Hi Tobob
Looking great, I can take the side docks off the model if you like. or do you think they look ok and will be alright. Are you enjoying the project,I am.
Talk to you soon

Here's some more progress. I'm enjoying this project and have gained a ton of respect for g2k and anyone who uses it! :salute:

Hopefully I can finish up this week and I will send the files to Robert John to test. So get your missions ready!!!:jump:

p.s. Robert John, I like the side docks and think they add a lot to the scenery! I say keep 'em!

Hi Tobob
Looking nice.
Does the water go right up to the edges of the docks, I say this because on the close up screnshot it seems the water needs to be wider so all pens have water to them.
I'll look into doing the entrance to the lock.
Your screenshots looks good.
Robert John.
 
Robert John,

Yeah I'm trying to get everything to fit correctly. It's a pain!

I was going to ask you about the locks, if you send me a scale model I will move the land accordingly.

To Tobob
I will work on this, the bad news is life got a bit busy for me so cfs2 will be a bit slower, so to build the project I will need about two weeks.
Any animations you can think of let me know.
Looking good.
Robert John.

Hey guys,

I am seriously impressed with your work. Give me the tools, and I will modify my missions to accommodate your creations. Well done!
 
View attachment 32135Hi Here is my La Rochelle Subpens and the sluisbunke. I a question. Do I up load the model with swing bridge closed or open or both.
I am thinking about CAT animation but have to find out more about this. I can do a long animation by tweeking the asm code so the bridge swings open one minute stays open one minute close one minute stays closed one minute. what do you thike is the best.
Robert John
 
I think a swinging bridge would be fabulous Robert John.

By the way, what was the purpose of the subway? I notice St Nazaire has one as well.
 
Due to a difference in water level when using the lock the subs would be vulnerable to attack.
The sloping sides of the bunker give the bunker better protection from bombs.
The project is getting more interesting and If the response is here I will put more objects in ie Torpedo bunkers and with help from Tobob more landclass.
Robert John
 
I have done a cat animation but looks like I will have to take the bridge away from lod_090 and below. works good for drivable boats and subs. Still experimenting with cat.
Robert John

Its Working better than I thought it would. A bit slow to start looks really nice.
I might do some cat animation trains.
Robert John
 
Hi Sc
Wrong cat.
The cat tool kit I used is on the fsdevelopers forum is cat2K (The Conditional Animation Tool) (CAT) for fs2002 not fs2004.
I an still looking at the program.
The locks are closed at the start, wait a while and the gates open, its good for boats and subs.
When I am flying, the lods are close together when it get busy and like the lods a bit jumpy.
Have you got time to do the dps etc for La Rochelle subpen and sluisbunker.Thinking of torpedo pens around La Rochelle, and maybe a train on tracks as ordinary scenery, as the tracks has to be laid on location, hills ,cuttings, and bridges. Do yo know a good ground surveyor LOL
