Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

Stupid question or help stupid

Hello All,
I am attempting what I assume is quite simple.
I ran across the USS Stennis CVN74 that will work in Mission Builder
A few texture changes and some renaming of files will turn it into the
USS Intrepid to work in the Mis Builder for the Viet war project......

I have placed the original and the converted side by side in the MS
just next to my static version in the Tonkin Gulf scenery, I of course
can land on my original but the two placed in MIs builder I fall thru the
decks......before I waste any more time I thought I better ask.....
If I place a ship in Mis builder is it non hard surface until it is placed
into an actual mission ??

Being more of a mud pusher and not really a mission writer, just figured
I may ask and save myself a lot of frustration.

Any input is much appreciated,

Dave
 
Well UT, same results..........

Maybe there is something about carriers in mission builder I do not yet know.
I placed three in MS and in free flight I fall thru the decks.

The following is for anyone that cares to test and tell me what I am "not" doing
properly. All and any effort is appreciated.

I'm going to guess that FF and QC will ignore the deck. Seen this with adding extras to DP for ground objects that are placed by GSL. AC deck logic works in MB just fine.

View attachment raidersVol1.zip

Can someone test this aircraft and see if is just me or my old rig.

Much appreciated,

Dave

UPDATE:

I think I have found the problem, it is somewhere in the panel and sound files.

I've decided to make a new CFS2 install for this superb Vietnam series. It's been a while since I've played CFS2 and I've forgotten how to get rid of that annoying start up video. I have change this in the CFG: (ShowMovie=0) but I still get it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Try this stoney, it has been a long time for me, but This in my Cfg file

To simply skip the opening movie once it loads, click your
mouse anywhere on the screen. To disable the movie
permanently, add a line to the [MAIN] section of your
COMBATFS.CFG file that reads: ShowLogo=0

Hope it works,

Dave
 
Thank you so much for the missions BC. I am adapting them now to the Updated scenery.........

I had a problem with the A1-E it would freeze on screen and I traced it to the gauges...so I am working up a new panel

Well thank you stoney, BUT I can take very little credit.
That goes to all the contributors, researchers, artists and on and on.
Way yo many to type in this thread.

I see you are looking for a AI B52, could that mean possible missions
for the project in the future ?

Dave
 
There is a LOT of talent involved in an endeavor like this! I really appreciate what it takes and must give thanks to all involved. Plus, it's nice to be back into CFS2 after a long absence and being an Air Force veteran (1966 - 1972) I had to give a Vietnam campaign a go. Well done! I needed a '52 to edit a mission that came with the additional D/Ls.
