Pimpage

A Bit of self pimpage going on, put our first article up on SimHQ, you can read it Here
This is the first in a little mini series about the ongoing project that is Air Ace.
I was going to take some new shots for this post, but had some technical issues (alpha sorting is still borked) so I will wait until we solve some more of these issues.
The game is moving along well though. Thomas has been hard at work with the game types and I've been working on the AI and planes.

I'm with C2, if you post the lens flare up as a TSE resource, we won't have to keep bugging you all about it ;)

That shot is from the TGE version before we switched to TSE. In the TSE build we are going to have a more refined tone mapping glare system (as opposed to the pretty nuts bloom/sepia stuff we have now).
I dont mind digging up the TGE code for you guys if that will help.

I know of the sun flare resource for TGE, however it has its flaws, like not showing up over the network. I haven't been able to convert it to TSE yet, though. It also doesn't fade depending on how centered it is on the screen, or goes overbright when you look directly at the sun. Nabbing the code would be wonderful, Phil. :)

Don't feel bad about pimping yourself - everyone has to do it from time to time. Pimping makes the world go round.
