Rami,
Throwing something else into the pot.....
Been working on this for a while. In Fs9 looks fairly good, I'm just getting to grips with how to make damageable items/building etc, so I can take it into CFS2. I don't know if the poly count will be prohibitive, we'll see.
Cheers

ps. The Wellington's getting near(er)!

Hi all,
Nice to see the subpens being used.
Sketch up models have to many polygons, but good to use as a modeling template.

Your MB skills are getting better and better! And with this you get some well deserved credit to all those who flew Lightnings in the ETO.
I´m fiddling with some KG40 missions and I can´t get passed the basics!! I´m having some trouble with the airbase. I get CTD all the time. And unfortunately my CFS2 t¡me is very limited!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to give Rami and Cap'n Krunch errrrrrrrrrrrr . . . Kurt a big THANK YOU for all the campaign work they have been doing. I wish I could hammer out a campaign, or just a mission as quick as you guys do.
I have been a little absent lately because I wanted to do something I haven't done in a couple of years, and that is to fly all the way through a campaign. I have finished the first 10 mission of the Captain's new "Defense of the Republic" campaign, but I spent a month setting up a new SCW era install for it. Thanks again for that Cap'n Kurt!

Erufle,
Thanks for saying that. I find more and more that I end up doing about a 50 / 50 split between campaign projects I really want to do, (Frantic / Corpo Aereo Italiano / RAF Vs Regia Aeronautica / 20th Fighter Group, etc.) and ones I feel obligated to update / overhaul for the betterment of the CFS2 community. It's also why I always have multiple projects going on at the same time; it satisfies my severe ADHD. If I get bored with one campaign, I work on another for a while and come back.
It's the "shiny red ball" syndrome.
Also, Talon said to me once that campaign and mission building should be projects that you want to do, and what interests you. I post progress threads and things like that to keep you all informed, but I don't get devastated when I don't get feedback on it. It's just more of a "FYI" principle.

I understand brother
Yes, I can't help but start one project and get distracted by another due to ADHD. I also find myself distracted by tidying up my files in the process. Perhaps this is due to a slight tendency toward comorbid OCD? Isn't it funny how we have begun to describe our personality characteristic in such a way? In our business its very useful if we adjust the way we teach individual students according to these labels, but not all teachers do. OH, I'M DOING IT AGAIN!

RJ or another .dp expert, I need some help...
Hey guys,
Now that I was able to get Tobob's landclass and scenery modifications working properly, I am building sub pens and facilities at St. Nazaire and Trondheim. When constructing these facilities, I am using the building objects found in the La Rochelle scenery package.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=45&id=4071
The problem is that at least a couple of the damage profiles appear to be flawed, in that they do not generate .cdp files. This means that in Mission Builder, I can build the scenery, but I cannot fly over it to test and examine it, because when I try to fly a sample mission where I have the scenery, the mission will not load because it cannot generate the needed .cdp files, so it just sits there and does nothing.
Specifically, it's the tb_build3.dp that gives me the most trouble, though I'm wondering if there are others as well.
Can anyone help me here?

Yes, so I can test the scenery before making it into GSL. I did not use the wharf this time...it's TB_build3 that will not generate a .cdp file.
I tried running the mission in "normal" mode...same result.

Rami,
I recently found some problems with these objects (some won't load into Model convertor X) and will send an updated version ASAP. The DP's very well could be messed up, that was an early project. I will take a look at that as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience fellas.
P.S. Rami in another thread you mentioned a dry dock object. If I were supplied some info maybe I could help out there.

Good evening,
Misson, here are a couple more for you...
"title_string"=Operation Mezzagosto - Aerosiluranti from Sardinia
"summary_string"=Attenzione, i piloti! This morning's attack was met with intense opposition, so we are sending out our Sm-84s & Cr-42 Falcos with two flights of escort fighters. You'll compose part of this escort group. Let's cover the torpedo-bombers and allow them to make a successful strike, & then bring them safely back home!
"objective_string"=The first Italian torpedo strike started at midday on 12 August, 1942. Two formations of five Sm-84 torpedo planes, along with eight bomb-laden Cr-42 Falcos hit the Pedestal convoy, and were escorted by fourteen Mc-202 Folgores. However, the enemy anti-aircraft fire & enemy fighter patrols proved very strong, and the attacking planes were unable to score any hits.
"intelligence_string"=Your flight of Macchi Mc-202s will be responsible for guarding the Sm-84 torpedo bombers striking the convoy, while the other flight of Mc-202s will guard the Falcos. Near the convoy, you may find it helpful to gain altitude and attempt to avoid heavy anti-aircraft fire. Make sure that you deflect any British fighters away from the Sm-84s, especially during their attack run. Buona fortuna!
"player_aircraft_name_string"=Macchi Mc-202 Folgore
"airfield_string"=Sardinia - Decimomanu
"title_string"=Operation Mazzagosto - Morgen Angriff der Dreifingers
"summary_string"=Kameraden, herhören! We'll follow up our evening greeting last night with another raid this morning. Our commanders have decided that their merchant ships are the primary targets. Since enemy fighter opposition has been light, we won't have an escort for this mission. Get in, pummel the enemy vessels, and return to Sardinia! Viel Glück!
"objective_string"=The initial strike during the morning of 12 August was undertaken by nineteen Ju-88s. These Ju-88s were unable to secure hits on the Pedestal convoy, although there were a few near-misses. The enemy fighter cover was intense over the convoy, a total of eighteen Hawker Sea Hurricanes as well as six Fairey Fulmars were scrambled at once in order to intercept the Ju-88s.
"intelligence_string"=Your flight of Dreifingers will lead the other two flights to the fleet, where you'll focus on sinking the freighters, a raid later in the day will handle the enemy carriers. We want to make sure that the British fleet has nothing left to protect! Hals und Beinbruch!

Hello again,
Misson, here is another one for you...
"title_string"=Operation Mezzagosto - Germany draws first blood
"summary_string"=Aufgepasst, kameraden! Today, you will be part of the escorting armada bringing nearly forty Ju-88s to attack the Pedestal convoy. The Junkers will be pummeling their freighters, & your task is to keep their tails clear, engaging any enemy fighters and allowing the bombers to do their jobs unmolested. Hals und Beinbruch!
"objective_string"=Immediately following the second torpedo assault, thirty-seven Junkers Ju-88s attacked the Pedestal convoy at altitude, from between 3,000 and 4,000 meters. Some of the bombs hit the merchant vessel Deucalion, the first aerial success of the day, and there were many more near-misses. A few minutes later, two Re-2001 fighters, each specially loaded with one 640 kg AP bomb, scored two hits on HMS Victorious, but the aircraft carrier suffered only slight damage, thanks the armoured deck.
"intelligence_string"=After leaving Decimomanu, proceed due south and climb to meet up with these Ju-88s between three and four thousand meters. As you head toward the Pedestal convoy, be wary of enemy fighter patrols and make sure to keep any fighters away from the bombers. Maintain your height over the convoy, we do not want to lose fighters to anti-aircraft fire. Make sure to get all the bombers back to Sardinia safely. Viel Glück!

I have my Folgores ready!! In fact perhaps before your campaign release, I could make a update for that Macchis , specially about air files. They must be more easy to manouver them. What Folgore do you think to use?
Cheers,
Mario
