Falcon 4.0 Nevada Theater
Background of Nevada
First we need to clear something up... ComGP is the Nevada Team leader,
not PMC. People might think that this is PMC theater because its available
here for download, this page exists etc... don't get confused. PMC IS
NOT DEVELOPING NEVADA THEATER, COMGP IS. Its true however that we have
put together the latest Nevada files including the texture.bin, tiles,
tiling, L2, objectives, campaign, TE template and map images. Click

ComGP made the original tiles but they were not CATE autotiling compatible,
also they were missing fartiles. Now new tileset is put together using
only basic three terrain types but there is roads, rivers and city tiles.
They look lame at the moment until ComGP steps in and fixes some of them
(mostly roads/rivers made by Snake Man). Whole terrain is tiled with CATE,
so usual minor errors can be found here and there, just as same as other
theaters like ODS, Vietnam, Europe and Afghanistan.
Nevada Training theater is very cool for that peace time training of
virtual viper pilots. You gotta be prepared to deployments in the world
like Korea, Balkans, Middle East, Europe, Vietnam or Afghanistan.

Textures
Uses totally new textures by ComGP, which look real nice. At the moment
there are also some lame fixes made for CATE compatible tile-set, so until
ComGP steps in and creates new tiles you have to bare with the lame looking
roads and especially rivers. The tiles are totally new, no Korean tiles
were used in Nevada.
Campaign
There are only one campaign at the moment, generic war between Blue
and Red forces. Its our believe that the campaign is just bonus and most
people will use Nevada Training grounds for TE missions. This version
however do not contain any TE's so you need to create them yourself. The
objectives in both Campaign and in Tactical Engagement have been linked
so ground unit movement should work OK.
Version and Download
Nevada v0.4 has been released, check it out from this topic in our forum.
