Description: Encampment Infastructure Objects for CFS2 by UncleTgt


This is a disparate collection of infrastructure objects I created using G-Max & Allen's Making Exploding Objects using FS2002 Tools & Tutorial. Pretty much all of them are multi-LOD & include custom destroyed models.


I started by repainting some of the "standard" infrastructure objects to improve their appearance in the sim, often just by making them larger & improving the details on the texture. Then I moved on to create some new objects in G-Max where I thought there were still gaps to be filled.


NOTE: Some of the textures are replacements for those you might have in your install. You might want to create back ups of those texture files before you overwrite them with these newer textures.


Camonets - A new camonet texture (DXT3 format), plus a range of 7 different camonet configurations


Ground Damage & Rubble - "fake" 3D effect brick brick rubble & smashed timber object tiles


Jerricans & Supply Dumps - a new jerrican object, & 2 varieties of POL stores. Also duplicate versions of these objects painted as Water stores, with a suitably muted DP file


Oil Drums - repaints for the stock oildrum object, & wolfi's oildrums. New oildrum store objects in 2 varieties


Sacks - new stacked & scattered sack objects


Radio Aerials - a new smaller radio aerial arrangement


Revetments - new sandbag textures for the stock, Maskrider & AF emplacements & revetments


Tents - repaints for XavierBs & Maskrider's tents, using alpha channels more widely to open them up. A new First Aid Tent model, plus a depiction of the UK Army Mk5 12-man Bell Tent. Both of these in 3 different colours, green, brown & canvas.


To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.


Thanks to


XavierB, Maskrider & Wolfi for leading the way with their infrastructure objects
Allen for his Making Exploding Objects using FS2002 Tools & Tutorial
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX & FXeditor, such clever & versatile tools


This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions

Thanks guys, maybe they'll get some use, maybe not ...

Here's a couple of pics to illustrate the changes to the stock crate, revetment & oil drum objects ...

these are just texture bitmap changes, no changes to the original models at all ...
