A little spring cleaning...

[Rami]

Hey guys,

Since I've gotten really far-flung with a bunch of half-started projects, I'm taking a time-out from working on anything new for a couple of months. Shessi's comment about "cleaning out his hard drive" has inspired me to do the same.

I will get back to the Whirlwind and other missions after the first of the year. However, in the interim, I am bringing to light the work of Dominique Herbal, better known to us as Dombral. His works in the French Riviera and Northern Italy are wonderful, and I am taking the files he sent me for France and Italy and working with them to produce something missing from the Mediterranean theatre. (Toulon, Marseille, Genoa, Turin, Venice, etc.)

Following this, I will finish campaign updates using the works of Captain Kurt and Team Daedalus (Tuskegee and Beaus in the Sand are finished, but because they both utilize missions in this region, it's part of the reason to do this) and then release some unpublished scenery enhancements.

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Good for you Rami. If I can help, let me know. :wavey:

[highpockets]

Seinfeld, Rami. do I win something?

[Rami]

Seinfeld, Rami. do I win something?

Highpockets,

I will send you some GSL scenery files I haven't released yet while I am finishing up the scenery. Have a e-mail where I can send them?

[Rami]

Kevin,

If it's multi-lod and destroyable, now we're talking!

[kdriver]

How could you destroy beautiful St Marks Square Andrew! It's for FS2002 and consequently indestructible but it doesn't appear to affect frame rates. I had to remove six of your buildings and include a flatten in the scenery.cfg file.

[Rami]

Kevin,

Of course, you can change the scenery as you see fit for yourself...

En français ...

Bonjour, mon ami! Je espère que vous avez eu un merveilleux Noël, et que vous êtes en bonne santé et de spiritueux. Je vous souhaite rien mais le meilleur au cours de cette prochaine nouvelle année. Vos messages dans le fil marine française me ont rappelé que je avais besoin de vous fournir une mise à jour sur mon avancement des travaux de la Méditerranée GSL.

Les derniers grands domaines que je ai à terminer sont le long de la Côte d'Azur. En ce moment, je travaille sur le secteur Imperia. Je ai terminé Toulon, Savone, Vado Centro, Venise, Marghera, ainsi que gardé les batteries anti-aériennes le long des mêmes zones du littoral, que vous avez inclus.

Je ai aussi contacté Achim pour voir se il peut construire les bases aériennes lesquelles vous avez fourni les mises en page pour. Cela inclut Le Luc, De Cuers, Marseille et Saint-Raphaël. Marseille est le dernier grand projet à faire, puis la suite de la Méditerranée, comme vous dites, sera achevée.

Je ai un couple de ports Je aimerais faire avant de fermer les livres sur le paysage méditerranéen.

Question: Voulez-vous que je vous relâche la suite méditerranéenne séparément comme un hommage à votre travail, ou voulez-vous juste pour inclure un crédit dans mon paquet méditerranéen GSL?

Seing que la façon dont vous faites un excellent travail, je préfère l'ancien et le placer sous votre nom afin que les personnes à SOH peuvent voir ce que beaucoup d'entre nous ont connu depuis si longtemps.

Se il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir ce que vous préférez, mon bon ami.

In English...

Good morning, my friend! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, and that you are in good health and spirits. I wish you nothing but the best during this upcoming new year. Your posts in the French Navy thread reminded me that I needed to provide you with an update on my progress on the Mediterranean GSL work.

The last major areas I have to finish are along the Côte d'Azur. At this moment, I am working on the Imperia sector. I have completed Toulon, Savona, Vado Centro, Venice, Marghera, as well as kept the anti-aircraft batteries along the same coastline areas, as you included.

I have also contacted Achim to see if he can build the airbases which you provided the layouts for. This includes Le Luc, De Cuers, Marseille, and Saint-Raphael. Marseille is the last major project to do, and then the Mediterranean suite, as you called it, will be completed.

I have a couple of ports I'd like to do before I close the books on the Mediterranean scenery.

Question: Would you like me to release the Mediterranean suite separately as a tribute to your work, or would you just like to include a credit in my Mediterranean GSL package?

Seing as how you do such excellent work, I would prefer the former and place it under your name so that people at SOH can see what many of us have known for so long.

Please let me know which you prefer, my good friend.

[Rami]

Good afternoon,

For Porto Maurizio, I've never tried this type of harbor before. I like it. Do you? After this, I have to do the other side...Imperia, Italy.

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Looks good, Rami! :applause:

[gius]

Beautiful landscape.:applause:

[Rami]

Good afternoon,

So I guess it's a hit, eh? Here is what the completed harbor looks like in Mission Builder.

