kdk11 1 Posted September 17, 2013 Great work by da12thmonkey well done mate. How come the file size is 5mb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vade_101 0 Posted September 17, 2013 Great work by da12thmonkey well done mate. How come the file size is 5mb? Textures are about 1.5 MB each, and there three on the addon, and one spare texture with a Union Flag on it for special occasions :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted September 17, 2013 Tah for doing the things I couldn't be arsed with doing Vade. :D As Vade just mentioned, for anyone who's interested: There's also an option to display a large Union Flag on the cargo door, as appeared on Merlins during the Iraq war this setObjectTexture [1,"SDC_MerlinHC3\RAF_2_flag_co.paa"] The fact that the .pbo isn't binarized may have a bit of an effect on the file size but since it only contains a few .paa files (which are fairly large) and a config.cpp - I don't think there's a great deal of compression that would be done during binarisation. It'd probably also be a bit smaller if Vade used .7z or .rar compression. Seriously... who still uses plain old .zip format nowadays? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brainbug 10 Posted September 17, 2013 uh-oh, will you please go in the corner and be embarrassed^^ The chopper does look great, I'm pro anything that makes stuff more realistic. A pity one can't tamper with the model to add the anti-ship radar and other stuff of the Navy version, that "tigerstriped" thing looks damn cool: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Westland.eh101.merlin.fairford.arp.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
