Vietnam for CFS2 Beta Release

ND...

...for your ships, don't omit that there were numerous Gearing and Sumner class DD's that were FRAM I or II and a few Fletchers thrown in that comprised the Yankee station escorts and fire support. Some also were original WW2 configs.
 
Hello Fibber,
It has been a while since we talked, I continue to add ships and more... Most are just static scenery, although landable.
I am working on learning more GSL scenery, Your input or scenery contributions will be much appreciated.

Super,duper,fantasticum, I have been looking forward in a lot of years to fly in "Nam",It is difficult to get used to need 50 miles to make a turn with a Phantom especially when used to fly a Mustang or Hurricane, but it is big thrill to hunt the MIG's ower a nice landscape. Thank You for a fantastic campaign.

Dave,

sorry for this late reply, but a million thanks for this Vietnam for CFS2!!!!
:applause: :applause: :applause:
I had dowloaded all of the materials you have posted in your Free Flight Site at the beginning of this year. I am a greedy collector of everything that was ever developed for CFS2.

Am I all set or did you update something in the last months, that I should download again?

Cheers!
KH

Hello Kelti,

Yes ,
Please re download the "To Main Scenery" Folder and the "VNChulai " Folder
Let all over write, sorry about that but I found some texture conflicts, so
each file must be replaced.

http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/Vietnam_Projects.htm

Being I know your expertise,
Please note that the Aircraft required have had the DP updated to match the New Config File.

Many of the others have not:

[MISC_DATA]
unit_family=1
category=1
allegiance=1
max_group_size=8
min_speed=480
cruise_speed=912
max_speed=1450
min_alt=150
cruise_alt=36667
max_alt=54000
crew=2

Allegiance 1 = US Air Force
Allegiance 2 = US Navy
Allegiance 3 = NVA

This is very important to mission writers.

I hope for your input soon Sir,

Dave

Thank you again, sir!

The above means an entirely new country.cfg, wiped clear of all stock references. Roger!

I guess ship dps will also have to reflect the new allegiance assignments.

Cheers!

Killer,

Please report any thing that you think may need to be addressed, your input is appreciated,

Dave
 
Are you using USN for USMC aircraft?
I called in a lot of Navy and Marine aircraft on close air support missions.
Used a bunch of OV-10 Broncos as spotters with white smoke markers for the Cobras, F-4s and A-7s.

Devildog73,

Yes, USMC is navy, and Army falls under Air force,
Please note that the " non_required Aircraft" on my site have not had the DP file updated to the new Country Config. file.

Your input is very much welcomed, I Salute you Sir for everything you did in the Forgotten War.

You can always contact me direct DEA14u@aol.com

Soon to the updates section

Look for the Song Dong Nai River, I hope by Monday..A really great addition to the Bien Hoa area.

Great VFR scenery for Helo Pilots that only had maps from the coast to Saigon and anywhere after.

Mission writers should really like this, I hope.

All VTP type scenery with some GSL type to follow.

Dave
 
Are there any ordinance missing that you'd like to have? Other then the Cluster bombs. Which are proving somewhat tricky with regards to pics and specs.

John,
I found some clusters that I forgot I had, BUT...please do not laugh at me, is there an easy way ( something that an old redneck like me could actually do ) to take some of Al Simms .api macros
and turn them into destroyable GSL objects ?

I have gone thru most of the tutorials on the free flight site but to no avail.

Just gotta make a spoiler tweak to the F-8 models and alpha out the modeled weaps for dp add-ons, but everything else is done, including dp.

These screen shots are rather enticing lol. Look Forward to flying the last gunfighter.

I think there is a way but not an easy one. I forget right off hand what is needed. need to make them into bgls. then you can add a destroyable model using Allens .bat set.

dasuto,
It looks like you have a wild weasel setup. Looks like a shrike with MK82s. Don't forget to out turn those SAMs.

You'll need an A-6 to do some Iron Hand. Brings some F-4s to cover your Six if you do. You wouldn't want a mig joining in. That reminds me, someone has to do the 'Flight of the Intruder' "Downtown" mission. The book version, not the movie.
 
Vietnam for CFS2 Beta

Fire season is mostly over now, so the EOC call center has been stood down and I'm free to get back to simming. BH, what do you need in the way of photos and specs? I'll dig into my ordnance manuals and see what I can turn up for you.
