Wrong photo #3042 RA-3B Skywarrior (CWDB)

The RA-3B has several cameras on the bottom of the fuselage. See Pic

Aircrafts #1669 and #1670 in DB3000 have wrong photos. Articles describe Tu-22M3 but photos are of Tu-22M2.

I like this idea! Gives the DB pics a more "professional" look! Can the whole pack be released like this?

Since its a volunteer and community operation, any one of you who thinks its important do it.

That's really cool ! I do not own Photoshop. Is the same possible with The Gimp ?

Hey chemkid, I can provide help for your image mod. Do I have to specify the country to avoid redundancy?

[Dysta]

Ahh. Well, nice effort anyway.

I love this modification!
I agree to having a uniform size and height to width ratio for the pictures.
At least the main ones.

Hi ! Any news on upcoming release ?

Thanks !
Have a nice day.

I do like the consistent look, chemkid!
Do you know what config file controls the image size shown in the database viewer?

I've tried to just reduce the image sizes to fit my preferred window (size) layout, but the Database window doesn't want to read or properly display my resized pictures. It keeps the old images somehow. I'm totally confused

[EDIT] I am currently running the steam version so my images for DB300 is located under:
"B:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command Modern Air Naval Operations\DB\Images"
If I resize all those images to maximum width 600 (keeping aspect ratio), they still don't show up as 600 pixel images, but the original size??

[BradOrbital]

Very nice touch.

@bromstarzan - sorry, but atm i haven't got the game installed... can't verify. [&:]
make sure you have the right path/directory/folder for your new/resized images, though.

Yeah, the path should be right. Don't have the images anywhere else.
And, if I remove them, they don't show up in the Database Viewer (logical and as it should be). If I resize them, they keep their original size.
I was looking for some cache location but can't find any under my user\documets\etc. Going nuts, I think [:D]
Anyhow, if you (or anybody else) have any tips on this issue, please let me know. I'd like to see a full picture over a pic cut in half, even if it's a bit smaller. We'll solve it eventually.

Thanks for reading,
cheers,
Broms

New versions of the image packs have been released!

For this release, the image packages have been split into 6 parts: Both the DB3000 and CWDB pakages will consist of 3 files, consisting of the primary images, the secondary images (the images with the _t_1, _t_2, t_3, etc suffix) and the line drawings. That way, users can download what they want, and make the individual download sizes a bit smaller.

Download here: http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876

Big thanks to CV60 and kgambit for their effort!

[BradOrbital]

Thanks Sunburn.

If people just wanted the images like before that were always in one download, which files would we choose? Only one and two or all three?

[CV60]

We broke up what was previously in one package into three packages due to comments that some users were having difficulty in downloading such a large file. If you want the equivalent of what was previously in the single download, you will have to download each package separately: the primary and secondary image packages, and finally the line drawing package for both the CWDB and DB3000 databases.

[BradOrbital]

Thanks CV60. Good idea on the divided files.
