Iwo Jima 1945 Scenery Uploaded

Awesome effort guys! Talk about being at a moment in history. Y'all can almost smell the av fuel burning.:guinness:
 
Big-Mike, Mark is on the other side of the world so he may not respond right away but I looked at the object which I believe to be the destroyer USS MAH. There are no contact point or wakes attached so we will have to look elsewhere as to why you see this effect. I saw something similar a couple of years ago while making some Pearl Harbor scenery. More to come. Mark is a real expert when it comes to objects.

If anyone else sees this effect (water straight up in the air) please let us know.

I might add that none of the beta testers reported this. Neither Mark or I have seen it either. We will get it tracked down though. I await Mark to respond. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
Michael, that is a big help to us. At least the problem is not with our objects. I searched and search all our ships for any attachment point that would cause any trouble but found none. When Mark gets back on line hopefully he will have an answer. Again I saw this same effect in another scenery about 2 years ago and never figured out what it was. More to come for sure.

Mike, Tom and I checked the Iwo scenery and I don't see this type of ship at all at this place. Besides, most the ships (expecially the destroyers) belonging to the scenery at this place are facing the opposite direction and don't have any attachpoints where such effects (including the smoke from the smokestacks) could come from. To me it seems like this is part of another scenery.
Or - maybe it's USS Eldrigde, re-appearing after the Pihiladelphie experiment :) ?
Maybe you could post another picture that shows the ship in relation to the other ships of the eastern fleet? Is this the only ship you see in the scenery that produces this effect?

My experience is that these effects can happen when AI ships are converted to static scenery objects and the attached wake effects to the model are not deleted (my first assumption) and / or very old fx files get copied over new ones or get somehow corrupted.


Cheers,
Mark
 
"...maybe it's USS Eldrigde, re-appearing after the Pihiladelphie experiment :) ?""

That would explain everything. It's the vestages of the energy ripple in the timewarp during the temporal transition. Only question is was the Eldridge coming or going?
:kilroy:
 
Bruce, you hit it right on. There is an old Fletcher class destroyer in the Iwo Jima 1945 Scenery / scenery folder named Fletcher Iwo.bgl that is a hold over from a couple years ago when I made some changes to the default Iwo Jima. This object has the wake attached. If you have this destroyer in your Addon Scenery / scenery folder you could see this effect.

All you have to do is go into the Iwo Jima 1945 Scenery/ scenery folder and delete the Fletcher Iwo.bgl file and you are good to go.

If you wish to use the really cool looking destroyer I have removed the attach points and you will only see smoke from the Fletcher. Send me an email and I will return the new corrected destroyer file. The scenery does really well without this one ship but it is a pretty cool looking destroyer.
 
Tom has written allready what the culprit was.
Many thanks to all for the input.Much appreciated!
Now i can finally enjoy this amazing scenery.

Effect File Left Out of Iwo Jima

Everyone who has Iwo Jima 1945 Scenery, it was noticed that an effect file was left out of the uploaded Iwo Jima 1945 Scenery.zip. For those who wish some added effects here is the effect file to add to Microsoft Flight SimulatorX / Effects folder.

Sorry for missing this one. I have also uploaded the complete scenery one more time to include the missing effect and a fix for the water spout seen by at least one user. The destroyer in question is included with several more added.
 
Thank you very much,Tom and the whole team.
I really enjoy this scnery,outstanding work.
All the vehicles,ships and the Tank fire---amazing!:applause:

Should someone regard me as a full fledged participant in the making of this scenery, let me disavow you of that notion. Tom contacted me in response to a question by Mark about how to make PSP (Pierced Steel Planking) show up on the runways and aprons. All I did was get that done. Tom was and is the major author and deserves all the credit on this one.

Jim
 
Jim you were certainly willing to jump to the plate for the steel mats variation. Plus you are an inspiration to many of us.
 
Hello Tom,
I have a problem with your excellent scenery: as you can see in the picture, when I'm taxing in that point I always crash against an invisible wall.
