There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Only had 20 minutes of free time ....
... is all the time I had tonight. 20 minutes is how long the pizza would take to bake in the oven, timed with the 20 minutes my 3 and 7 year old daughters will want to play in the tub before either fighting or splashing the bathroom into a deluvian state. After that, it's dinner time, bed time, and then wife gets home from her work - and it's wife-and-me time.
So - realizing I needed to test this ASAP, I realised I needed to use ADE X. Oh yeah, I don't have ADE installed. Oh yeah, I've never used ADE X for objects before - only EZ Scenery in FS9. Ovens already heating up, I hear the start of an argument upstairs over the new bath toy. The clock is ticking ....

So as you can see, the BTR60 and T-55 are perfect - no issues whatsoever - anround the wheels or anywhere else. The BRDM, for some reason, was rendered to a huge scale. It should have been a clue when it appeared in ADE as a giant yellow box 200 ft long (in scale to the AFCAD) - hey - with me, it's either quick or accurate - never both - sometimes, neither. While I'm curious as to why it was placed at this scale "out of the box" - I know in ADE, I could have scaled it down manually- no biggie.
Seriously - this was a fun exercise - forced me to figure out ADE X, tested these superb objects - and now made the creation of a simple little Cuba '62 a mere matter of finding the time. I may sub in Ian Elliots Bloodhounds as temp sit-ins for SA-2s and such, or wait until you do these - but clearly, you've done the hard work Steve (and team) - and implementing them will be fun and easy.
So a huge thanks!!

Results:
- 2 min to download and install ADE.
- 5 min to figure out how to load the objects into the ADE library.
- 2 min to figure out why the library won't show the object in the placement menu. Restart ADE - there they are.
- 2 min to load FSX and go to Havana Marti MUHA (yeah, I know you FS9ers are laughing at me - 2 words for you: moving carriers. Leave me alone!
) - 1 minute to find a good spot abeam the main runway to drop a couple test objects - in this case, 1 of each of the three models. Save and compile. Exit FSX.
- 2 minutes to reload FSX and go back to check. Nothing. Why???? I can smell the pizza. Upstairs, I the yelling has turned to screaming. At least they're both screaming, so nobody's getting drowned. Crap - I forgot to load the folder I created for the scenery objects I created under Addon Scenery. Arrgh - exit flight, add scenery object.
- 2 minutes to reload FSX - go to last flight ... here is what I got ...

- 2 minute for screenshot and posting here ...
- 2 minutes to spare - which is how long I need to mop up upstairs ...
- BEEP - pizza's ready - good to go!
