    Why can't Combat Mission look and run as well as Wargame: European Escalation?

    To true, even after weeks of intense fighting with a wily opponent, going through the full spectrum of emotions, the agony, the ecstacy, the crazy pyrotechnics that come with the average CM game, it all comes crashing down when i'm reminded of badly rendered shadows....curse you BF for making me this way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Be sarcastic all you want. Is it too much to expect a feature that has been in since day one and has already been through one engine upgrade to work correctly? No.

    So is CMSF for MAC the big stuff that's been hinted at?

    It's classic BFC public relations: hint at an announcement, then go silent for so long that the only possible explanation is that the entire team died in a plane crash, and just when people start to drift away they give in and release a paragraph of info and two screenshots. Then Steve goes off on a least a few people, writing 6 paragraph long posts about how they are too busy to release more than a paragraph of information and how taking more than two screenshots just isn't in the budget. The inevitable grumbling about the lack of new features and "why didn't they include such and such" is quashed by the beta testers with an iron fist. People begin using ridiculous phrases like "our rights as customers" and "you should be happy with what you are given". Then, just when things look their bleakest (2-3 weeks later) they come back with a big release of information and screenshots and a video, to the joy of children and children at heart everywhere.

    Classic. You pretty much nailed the process :D.

    Hey Peter, tbh it hasn't progressed since the last screen I posted. Work has been killer lately, and I've been travelling as well. Things should lighten up in the next couple of weeks, and I'll be able to get back to it. As it stands, I'm 80% done with the CW stuff, and I will probably revisit some textures from my previous release. Don't know when I'll release it, but I can guarantee it will get done :).

    Rambler, have you thought about modding the M1919 and M1917? I don't think those have been modded yet by you.

    Yeah, I didn't do the 17 or the 19 in the last go around. I didn't really notice anything I wanted to mod on the textures back then. I might take a look at them again for this version since I'm seriously considering tweaking some of the US/German weapons I already did.

    Awesome job with the Jagdpanther, Fuser. Love that the weathering is a little more subtle. In regards to your query about the Priest weathering, I probably fall into the minority here. That's way too much for my taste. Personally, I would remove a couple dirt layers, but that's just my opinion. Keep up the great work. How you can churn these out so fast and not get burned out is beyond me :).

    Thanks everyone! Things are moving a little slower on these, but I'll get them done.

    @phil - Juju didn't use any of my skins in his UI mod. IIRC he used Marco's silhouettes. However, he did include a Vickers with the canvas jacket cover in his latest UI mod since I'll be doing a version with the canvas in this mod. But as Hister said, no worries with using this and his UI since they're totally different files :).
