Actually the Ondonga scenery is much newer than anything available at NetWings. I have never released it as a full tilt public offering. But I do have a zip of the most up to date MR Solomons scenery- what I currently have loaded in my CFS2 world- and will send it along to whoever would like to have it.

WITH THE FOLLOWING PROVISO::d

Any old MR Solomons stuff you have installed will conflict with this new stuff. So the old stuff needs to be removed.

To be frank, the reason I don't release this newer stuff publicly is because I am unwilling in my old age to be answering endless emails regarding installation problems. Experience has taught me that 99% of installation problems are caused by users not following the instructions or not knowing how to use their computers. :d

The instructions included with the scenery are very comprehensive. As long as they get read carefully there should be no problem.

So, those who do not feel comfortable fooling around with CFS2 scenery installation or who are not totally at ease fooling around with their computers might not want to use this newer MR scenery. Because MR is no longer the equitable, patient and understanding MR that he used to be! :d

For those who dare, send me a PM with you email addy.

Ya Know mask. Your only going to to tease people with those screen shots. :d


Hey Fellas! If you don't get MR's 'beta' SI airfield pack, your missin out!
 
Presto. All of MR's Solomons airfields are in their places and looking good.

Now I need a new computer. I don't have enough planes for all these airfields. My rig can only handle 30 squadrons tops in a DCG mission without limping. Gonna need a lot of AA guns too.

I'll have to re-work my insane 1943-44 DCG Solomons campaign to incorporate the new airfields. It's already a hornet's nest of monstrous proportions. I can jam up to 52 squadrons into it, but I'll have to run it at moderate density so they don't all go up at once.

I can't believe they built all those airfields on that little chain of islands and enough planes to populate all of them in their spare time while they were building enough ships and planes for a fast carrier fleet. They were industrious people. It was like, you people on the east side take Europe, and you people on the west side take the Pacific. A's and E's, people.

It was reported that Lincoln, informed that the relentless Grant was a drunkard, was curious to know exactly what brand of whiskey Grant was chugging. Someone should investigate what those '40's people were on.:d
 
Amen,

Brother Chris! This has driven more than one designer to cease releasing new work....more's the pity. :kilroy:
 
I know all you Black Sheep will want this - runway data for Vella Lavella - the Black Sheep squadron's hidey hole. The airfield is in MR's zip file, but not the runway data. Not in mine anyhow.

And if Colonel Lard finds out you've got those nurses up there, the fun and games will be over for you.:d

i tried everything under the sun to get the ondonga scenery apearing together with the solomons scenery but one blots out the other so its either one or the other.the problem lies in 2 GOB areas overlaping.I tried merging Ondonga and Munda but no way.real shame its such an important base for cfs2 since its a pacific conflict sim basically.

Dog1,

1. Did you remove the older .bgl files with similar names to the new .bgl files? If not, that might be what is causing your conflict. I ended up removing several older files before installing the new set.

2. If the conflict is just with the GSL layer:

a. Delete your current .gsl file and reinstall your original CFS 2 stock, unmodified .gsl file.

b. Reinstall the gob file that came with the most recent Maskrider Solomon Islands scenery.

These two steps should get you flying out of Ondonga without any conflicts.
 
a subjective note

Although you recommend certain textures for the "best look" MR, an on going beauty of your work is that it blends superbly with just about anything.

I'm not quite sure what could be going on here.

The mr_si.gsl file included in the scenery contains the scenery layouts for the stock Vila and Munda. Adding mr_si.gsl to the stock cfs2.gsl using GSLMan.exe should simply replace Munda and Vila- leaving them exactly as they are..

Is Dog1's problem happening with everyone? Go to Munda and Vila and see if the scenery objects are there. They are on mine.

How about a couple of screenies. Maybe I am not understanding what is happening.

Thanks for pointing this out Ettico. The runway entry for what I call Barakoma is indeed missing from the list. Just for comparison here is what I have it as:

[runway.XXX]
id=XXXX
name=SI Barakoma 15
base_lat=S07 54.40
base_lon=E156 42.43
base_alt=0
heading=147
allegiance=0

takeoff_start_pos=-400,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200

landing_touchdown_pos=500,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

Cheers,
Chris

I just checked Munda and Vila. Both are stock airfields with stock GSL objects when using the new Solomon .bgl and .gsl files. Seems to me like they always were stock.

Here they are:

1. Munda
2. Ondongo
3. Vila
