Landclass Patches for New Britain, New Ireland & New Hanover
These landclass patches were created using Dussell Dirk's EZLandclass2.
They are only required if you DO NOT have Rhumba's CFS2 Tropical Landclass installed.
This is because the new LWM polys cover areas that the stock CFS2 Landclass does not cover (presumably thinking they should be water). Depending on the textures you use, these may show as grey featureless squares. The bitmap name is 000h2su1.bmp, & this is called for when no landclass exists.
These patches cover these areas with 058h2su1.bmp instead, which is a mid-green jungle/forest texture.
Rhumbas CFS2 Tropical Landclass covers all of these areas with a more appropriate blend of textures. IMHO it's a better solution, but there will be some users that just don't want to have an extra scenery layer, so these Landclass Patches give these users a workaround.
I would have updated my custom landclass bgls for these 2013 sceneries, but I don't have access to the source files anymore. Rather than spend hours recompiling from scratch, these patches will have to do. To avoid conflicts with the existing LC bgls, they need to be installed into a different scenery layer than usual.
To install, simply move these files into the SWPTO_Rivers_UT/scenery folder.
