Modern Graphics Showcase

Me too! (the shallow bit and the updating the Dragon graphics - hence all these Russians and Chinese )

I must admit I'm far more energetic when replacing the graphics in other people's scenarios than when making my own from scratch. My current fad is modern scenarios - I've updated Nemo's Gulf war and APL's Crisis. BTW you should also check out the Gulf scenario - I'd always overlooked it in favour of his later stuff, but it's actually pretty good.

so, what all are you planning on upgrading?

[fairline]

If you mean the Raging Dragon units, well, most of them really. The Russian and US planes were the main thing - as you can see I only did minor tweaks to your APCs. I've done some new infantry as well. I don't plan to touch the Chinese planes, and I've used some of Case's later ship graphics to replace the ones in the scenario file.

[Jimmywax]

Yep, that's what I meant. I was a little curious about the Gulf War too though, but I think everything is out there already for it. Also, I was thinking of tweaking some of the Chinese planes. After looking around the other night, I see that the dimensions for both my J-8 and Case's Q-5 fantan are off. I think I may tweak them a bit.

P.S. What do you think of the Type-88 graphic. And here is a cool site if you haven't seen it! Oh and are there plans to upgrade my YW 531?

[fairline]

Yes, I've got that site (its what I used for the type 85 graphic) and it is very cool

Here's a couple for you:

and some good sites with isometric models to copy planes from:

BTW I don't see your pic of the Type 88 - did you post it?
How about we do a joint Dragon upgrade - Case seems to be cool with a new version being posted.

[Case]

Fairline, those Russian planes are perfect!

Jimmy & EZ, as Fairline said I've got no problem whatsoever with you tweaking any aspect of my scenarios and releasing the results.

That is definitely an intrigueing offer. The only problem is that I might not be able to live up to my half of the bargain. I may be changing jobs in a couple of weeks and I might be away for weeks at a time. I hate to leave but this other job pays twice what I am making now.

P.S. Tecumseh's Congo would be a good one to upgrade too.

[Jimmywax]

Here are some of the tweaks I have done for Raging Dragon. I have only done a couple of units so far. The F/A 18 is only in there because I thought the wing looked funny. I think it is an improvement. You guys tell me if it looks better.

P.S. I would like to add that the H-6 is a modified version of Curt Sibling's M-4 which is a modified version of my own M-4. Tha Arjun was based on one of Scott Fluhr's Leopards. I only did minor modifications to the other two jets.

[fairline]

Excellent! the Arjun is very nice. I think you're right about the Hornet as well - looks good.

BTW you're PM in-box is full

[typhoon]

You know what, I think we really need an Apache...

[Paul Hanson]

I did a Viggen a while back, using Andrew Living's Mirage III as a base. It should be somewhere on this thread or the the WW2-1979 thread.

[Miko]

Ah, cool. Thanks.

I will do, Henrik.

@Kobra / Eivind IV: I thought you were a paid-up member of the 'Anti-Nemo Graphics Association' over at CivFan. Surely you can't be interested in isometric units....
