Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004
I've uploaded a 1.05 GB zip to your folder. This contains 1.6 versions of all three of my Asia-Pacific theatres including CAW, Midway and China. I've kept this bundle together because the version of 1.6 is not the most up to date, and the theatres are essentially quick conversions from 1.29 - they u...

Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004
I'm going to be pretty well wholly immersed in the Italy/Balkans/Ukraine world for a while yet. However, I can send you over the most complete setup I have for CAW, and you can see what you make of it.

Re: Moggy's Log March 2024
I scaled right down to what seemed appropriate for a hand grenade but I didn't get any blast effect graphic on impact.
As to kitchen sinks, I did once throw out the cathedral model from a Wellington.

Moggy's Log March 2024
Mostly this month, I have still been working on the Polish scenario in the Italy/Balkans/Ukraine Theatre. And mostly on this plane, which was the most widely produced aircraft in Poland in the 1930s, and still equipped the Polish airforce recce/utility role on the outbreak of war in September 1939: ...

Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004
In the years after 2004, we worked up the base/carrier and town layout (airfields/target.dat) and did some prelim work on individual area layout (tardata.dat). We also had a prelim aircraft set and screens. For finishing it need a proper tardata layout, and sorting out the carrier/ship mods. And a n...

I'll get straight to that
