Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

[No Dice]

Very happy to hear from you Blood Hawk.. hope the house is going as planned..very happy for you both.

I think I finally figured out the problems with my attempt to update the Ham Rong Rail mission scenery.

Do not have CellGrid2 on while placing a flatten using FSTFlatten in the SEA area...? I know that
sounds odd, but just trust me.......I had no problem with my Alaska scenery, but it has been a real
pain figuring this out for a while. Alaska here: http://thefreeflightsite.com/Projects_1.htm

Plus, when using flattens..always include them in your scenery folder before adding GSL scenery.

For any new or up and coming developers, CELLGRID and FSTFlatten can be found here:
http://thefreeflightsite.com/Design.htm

Now that I have gotten the flattens working, I hope to release the Ham Rong Rail update soon.

sorry I've been away. I'm now working on another room of the house. This one I have to insulate and sheetrock before it gets any colder. So I'll be in and out over the next few weeks. If you need me you can PM me. I'll try to check me messages once a week or so.

It will be nice to have you back John, I have a few requests that I need help with.

I found I needed a few more road bridges for the Project so:

Well, the house is going. I'm still trying to finish the room so I can Sheetrock it. Running up the old Home Depot bill. yeah...

So what do you need help with? I can't do much right now. Every waking minute is spent on the house or at work. There hasn't been OT for nearly two months. Which doesn't hurt my feeling much.

If its something small just let me know. I'll do what I can.

 

[No Dice]

John, I will send an Email.
The stones walls in many of your pics? are they library objects? I could sure use them.
Plus, I attempted with no weeoo to extend the road object like you did with the rail tracks
I sure could use one at least twice the size.

Working on the Ham Rong Rail scenery and getting to carried away with it, I only hope that
a mission writer will see it and make several missions.

 

[Blood_Hawk23]

The stone walls are part of the aerocrate scenery. You'll have to ask Gary for perms. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

As for the bridges. Have you exported the models into GMax? I would try that. Then separate the ramps ends and make clones of the spans. Then just connect it all back together.

Almost finished with the room. Its taking me long because of the work I've had to do.

'til Later,
John

As far as the stone walls, found and fixed the missing textures on those.
I will upload soon.

All bridges are done and uploaded, working on the extended roads now.

Found my problem , was not a problem...it was a max on the MDL names file,
I now have two mdl name files..

To bad you are so far away, I pride myself on floating sheet rock. I am
my self proclaimed greatest.

 

[No Dice]

I required some stone fences for the project.
Found these by Gary, corrected the textures that only went down
half of the reverse side.

a lot of time.

I needed to better match the rail tracks with the Rail Bridges,
so based on Johns extended tracks I made some modifications
and textures.

Quick Question to all and any:

Can I add the FS2002 "smoke system" Line into my Config file ?
IE:
[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=0,-10.86,-5.28, fx_C123box.fx ///0,-10.86,-5.28, fx_C123pig.fx

I am attempting to add cargo and Paratroopers to the C123 below..

Easy to add the the aircraft config, that is not a problem, but no way to drop them.

Or should I try adding them to another area that exists ??

 

[No Dice]

UP Date to Rara trooper Effects on C123:
Well me being so stupid, I have been attempting them in Free Flight
and of course to no avail...seems effects only work in missions

Well , Allen should have his computer back up and running in a few days
so I only hope to pass that project on to him.

I will try to release the Ham Rong Rail Scenery Part 1 tomorrow
It will include miles of Rails, a few new library objects, coast lines
extended rivers and more..... Not great ..But only Part 1.

 

[Allen]

The XP seem to be just fine but for the Restart option not fulling powering on the system. Everything else is fine with it.

I have CFS2 on my Win 7 laptop. The only prob I have with the laptop is well it is Win 7 so If I have to build aircraft or objects in gMax I have to use DOSBox but I know how to do that. (or did....)

Also CFS2 is kicking 4 fonts not found on start up on the Win7 so CFS2 is going to the default to Arial and runs just fine! The font errors could be from using a "that_must_not_be_named.exe" for all I know.

How are you trying to use the effect? Effects attached to objects are not used when the object is placed by use of GSL.

Allen,
What I was ( maybe will attempt again) is to add fs2002 Parachute effects to the C123 Aircraft.
In Fs2002 you place them in the smoke section of the config file. But I see no smoke system in the
CFS2 config files, so I was attempting to add them to say " the lighting section".. I realized that one
reason I kept failing was because I was attempting to test while in free flight...I do not think the
effects work in free flight...Got frustrated and put the project to the side and went back to some
scenery projects.

 

[Allen]

Not sure how much of the lighting section CFS2 has. That maybe part of the prob.

 

[Blood_Hawk23]

It could be the effect itself.

in the cfg you add the light here...

[LIGHTS]
panel=0.00, 0.75, -0.80, fx_vclight

fs2002 smoke systems don't work. you have to add the smoke effect to the DP file. in which case it will remain in use.

that all I've got.
