@EliteIndustries1 Well, I do need to smooth the terrain itself, since it is too polygonal. But as far as the giant shapes; they are in fact quite intentional and may be much more difficult to find in a subsequent map! :D
You can fly inside! (Theoretically; I'll edit this when I have!) :D
@EliteIndustries1 So you can fly in the 150 ft between it and the water, silly! :D
Also that bit of terrain is a proof-of-concept. If you can find the way inside, maybe you can fly among a few stalactites!... I was also working on waterfalls! xP
@Ctracerx2 Not yet! Though I just happen to be posting some more screen shots on the newest posted mod, and your Cessna is on it! (I'll credit you in Le Details)
For some reason recently when I've tried to edit C# in Visual Studio, it seems to pull up a blank file... I'm tinkering with another mod at the moment, but I shall dig into the skybox dilemma later this eve. I think I must just need a script called up to switch from the default to the alternate skybox. I'm not too strong in the whole throwin'-code thing yet, but we'll see what happens! Thank you again for the help!
If you are just looking for some interesting terrain textures; there are lots of free assets in the asset store in Unity. Just click the free tab to sort.
@septicfoot I'm not really sure... it seems to switch between jazz, reggae, dub, and has a nice horn section as well. There is a bit of eastern european halfway through. Interesting stuff; my first listen...
@septicfoot No Problem :D And my maps have come a long way. I need to re-release all of the originals with the improved texturing methods I've worked out.. (Thank you for the wonderful comment though!)
@Jasperjl You know it's working right when the blue bar you see on your screen shot in the lower right (right above the time), Where it says (7/11 Light Transport | 31 Jobs). You WON'T see that bar working once you've found the right box to UNcheck.
@Jasperjl I wasn't saying change to imported; I was saying to UNcheck AUTO under the [Lighting] window (different than using the inspector for lights...)
Click {Window} in the file bar, scroll down and find {Lighting}. Scroll down under the lighting tab, and you will see a check box marked auto. Let me know if you are still confused; it's kinda difficult to explain; I can find a youtube vid.
@Flash0of0green Definitely! I think the resource management part makes the design part more interesting! Some of the versions of mods I've been working on feature a very long distance between islands. I often will play "strict", and only let myself "restart here" if I have landed at a place that could resupply fuel.
The fun part is playing bush plane style. You can land anywhere, but you have to pre-dictate the fuel drop-offs. It could be something as simple as a set of fuel barrels on the tundra...
@poenix My Porpupine Island Mod is a bit like that with the AA, but it is quite difficult to make a cave in Unity; though it can be done.
The problem is that the terrains are not visible from underneath, so you have to use polygons and voxels. You can however attach these voxels to "holes" in the terrain (Yes, you can make holes in the terrain but it is $, and is for Unity 4.6.0 and higher; while we use 3.6.1 mostly)
I've had the same problems on one of my unreleased maps with a multitude of flying islands.
@BirdOfSteel
If you you copy your project folder and put it in google drives and send the link, I should be able to make it work. And do you mean you can't save it, or it won't build properly? What are you receiving for warning messages?
Really the simplest way for building a cave would be to cap it with a long cube, and lay another terrain upon the top face of the extruded cube (rectangle). If you wanted stalagtites, you could put another terrain on the bottom and have it all max height, and use the brush to paint the stalagtites lower...
@Jasperjl It's funny how when you are starting with something new, even the little stuff can be tricky! I've been trying to have different things load at different places using the on-trigger command; and teaching myself a bit of C# has been a whole other challenge!
@Joco80 Sure, I'll have the other one you sent done probably tomorrow sometime. Feel free to upload more, and I can get them downloading if they are large.
Evidently a racetrack in a manga called initialD, it is supposedly based off of an actual road in Japan. (Jomo-Sanzan Panorama Highway, somewhere around Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan) I found a drawing of the route, but it doesn't show the topography.

Whelp, I suppose we'll let the initialD fans figure it out. Thanks for the reply! @Ctracerx2
@Ctracerx2 :D I would like to learn MicroPython as well, for playing with the ESP8266's; Big Fun!
@JSwannyGaming148 Which part is messed up? You shouldn't have to redo everything...
Landed on water, took off again! Nice build! (The wheels do still poke out a bit upon raising BTW.)

@AudioDud3 :D
@AudioDud3 Thanks!
@GermanAircrafts Thanks Mike!
@septicfoot
Oh yeah, it is huge-chungeous! I'll be making another smaller, more mobile appropriate map, soon!
Use your Air to Ground Radar to find the hidden islands!
@Jasperjl No Problem!
@Jasperjl Yaaay!
@saturn28 Thank you!
@Kerbango Certainly!
@Kerbango RIght up there with:
Gogol Bordello - Underdog World Strike
@Kerbango And the deep profundity of the lyrics!
@Kerbango Waiting for my Ruca is what I used to test folks' stereo installs with back in the day!
@Kerbango Pretty great, huh? Check this out: It tells a full story!
Wookiefoot - Activate
You can listen for free via the website, but it's well worth the download. :D
@poenix I incorporated a little of this into the Island of Craetea on the new mod I've been tinkering with...
Rocky Landings III - Connor Island
It's nowhere near the level of sky odyssey, but if you find the gap at the edge you can find the stalactites!
Download Unity and give it a whirl! :D

This one is the best I've found, and I've even paid for a few that I was less happy with...

@EliteIndustries1
@Jasperjl
@Testin123 @septicfoot @jamesPLANESii Android Up!
@septicfoot @jamesPLANESii This is interesting as well!
Wookiefoot-Activate
@septicfoot @jamesPLANESii I think they are from NZ, so I guess @jamesPLANESii could see them live...
@septicfoot I'm not really sure... it seems to switch between jazz, reggae, dub, and has a nice horn section as well. There is a bit of eastern european halfway through. Interesting stuff; my first listen...
@septicfoot This is pretty amazing... just discovered it on the youtube
Fat Freddys Drop
@septicfoot DIsclaimer: it might take a little bit to finish building! It is pretty slow to switch platforms when building.
@septicfoot No Problem :D And my maps have come a long way. I need to re-release all of the originals with the improved texturing methods I've worked out.. (Thank you for the wonderful comment though!)
@septicfoot I figured you would respond quickly, it's working on it as we speak!
@septicfoot Maybe with a pretty please... ;)
CHoo, choo! Hey yo, Sir Bop'Em Hat; watch cho back, Playa!
!Insert {ALT} Thomas
@Joco80 Roger that, looking into it now!
@Flash0of0green ...As well as choosing a different armament set for different "legs" of the Mission...
@Jasperjl You know it's working right when the blue bar you see on your screen shot in the lower right (right above the time), Where it says (7/11 Light Transport | 31 Jobs). You WON'T see that bar working once you've found the right box to UNcheck.
Lemme know how it turns out!

No problem. Don't forget to link the Android build above! @Joco80

Here's your order!

@Flash0of0green I really like that idea! Reload Missles Too! (I thought someone was working on a Mod with in-flight refuelling...
@Joco80 @AudioDud3 Nuclear Truck Needed!
@Joco80
I'm not sure if it will work on android, but here is what it made... Enjoy! I'll put it on the Mod page as well.
