Been working on this for a week

Thanks for the pics but those are the ones I used to help place the buildings.My printer went out, so I had to go to a pic and then back into the Mission Builder and try to remember what I saw. This is hard when you get to be 64 years old.My memory isn`t what it use to be and at its best wasn`t that good.I am now working on Midway and could sure some detailed pics of it just before the battle of Midway.There are some I saw awhile back that showed where the aircraft revetments were but I can`t find them now.

Ship locations for all naval units in harbour December 7, this may help too, i am using it to create the most complete historic set up once the new PHP2 project is released to us. I also have some family diaries and papers and photos to use for this once we get the wonderful work that Crash and the team are doing is out.... and some memories passed down.

Some of the ships pictures were anchored fore and aft, and some had turned at an angle with the tide, as per the gun camera photo above of the harbour during the attack photo was taken from a Japanese plane in the attacking force and shows one of the IJN planes just rising up from a bomb attack on Battleship row.
 
wow Talon! that looks fantastic! Yes just like that. Are those Usio's BBs? everything looks really good.
 
Fantastic Crash. Wonderful news. Those hangers for FSX are remarkable, idential to what i see in the era photos i have from my grandfather. Beautiful.
 
Heh heh... wait till I get the Arizona in there and the other battlewagons. I can triple my poly count (24,000) and still be considered a lightweight model in FSX.

Heck will go about multi-res'ing the ships and go 50,000 polys... sweeeeet!:jump::jump:
 
cool, i will do Pearl in both, wish we could have decent air combat and damage effects in FSX :)
