Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

[Blood_Hawk23]

Getting carried away...

I think I went a little over board with the T-34/85s. Do you remember how I said I was doing 5 models with different paints for the T-34/85s?

Well forget about that number. I've done 21 versions. Technically they are all the same model. Here is what I have finised...


Russia - T-34/85 Model 1944's

"T3485_RU"=Soviet T-34/85 "CYBOBOP" ---- This is Seybolts original texture
"T3485_RU1"=Soviet T-34/85 Model 1944 ---- Plain Texture
"T3485_RU1-lt"=Soviet T-34/85 (Turret Left) ---- Plain Texture with Turret turned left 45deg.
"T3485_RU1-rt"=Soviet T-34/85 (Turret Right) ---- Plain Texture with Turret turned right 45deg.
"T3485_RU2"=Soviet T-34/85 Berlin "CYBOBOP" ---- Late war Berlin Texture
"T3485_RU3"=Soviet T-34/85 Berlin "k339" ---- Another late war Texture
"T3485_RU4"=Soviet T-34/85 Berlin ---- Semi-plain Texture with marks on roof to prevent friendly from Allied ACs.
"T3485_RU4-lt"=Soviet T-34/85 Berlin (Turret Left) ---- Same, turret left 45deg.
"T3485_RU4-rt"=Soviet T-34/85 Berlin (Turret Right) ---- Also the same texture, turret is right 45deg


China - Type 58; Chinese made T-34/85s

"Type58_CN"= Chinese Type 58 "008" ---- As it says. Not sure about the history of this tank.
"Type58_CN2"=Chinese Type 58 1950 ---- Less markings in the texture.
"Type58_CN2-lt"=Chinese Type 58 (Turret Left) ---- Same as the other, has the turret facing left 45deg.
"Type58_CN2-rt"=Chinese Type 58 (Turret Right) ---- Again, same texture but has turret facing right 45deg.


North Korea - Type 58; Chinese built T-34/85s

"Type58_NK"=North Korean Type 58 "215" Seoul ---- North Korean Type 58 that was abandoned after leaving Seoul.
"Type58_NK2"=North Korean Type 58 ---- Plain texture in the same color.
"Type58_NK2-lt"=North Korean Type 58 (Turret Left) ---- Plain texture in the same color except turret is turned left 45deg.
"Type58_NK2-rt"=North Korean Type 58 (Turret Right)---- Plain texture in the same color except turret is turned right 45deg.


North Vietnam - Type 58; Chinese built T-34/85s

"Type58_VN"=North Vietnamese Type 58 1968 ---- For use in the Tet Offencive.
"Type58_VN2"=North Vietnamese Type 58 ---- Has less markings then the other texture.
"Type58_VN2-lt"=North Vietnamese Type 58 (Turret Left) ---- Same texture, turret is turned left 45deg.
"Type58_VN2-rt"=North Vietnamese Type 58 (Turret Right) ---- Same as the other, turrent is turned right 45 deg.

So as you can see I went a little wild with the textures. I'll post pics once I start to test them all.

Hi No Dice,

Your very welcome from me and my part in it.
The team would be,

Phil at Alphasim/Virtavia for allowing the conversion and also the air file. Partial weapons.
Allen from SOH for making the Zuni rockets. Multi-res too! Thamks Allen!
Bearcat241 also from SOH put together a fantastic panel config with CFS2 compatible gauges. Thanks BC!
DaveQ, another SOH member is responsible for the detailed VMF-235 Marine textures. A great improvement IMHO.

A big to all of them.

This crusader is great! brings new life to cfs 2 jets which i luv. cant wait for the B-52 being worked on. BTW, are you using files from the B-52H. I know of one on simviation and the AB squad.

Actually I started with that one, but moved onto converting the Alpha sim version, I am hot near as good as DV and team so it is on hold while I push some mud.

[Blood_Hawk23]

yea, we don't use AB Squads. Atleast I won't.

 

[Allen]

The AB Squads things are just rips of works already fround freely....

Help on a DP question

Hello anyone,
Question about DP files for Library objects. As I slowly learn to add GSL scenery to my sceneries for Vietnam
I have one odd question.( most likely a stupid one)

Vietnam is set up for USArmy=1, USNavy=2, NVA=3

I notice many of the Library objects by Wolfi and others have allegiance=0

Should I change these, such as Warehouses, to one of the above...or will the pilot in a mission still get credit
for hitting an allegiance=0 target in a mission.

I am just a simple mud pusher from Mississippi, so please do not laugh really hard out loud.

Much appreciated,

Dave

Hi Dave,

with the size of the Vietnam Project you churned out I wouldn't call you a "simple mud pusher from Mississippi".... My philosophy tells me there's always something new to learn, every day of our lives, so there are no stupid questions. Just questions.

I remember seeing stock objects with the allegiance= set to 0 as well. I always got credit for anything I was able to hit in CFS2.

Therefore I would tend to think there shouldn't be a problem with that. Allegiance assignments have a purpose when any given object is armed and will fire on you, such as a AA gun, if you don't belong to its allegiance group.
Warehouses, houses, hangars and so on cannot fire back.

Think of Zero as neutral. They change allegiance based on what side of the line they are on. Not sure what happens when they become GSL. Possibly the same.

 

[No Dice]

OK, Thank both of ya'll

A little new to GSL but am puttering along with it.

Thanks again,

Dave

I'm working on the Type 58's a little more. I'm adding the external tanks and doing some LODs. I was going to skip the LODs but I now realise that the model has become more complex. Captain Kurt brought it up about the same time I was considering it. So I've decided to do them.

I'll try to wrap it all up over my three days off.

 

[No Dice]

WOW , Dude that will be great, I can not wait.

Hmnn..............After looking at that post, i said to myself

I may be getting to used to reading my grand children
the Doctor Suess books.

That is ok, you know what I meant John,

Dave

Ps: also note this

this space saved for John Fortin's upcoming work

"I don't like green eggs and ham!", LOL


Well here is a pic. All LODs are finished. I've added some detail. Lets see if you can see it all.

Here is the original though still slightly modified version.

Here is the new one.

I kept the Chassis and Turret as they looked fine. I made a new gun barrel, hull mg, 5 external fuel tanks (can't see them all in this pic), copula and antenna on the turret. Also not seen in these pics are the LODs.

I'm going to remove some of the external tanks for each different model.

This has definitely turned out to be a bigger project then I had planed.

Thank you Dave. I saw it earlier when I went to get the new scenery.

WOW John!

What a nice T34/85!! It will look great on the Ost Front, too.

I wasn't aware it fought in Vietnam as well. It must have been a juicy target for the Spads!

The Chinese built the Type 58. It was in fact the License built T-34/85. The Chinese changed nothing from the Russian versions. It had the same strengths and weaknesses as its Russian counter part.

It was used during the Korean War by both the North Koreans and the Chinese.

China gave the North Vietnamese some Type 58. These were used during the Tet offensive and after the US pulled out from the South.

They were in other conflicts as well. I'm only covering those three.

I'm doing 9 version of the T-34/85. Three of them are meant as lead tanks. I'll mix and match some of the parts and move the turret to different positions to give them some life.

 

[No Dice]

I think it may be easier to find the one thing you did not change, great work sir.
