[Hiede]

Thanks UT

Looks great and will be put to good use.Micheal said he may redo The Marianas by Talon also which covers all the strikes on the Islands,not just by Enterprise.

Progress update on the gsl scenery.

Saipan is done. I ended up creating a new "apron" & "ramp"objects for the seaplane base at Tanapag. They are only 0.5m high, so it gives you more options when placing objects on them than the existing 3m high piers.

 

[UncleTgt]

I had to get creative with Tanapag port. It's too big & the shoreline follows the post-war reclaimed land area. But that would mean redrawing all the LWM polys, & I'm not going to spend time doing that...

 

[UncleTgt]

Some shots of the incomplete strip at Marpi, at the North end of Saipan

 

[UncleTgt]

The west coast towns of Charan-Kanoa & Garapan...

 

[UncleTgt]

Aslito - plenty of hard-to-find AA revetments in the surrounding countryside...

 

[UncleTgt]

Started on Tinian Island, the airstrips at the north end (Ushi) are done...

 

[Worthless]

Many thanks UT. No hurry from this quarter. I'm still exploring all of your PNG stuff.

 

[UncleTgt]

Tinian is now completed.

 

[UncleTgt]

Moving South, Rota island is also done.

 

[UncleTgt]

Guam is done...

 

[UncleTgt]

North to Pagan, then onto the Bonin Islands

 

[UncleTgt]

Dialled back the concrete piers & jetties in the Bonins, meant I had to make some rocky breakwater objects. Looks a bit more "rustic" instead of "industrial" now...

 

[Captain Kurt]

Helluva project. I especcially like the boulder riprap breakwater

Another very interesting project! Great pictures!

This is really impressive. Your scenes are better and better, which seems impossible.
Many thanks

Finished the gsl for Iwo.

Maskrider's original gsl was pretty accurate as regards JAP gunpits & defensive positions, I just embellished & added some sparse areas of foliage to the greener bits of the island.





THe pic above shows the sulphur refinery in the centre, with the small sugar refinery rear leftside, & Chidori 2's radio station rear rightside.

Just the package assembly & readmes to do ...

It's been many months since I've posted at SOH as I have been without a rig for my favorite passtime, but had to post my appreciation here UT. You are a CFS2 artist my friend. I hope to be back in the game with a new rig soon, and your scenery updates and enhancements will be the first thing I Check out.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks UT,

There are already missions done for the area that will just have to be adjusted to the new scenery.

Maybe the whole Marianas Campaign will be redone by my son.
