Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

Dave, the zuni rockets and pods are currently available and do-able via CFS2 downloads, but you'll need to have someone create the minigun pods from scratch because no such thing exists at this time. Once done, you'll need to separate two dp versions, one with rockets and one with rockets and guns. As you may already know, this is because the guns will be set by permanent gunstations in the dp, so even without the visible gunpods, they'll still be active. The gun sound may also be a touchy issue. The 7.62mm mini Gatling sounds more like a burp gun that your standard CFS2 .303, 13 mm and .50 cal machine gun sounds.

The sounds may be fixable as CFS2 dose have a number of gun sounds that I think are unused. The sound start with ai_**. I only know of the ai_40gun.wav being used for ships. That would leave 7 more sounds free to use.

Its all fixable by replacing a rarely used stock gun sound with a modern Gatling sound. For example, since all 30 cal. aerial weaps were obsolete by the time of Korea and all of my WW2 Allied/Axis planes are removed which carried these weaps, for my Korea and Modern Era installs i renamed an A10 cannon (GAU8-Avenger) sound file to that of the .30 cal (.303) gun. To be exact, this involved renaming it three times to the following and overwriting the originals:

CAN40.WAV ----> 303GUN.WAV
XCAN40.WAV ----> xGUN303.WAV
XCAN40.WAV ----> AI_30GUN.WAV

So whenever i construct a new dp for any modern aircraft with a rotary cannon, i use the .303 guns option in DPed and i get the GAU8-Avenger sound. For a 7.62 minigun i would probably look around for something with a lighter sound than the Avenger.

You're welcome Dave.

Robert John and I are presently building Rome and I've already pressed one of the bridges into service.

Are the downloads on your site available here at SOH as well? If not, it's not a problem - I'll just direct users to your site to get all the necessary scenery items.

Hello Sir,
I will have to say...most are not BUT some may be........
If the artist uploaded it to the SOH it would be, but other than that probably not.

Dave
 
Anybody ever ran across this problem ?
Working on updating the Ham Rong Rail Bridge mission scenery, But it seems that
FS Flatten will not make a flatten for me? I have had problems in the past with
raising scenery but never lowering. I see no reason why I would have any conflicting
scenery in the area.......... As I post this I think I will attempt the old way and see if
I can hand do the flatten???

Otherwise I will have wasted a week of spare time and just toss this mission project.

Thank you all again for your support with this project.

What am I doing? Some one needs to re-boot me. I've lost track. LOL :biggrin-new:

Get me some drawings and measurements and I'll make what ever you need.

The CH-47s are finished. I just need to do the Info pics and write up the readme. I'm still working on the Railroad tracks.

As far as weapon packs go, I'm working on the sonobouys for the S-2 Tracker. I'm going to make the both horizontial and vertical drop. It will be nice for those sub hunting missions.

I can add in a 7.62mm gun pod and the 20mm. If you can find the info. I don't have the time for research right now. I think there is a way to make it a self contained weapon. I have to look at some of my archives. I'll get back to you on it.
 
Started work on the C-1 Trader again. It will take some time to re-gig things as the engines and tail are not the same as the S-2
 
Well I have been working on the Ham Rong Rail Bridge and area, But I can not get the flatten bgl's or
even the flatten switches to work in the area... One last try today...them I will scrap this area and
move on to something more productive.:banghead:
 
Think I have the C-1 done. Will have to check ingame... Had to use one of Milton Shupe's C-1 Trader or something of his from the C-1 Trader family as ref to see how the tail was made as I coundn't find a shot of the under side.

Got it Allen, Can not try it out yet...Looks like I may be loosing my comp.

Screen keeps blinking to black screen every 20 seconds or so, replaced Monitor, no joy

Going to do a little trouble shooting today..........

May have to be loading up a New Rig...sure gonna miss my XP........sucks
 
Before you go that far. Check for any thing loose both on the outside and inside. Look for any dirt in the ports and pull each chip out and re-set it. If you have an integrated graphics card maybe time to get an dedicated graphics card.
 
Allen, thanks for the advice...
I will try that Saturday..As far as our email yesterday, I ended up with the one
that you really did not recommend, after talking to Rep at ReCircuit Refurbishers
I did not take the second one...was not what I thought it was.

So it goes, at least I know someone offers Windows XP comps.

I will return soon....
Dave
 
My worry is no dedicated graphics card (removable). If you can or got the spec from what the integrated graphic card (part of the motherboard and can't be removed) is would be helpfull.

The GeForce 6150LE you have now is a integrated graphic card (non-removed) but I think I could send you the GeForce 6600 I have and I think it would just plug in. Than things are unknow to me. It man need a trip into BIOS to disable the old integrated graphic card.
 
Thank you Allen,
But the power supply says 250 watt max, I think you told me I needed 400 watt.
Plus, I think I am at the end of the road on this comp...too bad
I have to keep waiting for not only the screen to come back from BLACK but then
wait another minute for it to get rid of the strange Jumble that pops up.

It has taken over 8 minutes to finish this, refurbished comp should be here Friday.
Until then I will stay in touch via my Win7 backup laptop.

Please keep the project rolling, I will return.

Dave

Just received my rebuilt XP comp from ReCircuit Computers today.
Fingers crossed, I will start setting it up this weekend.
I only hope that I can be back on the project within a week.
