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.

Good evening,
Talon and I discussed this and he helped give me a lead. Comparing it to a .dp file that was working, I found this in the original file...

And it worked! A .cdp file now generates, so I can fly and test the scenery.

Good evening,
I finished the work on Saint Nazaire, and turned it into GSL scenery tonight. It's not quite historically accurate, because I put the sub pen in a different place than it was in reality. In addition, CFS2 lacks dry docks as objects, so I did what I could here. All in all, I'm happy with the results. Also, as a favor to kdriver, I included the oil refinery at Donges, France, which was targeted by Allied bombers in World War II.
I should be able to upload the package tomorrow morning.

That's quite the tank farm Rami. I take it you didn't have the flak installed yet. 
Nothing more, nothing less to say!!!

Hey guys,
I just finished updating that two "Battle for Europe" missions that were specifically waiting for St. Nazaire. I just have to write a readme for the St. Nazaire package, and I will upload the scenery package tomorrow. I had a wonderful father's day today!

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery Add-Ons
Description: This is Tobob’s St. Nazaire scenery, with contributions from Rami. This package is for CFS2, & is used in the Battle for Europe campaign. Tobob has graciously donated his coastlines and land class to the project, allowing for me to build GSL scenery for the port & sub pen areas without the interference of detatched coastlines resulting from the interaction between Sander's Europe scenery and Rhumbaflappy's newer world water masks.
Tobob deserves much of the credit for this scenery package, he did more than the lion’s share of the effort, in that the land class, coastlines, water masks, and elevation mesh were all created by him.
A credit also goes to Talon, who walked me (Rami) through analyzing the .dp file to figure out the naming flaw that was preventing the object from generating a .cdp file.
My contribution to this scenery package was the placement of objects from our various designers to create the placements for the dockyards, sub pen, and lighthouses to bring some measure of life to St. Nazaire, and then use those layouts to create the GSL scenery. The additional layout for ship, vehicle, and anti-aircraft gun placement was also created by me.
This scenery package is being released as freeware, and there are no restrictions to its usage so long as it is not uploaded to a site where a member must pay to access it. The campaign that this scenery will be utilized for will be uploaded shortly; this scenery is being released in anticipation of such an endeavor.

Stoney,
Try downloading it again, I included the textures this time. When Tobob sends the files to me, he knows I have the textures, so he doesn't send them anymore. My fault!

Help!
I'm locking up. Every time I approach St. Nazaire, CFS2 freezes. The only way out is Ctl-Alt-Del. I can see the scenery just fine. It looks great, but it won't let me fly over it. Does this sound nuts? I've never had it do this before, with any new scenery. I tried Free Flight 2 times and when that crapped out, then I went into MB and set up a fly over mission. Same thing. Different AC, but same result.
