Guys, this was a very early mod, which is well past it's best by date.

The smoke trails, still look good, but the vapor trails are just strips, which don't look good, as all we did was lengthen the original texture. They don't refresh quickly enough, and the strips don't merge into a proper trail.

Just to remind you how bad they look. smile

Hi Allen.

Old Dog and New Tricks I suppose?

I only have time for one EAW hobby, so I stick with what I know best.

Coding would be a nice hobby to learn, but I would be starting from Zero, and I'm busy most of the time.

I did try and upgrade the sprite graphics, to render a set of 8 single graphics, instead of 1 set, on one 256x256 textures. But, although I got the first graphic to show, in game, I could not get the animation to work.

That was my last attempt, some 6 years ago, and nobody wanted to help me at the time, so I gave up. Since then, I've lost my code, and other than 3dz Studio, I've not touched any code.

To my eye, the planes look generally very good, and we have nice terrains, etc, but it's the little things that are looking tired. The airfield runway models, and sprites, are the worst part of the game, which have been forgotten as was, in the main.