[Rami]

Hello again,

This was my inspiration...

[stuart277]

Hi Rami,

This looks really good!!!:applause::applause:

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you and your family all the best for 2015.

Thank you again for all of your efforts.

Cheers,

Stuart

[Rami]

Stuart277,

Thank you! Here is the other half of the harbor area...the town of Imperia, Italy. I built it up into the low hills, as in real life, and I chose to work without putting in a flatten switch, so it looks more natural.

[Rami]

Good evening,

I finished Frejús - Saint-Raphaël this morning, which leaves Marseille and a couple of airfields to finish up, then Dombral's Mediterranean suite will be completed.

Here are some screenshots...

[Rami]

Hi,

And here are the second package of shots. :applause:

[dombral]

pour ma part je suis actuellement à Madagascar et je n'ai que mon portable pour communiquer , il faut bien faire autre choses dans la vie (entre autre profiter du soleil)
Je ferai le point à mon retour sur ma petie ile de La Réunion

Pour les derniers sceneries de la Méditerranée je vous laisse l'initiative , mes GSL pour Marseille Le Luc Cuers et St Raphael sont une ébauche et ils peuvent très avantageusement etre améliorés .

Bonne année et à bientot

[Rami]

Bonjour,

Certains d'entre vous ont pris connaissance des paysages de la Méditerranée que je ai travaillé sur ces dernières semaines. Permettez-moi de vous éclairer sur pourquoi je ai travaillé sur ce point.

Il ya quelque temps, Dombral m'a envoyé une série de missions et campagnes pour la Méditerranée qui couvrent les missions de 1940 à 1942. La campagne La France Libre couvre essentiellement missions jusqu'à la capitulation de la France le 25 Juin 1940.

Les autres missions inclus dans le forfait sont pour Taranto, Dakar, et l'opération Torch. Opération Torch est couvert de trois côtés; les Français de Vichy, les Britanniques, et la Marine des États-Unis.

En outre, il ya quelques autres «œufs de Pâques», qui je trouve dans ces missions. Je ai également demandé de contribuer Achim quelques aérodromes pour cela, et kdriver a également dressé avec certaines bases d'hydravions.

Il ya plus de quatre-vingt dix missions dans le travail qu'il m'a envoyé. Je suis déterminé à se assurer qu'il obtient le crédit qu'il mérite de démontrer l'implication française dans la guerre.

En raison de certains des avions qu'il utilise que je ne peux pas trouver une utilisation dans d'autres campagnes, ces missions seront probablement mieux servis par la création d'une installation française dédiée.

Alors maintenant vous savez. :wiggle:

In English...

Good morning,

Some of you have taken notice of the Mediterranean scenery that I've been working on these past several weeks. Allow me to enlighten you on why I have been working on this.

Some time ago, Dombral sent me a series of missions and campaigns for the Mediterranean which cover missions from 1940 through 1942. The Free French campaign basically covers missions up until the surrender of France on 25 June, 1940.

The other missions included in the package are for Taranto, Dakar, and Operation Torch. Operation Torch is covered from three sides; the Vichy French, the British, and the United States Navy.

In addition, there are a few other 'Easter eggs' which I am finding in these missions. I have also asked Achim to contribute a few airfields for this, and kdriver has also pitched in with some seaplane bases.

There are over ninety missions in the work he sent me. I am determined to make sure that he gets the credit he deserves to demonstrate the French involvement in the war.

Because of some of the aircraft that he uses which I cannot find use for in other campaigns, these missions will likely best be served by creating a dedicated French installation.

So now you know. :wiggle:

[gaucho_59]

Just a minor correction: "gratuit" means "free of charge"....or "gratis"..... Free France should be "La France Libre"...

G.

[Rami]

Gaucho,

Point well taken. That turned out to be unintentionally funny. My French is getting rusty, which is why I force myself to respond to Dombral in French rather than English. :very_drunk:

[Devildog73]

Gaucho,

Point well taken. That turned out to be unintentionally funny. My French is getting rusty, which is why I force myself to respond to Dombral in French rather than English. :very_drunk:

Had to laugh on this one. While stationed in Stuttgart, working with the NATO French liaisons and being so close to the French-German border I attempted to speak French on several occasions.

My French assistant Liaison Officer would begin to laugh when I unknowingly injected a German word in the sentence I was speaking in French.

I had taken four years of French in school and only two years of German in university. My "mature" brain was not capable of thinking in three languages any longer, so I was thinking in either English or German more than French and then translating in my head. Sometimes the words just came out German when I was trying to speak French. I still understood the good Capitaine when he spoke French, but my mouth just would not go there.

I had the same problem with my German speaking. I could understand what was being said to me, but had difficulty with sentence structure and word usage when speaking back, as Achim knows all too well.

I speak and write GermEnglisch, even after a three year refresher of living in Germany.

I publicly apologize to all the kind German people I offended with my poor use of their language while there.

Truly, if one does not use it, we lose it.

[gaucho_59]

I speak six languages fluently... but I am getting long on the tooth... and I now find myself - sometimes only, luckily - where I can think of some word in five of them but in Spanish, which is my native tongue... At other times... it is the opposite...
Just the other day... talking with my youngest son in NYC who was born in Italy... I was telling him that the only "short pasta" I like is "bow-ties"... which in Spanish is monitas (with the tilde... otherwise is reads "little female monkeys"..lol)... and could not think of the name in Italian (we were conversing in Italian).... and he said: "Dad, it is farfalle or farfalline" (which in Italian means butterflies or little butterflies.. and btw is what they call a bow-tie in Italian)... I had an absolute "senior moment on that one"...

I agree, if we do not use it, we lose it...but, at least with me, I think age creeping up probably makes it even worse... so beware Devildog... you are almost 10 years younger than I... the news for the future is not really auspicious... lol

ciao, ciao

[Wayland]

I very much enjoyed finding out others have the same language problems is have. I studies 4 different languages in school as I needed to satisfy language requirements for University, but they kept dropping the ones I wanted to take. I ended up with 4 years of Spanish and a year each of (in order) Russian, Japanese and finally German. Now days, I can limp along in Spanish with a good dictionary, but the other 3 are lost causes, I don't even remember the alphabets. Eventually, I expect my English to get spotty as it was never that great to begin with. I never did figure out why my high school offered German, Russian and Japanese, but not French or Spanish. Oh, and my Spanish isn't Western Hemisphere Spanish, but Castillian, which is just enough different to get into trouble sometimes.

Ah well, another month and I will be officially retired and I won't have to speak to anyone!

Steve,
I retired this last SEP 1st and I now have the time to actually converse with all my buddies here in the SOH basement.
We are new to Florida and haven't developed friendships yet, so you guys are it for me.
I find that in some ways, I am busier doing what I want to do now that I am retired.

[dombral]

merci de vous intéresser à mon "travail" , vous devez avoir bien de problèmes car mon interpretation de CFS2 est plutot originale .
J'ai aussi refait la plupart des peintures des avions de l'époque que je me propose de uploader . Mais malheuresement j'ai eu de sérieux problèmes d'ordinateur et CFS 2 ne voulait plus fonctionner . Je pense que les problèmes sont en voie de résolution .

je me suis aussi intéressé à la campagne de Syrie et j'ai rajouté quelques missions originales ainsi que bien sur les peintures qui vont avec . Lorsque ma machine sera en état de marche je les uploaderai . Pareill pour les camouflages des navires français ( il est vrai assez rares ) .

pour ce qui est des FFA libres , elles n'étaient pas très étoffées à l'époque et incorporées pour la plupart à la RAF . Mais il y a quelques missions intéressantes en particulier dans désert Lybien contre les Italiens

[Devildog73]

Free French missions over Libya against the fascist Italian forces would be a welcome addition, Dumbral.

It is an area of CFS2 which has not yet been approached as far as I know.

Did they fly RAF aircraft, or French aircraft?

Missions françaises libres sur la Libye contre les forces fascistes italiennes seraient un ajout bienvenu, Dumbral.

C'est une zone de CFS2 qui n'a pas encore été approché autant que je sais.

Ont-ils volent avions de la RAF, ou d'un aéronef français?

[skylane]

This is a very interseting project, as it covers another little-known (at least to me) part of WW2. I'm looking forward to these campaigs!

[Rami]

Devildog73,

The work on Dombral's "Torch" missions has begun...

"title_string"=Operation Torch - Flying P-40s off to Port Lyautey
"summary_string"=Attention, airmen! Today, the 33rd Fighter Group will become the first pilots to land on the African Continent. You'll fly these Warhawks off the USS Chenango and land at the newly-captured airfield at Port Lyautey. From here, we will swiftly thrust eastward to push the Germans & Vichy French out of Africa completely!
"objective_string"=On November 10th, 1942, the stubborn fortress at Port Lyautey was finally overrun & captured. This allowed for the 76 Curtiss P-40 Warhawks aboard USS Chenango to be flown off and land safely at this captured airfield. However, the outgoing tide would prevent needed fuel & ammunition for these aircraft from being delivered until the morning of November 11th by the USS Contessa.
"intelligence_string"=To get off the Chenango intact, use full flaps and WEP, & apply up elevator before leaving the deck. Once airborne, you'll head south-southeast toward the coastline, and then parallel the coast to cover the invasion fleet on the way to the airfield. Don't be too casual over the area, Vichy French fighters & bombers are still active in the region. Make sure to get these Warhawks to Port Lyautey airfield in one piece!
"player_aircraft_name_string"=FDG2_P-40E Kittyhawk
"airfield_string"="Chenango CVE-28"

"title_string" = Opération Torch - Flying P-40 au large de Port Lyautey
"summary_string" = Attention, aviateurs! Aujourd'hui, le Groupe Fighter 33e deviendront les premiers pilotes à atterrir sur le continent africain. Vous volerez ces Warhawks hors l'USS Chenango et des terres à l'aérodrome nouvellement capturé à Port Lyautey. De là, nous allons rapidement poussée vers l'est de pousser le Allemands et Vichy Français hors de l'Afrique complètement!
"objective_string" = Le 10 Novembre 1942, la forteresse têtu Port Lyautey a finalement été envahi et capturé. Cela a permis aux 76 Curtiss P-40 Warhawks bord USS Chenango à suivre, décoller et atterrir en toute sécurité à ce aérodrome capturé. Cependant, la marée descendante serait éviter que le carburant et les munitions nécessaires pour ces avions d'être livré jusqu'à ce que le matin du 11 Novembre par l'USS Contessa.
"intelligence_string" = Pour descendre du Chenango intacte, utilisez pleins volets et WEP, et appliquer jusqu'à l'ascenseur avant de quitter le pont. Une fois en vol, vous dirigez vers le sud-sud-est vers la côte, puis la côte parallèles pour couvrir la flotte d'invasion sur le chemin de l'aérodrome. Ne soyez pas trop décontracté sur la zone, Vichy combattants et bombardiers français sont toujours actifs dans la région. Assurez-vous d'obtenir ces Warhawks à Port Lyautey aérodrome en un seul morceau!
"player_aircraft_name_string" = FDG2_P-40E Kittyhawk
"airfield_string" = "Chenango CVE-28"

[Rami]

Hello again,

There were two issues I found with this mission...

1) Getting the P-40e Warhawk off the carrier deck intact requires full flaps, WEP, and slow flap retraction.

2) I may need a 33rd Fighter Group skin for the FDG2 P-40e Warhawk.

I already have all the other missions except for the Gibraltar parachute mission prepped for easy completion.

La mission sur mon ordinateur donne ça !
Je crois que ce P40E appartenait bien au 33 FG embarqué sur le porte avions Chenango

Pour la mission ou se trouve le problème , vous n'avez pas les parachutistes ?

[UncleTgt]

They should be Merlin engine P-40F's.

Use KM P40Fv1, & configure aircraft & Chenango to use catapult launch with Tango's catapult gauge. See source http://raf-112-squadron.org/33rd_fg.html

[Rami]

Good afternoon,

For the US Navy missions, I used the USS Ranger for carrier takeoffs using the SBD and TBF. The Wildcat can get off the escort deck without a problem, but the FDGv2 P-40e proved a little tougher.

UncleTgt,

I was wondering about that. Some of the sources I had maintained it was the P-40e Warhawk that was used off the decks, while it was always my understanding that the "F" model was used.

Dombral,

Yes, I am having some issues with that mission, but it's not the paratroopers. It's the historical accuracy. But I have other things I need to focus on at the moment. I will answer when I return home in a few hours.

[Rami]

Good afternoon,

I was able to get the P-40f Warhawk off the USS Ranger without a catapult, and without flaps, as long as I moved the takeoff point from -50 to -110.

[Rami]

John,

Many thanks for this, I thought I replied to your e-mail, but I guess I have not. I will have a present sent to you, Kdriver, JDTinballs, and Hewman100 come tomorrow for beta testing and final development.

[Devildog73]

Rams,
If you remember the Tuskegee Airmen first campaign were carrier take offs.

KM-P40F I believe, full WEP and only applied one flap at the conning tower.

[Rami]

Hey guys,

In addition to a couple of auto-installer campaigns and the revised Oldenburg airbase, you may notice today that some old downloads are new again. I have included some updates for the Bari and La Spezia packages for Tobob, with now include seaplane takeoff points and airbase.dat entries by kdriver.

I will also update my Mission Builder layout package as well as the ETO and MTO support packages, as well as the ETO ports package, to include some new factories and other creations over the past couple of years. I will try to include as many objects as I can (similar to Oldenburg) to cut down your workload.

[Rami]

Good evening,

As promised, the Mission Builder layout package has been updated and moved back to the front of the line. :very_drunk:

[stuart277]

Very nice work Rami.:applause:

Thanks for these.

Cheers,

Stuart

[Rami]

Stuart and others,

Shuffling through my files, I found additional layouts for an aircraft factory at Bristol, Woolston, and a combined wooded rail and rail yard layout. I also took the opportunity to divide the actual buildings from the vehicles and anti-aircraft guns, if I have used that layout in a mission. Such files will have the name of the original layout, with the addition of an underscore and the letter "a."

The package has been updated for the final time, so I hope you enjoy. :very_drunk:

[Rami]

Hey guys,

I've been working off and on with this for some time, but I finished another MTO scenery overhaul. This is Algiers. Building this was tricky, because I chose to work without creating a flatten, so placing large buildings in the hills was very tricky, and at times maddening. Nothing is more of an eyesore than "suspended animation" buildings.

We are getting very close to completion with Alexandria, Bone, Bejaia, Frejus-Saint-Raphael, Imperia, Savona, Toulon, Genoa, Porto Maurizio, Safi, Trieste, Tunis, Tripoli, Tobruk, Benghazi, Palermo, Derna, Venice, and Marghera all completed.

[Rami]

Roxanne,

After I finish with Naples tonight, on Thursday and Friday I will be building another GSL harbor for the North African / Mediterranean theatre, this time at Djibouti. Can you please provide as much information between now and then as to what the harbor and city might have looked like during the brief battles there?

Thanks in advance.

[stuart277]

Hi Rami:wavey:

With regard to Naples.

Can you include a 'picture' of that varmint that stole my friend's bag (with our passports) in 1987, out of our car, while we were stuck in traffic, he was on a motor bike.

Cheers,

Stuart

[Roxane-21]

This might be a bit ambitious, but let me see what I can do for you...

Here are a bunch of pictures of what Djibouti looked like in the mid-1930s era :
http://www.haju68.comoj.com/P-Anciennes-4.html
I don't know if there were much differences between then and the 1940s era...

I will try to ask some friends if they have more information. :encouragement:

EDIT :
Here is another picture, with the governor's house on top : http://images-02.delcampe-static.net/img_large/auction/000/206/128/741_001.jpg

EDIT 2 :
Here is a video from 1942, in which you can see the harbor of Djibouti :

[Rami]

Good morning,

And here is Djibouti. Sorry if it's not wholly accurate, but I had to work with the landclass and tools that I had. I also was sure to keep an eye on the frame rates. No problems with this one.

merci pour les photos de Djibouti en 1934 , j'ai été très heureux de revoir en particulier le viel Hopital colonial ou j'ai travaillé comme médecin ophtalmologiste de 1978 à 1982 , 4 années inoubliables . Lorsque je vois votre interpretation du port de Djibouti en 1940 , il était très certainement beaucoup moins sofistiqué que vous ne le représentez . Probablement aucune grue des quais très simples et quelques boutres arabes . Pour la ville les immeubles en pierres étaient rares a part quelques batiments officiels .Il y avait une batterie avec 2 canons de 240 sur l'ilot du Héron derriere le port et des casernements . Le terrain d'aviation était très sommaire . Je l'avais représenté ainsi :

[Rami]

Dombral,

I can delete the piers and cranes, that's not an issue. I can also tone down some of the big stone buildings and use the small Africa houses instead. However, the reading that I have done indicated that it has a European Colonial look to it, kind of a "French Hong Kong in the Red Sea." Accordingly, I have tried to provide that kind of a look.

Also, I will include the layout files so that you can modify it as you see fit.

Dombral,

Je peux supprimer les quais et grues, ce ne est pas un problème. Je peux aussi atténuer certains des grands bâtiments en pierre et utiliser les petites maisons Afrique à la place. Cependant, la lecture que je ai fait indiqué qu'il a un coloniales européennes se tournent vers elle, une sorte de "Français de Hong Kong dans la mer Rouge." En conséquence, je ai essayé de fournir ce genre de look.

Aussi, je vais inclure les fichiers de mise en page afin que vous pouvez modifier comme bon vous semble.

[dombral]

J'a retrouvé quelques photos aériennes de Djibouti en 1980 . 90% des batiments en dure et des installations du port datent d'apres 1960 .

Djibouti n'a et n'a jamais eu rien de comparable avec Hong Kong . En fait c'était un port très modeste .

[Rami]

Good morning,

Marseille was another Toulon-esque effort, the harbor is HUGE. I tried to balance eye-candy and frame rates, but all told she was still close to 1,700 objects, and that does not include the airport coming some distance to the northwest.

[Rami]

Good morning,

Here is the second set of pics. :very_drunk:
