No problem, glad that I could help you.

Thank you. There is another "long delayed" update coming soon. I've been busy with the BASPM project, and so I've gotten far behind the power curve on this one. I've received more images from others in the form, and have got images that complete the US MSC and USCG ships, as well as a lot of US sub photos. Next, I'm going to start doing some write ups on the weapons and radar systems. Look for the image package in the next couple of weeks.

Hi CV60, Thank you very much for this fantastic package, you did an amazing job. First I had issues with displaying the pictures and description. The problem I had was that I extracted the package in the right folders, but my file extractor tool created a new DB3000 in the existing folder such as was the case with CWDB. Regards, Niels

Hi scottb613,
Is it already available for download?

I think Scott has posted these, but they will also be included in the master package that I'm putting together now.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - I've been sending my updates to both the CWDB and DB3000 dbase guys... I've been making almost daily updates adding new platforms... I need to figure out how to easily distribute... One thing that is different with my work - is I've included a program to remove all the old images and thumbnails for the records I'm updating... I'm no fan of the use of thumbnails the way they are implemented now as I think they just clutter the database display... All my records have a single image... If the database guys use my updates and just distribute them - that wouldn't clean up the end users database unless they delete all the old records and do a full clean load...

Last night I actually created a full blown installer (Click Team) that would be run as an addendum to any database updates... It makes things simpler and cleans up the images on the PC that it is being installed on - that might be a better way to go... Then I just need to have a place to host it as I don't want everyone hitting my Dropbox account...

Anyway - input most welcome...

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Scott! Now awaiting your installer's download instructions [;)]

Can we have a link please?

Hi...

I need to finish testing and actually find a home to host the file...

If you can tolerate a few pop-up adds at your download location, www.mediafire.com works quite well for the occasional upload/download hosting. It allows for up to 50 Gbyte free upload storage.

If you start your own thread here on this site. (To have control of the OP position), you can then handle updates. etc. by editing the link in the first post to contain a newer link to a newer update. This allows your followers to give you feedback in the same thread and whenever you make changes and redo the db update, you just post an announcement post in the body of your thread for everyone to go back to the first post of the thread for the new(er) update link.

This works great for a small time uploader.

Just a suggestion. [:)]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for he input - yeah - maybe I'll have to do that - I was hoping Warfaresim might have had the ability to host the file... I had tried sending a PM to Mike asking about it but the PM system seems to be giving me fits lately...

I spoke with CV-60 and while he will probably use some of my work - we have slightly different philosophies on our work... He is trying to find images for the exact years reflected in the database - where mine are more ballpark but the best quality I can find... For example - on an S-3 Viking - they supported the older white paint scheme and the newer grey paint scheme - I've included both and ballpark the transition dates... With the images I'm using are really just to give the user something to visualize while working with the NTDS symbology... CV-60's job is much harder - as if the database says 1979 - he wants an image from 1979... Both seem valid to me and it's left to personal preference...

Anyway - let me see what I can do... Been playing Doug's beta "Med Conflict" - which is right up my alley - and - I'm trying to get all the platforms in his scenario added to my package...

Regards,
Scott

I will be including scott's image package as an option with mine, to give player's the choice. When I can use his higher quality images, I have added them to my package. Otherwise, users can simply download mine, and his installer will be included that, if selected, will replace some of my lower quality images with his, albeit at a loss in accuracy for the displayed platform.

Hi CV-60,

Sounds good to me... Saves me the hassle of distribution... Thanks...

I'll send you a new link to my Dropbox directory as opposed to an individual file - that way you can always grab the latest revision at your leisure...

If desired - I could help you create the single file installer for your package as well - it's pretty easy and might help those less PC savy than others...

Regards,
Scott

Hi CV,

A scenario writer send me 30 images for platforms used in his CWDB scenario, how can I send you them?

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 10:42 pm**

Just PM me, with the images attached. I'm putting out an update later this weekend, so I'll make sure they are added to it.

Is this still the place to go for the latest/greatest? http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876

DB3000 Images May 26 2014
CWDB Images Mar 15 2014
Descriptions Dec 30 2013

(Note, this isn't criticism at all... I haven't downloaded them since January, so two of three are still newer than what I've got!)

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 8:01 am**

Yep. That's where the updates are. All the packages will receive updates very soon. Once BASPM is released, I'll have more time for Command. My plan is to spend a lot of time writing descriptions, so that part of the game will catch up with the image packs.
