Ports for Asia and Pacific

Hi Talon,

Good work as always.
:applause:
Are you thinking of trying the carrier raids in spring '45 eg The Wolfgang (Air Group 84) over Kure, March 19 1945? :greenf:

Interested to know if that's "old" mesh or Rhumbas new... Japan is a problem area in plenty of my installs, even some of the old FS mesh was pretty screwed up.:angryfir:

Actually it's stock.I just tried some old mesh I had and the ships and docks are under ater,LOL.Which is the new Rhumba mesh for that area? I have most of his mesh but haven't used it yet.
 
I put in Rumbas new mesh and made a few adjustments to Harbor.Everything looks fine now.

I have no plans for attacks on Japan right now.As a matter of fact I'm taking a break from mission building for awhile.I may just keep making more ports for CFS2 in the Pacific.
 
I just uploaded my ports.There are 7 of them and a GSL for Hankow.

Ports are.

In China

Canton

Hong Kong

In Burma

Rangoon

In Indochina

Haiphohong

In Japan

Kure in 1945 and it includes a layout file for ships

Also ther is Truk for Uncletgt new scenery and Rabaul.

Hopefully Rami approves it soon.Sometimes if it's not Europe or the Med. He gets forgetful.

Talon,

Outstanding work, I approved it immediately. This is a great addition for the Pacific! :salute:
 
Magic Talon!

Thank you so much!

Exactly when I was starting to think that CFS2 had come the other way around since back in the early days, when Europe was scenery-poor! The PTO was starting to suffer a little with all the GSL work being done in the ETO, but this will balance it.

Great job! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

Cheers!

fantastic, i have hoped for some good ports for Japan for years. thanks so much for doing this talon! hope your cruise home goes well..or went well if you have already dropped anchor

looks good, Can I assume you are using the stock coastlines for Manila Bay? f so, I have a Manila layout that I used several times in the Essex CV-9 campaign. You can pirate what you want from it if you want... piers & wharves, storage facilities, fuel tanks etc, using mostly LW, Pen32Win, XavierB and Wolfi objects.. You'd have to move the AA guns and ships if you want to make it a GSL though.
 
Lookin' good Al. They'll certainly liven up those locations.

Several years ago, I made some standard dock and warehouse facilities and by making layout files of them, I can reuse them as needed and as they are pretty generic, I can fit them into my missions using the Mission Builder quite easily. While they don't match the detail of your specific scenery files, they are easy to use and can fit into many of those un-named or bypassed harbors of the Pacific.

Like Shadow Wolf, I'll be glad to send you my layouts and you can pillage and burn them as you see fit. They are all set up for the stock MS coastlines, but as layout files can be manipulated as far as lat-long and axis, that shouldn't matter when used with Rhumba's mesh.

I think my next layout project will be to try and replicate "Big Bay" on the north side of Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu). Many of the ships participating in the Solomon's campaign were repaired or replenished there. I was there on an assignment in the 90s, but there wasn't anything left of the facility. I'll base that layout on the floating docks that Psullykeys made for us several years ago.
 
When you get a chance please send me your layout files.I think it's about time to populate the Pacific.

I have layout files for everything I've done also.

Eventually I will get tp Tokyo Bay.

Al,

Allow me to pass along my congrats and encouragement for taking up the mantle and doing some harbors and facilities for the Pacific. Given the roots of CFS2, I'm sure that this will be well-appreciated, and I'm happy to see others donating their talents and resources to help you in this effort.

Carry on! :salute:
