More great library objects from UncleTgt

Hirez Runway textures UT

703916607592563841.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery - Library objects

Description: Hi-Rez Runway Textures for CFS 2 by UncleTgt


These are texture reworkings based partly upon the work by Shphawk back in 2016. Mostly a retinting exercise, but the Steel Mat runway texture has been more extensively revised.


The bitmaps are in 444-4 format, as I find this format is the best compromise for "shimmering" (due to graphic card performance) & sharpness of texturing.


The alpha channel blending isn't perfect, but the runway object format has some limitations ;-o


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

Stone causeway 25mtr x 2mtr high - same height as Wolfi's wooden piers
Stone causeway 50mtr x 2mtr high

Stone causeway endcap
Wood Jetty 25mtr x 2mtr high
Wood jetty 50mtr x 2mtr high
Wood jetty 50mtr with transit shed

UncleTgt,

Many thanks for the palm trees, shipwrecks, runways textures, piers, and slipways! These will certainly come in handy! :wavey:
 
Great stuff UT....in fact, fantastic stuff John!!

Good to have quality choice for CFS2, and at last a very decent crushed coral runway, need that kind of detail in other theatres..;)

Many thanks also for the Mavis, great when things start making sense lol.

Cheers

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I also updated my recent Akemi Zero, Rufe & Val skinpacks with some airfile & aircraft.cfg tweaks - I've been working with Skylane to get much better AI formation flight characteristics, & better approximations of real life range performances - get ready for some long missions down the Slot!!!
 
Wolfis Library Objects Part 6 - possible texture issue

I've recently been playing around in GMax trying my hand at expanding the pontoon bridge objects I made for Shadow Wolf.

This lead me to look at making some Bailey Bridge type objects :a1089::dizzy: for the Allies :biggrin-new:

As part of this, I started to look more closely at some of the bridges made by Wolfi. In his library objects part 6 there is a wooden bridge in 3 parts, but my zip doesn't have any textures in it for bridges. When I look at the object using ModelconverterX, it says it cant find any texture named "bridge1".

I've looked through all my different installs & I don't see this texture name anywhere. I've just re-downloaded part 6 (my original download was quite old) & it doesn't seem to include any bridge textures.

Anybody able to shed some light on this?
 
haha :glee: , it's a stock texture, it's in the main texture folder, -or should be. -Or use the zip below. :adoration:

Wonderful collection - thanks very much John. :applause:

I've had the privilege of testing some of the beautiful new Solomons scenery and the frame rates are good over the coconut plantation.

Thanks also for the new cosmetic surgery on Betty and Babs.

Cheers,

AF Blue Oiltank Texture revamp UT

899716632591537867.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery - Library objects

Description: AF "Blue" Oiltank Texture Revamp


The AF Blue Oiltanks use the stock cfsair2.bmp as the texture for the tank sidewall. I just increased the bitmap size & replaced the existing texture with something more detailed.


Unzip this to a temporary location, then copy & paste the texture into your CFS2/SCENEDB/Inf/Texture folder, letting it replace the one that's already there.
