A few screenies of recent endeavours...

Hi BC,

Have you ever tried Pen32win's Pactex mod? Here is a copy of his post.

Listed below are the textures that I replaced. The first number is the series that was replaced. The second number is the series I used to replace it with, a copy of it that is.

Here’s how I did it to help prevent messing things up. Before starting back up your files.
1. Delete the series (There are 7 files in each series) that you want to replace.
2. Copy the series that is going to replace them and paste them in an empty folder.
3. Rename the files you just copied to the same names as the file deleted in Step 1.
4. Move the files you just renamed back into your scendb/wolrd/texture folder.
So if you’re going to replace series 006H2SU1 thru 7 with series 066H2SU1 thru 7 you would first delete 006H2SU1 thru 7. Then copy 066H2SU1 thru 7 to the empty folder and then rename them to 006H2SU1 thru 7. Then move the new files back into to the world texture folder.

The list:

006h2su1-7 replace with copies of 066h2su1-7
011h2su1-7 replace with copies of 025h2su1-7
027b2su1-7 replace with copies of 022b2su1-7
052h2su1-7 replace with copies of 019h2su1-7
063h2su1-7 replace with copies of 018b2su1-7
031h2su1-7 replace with copies of 031b2su1-7 (better city textures)
064h2su1-7 replace with copies of 047h2su1-7

Make these changes and PacTex2 becomes very different. Very nice for the PTO. It makes your jungle areas jungles but they are not mono-texture looking.


Regards,
B24Guy

Love all your stuff MR. So happy to see your new updates. Especially Micronesia. Just been re-reading John Lundstrom's "The First Team" and went looking for a CFS2 Makin and found it in your original mr_micronesia. Your scenery is so much better than the MS versions. Wonder if you might might do some replacements?

Hiya Worthless. A little follow-up to my last reply to your post.

I have started in earnest on Butaritari Atoll (Makin Island). Started with Butaritari Island itself as a separate project. I wanted to get the coastline and assorted piers and wharves looking as close as possible to the WWII Japanese set-up. Next up will be a separate project of Makin Island proper (up in the far NE corner of the atoll). Then I will do all of the lesser Islands in one project.

My project map ended up being a hodge podge combination of SRTM shuttle water-body data, Google-earth image and a nice map from the Hyperwar website.

The attached image shows progress so far. Still needs roads and proper water class and so on. but its coming along nicely. I will include a very rough runway and airfield set-up although there was actually no airfield until after the Allies occupied the island.

And, oh yeah, Shessi's Emily wreck ends up nestled snugly against the base of Kings Wharf just where it is supposed to be!

Anyhow, here how she looks so far:

Butaritari Atoll (Makin) coming along!

Hi guys. Progress on Butaritari (Makin) Atoll. Still need to do the water-class and touch-up a few other details. Its been a fun little project!

The first shot is an overview of the entire atoll. The second two are close-ups of Butaritari Island.
The second three, next post, show close-ups of Makin Island. The airfield on Makin is way over-done for anything that was ever actually there. But I can't resist the urge to indulge my artistic license!

MaskRider,

Love your work. Your scenery really comes alive with GSL.

I am still hopelessly fixated on my father's war, and fly from Ie Shima every day.

Thanks again all your work, and for me, particulary Ie Shima.
 
Impressive :applause:...

Chris, they should have had someone with your current skill set on the original design team, just for the aesthetics. But then again, that might have turned this into a civie sim with far more tourists than combat pilots :applouse:
 
Gilbert Islands: Working my way around the map

A few more screenies. The latest are a couple of easier little projects: Arorae and Tamana Islands. First image is a Gilbert Islands map- with check marks next to completed locations. Then two shots each of Arorae Island and Tamana Island.

Cheers,
MR

Fantastic MR. Just what we needed. I can hardly wait.

Chris,

This new scenery really does look fantastic, your scenery for the Pacific (as well as those made by UncleTgt) have so radically enhanced CFS2, it's truly incredible. :encouragement:
 
Onotoa Atoll

Just about finished with this little gem: Onotoa Atoll.

Still need to build a proper airfield but otherwise she's just about done.
