Please take a moment to check out some pics from 10Bears terrain of Luzon, he put in over 200 hours on this. These pics do not serve justice to the terrain in whole, as he has the following in the terrain:
~ added rice paddies
~ coral reefs
~ texture to the water
~Bridges!
~navigable rivers!!
~harbours
~ONLY 2.2 megs!
~Tank depots
~Industrial areas
~GREAT on Frame Rate
~battles are relatively close to one another
~its PACIFIC!
To access the terrain () you can click on the VMF-323 link below, there you will find the download for this beautiful terrain...I personally am still in shock how realistic the jungles look...it is unbelieveable!
I vote for this in SEA next month, lets DO THE PACIFIC!!![/i]

I downloaded Luzon but it seems to be missing files for it to work ?
-
Oh My God I've been waiting for this for 5 years. can't wait to download it and fly.
Salute 10bears and HTC.

Baddawg, I upzipped all the files (within the zipped file) into TERRAIN folder...works for me.
-
Wow! This terrain is unbelievable!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

WOW!!!! I'm at a loss for words. Stunned actually. This is beautiful! What a fantastic tool the community has in this terrain builder. And what a great bunch of folks who can create them!

I've only represented about 10% of his fantastic artwork in these screen shots, wait till you see the coral reefs, water textures and industrial centers...these "CORE" fellows from the Terrain team (Raxx, AKWabbit, Verm, 10bears, many more) deserve a BIG round of applause, they are forming the future within Aces high! I'm just beside myself this morning, for Aces High is going to be a long, and pleasant journey, my friends!

StSanta, go offline, select SET-UP, then TERRAIN, choose LUZON from the choices (after you've unzipped it into the TERRAIN folder of Aces High).

Between the new hellcat & TBF screenshots and the terrains people are working on, I'm more excited than ever about AH. Excellent work, 10bears.
And I agree, lets rotate the SEA arena between Med and Luzon terrains every few weeks.

Suggested Planeset for Luzon:
Japan:
A6M5B Zero
N1K2-J George
B26B (Betty Bomber-wannabe)
C47
All vehicles
Allied:
F4U-1D Corsair
P38L Lightening
All vehicles
C47
B26B Marauder
Could throw in a P47 and B17, spits, but this plane set above would be a nice balance.

Thats pretty neat. Ground textures are really good.
I was having 10fps on the deck though that changed with diffrent views (look left, look back etc..). Seemed like that was the case with Verm's too. Any idea why? I always have 40+ in the MA.
Also, on the water that goes up the mountains, I saw Wabbit islands I think and there was none of the blocky coastline. Version diffrence?

Nate, 10bears said there's a "Double bridge" but I forget where it is..he's out of town for a few days so I guess we'll have to recon the map...
-
Where is the bridge?
Takeoff at Angeles and head SE towards the city
He put 2 small airfields on the water tiles and deleted all objects except for the runways
looks nice (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Good job 10Bears
-
Thanks to anyone who had even the slightest involment in this, direct or indirect...
Truly superb!

Funny, on my low end machine I'm getting 27+ FPS just buzzing around.
BUGS:
1) Subic Bay airfield doesn't work right. The hangar button puts you on the north end of the runway, facing north. This gives you about 5 feet to takeoff or turn around. Hitting the north button kills you.
2) Show-off A/C at Angeles are killing my FR, as is the near-by city. BTW, that city fires on ANYONE!! Took off from Subic [after turning around] flew over it and was promptly shot down. Evidently it's a Rook or Knight city being defended by Bishops.
3) Large black border around the clipboard map. Could this be trimmed down?
I'll hunt around more and post any further bugs I find.
By the way... I GOT BLUE WATER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!

Keep the bug reports coming, when 10bears returns from out of town, I'm sure he'll appreciate it!
Get this puppy refined so its usable in large scale within the community..
Yes, all the Terrain folks get a big <S> for helping each other out!
-
It only crawled to 10fps in HTH, not offline. Maybe Im seeing things.
The aircraft on the ground are taxing on the fps which doesn't seem like it should. A 800mhz should handle little planes no?
-
Another BUG:
1) Bumpy runway at Subic Bay and Angeles.

Another bug - sorry if it's mentioned above and I've accidently skipped it. If you select 'knights' and fly any of their fields then the Bomber Hangar and at one field a Vehicle Hangar become ack and start angling themselves and shooting at the drones.

Keep up the excellent work, brilliant terrain!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Thx guys I'm really moved -sob-

Whoa! thats not a feather in my cap thats a full on headdress! The answer is YES!
One thing tho guys.
You don't need those htx files in the zip.

Oh... that explains why I was having a hard time transfering updates from the editor to the FE.. Glad I didn't know because I did the whole thing over again.. and it came out better.
Also, on the water that goes up the mountains, I saw Wabbit islands I think and there was none of the blocky coastline. Version diffrence?
River through the mountains was an afterthought.. I should've drawn a small black line where the river should go in Wab's Bit2map program you wouldn't see water climbing the sides
<wipes drool from chin>
man... can't wait to fly an F6F off a carrier in there!
<S!> 10Bears, GREAT work!
Thought of that.. then spaced it out. I was going to add 2 runways in middle of ocean.. use a hanger for conning tower. Ahhhh better to just wait for carriers
BUGS:
1) Subic Bay airfield doesn't work right. The hangar button puts you on the north end of the runway, facing north. This gives you about 5 feet to takeoff or turn around. Hitting the north button kills you.
The version in my AHeditor, all the fields work.. this happened last time when I tried to transfer to main FE.. don't know whats up w/ that
2) Show-off A/C at Angeles are killing my FR, as is the near-by city.
I think this is because the AC on the field are not in the objects list.. Computer has to do extra work to drum up these images..
BTW, that city fires on ANYONE!! Took off from Subic [after turning around] flew over it and was promptly shot down. Evidently it's a Rook or Knight city being defended by Bishops.
Let me explain Manila.. Its divided into three districts seperated by two bridges Bish in the middle All industral ie: oil barr, ammo rdr etc are located within either Manila or Naga Pili areas
3) Large black border around the clipboard map. Could this be trimmed down?
Ahh C'mon thats part of the art (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I'll hunt around more and post any further bugs I find.

10Bears, great work on the Luzon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
mebbe your idea of runway/hangar on water=CVA would
answer another threads (rockets?) request for carrier training field.
something to practice on till 1.05 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Looking forward to first combat-sortie in Luzon !!!

I want to about the beer bottle I found!
Had to be 100 ft tall. Shiner Beer! <G>
Not sure how to post a screen here, but I have one for documentation. 10Bear I salute
you and your beautifull creation! I had 3 Bishops chasing me through the clouds somewhere east of Haga. When I finaly got the chance to extend and slip away, I was shaking,with my heart pounding! Thank you!

He emailed me the latest version and my other post has a link to it.
All Users please delete the old versions and use this one instead.

Wonderful!!!
It must be SEA !

I suppose it would be too much to ask to have this for SEA 1 while Afrika Korp is going on in Verm's Med terrain huh.
Well a guy can dream can't he?
Very big hats off to 10bears. <S>
