I think that tank is from CFS1. Maybe the texture was not ported over to CFS2.

Good evening,

Yes, because it has an asterisk next to it, that's how you can tell it is a CFS1 object. :medals: Use the CFS2 version and save yourself a headache.

Rami & others

Is there a wishlist of ground objects that are needed for CFS2 - already have some extras I would like to see - but is there a semi-official this is whats needed still ?
Pen32Win's work is excellent, would be nice if expanded to other equipment. Quite a few vehicles have been done for CFS1 by Edmundo Abad (available at FlightSim.com).

Well the CFS1 texture is in CFS2. So somthing is wrong from MS.

To all other:
He may want to use that tank since it is the only one that has a rocket launcher on top.

It uses the sherman.bmp and the T34.bmp. Do you have the T34.bmp in your main texture folder?

Yes I have this texture, but I try 2 things

1)I replace my texture for your texture
2)I convert the texture to dxt1


nothing has been!
The problem is that the object has not designated a texture, or microsoft have made a mistake of designation or name of texture file.
all have this same problem?

Hi All,

Well, I had to check it out. BC was close.
The model calls for Sherman.r8 and T34.r8 texture files. Of course these files do not exist.
They are missing in CFS1 also.

So, what I did was make copys of the Sherman and T34 .bmp files and made them .r8 files using Martin Wrights R8 converter prog.
The textures do not line up right and there are still some missing spots.
For the most part the tank is Green. Best that I can do anyway.

Just copy the two new textures into the CFS2 texture folder.

MS farked something up with CFS2. The tank works fine in CFS1. It use a bmp and not a .R8 in CFS1.

B24 Guy. You have to flip the image if and maybe Mirror the image if you use Wrights R8 converter. I could be wrong. I gave it up qiucky when I found a set of .R8s that any paint program could open and save just fine. I than only used Wrights R8 converter so I could open files than I saved them in the paint friendly fromat that I could reopen with PSP6.

Below is a zip that has the image the right way. The only thing I can't fix is the tracks. MS messed up the texture mapping.

CFS1 Library objects in CFS are not quite the same as the CFS1 Library objects in cfs2. I have mentioned this previous in another thred. It is mostly the texture names in the bgls are not spelt the same as the texture sheet.
