+Gepard Posted September 16, 2023 Author Posted September 16, 2023 I'm working on the big french base of Creil. And i found a little problem, when i checked out the base by sat pictures. I If you look to the lower left side you see two buildings, which are forming a SS rune. I don't know, whether it are old buildings from the time of german occupation or the French did not realize what they have built. If i would place this buildings in that shape into the terrain, i would violate german laws. Quote
+Gepard Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Aerodom Creil, as could have been in the 1960th. (Parking planes are not yet at their correct positions.) Google Earth gives sat pictures from 1985, which is washed, and then from mid 1990th. So i had to guess which dispersal areas would have been active in the 1960th.

Because if the german law don´t make this distinction, and ban everything who resemble something, its a problem, I imagine... Quote

+Gepard Posted September 29, 2023 Author Posted September 29, 2023 Paris Orly (WIP), run- and taxiway layout made after an air photo from 1956. I had to make the airport a little bit smaller, so that it fit into the 2 x 2 km tile. 7 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 wicked if ya need to do a series of parked airliners with European carriers, let me know. i know a guy that could whip it up fairly quickly....... 1 Quote
Wrench Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 what we really need are static model of aircraft to add to the airports. They can be 'date stamped' to start like their real world counterparts. And other birds, too. Expecially on the Red Side -- static transports, helos, civil birds. etc 2 Quote

Boeing 707, 727 and Caravelle would be welcome. A 747 i already have, but it does not fit in the timeframe of the terrain. Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 707 I got DC-8 also I agree, a 727 and Caravelle would be nice im guessing your time frame is outside the service of the A310 though Quote

I make the terrain for the 1960th. After the experiences of 6-days-War in 1967 nearly all european nations added hardened shelters to their airfields in the 1970th. For the timeframe of 1970th and 80th an other rebuilt of the terrain would be neccessary. 2 Quote

If the original authors of the various civvy airliners available for SF2 would be okay with sharing the max source files with me (not to be distributed any further), I would gladly convert them to static terrain object LODs, this is something I have been hoping to do for a while. 1 Quote
+Gepard Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 4 hours ago, Stratos said: Not possible to downgrade the existing airliners to static objects? No it is not possible. The center of the LOD is different for static planes and flyable planes. If you use a flyable plane, like the Boeing 707, as static model, it will look in game as it would be half sunken in the soil. 2 Quote

+Gepard Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Stratos said: Jimbib on post over your one says is possible. With the MAX of course... I mean you must convert the LOD file by editing the center in the MAX file. So you can make a flyable plane to a static plane. You cant use one LOD for both, static and flying. 1 Quote

+Gepard Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 Does someone know whether we have a british Marconi Type 80 radar anywhere? I need it to replace the old WW2 radar net with a british radar of the 1960th timeframe. 1 Quote
