Hey guys,

Since I've gotten really far-flung with a bunch of half-started projects, I'm taking a time-out from working on anything new for a couple of months. Shessi's comment about "cleaning out his hard drive" has inspired me to do the same.

I will get back to the Whirlwind and other missions after the first of the year. However, in the interim, I am bringing to light the work of Dominique Herbal, better known to us as Dombral. His works in the French Riviera and Northern Italy are wonderful, and I am taking the files he sent me for France and Italy and working with them to produce something missing from the Mediterranean theatre. (Toulon, Marseille, Genoa, Turin, Venice, etc.)

Following this, I will finish campaign updates using the works of Captain Kurt and Team Daedalus (Tuskegee and Beaus in the Sand are finished, but because they both utilize missions in this region, it's part of the reason to do this) and then release some unpublished scenery enhancements.

Kevin,

If it's multi-lod and destroyable, now we're talking!
 
How could you destroy beautiful St Marks Square Andrew! It's for FS2002 and consequently indestructible but it doesn't appear to affect frame rates. I had to remove six of your buildings and include a flatten in the scenery.cfg file.

Kevin,

Of course, you can change the scenery as you see fit for yourself...
 
Un message pour Dombral...

En français ...

Bonjour, mon ami! Je espère que vous avez eu un merveilleux Noël, et que vous êtes en bonne santé et de spiritueux. Je vous souhaite rien mais le meilleur au cours de cette prochaine nouvelle année. Vos messages dans le fil marine française me ont rappelé que je avais besoin de vous fournir une mise à jour sur mon avancement des travaux de la Méditerranée GSL.

Les derniers grands domaines que je ai à terminer sont le long de la Côte d'Azur. En ce moment, je travaille sur le secteur Imperia. Je ai terminé Toulon, Savone, Vado Centro, Venise, Marghera, ainsi que gardé les batteries anti-aériennes le long des mêmes zones du littoral, que vous avez inclus.

Je ai aussi contacté Achim pour voir se il peut construire les bases aériennes lesquelles vous avez fourni les mises en page pour. Cela inclut Le Luc, De Cuers, Marseille et Saint-Raphaël. Marseille est le dernier grand projet à faire, puis la suite de la Méditerranée, comme vous dites, sera achevée.

Je ai un couple de ports Je aimerais faire avant de fermer les livres sur le paysage méditerranéen.

Question: Voulez-vous que je vous relâche la suite méditerranéenne séparément comme un hommage à votre travail, ou voulez-vous juste pour inclure un crédit dans mon paquet méditerranéen GSL?

Seing que la façon dont vous faites un excellent travail, je préfère l'ancien et le placer sous votre nom afin que les personnes à SOH peuvent voir ce que beaucoup d'entre nous ont connu depuis si longtemps.

Se il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir ce que vous préférez, mon bon ami.

Good morning, my friend! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, and that you are in good health and spirits. I wish you nothing but the best during this upcoming new year. Your posts in the French Navy thread reminded me that I needed to provide you with an update on my progress on the Mediterranean GSL work.

The last major areas I have to finish are along the Côte d'Azur. At this moment, I am working on the Imperia sector. I have completed Toulon, Savona, Vado Centro, Venice, Marghera, as well as kept the anti-aircraft batteries along the same coastline areas, as you included.

I have also contacted Achim to see if he can build the airbases which you provided the layouts for. This includes Le Luc, De Cuers, Marseille, and Saint-Raphael. Marseille is the last major project to do, and then the Mediterranean suite, as you called it, will be completed.

I have a couple of ports I'd like to do before I close the books on the Mediterranean scenery.

Question: Would you like me to release the Mediterranean suite separately as a tribute to your work, or would you just like to include a credit in my Mediterranean GSL package?

Seing as how you do such excellent work, I would prefer the former and place it under your name so that people at SOH can see what many of us have known for so long.

Please let me know which you prefer, my good friend.
 
The first time I tried this...

Good afternoon,

For Porto Maurizio, I've never tried this type of harbor before. I like it. Do you? After this, I have to do the other side...Imperia, Italy.

Good afternoon,

So I guess it's a hit, eh? Here is what the completed harbor looks like in Mission Builder.
 
Very Nice

Hi Rami,

This looks really good!!!:applause::applause:

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you and your family all the best for 2015.

Thank you again for all of your efforts.

Cheers,

Stuart

Stuart277,

Thank you! Here is the other half of the harbor area...the town of Imperia, Italy. I built it up into the low hills, as in real life, and I chose to work without putting in a flatten switch, so it looks more natural.

Good evening,

I finished Frejús - Saint-Raphaël this morning, which leaves Marseille and a couple of airfields to finish up, then Dombral's Mediterranean suite will be completed.

Here are some screenshots...
 
joyeuses fetes

pour ma part je suis actuellement à Madagascar et je n'ai que mon portable pour communiquer , il faut bien faire autre choses dans la vie (entre autre profiter du soleil)
Je ferai le point à mon retour sur ma petie ile de La Réunion

Pour les derniers sceneries de la Méditerranée je vous laisse l'initiative , mes GSL pour Marseille Le Luc Cuers et St Raphael sont une ébauche et ils peuvent très avantageusement etre améliorés .

Bonne année et à bientot
 
CFS2 Mediterranean Francophone for Dombral...

Bonjour,

Certains d'entre vous ont pris connaissance des paysages de la Méditerranée que je ai travaillé sur ces dernières semaines. Permettez-moi de vous éclairer sur pourquoi je ai travaillé sur ce point.

Il ya quelque temps, Dombral m'a envoyé une série de missions et campagnes pour la Méditerranée qui couvrent les missions de 1940 à 1942. La campagne La France Libre couvre essentiellement missions jusqu'à la capitulation de la France le 25 Juin 1940.

Les autres missions inclus dans le forfait sont pour Taranto, Dakar, et l'opération Torch. Opération Torch est couvert de trois côtés; les Français de Vichy, les Britanniques, et la Marine des États-Unis.

En outre, il ya quelques autres «œufs de Pâques», qui je trouve dans ces missions. Je ai également demandé de contribuer Achim quelques aérodromes pour cela, et kdriver a également dressé avec certaines bases d'hydravions.

Il ya plus de quatre-vingt dix missions dans le travail qu'il m'a envoyé. Je suis déterminé à se assurer qu'il obtient le crédit qu'il mérite de démontrer l'implication française dans la guerre.

En raison de certains des avions qu'il utilise que je ne peux pas trouver une utilisation dans d'autres campagnes, ces missions seront probablement mieux servis par la création d'une installation française dédiée.

Alors maintenant vous savez. :wiggle:

In English...

Good morning,

Some of you have taken notice of the Mediterranean scenery that I've been working on these past several weeks. Allow me to enlighten you on why I have been working on this.

Some time ago, Dombral sent me a series of missions and campaigns for the Mediterranean which cover missions from 1940 through 1942. The Free French campaign basically covers missions up until the surrender of France on 25 June, 1940.

The other missions included in the package are for Taranto, Dakar, and Operation Torch. Operation Torch is covered from three sides; the Vichy French, the British, and the United States Navy.

In addition, there are a few other 'Easter eggs' which I am finding in these missions. I have also asked Achim to contribute a few airfields for this, and kdriver has also pitched in with some seaplane bases.

There are over ninety missions in the work he sent me. I am determined to make sure that he gets the credit he deserves to demonstrate the French involvement in the war.

Because of some of the aircraft that he uses which I cannot find use for in other campaigns, these missions will likely best be served by creating a dedicated French installation.

So now you know. :wiggle:
