Gunny's 1st construction Battalion.

I do believe Ice is one of the few people here ethnically authorized to post that picture.

[Gunny]

Why Ice ain't got no beard-ba dum bum.
But anywho got an update for Project Kodiak that has turned into Project South East Alaska.
Btw all of the Aleutians are from Project Rowe by Patrickn I just added some things like VOR-DMEs ground objects and more ILSs and view points.
I changed the water color cause after the comment that it was to bright I agreed looked more like the tropics than Alaska it still is smooth flying with no screen vibs as yet.
Oh and heres a tip I stumble on if you are suffering from the disappearing poly and reference syndrome try this.
This is step by step.I got into back side view to see my ref to add elev grids to the scenery.Added the grid selected the corners to move nodes and accidentally picked top view instead of right view to my surprise everything showed up all the polys and the reference where there and they stayed there through the whole session thats how I got these SS.I haven't tried it again yet but it should be repeatable.

[Gunny]

Update slugging away at Merrill field and Elmandorf AFB after them comes Fairbanks maybe,maybe not depends on how much lag when these two are inserted into the master map.
Apologies to Danny for not using his Elmandorf.

Looking good...this map will be a beauty when it's done!

[vandal]

How many sq' miles is the map? Can we have a low poly version? I'de love to do something special with it, something that I'll share next time we link up on TS.

[Gunny]

Damn it seems like Merrill field is taking forever to complete but after that comes Elmandorf whew.
V I don't know I haven't calculated it yet but its alot.And as for low polys about the best I could do is delete all G/Os But the G/Os are post insertion to the master scenery elev.grids (Mountains not buildings)and also color but for your case colour ground variations.Basically un building the scenery thats alota un-work. .
Thank all of you for your kind remarks but I would also like to hear some constructive criticism if they are out there.

[CharleyHotel]

That airfield looks super real...great job; however, some outlying roads would be nice if not too lag inducing. If it's going to be part of a huge map, sometimes roads for reference can be really helpful when flying. Just my two cents of constructiveness.

[SvenPhantom]

That...airfield....it's.....it's.....Uh...Words fail me to express its awesomeness.

[Gunny]

Chunt your 2 cents have been upgraded to a nickle.There will be only 1 major highway linking the 3 fields on the mainland to try to keep the lag down altough I think I may be well past that point.
Sven thanks I guess that ill do just fine.

[Shutter]

Gunny this stuff is looking really great. Looking forward to it.

[Gunny]

I went flying around PAMR after inserting it into the master Kodiak and took some screenys to show it in action.



That is Flashes Brittan Shariff and yea I shot the Sheriff.
I am also gonna post some in unedited screenshots to but still not done with it yet.

[Turbofan]

Wow, good stuff Gunny. Great job on everything, especially ANC. One more airport for me to feast on... with aircraft i.e.

[Iceman]

This stuff is really awesome man.

[Gunny]

Update the triad. Elmendorf AFB,Merrill field,Stevens field PANC.
Making slow progress so damn many Bldg. elev.grids but I am trying to keep the lag down.Btw Vandel 2,666,654.506 Sq.miles calculated from bounding box +/- a couple thousand.

S.E. heading to PANC

North to south ELM.,PAMR,PANC.

An item for the scenery editors wish list auto save my fault really but an auto save would have helped whole after noons work down the crapper cause I failed to do a basic rule.SAVE OFTEN. @ myself.

[Gunny]

Heres some news for all us scenery editors.I just got an answer from Dr. Yamakawa today concerning the disappearing polygon and reference issue.
He is considering adding to the menu (invert all polygons) to fix this problem.Good news.

[Martin-Dutchie]

That is great news! I have never encountered it before, but it is awesome anyway

[Alpha Star]

The old fart still got umph in him!

(JOKING)

[vandal]

Gunny, I think you should back this up. Put it on mediafire or something like that to save it from computer crashes and house fires.
