Title: ?'s about the terrain editor.
Post by: Downtown on August 07, 2000, 01:34:00 PM
1. Will I be able to lay out the airfield, or will I have to choose from the 3 generic types we have (Sm, Med, and Lg)

2. Will I be able to make Grass Strips? I wanna put some sattelite fields near some of the other fields.  

3. Will I be able to control what aircraft spawn from what field (At least Initially.)

4. Will I be able to turn Radar and Radio On and Off (Perhaps these are some CM issues, but I am think CBI.  Tigers with Radar (Sort of and Radios sort of, the Japanese without either)

5. Will I be able to turn on/off friendly collisons.

6. Will I beable to adjust the Anti-Aircraft and select weapons. (Tigers only had .30 cal for field defense, and I guess that they got to Ki-43s and a Ki-45 with em.)

7. Can you give us a guess at scale modifiers will we be able to do a 1:1 Ford Island or a 2:1 BOB?  (I am guessing 4:1 for CBI)

8. Static/Dummy Aircraft (The Chinese made P-40 Mockups of Bamboo? The Japanese strafed hundreds of these.) Probably the Tigers did too.

9. Will I get the P-40, Hurricane, Brewster Buffalo, and the Ki-43, Ki-45, G3M, and G4M for my CBI Terrain? (Need the Val and Kate for Pearl Harbor also, oh the F4F-3 also.  And the P-36.)

I don't think I am asking for too much, when will I get it?
