Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

Capitain Kurt is 100% correct

OK: Back up and running.....
Back to work on DAK TO finally.

Big thanks to all that emailed to help figure out what I did this time.
I ended up going to a back up copy and adding to it. I will keep
digging into it, But it may be possible that there is a limit on DP files ??
or INf objects ??

CFS2 is a Grand Old Lady; but her age limits how many new things we are able to stuff into her.
Looks like VN has her corset just "bursting at the seams" ... and nobody likes a fat old broad .. do they? ... unless she's yer Grandma right?

I ran into this same problem in 2010 with VN4CFS2-v1.5 ... I tried to warn you about it in February ... and now it's biting your ass too.
This is why I stressed that you needed to remove old & unneeded crap.

I started by removing the original (CFS1) British & German objects & .dp's. (a TON of poop)
I removed virtually all the weapons but kept some buildings & vehicles as I thought they might be useful at some point in the future in VN.

I would strongly recommend you keep a COMPLETE list of what you remove and supply it to anyone wishing to build this sim.

Next (when or if needed) I would start removing all the JPN weapons, objects & corresponding .dp's and again leave some buildings & vehicles that may be useful.

- removal of the old weapons will have a secondary effect in that it will limit or completely remove the "friendly fire" problem caused because the country.cfg "allies/axis" configuration is totally screwed up.

I hope you find my suggestions useful. You are doing a GREAT job Dice.
Hats off & full salutes to you, Allen & Blood for your fine work.

You guys are responsible for the all-time GREATEST and LARGEST upgrade in the history of CFS2


- we all have our problems Bro ... due to my malware problem a couple of months ago, I had the reload my o/s.
Thought I'd backed-up the new sim ... I was wrong ... oops .... gotta start again from scratch once again.
Life's can be a bitch ... even if you've already divorced her.......


Thank you Captain Kurt for your insights & comments.
It's nice to know others have an understanding of these limitations & restrictions.
 
Thank you dirtman for the thumbs up,
I saw you posted these picks in the Screens section, please
forward anything you have from your original Viet Project
and I will be over joyed to add it to the project....some may
even have some fun with your beer truck....

The project is open to all and any contributions or contributors.
Mission writers or Mission re-writers are very welcomed. Many of
the original missions do not work very well with the new elevated
scenery, any and all help is more than welcomed.

I am sorry for the delay in the latest release, I attempt to
do a new release on the weekends, But I have been slowed
a bit attempting to help the hurricane ravaged Texans... then
no sooner does my delivery truck return after delivering 46
cases of donated bananas I am now dealing with helping
friends and their family members from FLA. to find hotel rooms
or other places to stay for a while here in MS.

Please look for DAK TO later this week, I hope.
 
Well I may complete DAK TO one day, but we needed these

Hoping that Dirtman may have a little something up his sleeve for us... Dirt was designing his own Viet project long
before we started this one..

and am continuing south down the coast line , minimal gsl scenery will be included along with some more
yet to be released library objects, hope to make the next release by the weekend.
