Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

Apparently I'd already started one. Didn't realise I'd gotten that far. Its based off the real horse model. It seems the rider was the bigger issue. The Real Horse has 660 polys. BSK has 340ish. The rider that I'm working with has 1000. So LODs will be needed.

Does anyone still have contact with the Virtual Navy guys, James or Bruce...?

I have sent a couple of emails to Bruce (end of January - mid Feb.) but have had no reply.

..... He might be on the mother-ship or may have returned to his home planet....:saturn:
 
Thanks Dirtman,
Same here..Pm'd him with my email
No go on this end..............
I would think after all these years , plus the
fact it is required for any missions created, I
may release it on the FFS..otherwise people
may have to search forever to find it. ???
If he tells me otherwise I will remove it...??
 
my 2 cents

I completely understand your reasons... you are correct.

I agree with the principles:
- That all freeware work is uploaded to SOH for the use & enjoyment of the entire CFS2 community.
- That it remains the property of the author and thus he alone has the right to if & where it may be distributed.
- If distributed, that the items must retain the full documentation as per the original author.

Due to website closures, site hackings & damaged servers; it makes allot of sense to keep the donated items on more than one website.

The VN items are for Vietnam so I seriously doubt that James & Bruce would mind.

.... and if they don't like it ... I'll send the "Irish Mafia" over to their house to convince them ... :a1089:
 
Check yer email Dice

Roger that - "Care package" sent with some ideas too. :applause:

- includes two missions for carrier takeoff & landing qualification on the USS Coral Sea :redfire:
 
After re reading the readme, I can release this, I have all perms from Lindsay
on all his work from a few years back..........So:

Project update:
I am hoping to release Thanh Hoa ( or at least part of it)
this weekend. Creating the required objects takes up a lot of time.

 
These objects will be needed for Thanh Hoa scenery:

Sorry, I got slowed down a bit with my real life;
more scenery coming soon. I hope to release a
portion of the Thanh Hao area this weekend.
 
Not really sure what I did, But I really messed up my install.
I am trying to avoid an entire reinstall, I can not even open
the sim or mission builder. I hope to be able to get back to the
project by to Tuesday...I hope.
 
Yo Dice;

You work WAY too hard bro ... maybe the PC & CFS2 want a short vacation eh?

Rule #1 ... don't freak out and do something stupid. Try the simple poo 1st.

Open the main CFS2 folder .... is the cfs2.exe there?

Right/click it and select: "Run as Administrator"
 
Thanks dirt, But no go...
Working on the dreaded reinstall, Hope to be back to the project soon.
At least I did not lose the Scenery or newer objects that I was working on.
 
OK, I think I am Back up and running again.

Here is to celebrate:

Well I was wrong, So I have copied all the important stuff and reloading
the whole computer, seems I have been hacked ?? When I try some of
the FFS stuff " I Get , HA HA ", ATT&T has fixed that problem with the
FFS and also insured that the downloads are safe.

The project will be back in a day or two...........
 
Yes, Yes, Yes,

Finally all is fixed, look for updates soon.

Plus to all the artists on the Free Flight Site:
I have verified the D/L counts etc..
Please report any other problems you may find on your pages.
