Theatre Construction Tutorial

I have mailed the Solomons Theatre Source files to Ted for his use as a learning tool.

Ted is a pretty sharp guy and we are hoping that the source files will give him the insight needed to produce a tutorial at a later date that he can upload here on SOH. James has shown some real talent in publishing and maybe he can assist Ted if and when Ted is able to pull it off.

Please be patient as this may take some time.

A Theatre Creation Tutorial would provide the leadership necessary for some of you to create your own new theatres similar to what Ed did with Solomons.

It would be possible for someone to make another Pacific Island Chain, "Russian Front", "Vietnam" or other similar addon with these tools.

Of course when you do build your theatre you can include any of the ETO components as they are all open structure and available to all without restriction. Aircraft will be approved by permission of original authors.

Ted has done so much for all of us and continues to create and give of his talent every day. Ted this one is for you.:ernae:

An Old Tutorial

Just for insight, this old tutorial on CFS3 terrain was posted by Martin Wright.
(thanks!)

http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/cfs3/cfs3sdk.htm

As an item of interest, I noted that starting the terrain mesh from scratch there is an input of the terrains lattitude and longitude. Would this correct the time difference that the PTO suffers from (still set to European time, I believe)? Or is this hardwired elsewhere?

Donny,

Thanks for the link. the advantage Ted will have is the actual source files from Solomons to open up and look at.

Also the lats and longs for Solomons are generating the vastly different pacific time from Europe. However CFS 3 cannot change the night to day as currently we believe it to be hard coded based on Europe GMT.

The problem we have had before was that Ed was the only person that ever built additional theatres (Korea,MAW and Solomons). We are hoping that Ted and others will now be able to follow in Ed's Giant footsteps.
