Yeah, I booted up from my win7 hdd this morning and it crashed again. I did a a disk repair and I'll just use it as storage from now on. In the new year I will probably purchase another ssd and install win11 on it.
 
My gunner figures created in gmax , and I converted the existing 'b_infantry' texture for use as a gunner texture. I still need to create the gun steering controller and the fold-down supports for the figures to stand and sit on.

Gmax is a pain in the butt in win10. The select and rotate gizmo doesn't work. I had to go back to win7 gmax to complete certain tasks.
I found some solutions on Google but none of these work.

I'm considering running gmax in win10 with dgvoodoo2, PCEM or virtual box.

Cool to see it, and the crew too. More of our AA guns should have crews. Will this model be destroyable?

I will add a vehicle_damage model without the crew which will just consist of a blackened texture change which seems to be the norm.
I will probably create a crewed bofors AA gun for placement on airfields and the forts. The bofors wont be as detailed as the present model but it will have a crew.
I could do the same for the German 88mm flak gun, as the current g_infantry texture is basically the same layout as the b_infantry texture, so minimal work required, just the creation of a German helmet in gmax, when I can get it to work properly in Win10. I don't want to have to to switch back to my Win7 hdd every time I want to create a model.
I also plan to create a generic fort model based on the Horse-sand-fort, to be placed in the Solent at the appropriate co-ords.
 
Current state of Weymouth.

Gasworks and adjacent module need to be moved to the water's edge, and some small modules are to be added near the bridge in the new year.

yeah, gmax gets quirkier with each windows update. I assume preference settings/viewport transform gizmo is checked on and preferred size filled in??
