New Scenery Idea...

Bodmin? I ain't done a Bodmin! Gimme chance to get the ones done already on my list! :icon_lol:

The only vehicles I've used prior to Fowlmere v1.1 have been the default "Truck Military", which looks vaguely like a British WW2 era truck and "Truck Fuel Military" which is a phenomenally American deuce-and-a-half with a tank on the back. I don't use them at RAF air bases, only USAAF ones.

The trucks, ambulance and jeeps I put in at the last incarnation of Fowlmere were by MCDesigns and are FS9 models from the Donationware Corsair Anthology pack (the FS9 one, not the CFS one).

What you really want are Austin K2 series wagons all over the place, doing everything, but I've not actually got a model of one of those yet. Maybe I'll try a truck after I've tried and failed to build a stately home. :)

I should probably add to this that there's nothing of mine at all in Falcon's scenery - it's entirely his own work. I stopped when it was clear that not only had he already done all that I had and more, but it looked better as well... ;)
 
Yes, yes absolutely wonderful! I have a huge thank-you to make:

I feel somewhat guilty that you have given up your time to create this place, so I want you to recieve a HUGE apprieciation from me and all of the SoH members who'll enjoy flying from this location!
:ernae: it's perfect as it is!
 
This airfield will definitely be getting plenty of use from me - thank you Ed for brining this idea to life! And I assume that by how you make the scenery, one can simply remove a BGL file or two and can switch the 'movie set' military buildings/vehicles on and off, which is excellent.
 
Not a big deal really. After my job went away in August, I was really depressed big time, wondering how I was ever going to make it financially and it has not been easy to be sure. . .but you adapt, you make it work and you enjoy what you have, which consists of my two granddaughters and this new found love/hate relationship with scenery design, lol. It can be extremely gratifying and depressing at the same time, lol.

I am just happy that I can put what I've learned on my own and what other talented developers like Bill Womack, Holger Sandman, jdhaenens, LCsims, Michael (MCDesigns), IanP, JoeW, kjb, Gary (I know I'll forget somebody, lol) and others have contributed to my knowledge base, to produce scenery that folks actually enjoying flying into and around and out of, lol. I still have a lot to learn and I'm working on that, but it'll come along, little by little.

Thanks again!!:salute:

Yep, that entire section is a separate bgl, so if you want to retro, you can leave it in, or leave it out and be more modern.:salute:
 
While we're on the subject of WW2 European airfields ...

Anyone know where I can find all the Luftwaffe bases before the D-Day Invasion for FSX?

If you ever find it, I want it too. :)

I do know that the "Boys from Abbeville" was a fictional invention, but that the Germans did use Abbeville airfield. What they used it for, I'm not sure.

I do have a book that shows Luftwaffe aircraft allocations to bases during the Battle of Britain, but no later than that.

Regarding this scenery, I have no claim on it whatsoever... I'm more than happy to host it if anyone wants me to and I'll probably post a link to it wherever falcon puts it, for anyone visiting my site who doesn't already come here (I get a few... mainly from French forums for some reason!), though.

P.S. Bodmin airfield is a new invention, not a WW2 RAF field. It's off the list again. Sorry! ;)
 
so will you upload it here, Ed or post it to Ian's page? If you'd like, I'll write the "blurb info" for it that goes under the upload, and PM it to you.

I'll upload it here and to the file sharing site and I'll send IanP a copy as well that he can post on his site if he wants to. Sad to admit it, but I have never been on Ian's site, so I'm not familiar with it enough to post something even If I wanted to, lol.

You can't post... I'd have to. No particular reason other than it's easier for me to control that way and, so far, the only developers who have stuff on there are Ted Andrews within the terms of his license, Bill Womack with specific permission from him and little old me. :)

My corner of the internet is a pretty specific interest site so I wouldn't expect 99.9% of people to ever want or need to go there. Indeed I'm always slightly surprised when people actually do.

In this case, I'm more than happy to host it, but can equally just put up a story and/or page with a link to it at the file sharing site or just pointing people here?

We might have noticed that someone is a little excited about this one... ;) :d

I'd just like to add my thanks to Ed for putting all the work in that you have on this. It is appreciated. :applause:
