Good morning,

I am in the process of creating a legacy section to preserve MaskRider's memory. :wiggle:

Description: INTRO: Sakishima-Gunto is the name of the island chain southwest of Okinawa, between the NE coast of Formosa and Okinawa. The Japanese flew Kamikaze missions against American shipping during the invasion of Okinawa from airfields on Ishigaki-Shima and Miyako. DevilDog73’s Operation Iceberg project is what got me interested in Sakishima-Gunto. It’s a very cool little group of islands with all sorts of what I call harborlets. Tucked all around here and there- mainly to handle the ferry traffic between the islands and the fishing boats. So, it is a very target-rich environment.

GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES:

!Avoiding possible scenery conflicts: Many scenery designers have built scenery for Japan. With that in mind it would be wise if you deactivate any Japanese scenery in this area that could possibly conflict. Additionally Kevin “Kdriver” has put together a list of Rhumba-generated flattens that, if present, might cause issues. Here is that list:

M5082551.BGL Rota, Tinian, Saipan
M5082571.BGL Guam
M5122551.BGL Farallon de Pajaros
M5122571.BGL Sarigan, Pagan, Agrihan
M5162511.BGL Minamiioto
M5162531.BGL Iwo Jima, ChiChijima
M5202511.BGL MukoJima
M5162211.BGL Yonaguni-Jima, Iriomote-Jima, Ishigaki-Shima
M5162231.BGL Tarama-Jima, Miyako-Jima

The last two in particular would definitely be in the way, although I am not sure what exactly they would get up to. Thanks Kevin, very much, for your foresight and willingness to lend a hand!

!This scenery was built to fit Rhumba’s mesh. However, I have included an exclude that will get rid of all stock rivers, roads and shorelines so that those who wish to, can use it with stock mesh. Although I am not too sure how well the stock mesh- what little of it there is- will fit with these new LWMs and shorelines.

Kevin,

Thanks. I transferred all of his scenery files into the legacy section. There is also this, which you are free to upload...

Andrew,

Over the next few days I'll put the download list for MR's scenery in the Utilities section, as well as compile a package containing his excellent maps and screenshots of his bases.

My condolences. Very sad news indeed. Another legend of the CFS2 has gone. Like for many of us, his airfields really made CFS2 really come alive. And his airfields are the things I still miss since I have moved to FS2004 (already ages ago).

Thanks for you legacy and rest in peace,
Huub

Hi Huub; many of Chris' sceneries work in fs9 too; you'll have to maybe tweak a few here and there to avoid terrain/ stock airport conflicts

I updated the MR_infotools download in the MaskRider legacy section, as well as the Utilities section.

Along with the original two files, it now contains Rami's download list plus separate maps of MaskRider's airfields.

As there are dozens of them, I haven't included the airfield screenshots which are viewed by clicking on the maps on MR's website.

Apart from MR's website, does anyone know if Lindsay Watt's objects can be obtained elsewhere?

I'm just wondering about the future of his website.

Don’t think they’re available anywhere else, I have everything he’s released if needed

Thanks Aussie.

The problem is Lindsay didn't want his work on this website.

Hi Kevin,

I’ve been in contact with Lindsay and he really doesn’t care if his files get uploaded here. To him it’s more about keeping Chris’s memory alive.

Hi Aussie,

That's good news.

Chris's interactive maps on his website would be nice to preserve. I wonder if his videos can be retrieved as well.

Cheers,

Kevin

I’ll take a look at the interactive map and see if I can transfer it into something that we can upload

Kevin
I’ve finished the interactive maps but there’s no videos on the site, they’ve been uploaded to his YouTube channel, I’ll provide a link tomorrow when I finish work so the maps can be uploaded.

cheers 🍻

Thanks aussie - got them now. Well done!

I'll add the scenery galleries to the MR info tools download.

Cheers,
Kevin
 
Hi Kevin,

The hyperlinks are the names of the bases not the red dots. Not all of them have them either, Australia doesn't Dutch East Indies does if the page doesn't have this : (click airfield name to view image) visible it doesn't contain any. Everything works offline that should my end

Cheers
