Ok - after reading the problems here ...will somebody make this an auto -install & let me know when it can sfely be installed---looks beautiful,but not worth screwing up all the other things it appears to do....!

It doesn't screw up anything mate. Just paste textures into correct folder and get the file names right on the load.ini. If you make a copy of any original load.ini you can't go wrong!

Got them working just fine here compans, thanks again!! This could help with map makers I bet, a lot less work in designing cities, but not real sure on that,lol

Here is 2 shots I took flying over London on Canon's beta map, and as you an see, the 3D impression from these new diles, really stands out. They would have to be realigned a bit (and as you can see, it looks like the lowland textures are bleeding through in some parts) but its just amazing how better it looks! Still think it would help the map makers, :lol:

[reflected]

Could someone please create .tree files for the fields? It would be paradise!
However, without them I still use the other sow fields with trees even though Compans' field look much better. I think it would be really needed to complete this mod. Thank you!

although some airfields in france seem to vanish under the new textures a small sacrafice :evil:

[Trooper117]

Got this up and running.. superb stuff!
Ref the airfield issue..It's not just on the French side.. Look at the English airfields, they have textures overlapping into airfield bounderies/and taxiways/dispersal areas etc.. but as stated.. small sacrifice!

[creamy]

very true but flying at over 300mph i dont have a care in the world it would seem i get shot down more often maybe because im looking at the ground all the time :lol:

For those who have the other SOW fields installed as well, here's a "Combo" for Cannon's beta channel map:

[FIELDS]
LowLand0 = land/summer/bob_fields_1.tga,2
LowLand1 = land/summer/Compans_BoB_fields_2.tga,-2
LowLand2 = land/summer/Compans_BoB_fields_2.tga,-1
LowLand3 = land/summer/Compans_mountain_fields_3.tga,-1

MidLand0 = land/summer/Compans_BoB_fields_2.tga
MidLand1 = land/summer/bob_fields_1.tga
MidLand2 = land/summer/Compans_BoB_fields_2.tga
MidLand3 = land/summer/bob_fields_1.tga

Mount3 = land/summer/Compans_mountain_fields_2.tga

Country0 = land/summer/Compans_Marsh.tga
Country1 = land/summer/whitechalk.tga,2
Country2 = land/summer/Compans_Marsh.tga
Country3 = water/rom_fields_Beach.tga,2

AirField0= land/summer/Compans_airfield1.tga
AirField1= land/summer/Compans_airfield1.tga
AirField2= land/summer/Compans_airfield1.tga
AirField3= land/summer/Compans_airfield1.tga

Wood0 = forest/summer/rom_forrestground.tga
Wood1 =
Wood2 = forest/summer/rom_ForrestFar.tga
Wood3 =

Water0 = water/water.tga
Water1 = land/summer/Compans_coastal1.tga


Water2 = land/summer/Compans_coastal1.tga
Water3 = water/rom_fields_Beach.tga,2

NOTE, I modified Compans' bob fields textures a bit: a tad less saturation, lower brightness, but it's jsut for my taste, I think they'll fit nicely without any modification.

Thank you Compans. These textures are a big improvement. The landscape appears to be much more realistic.

Don't forget that the beta wasn't made with Compans' textures, so the map isn't optimised for them.

The final release was made using Compan's textures from the start so there are no such issues.

[Compans]

Good to see you Joe!

Please remember that these textures were designed to be painted in so there are definite discrepencies when just writing in the ini. file. The cities work best when painting them in. The city files should work fine with no blurring in between tiles.

no complaints from me as this has given me a taste of what is to come!!!

[Rowddy]
