Have you guys had enough Ki.61s?
« on: April 22, 2015, 06:30:34 PM »
I just wanted to see 200th_Taro's pure bare metal finish in Aces High's lighting.  Turns out the 56th Sentai had a suitable subject:









This one is just a rough cut, but I can work it up and submit if people want it. The 56th's tail emblem requires some finessing to get around the texture map's problem areas, but its workable.   This is a lot of skins, but I don't feel like I'm taking opportunity away from anybody; the Ki.61 hasn't seen any skins submitted for it in ages. Plus, the model could be updated at any time so all these skins will disappear at that time anyway.  But, between now and then, could there be a scenario or AvA setup where they would be useful??

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

Here's Seiichi Suzuki's Ki.61 from the 244th Sentai, 3rd Chutai:







I need reference images and profiles for this one, if anyone can find something, please post here or PM me. Thanks!

Nice one Oboe,  also cannot help you with the references, but can I ask how long it took for the clouds to generate on your map?

I think I saw small clouds relatively early, but had to search around different bases before I found them.  I left the game running and they generated into pretty big cloud systems.

Haven't tried flying directly into the clouds, but they sure add realism in the background I think...

Were you using same file data as Greebo posted?   I did have to go to a few different bases before I found them, but I'd think after an hour it would've been sufficient time...

Yes indeed. Then I put it into grinder as he described. I probably didn't get to the correct base.

The problem with using my CraterMA weather file for Grinder is that most of the clouds appear over open ocean on that terrain. You will find clouds over the central islands from a few minutes after the terrain loads and some near field A84 within 10-15 minutes.

When I get some time I'll make a more useful offline weather file and post it here.
