Glad you like the look of them. They are good for d/l and link is given in the other thread.

I was also hoping that maybe some online Gunship! can be as a result of GSTOS mod. Which in fact is great and due credit obviously has to go to fng2k and other guys who created it.

After I did that mod I browsed simwarrior.com to find many new programs and tools to further mod this helo sim. And perhaps I gladly would, but where is everybody ... \:\)

Hi again folks-

Wow! Polak, Avimimus, Da Nockeister! All the usual suspects! \:D Great to see you guys.

Polak, that terrain is nifty. I had tried converting your SF tiles o GS a while ago, but had probs with the palette and didn't pursue it. Yours looks alot better.

The city tiles kinda puzzled me. The scale difference is more obvious in your tiles, but I couldn't figure out why. Maybe the bigger puzzle is why the city tiles in the original SF:P1 tiles I used (Deuces version), seemed to look just right in GS, even though the scale is drastically different. Were the SF tiles even scaled correctly for SF? Weird...

Been flying a little in GSTOS recently. Actually forgotten how good most of it looks, especially with your new Cobra and UN Hip skins, Polak. Brilliant work. I dropped PSYKLIK a note to see if he had any GSTOS stuff he wanted to release, too, but I haven't heard back yet.

This GSTOS beta should work OK in MP if anyone gets to try it. Just make sure everyone uses the same version and not vanilla GS.

Updated my website a little. Unfortunately my little bit of leisure time is about over, but I will try to keep an eye on things...

be well, guys-

fng

Hi fng2k,
I also was flying a little GSTOS in both versions of the tiles and found it very nice. As far as scale is concerned since my tile looks out of scale in Gunship 600 m/tile because perhaps it was scaled properly for SF:P1 -2000 m /tile.

I have mentioned that concern already in my thread (somwhere there), but then "bravely" returned noneless and completed the task. I was also trying to mess with object placing on city tile, but that 32 limit is a boomer \:\( .

It was real pleasure and privilege to chat with you and others on this forum, but clearly I see that GS belongs now to the history. So much went into researching content of that sim and your and Psyklik's ..and WB's research are prime and proud examples of that. All others not mentioned too. You personally are responsible for injecting me with this "virus" of "must know how it was made" - I moved from place to place, but it was (and still is) hell of a fun.

Let me know if anything is worth to pursuit. I am around.
For now, thanks again and ...

I agree Polak- GS has been a great project over the years. I learned an incredible amount of useful stuff from other modders like you, while taking years off my life doing all niters. \:D

I'm not sure GS is dead an buried yet. Some skilled folks are still doing neat stuff...

Just a bump. It looks like somewhere on the far side of 200 folks downloaded this beta, which is very cool. Hope people are having fun with it...
