the one with spoked wheels. ...
