In the meanwhile I managed to create more desert-style villages and towns just like McGuba sugested.



In the end the scenario will have less turns than I anticipated, around 30. Which I think it is just perfect, not too short, not too long. Also the final size has been tuned down a little bit.
We are performing the final tests with Estherr for multiplayer, and my tests against the AI went pretty well
All is set, in a few days the Persian Gulf '91 scenario will be out on the streets, along with a lot of improvements to the base mod.

Best regards,
Akkula.

McGuba wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:37 am Maybe one more thing to consider: although I really like just about all those modern fighter planes I think it would be better to tone down those AA missles a bit. I mean they just look too bright, too white. I understand that you may want to emphasise the difference between their air-air / air-ground modes but I think these bright white missles stand out too much. While the aircraft models themselves look really cool and photo realistic those missles somehow ruin the overall feel and turn them a bit cartoon or hand-drawn like, if you know what I mean.

For example here I reduced the contrast of the AA missles of the Mig-29 in the bottom of the picure by 20 with GIMP:

I think they look more natural compared to the missles of the other NATO planes above it.

Just my two cents and it may not be perfect and I may be totally wrong.

I confirm the release of 1.4 THIS week. At the moment we are running the last test with Estherr and just few details needed to be adjusted, so worst case scenario should be Friday


Best regards,

A remark, you did not equip the French contingent with artillery.
The 11th RAMa (11th Marine Artillery Regiment) is the organic regiment of the 9th Marine Infantry Brigade for which it is responsible for fire support.
Composed of about 900 men, it is equipped with Caesar cannons and 120 mm mortars.

Best regards
