ACG RAF Wattisham

Hi

Glad everyone is enjoying the airfield...

Yes you could change the aircraft to the Lightning, John Young has made an AI Lightning and is available from the usual places. You'd need to create a new traffic file and the airfield was a bit different in the lighting era, there were no HAS hangars, the Lightning would have sat between blast walls on dispersed parking around the airfield some of which remain and are in the scenery some are visible in the screenshot in the above post.

Regards

Stevo ;)
 
Ok, maybe later. The base is active even in lousy weather, I monitored short missions while clouds hanging almost to ground level...

The breathing sound has nothing to do with the ACG scenery or the AI Phantoms, it comes from the IRIS Phantom that is used as flyable aircraft in the video.
 
Hi

Uploading to Avsim as I write this is a seasonal version of Wattisham called RAF Wattisham 1991 - Seasonal Edition. It is compatible with Orbx FTX England only and requires the free 3rd part software SODE for it to work which is 100% needed. It is used to switch the seasonal textures on Trees and 3d grass mounds.

It has Summer, Fall, Winter, Hard Winter and Spring on the ground textures and the hangars have snow on the roof in hard winter. All ground textures by Pete Beeby



Its officially compatible with FSX only, but with a bit of work (in regard to SODE) it can also fully function in FSX Steam Edition and P3D. Instruction are on our forum....

Should be available in the next 24hr's

Regards

Stevo

If you have the original RAF Wattisham 1991 package you need to grab the EGUW_ADEX_SL_OBJ.bgl (18.8mb) from the scenery
folder. The one that comes with the new package is smaller (12.5mb) and is missing the hangers and a few other objects.

Please note...you do not need any other file from the original wattisham as Butcherbird17 has sugested. All that is missing is not having a quick glance over the manual..LOL

You need to download and install SODE, full instructions are in the manual.....If you dont have SODE then the Hangars, trees and grassed mound, QRA animated Doors, plus objects that turn with wind direction such as arrester nets, Runway caravan and PAR radar will not show. I did mention in my original post yesterday that 3rd party software SODE is 100% required...LOL. Putting in the file suggested above will only put the scenery back to how it was originally....

SODE or Scenery Object Display Engine for those who dont know is a small piece of software that communicates with FSX and can show models depending on a variety of conditional display options. Models are placed into FSX as Simobjects so in essence are AI objects. SODE can then dispay these objects and change things such as wind direction or the texture which is being displayed on model depending on, for example, what season it is.

Please read the manual thats why we take the time to put it in there, we would not release a scenery with parts missing it is all there it just works differently in this version...:encouragement:

This is how it looks in FSX with the ORBX FTX Egnland Addon in Hard Winter which is January in the sim.

Please read the manual ..

What are you thinking Stevo!!:biggrin-new:

While you're here.. is there anything else in this update other than the seasonal textures? I use GenX which isn't seasonal so on the face of it.. I don't need this update;)

Hi DaveB,

No mate, nothing else been added in the scenery as far as objects go, it is essentially the same as the original version, only this version blends with the Orbx FTX England addon, if you use Genx which isnt season then no you dont need it...

:encouragement:
