Great stuff 👍

Earlier this week, the Internet Archive uploaded a few hundred CD-ROMs with press kits for computer games . I skimmed over it and found an interesting item in a related collection : A press kit that was produced by Infogrames in 1998 for the E3. It does, in fact, contain artwork for F-22 ADF, Red Se...

I left the 250 pictures that were uploaded 2007-2011 in Photobucket, but have downloaded a backup. Cool! I backed up your Photobucket in 2015, saving 231 pictures (remember, I don’t trust 3rd party sites). Gonna compress them and PM them to you once I find the time! I actually used to pay for a Pho...

I suppose I should do that again. I guess the pictures I directly uploaded to Combatsim are part of the forum database. Even worse: Any pictures wider than 1000 pixels have been scaled down to 1000 pixels. So if you had small text in those shots and haven’t saved the originals, it’s likely gone. Al...

Total Air War 2.0 is a total conversion of F-22 Total Air War (TAW) , and also includes the campaigns from F-22 Air Dominance Fighter (ADF) and the Red Sea Operations (RSO) expansion disc. The goal of TAW 2.0 is to provide a simulation experience that equals or surpasses your fond memories with the...

I wonder how that game compares in complexity to TFX1. It was released after TAW, and in direct comparison with our reverse engineered TAW code I’d say less vehicle simulation (the car simulation should fit on in 100 lines) a lot more collision detection code (obvious if you think about TAW not eve...

A while back, I was asked about being able to provide some of the modding utilities by MarkG; utilities which were instrumental in TAW 2.0. I got permission from Mark a while back, and I am pleased to say that I have found TAWTM on one of my cloud accounts. TAWTM Setup.exe A video demonstration I f...

Mainly I cannot find any "alive" place to download Mark Gonzales' TAW Texture Manager. Here you go! http://simforums.krishty.com/viewtopic.php?p=22#p22 Regarding textures, DKD is the absolute authority. There’s different formats (palettized, true-color, different resolutions) which are ti...

Going through old threads, I noticed that TFXplorer texture management has two shortcomings: It does not differentiate between the TM and the SPR directory. This is appearently caused by a byte in the shape header being 31 instead of 21 ; I need to link the exact source. It does not work with DKD’s ...

So, the TFXplorer repository didn’t have updates for a while. Here’s why. Aside from TAW stuff, my family, and my job (I’m left with only one this year), and my other / other other game modding stuff, I maintain a few programs from my time in previous jobs. These share huge parts of TFXplorer’s code...

Sounded like an exaggeration, but indeed! That’s awesome

Though as I see things have changed here too and I need your patient guidance and advice on where to begin my 2nd tour of duty with the best benefits and returns to beloved TAW, this community and myself. Well I’m disoriented myself. We now have two Discords as well as this forum. Only time will te...

Same here. I do use Discord regularly and it has its strengths (for gamers in particular), but when you do some obscure thing and need to get back to it two years later, you can forget about Discord with its endless stream of text. I did one reverse engineering project on Discord and I won’t ever do...

It was. Considering the dates – worries about SimHQ shutting the forum down in Oct 2008; Spear blocked in March 2009; TAW forum deleted in November 2009 – Cat was probably right when he said We attempted to get the readers to stop linking and stop posting about it. Some did. Some refused. So we had ...

Just found this thread from 2008: Will SimHQ BB come back online? Will the TAW topics be eliminated? Perhaps Hawx's dark and quite pessimistic prognostics […] may unfortunately become true and sad reality. why worry, Polak? they're not going to scrap our TAW forum. not as long as there are people ca...

I just installed phpBB Media Embed PlugIn, so any link to YouTube & Co. should automatically convert to an embedded video. Let’s try it:



Cool.
