Team Fusion Update - July 31st 2016 - The New Map/Theatre

[Mysticpuma]

So today's the day. However this update is going to be a little different. I am not actually going to talk at-all in-depth about the new theatre, no details, no waffling, just a link to this video which shows the new map in it's very, very early stages of texturing and populating.
In terms of the map itself, we now have the physical map approx 90% complete. By that I mean we need to add updated textures, towns, roads, features, lots to do actually but the base of the map is complete and here it is:



Feel free to discuss what you have seen in this thread, share it far and wide, spread the word but at-last you are able to see the theatre we have been working on for far too long in secret. Now that it's out in the open, it will be possible to show you new features, models, textures, buildings in future updates that have stayed under wraps until the Team decided it was time to reveal the news.


Hoping this will be a very well read update I would like to make an appeal to our community for help with 3D modelling. Sadly you do need to have experience in this as we aren't able to train anyone, we, like you are just members of the community who have volunteered their time.

To see more details about what is required and offer your help please read this thread. There is still much to do and many objects to create (not everything is aircraft!) so if you have experience of 3D modelling please read this thread and see if you can help:

http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...ad.php?t=11129

Also, I have been asked to see if any of our community are knowledgeable in regards to coding with C/C+/C++/C# , again we need volunteers to help as we have some features that could do with this skill. If you have a detailed knowledge of coding with these languages please send me an email detailing your ability to:

teamfusion2013@hotmail.com

To help us progress and move forward much quicker, any email replies to the above requests (withing the skillset requested) will be taken very seriously.

Okay and so to a few other bits and pieces.

Here are a few images showing progress in some of the models heading your way in v5.00

Now, I can imagine looking at the images the Luftwaffe fans will be feeling a little left out. Can I just say that the guys working on the 109F2/F4, 110-C6 and 108 have unfortunately been tied up with their real-life jobs and so I haven't been sent any new images to showcase. The work does continue but they feel that until they have something significant to showcase they would rather not offer anything for a Friday update....yet!

Hopefully for now that will be enough to go with and certainly spark some interest in the community.

Please share the news. We only do this for a hobby and really want to make it a success. Hopefully now that you can see we are able to create new maps and theatres, you'll see that we really are looking to expand in the future and welcome contact from any other modding groups who may be interested in helping

Okay, until next time, cheers, MP/TF

Thankyou to everyone in the sim-community for keeping the faith. Your enthusiasm is what keeps us going.

[Screamadelica]

Awesome! Great work. Looking forward to the day TF 5 comes out! Thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work in keeping the dream alive.

[Ekko]

Thank you Team Fusion
Thank you Pumaimages.jpg

[IIJG27Rich]

It's exactly what I hoped it would have been. I love how the desert terrain is not only sand but full of rocks and weeds

Now the torture til the release

[Cybermat47]

Awesome! The great grandfather was at Tobruk - he was wounded, and while being evacuated, his hospital ship was blown in half by a Stuka, but he survived. Guess it takes more than that to kill a veteran of the Somme.

[DUI]

Tobruk it is!

Thanks a lot for your incredible effort so far and for the things to come!

[DerDa]

This looks fantastic!
Thank you very much!

[dburne]

Fantastic guys looking awesome!
Are those new gun sounds I am hearing? Sounds very good!

Congrats on the new map reveal, and thanks for all the work you guys put into this for us and for keeping the dream alive!

[Mysticpuma]

F
Are those new gun sounds I am hearing? Sounds very good!

Stock 4.312 sounds....but you don't hear a Cannon on the RAF aircraft.....unless it's the Beaufighter in action....which I have the luxury of playing around in thanks to our great team

[HurricaneHarvest]

Spain is looking very Arid .. and flat, please fix.

plus I don't think spits were in the Civil war.

Looking great.

[ATAG_Septic]

Brilliant work chaps!

Of all the goodies in the video I was most struck by how good the terrain looks, already!

Many thanks for keeping the dream alive.

Septic.

[Atreides]

This looks very promising. ALmost all the major towns on the new map have seen major battles. This will certainly spice things up after having flown around the English Channel in ClOD for longer than the actual war itself.
Thanks for the update

[Swoop]

Wow, thanks lads

Taking it all in...mirrors working and what an explosion!

Is the Marlet for here I wonder?

[ATAG_Flare]

Step 1: press like

Step 2: watch video.

Awesome video and everything TF! Those desert Spitfires look so pretty! Those hispanos sound powerful and look like beasts too! This is awesome!

Excuse me while I go watch the video constantly until it's actually released.

In a word...brilliant. Waiting patiently

[=FI=Murph]

Looks amazing! Is the last strafing shot from the cockpit of a Beaufighter?

[Mysticpuma]

Be brave Kameraden!



They have destroyed our schnapps, but not our honor!

[ATAG_Lewis]

Thanks Teamfusion for all your hard work...If I could only keep one game/sim CLOD would be it...Thank you for all your input and keeping my dream alive...I salute you...

Looks amazing!!!will there be tomahawks?

[RAF74_Buzzsaw]

Looks amazing!!!will there be tomahawks?

At this point the chance of Tomahawks, (P-40B/C) are very low.

But if there is an opportunity and a modeler, we will push as hard as we can.

[VII.Racetrack]

Ouch this is sad, very sad...

Great Update! The map looks killing. The above came as a surprise to me tough. Didn't we see screenshots of an almost finished external model of a P40 already? Did the modeler for the P40 leave the team?
