Tres biens, sehr Gut, very nice, utmärkt, great in any lingo you want!!!

Looks great, thanks a lot!

More awesome work from vpmedia! Would be great to have some improved vegetation incorporated into this, especially those damn palm trees!

there are no palm trees on the eastern front

seriously, check out AAA, there are lots of different trees available, I'm satisfied with the forrest=3 setting and dont have any intention to change this aspect of the game

In the past year did an almost full conversion already for skins, maps, pilot skins, buildings...I think this is the point where I stop soon

but before that say hello to IVT, not very good but beats the defaults

Looks great.

Looking very good sir! Thanks a lot for your tireless efforts and for sharing them with us. S!

Ahhh, an artist!

Thanks Istvan!

Will this work with the HSFX?

looks great...

Yes, just drop it in your Mods folder.

These are perfect vp. Thank you so much! These will really make a big difference to overall play, just like your default mapmods. The latter is one of the best mods we have I think.

Thanks a lot! This is still in the beta stage, some of the russian city buildings need a bit more work I think.

yes, I didnt tested it but it should work since its just a simple texture replacement

I did a bit of work on the forrest=3 trees yesterday (fixed the horrible shadow of the winter trees and new trees for the pto, release soon) but the palms are 3d objects. What would you like me to do with them?

If you decide to visit them, their hit on FPS is annoying, but it is really the colors that are terrible. The trunks should be more of a pale gray or brown-gray. The leaves should be a darker green, with lighter green-yellow highlights. Generally, they should blend in a lot more!

Says you have to be a premium user.

refresh the page, too many users at rapidshare

I'll keep trying. Thanks.

VP - do these go into MODS or MODS/STD? The path in the readme seems to be incomplete as there is a / after MODS. I tried it in Mods and it didn't work, so now am about to try in MODS/STD.
