Hi,

the French airfields are on the home stretch. Rami is just testing the gsl.file and after that (some glitches to be removed for sure) I am going to upload.
This package will contain all French airfields exept the JHS-Corsica package.

Abbeville, Athis, Audembert, Azeville, Azeville (Reserve), Boissy-le-bios, Bordeaux, Brest and Brest Seaplane, Caen, Calais, Cambrai-Forenville, Cambrai-Haynecourt, Cherbourg, Denain, Etaples, Evreux, Guines, Guyancourt, Juvaincourt, La Rochelle, Laon, Le Havre, Lille, Lille Satellite, Reims, Rennes, St. Omer, Triqueville, Vannes and Velizy-Villacoublay

Some screen shots to see what you are in for.

Cheers

Ooh la la!....now i can complete my long overdue ETO upgrade! This completes your "JHS_various1" package, yes?!. I'll admit i was a little disappointed when i opened "Various1" and found no Abbeville, Caen, Cherborg, Etaples, Lille, Calais and Azeville. These were always my favorite haunts south of the Channel. :ernae:
 
Yeup...this package will have many new, but some bases from previous packs. :woot:

In short, all of the CFS1 bases in France will be in this pack.

Update: I tested the combined GSL file and airbase dat, packing the airbases and shipping them off to Achim. It shouldn't be too long...unless there are technical difficulties.
 
Very Nice

Beautiful work achim27619.:applause: I do not have a ETO install yet, but soon...these should go nicely.
 
Beautiful fields Achim!

BTW, I am building Tuskegee NA and Sicily missions to strafe and bomb your wonderful Corsica fields.

Sorry, all that work just to get bombed and strafed.............

But they do look nice before all the fire and smoke take over!:caked:
 
Wow, top quality. these are a must have. This will get me playing even more. thx again.
 
Hopefully when I land you can point the way to the nearest vineyard! Great work Achim.:ernae:
 
One cannot testfly often enough.

Azeville still has a glitch and you fall through the runway. I am working on it and will provide an update as soon as possible.

Sorry

Achim
 
Achim,

I have not had that problem, but I'm using Rhumbaflappy's new mesh. :typing:
 
I'm getting trouble. Cherbourg. I had this issue to a much greater degree when using the TAF2 version. The surrounding area is at sea level, but Cherborg is elevated on a 387.19ft plateau. The problem seems to be with CD Landclass, but I'm not going to get rid of the land class for that issue.
 
Blending in the airfields to countryside

This is probably a stupid question but would TR's (McCellands) file "New grass"," No grass" work with these and help them blend in to the surrounding countryside?
 
@ fibber: I really don' t think so and it would need a different style of making the airfields.

To All: I missed to attach the airbases.dat to the package. Here it is and it will be part of the first update.

Sorry chaps
 
I have just uploaded the neccessary update. The two Azevilles are now alright on my machine and the airbases.dat is attached as well.

Cheers

Achim
 
Achim, just so I don't mess things up.........

I have downloaded your French airfields and after looking at the installation instructions I believe I know what to do but want to make sure before I screw things up.

As I understand, if I want to utilize the GSL airfields in your new package I should remove all the duplicates (*.bgl files) in my 2TAF scenery folder (along with any of your earlier versions in other folders), and utilize the full GSL file, not the minus version. Is this correct?

Also is there anything additional I need to do? Thanks for your patience!
 
Optix,

1) Yes...all French 2TAF airbases should be removed.

2) No, you do not need to remove French bases by Achim which have already been released. This airbase pack simply includes ALL of the French airbases, the majority of which are new. Leaving his older French bases in will not affect them in any way, they will simply be overwritten.

Does that help? :rapture:
