When I saw this message I instaled SF2 again after 5years and ....ok it was nice but I think that it is time to move. There is too many "hotfixes"

which cover some specific behavior and technology is already obsolete. Yes I am dreaming about something similar - "semi lite", but still simulator with dynamic campaign,

from 1960-80s, not primarily multiplayer game, with terrain which feels good and moddable.

Hello Soulfreak, this project is "on hold" and I am not able to continue on it due to real life.

I can send all files you can see here to somebody.

Hello I still have the 3D file and templates if you want.

Do you know this page?

Might be useful

Last versions of Blender made conversion to 3DS even more complicated.

I dont think its even possible to make complete model with UVW maps and hierarchy

and export it into 3DS.

I do mesh modeling in Blender because its faster and I was used to, then everything else

I did in 3DS. Maybe somebody could make export from Blender available

Monty CZ

Sometimes I play that but when He-51 is faster than lagg-3 I dont call it simulation :-)

Playing with trees lately:

one LOD is for 5 trees in sguare 40x40m

Monty CZ

I have only limited amount of time so I can "trade" plane modeling for map works :-)

seriously some terrain guru would be helpful - I want to use stock germany CE map but

modded with smaller towns and different TOD buildings (to eliminate skyscrappers)

Monty CZ

ups I did it again

work slowed down due to RL but still in the process

Monty CZ

I use one sided material and if required simple copy the mesh invert faces inside and connect it in hierarchy to the original one

I would vote for import option since I lost a lot of source files of released planes and objects :-(

Even payware PRO version is option for me.

Monty CZ

hello its DAT with permission to include into the mod.

Still slowly working on the subject

airfield german side -

Monty CZ

Did you tried the same "smooth group" as fuselage?

Monty CZ

it was written here:

http://combatace.com/topic/60610-how-to-create-an-airfield-from-scratch/

Monty CZ

6 trucks released for the german side

Monty CZ

soon on your car dealer shop:)

Monty CZ

Wrench I have something to compile and release soon

I needed some trucks for the targets so I build some.

5 types per side (actually one type and 5 variants)

ingame check:

Monty CZ

The target is to make things better than before:

still WIP

Monty CZ

bussy with another model I did 3years ago and lost

Monty CZ

I can do that. texture TGA? since it is supposed to have some transparency on the edges?

Monty CZ

So the airfield is populated

but strange things happened

what is head and what is tail in airfield ini?

lets say on runway 60/240 (in airfield data file

I have Heading=0

in targets ini I set heading to 60

and I supposed that head course would be 60

(60 is preffered/primary course)

this is part of my file

[Runway001]
Heading=0
Offset=0,0
Length=1200
Width=60
TouchDownHead=0, 518.5
TouchDownTail=0, -518.5
TakeOffHead=0, 530
TakeOffTail=0, -530

TaxiHead[01].Heading=90
TaxiHead[01].Offset=-40,-580
TaxiHead[02].Heading=90
TaxiHead[02].Offset=-70,-580
TaxiHead[03].Heading=100
TaxiHead[03].Offset=-99.54,-574.79

thank you for ideas

Monty CZ

I compiled my latest work on buildings...

since I cannot upload a new file into download section here it is for you

hangars&buildings.zip

MontyCZ

Soulfreak if you have special request and some drawings I can do something,

but now I did about 10 types of hangars and I need to make destroyed lods for them

and place them into airfield. Planned min 6 standard layouts of airfields and some

specific historically correct (2 or 4)

If somebody with knowledge can draw a layout of the "typical" unified layout for

small, medium and large airbase it would be helpful.
