Caroline Islands-Solomon Islands-New Guinea - Landclass issue

[miccasharon]

Hi guys,

I'm enjoying with exellent Caroline Islands scenery by Jean Bomber & UncleTgt (ver. Updated 28 JUN 12).
Well, I have a small landclass issue with Yap island as attached pic.

I followed installation guide and also copy all textures in "senerydb/world/texture" to "texture" folder in root.

Anybody can pint out what am I missing?

Thanks,

Yuki

This project was done way back in 2012.

At that time, I think I had Rhumbas CFS2 Tropical landclass active.

It looks like a cell is blank, & the stock landclass is empty there also, so it calls up "000h2su1.bmp".

Luckily I still have the source files, so I was able to update the Yap_LC.bgl to cover it with something more appropriate.

Try this replacement Yap_LC bgl. Just unzip it to your Carolines_Islands/scenery folder & let it overwrite the original.

Hi Uncle,

Thank you so much!
Now, issue has gone & everything looks good.
Btw, I'm having same issue on some areas of your excellent solomons scenery.
Should I DL and activate Rhumbas CFS2 Tropical landclass ?

Cheers,

Yuki

Yuki,

I made a landclass patch for the Solomons for users that didn't want to use Rhumbas CFS2 Tropical landclass mod, & added to it when I made the expansion to include the New Hebrides etc.

Whilst the library files are being transferred across, maybe it's best to wait if you haven't downloaded it already...

 

[miccasharon]

Yes Uncle, I installed "Optional Landclass Patches for Solomons & Bougainville" but still have no joy.
It's only around choisel island, other areas look good.
Anyways, I will try to find Rhumba's tropical LC somewhere in library.
Thanks!

Yuki,

You highlighted an omission once again, thank you.

It seems I focused on the landclass around the Solomons airbases, & the southern & Eastern scenery work, but did not complete the work around the "non-combat" islands, like Choiseul.

Attached are some small updates that should deal with the issue you highlighted.

If you see any other areas with similar problems please highlight it.

I really should spend more time flying around & less time "creating" new stuff...

 

[UncleTgt]

Whilst flying around Choiseul, I noticed some of the reef waterclass cells did not blend well (you only really see this in map view or spot view in the specific locations).

So whilst I has EZ-Landclass2 open, I tweaked the reef bgls for this area. Small changes, but the edge blending is better now.

Uncle,

Thank you so much for update!
It's beautiful!

John, I'm onto your scenery downloads now. I should have your Solomon Islands in the new library in the next couple of days if you want to update it.

By the way your files are a pleasure to upload. Nothing needs correcting or adding and your lovely big pictures will be on show in the download blurb.

Uncle, Good morning! I'm flying around buna, milne bay, shortland. Your work looks fantastic.
Thank you so much again for your work.
No, No, "less time "creating" new stuff..." he, he,
Wishing more beautiful sceneries come from you.
Hope you will go for my home country, Philippines scneries in future.

Kev,

I sent you some dropbox links with some updated zips. The "Old" LIbrary won't allow any file updates, & the files aren't yet in the "New" Resources to update/replace...

Hi John,

Nothing received via email yet. New Britain and New Ireland should be in the new library tonight. The Solomons and New Guinea by the end of the week.

Cheers,
Kev

Landclass Patches for Solomon Islands & Bougainville

Updated 08-JUL-23 to includes areas of Eastern Solomons & New Hebrides from my recent Expansion scenery pack.

These landclass patches were created using Dussell Dirk's EZLandclass2.

They are only required if you DO NOT have Rhumba's CFS2 Tropical Landclass installed.

This is because the new LWM polys cover areas that the stock CFS2 Landclass does not cover (presumably thinking they should be water). Depending on the...

Hi Uncle,

Another small issue found near Munda airfield in Solomons.

Don't forget there are piers for ships added also.They are GSL scenery and were done over 10 years ago.

Missing Landclass Identifier Textures

In areas that the stock CFS2 Landclass does not cover (presumably thinking they should be water), CFS 2 makes use of 000h2su1.bmp when no landclass exists.

Depending on the textures you use, these may show as grey featureless squares.

Outside of the SWPTO, it uses 000b2su1.bmp in the same way.

New sceneries making use of Rhumbas mesh can uncover "new" areas of land that the stock CFS 2 landclass file does not...
