American Troops for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This project started because I was unhappy with the appearance of the Japanese Troops made by Silvia Borja & Xavier Berdaguer back in 2005. I thought I could improve on the texture, & wanted to change the LOD values used somehow, as these objects became simple black sticks far too close to the player.
Using G-Max I was able to tweak some of the texture mapping, & by adding another LOD & changing the LOD values used, I was able to get them to remain as recognizable figures further away from the player, without affecting frame rates too much.
It became apparent to me that with a simple change of headgear, & a few other model tweaks, it should be possible to model just about any other nations troops using these base models. So a much larger project was borne...
As with the originals, these are all configured as vehicles, so they can be spawned in missions. This includes the medium mortar.
This set depicts American troops in their khaki green battledress.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to Silvia Borja & Xavier Berdaguer, who created the original model set back in 2005.
Allen for his Making Exploding Objects using FS2002 Tools & Tutorial.
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX & FXeditor, such clever & versatile tools.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
