City Textures rework

if using the gmax plane texture, you could try adding a more elevated plane that only displays at a further LOD . I am not certain it would work though.
 
Nothe fort looks excellent! I think that the inland water is good and as you say, put plenty of shipping in there to hide the transition. It's better portrayed than not imo. 👍
 
I spent a few hours working on this yesterday. I created gmax water planes to cover the entire water area and just a part, but using just the mos texture seemed to be the best option for various reasons. One was z-in fighting between the shoreline and gmax water plane texture at 11000 feet.

In the afternoon light the mos file texture match is as close as dammit, but not so much in the morning light. Unfortunately it has to be a match for one or the other. I will have to use shipping to cover the shoreline texture as best as I can.

There's still some texture work to be done on the fort Nothe jetty and an old pavilion building model to be reskinned and added to the harbour. The harbour mesh must also be adjusted. A bridge will be placed between the inland dynamic water and the mos file water as per google earth images.

Would be nice to add some working AA guns to the fort, maybe much later after I've done some research on how to achieve this.

Two methods Glen,
1. Add the guns to the Gmax model, the model then needs to be set up as a "vehicle" for the guns to work.
2. Create stand-alone gun models, again, set up as "vehicles" which are then added via the facility file. The guns have to be modelled at the height they would be mounted on the fort.

Any time-scale on releasing any of your work? I can't wait to see it. 😀
 
Wow! thanks for the info Clive.

I haven't really thought about a timescale, it just adds unnecessary pressure. I just add stuff as I go until UK placements are done.

Missions also have to be amended to work with the mod, with targets updated to work with the new harbours.

I agree with Daniel that option 2 seems to be the way to go, less messy, and can be used elsewhere as well.
