Just a few little things to tweak on it. Probably do the Brit clipped wing (and maybe another little surprise) as well...

Mr Jedi... here I was bogged down recording Combat11.wav for the sounds of 'Nations - Australia' (only 52 to go !) and I see this...

If for no other reason than this aircraft (and the CA-27 Sabre Mr Zur ) I think that 'Nations - Australia' might be finished very soon

hmmm...argh...Mr Werner...are you realy going away in a few days ? ... I might have some work for you ....

THAT is very, very cool.

Still to do: retexture weapons pylons (default Spit pylon textures are dorked up), finish skin (just a basic mod of an existing skin--it'll be up to you fanatics to do a high-quality skin), and upgrade damage modeling (to what level I haven't decided on yet--was going to look at the Spit IX DM, but the Spit IX won't open in OPS! D'oh! I'll take a look at the beta Mustang for some damage model ideas).

Since I kind of did this for the Aussie Nation release, do you guys want it included with the Aussie Nation, or released as beta when it's ready (which will be soon)?

Re Release date. Werner is coordinating the Nations release so I guess it's up to him (?)

But as a guess he's going to want to keep its size down as much as possible, so releasing the Spit early should not be a problem.

Besides you're going to want someone to test the beta aren't ya

But I wonder why the restorers of these fine machines (who have the right to do anything they want, of course!) paint the camouflaged planes in highest gloss? It always looks out of place to me ...

But anyways, it is great to see a small collection of warbirds in this country, but if only there were more.

I was working all weekend, and down the road 70 miles was the Ayr Air Show(Show ) and they had a Grumman Avenger there - with machine guns in turret!! And a nice Mustang in CAC colours - sob ...

Maybe in a few years they will be back

Things are coming along great .... sort of....

Production cycle of the sounds was going good until I tested them in SDOE ..... it seems there's some sort of 'cache' for the sounds in the game. When it's exceeded the game drops the least important ones (IE the voices) until it clears (a few minutes).

Wasn't sure about this at first but then I remembered something about it in the manual on the SDOE CD AND then I looked at the size of each .wav file .... they're between 400 and 600KB each ! (X 63 files is a shite load)

Soooo, what does this mean .... well recording will start again, but this time no (well not much ) back ground radio noise over the voices. This will reduce each file size a lot. A shame too because they sounded great!.

I do not anticipate this affecting our deadline. Will start packaging the other files up and sending them (to Werner) from Wed (Tues your time).

I am having fun though

Cheers,

WM.

P.S. If you'd like a couple of sample wavs from previous nations (for an idea of size) again pls email.

posted 08-20- 10:10 PM               

Yep, radio clicks are in ..... in stereo too

In fact that was going to be my little 'easter egg' for this package ..... The voices were going to be in 'stereo' ie. the voice out the left channel and the radio background hash/faint freq crossover voices on the right. They did sound realistic as they didn't have 'radio co-site filters' back then .....

But these are the reasons why the files are so large, so I'll have to review this process and see what I can/can't do in relation to the file size.

Yes a sample from the other nations project would be good.

Cheers,
