warthog64 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Just wondering if there is a model of this great ship available anywhere. Thanks Quote
+Wrench Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) One's been available for years ... the lod is dated 2005. Unfortunately, as I can't locate a readme for it, and until such time a determination is made as to WHO made it (meaning: Hinch, DAT, Geo???) uploading is not an option. I'd more suspect Hinchbrook or Geo, as it uses 3 skin maps, and the 'pattern' is very similiar to other WW2 items they've done. (judging by the lack of guns and gunners in the data ini -dated 2007-, I'd go with Hinch first, simply because it's so old. We've learned a LOT since then! No slight to either Hinch or Geo is meant that statement) wrench kevin stein Edited June 25, 2010 by Wrench Quote
+Wrench Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Ok, scouring the archives (meaning the pile of CD and one of the externals), the Belfast came inside the original EAW Euro WW2 terrain. I still don't know who built it, but it looks more and more like it might be Hinchbrooke. I doubt the original terrain (from 2005) is still availabe here; I know the small ugrade I uploaded dosn't have it, but maybe Avsim might. Although that's kinda doubtfull. Then, you'd just need to assemble the parts into a new GO folder, update the main ini to latest standards, upgrade the data ini to include gunners and the 6 inch gun (although I'm pretty sure only 1 turret moves), and off you go wrench kevin stein Quote
+Hinchinbrooke Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Whoever built Belfast, it wasn't me. I have drawings, and have thought about building her (my last 'visit' was in 2008), but haven't had the time. Quote
warthog64 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 Hey everyone thanks for your help, I just noticed that the NAfrica/Western Desert terrain has the Belfast as a target. However there is no lod or file of the ship so it just appears as nothing. I could be wrong and may have just set it up wrong (the reason it's not showing up) but I did not see it as part of the terrain package. However it must be somewhere I guess Thanks again Quote
+Wrench Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 yes, that's because it's a GroundObject, placed 'in port' via the targets_ini Thanks for the info Hinch; I'd automatically credited you with it, since you ARE the major shipbuilding company for 3W sim! I guess an email to capun is in order, to check and see if he created it. Since it came with the terrain ... I jsut don't know anymore!!! wrench kevin stein Quote
