Please report install problems ...... and have FUN :wink:

For those who allready have Okinawa repainted V1 you will notice you allready have a "redko_tex" file somewhere in _Tex/land/summer.....it's a mistake and will be fixed for Okinawa V2. Don't touch it there will be no problem for the moment as the load.ini file take it in charge. BUT for Iwo Jima i used the correct path, so put your new "redko_tex file" exactly as indicated on readmefile, in _Tex folder. this is the proper path !


TEST MISSION :

Ok as requested by some people here now you have a link for the "test mission" you see on my pics. This was created in order to show a quick reconstitution of th battle of Iwo Jima...quick is the important word : there is just the navy shooting, landing ships approaching, japanese AAA defending. Take this as an hollywood production and NOT as an real mission.

Good PC needed people !!! Only far ships are shooting but it gives the feeling that the whole fleet is doing so....of course the pc able to make it work with a real entire fleet shooting doesn't exist now .

The good point is that you have a MASSIVE fleet....and that's just crazy to fly over it !!!!!. So feel free to improve all this....we are waiting for Jaypack skins

Hi

As I have little problems to retexturing some maps with big actor static (i'm learning how to do that...) i retake some other projects with smaller maps.


This is still under way....it's really really far away even from a "beta" version.... :roll: This is a little island with a great and tragical history... but so hard to find the good textures, the good level of resolution for a so small place, the good colours. If there is a maps here you don't have the right to fail, it is this one. So many people killed.

Can't understand why the stock map was so bad. I will try and i was dreaming for a while to do something for this map but i'm really not shure i will have a good result. :roll: :roll: . So anyway who never try never succed.

This is how it looks today:




First pics. It's not what people imagine when asked about Iwo Jima as everybody imagine it as a dark grey world.










Hummm........it doesn't work right ?? :???: :roll: What represent this map for you guys, how would you like to see it ? I'm gonna rewatch Letters from Iwo Jimo maybe it can help me.
