    Hi greycap, I've just been noticing that! I've got a lovely book called Janes Fighting Aircraft of WWII, and it quotes all the weights in kg, so its a drag having to convert to imperial units all the time! I don't know why the US is so out of step on this stuff. :salute:

    Hi Frosty, I think you will find the document included in the recently uploaded Mission and Facility editor (IIRC CFS3 other?) discusses how to set up towed units. Give it a look, its an email that was saved in the package. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=159&id=15412 HTH,

    Hi, I just noticed here under the Downloads section "CFS3 Other" (the root folder I think) there are a couple of zip files with a list of all the commands including all the engine commands. Other sites used to hold similar files but this one is pretty comprehensive so should do the trick. HTH, D

    Hi Clive, I've sunk a bit of time into this and still haven't widened the net of workingspawns. The annoying thing is that once I had an install where every airbase facility had a spawn attached to it. I'm not sure what the fragging spawn is? Is it ETO 1.40? On your Scampton package, I amended the Halifax_taxi xdp from heavy armour because all the squeaking and clanking as they taxiied past annoyed me. Then I tried to get innovative and wrote an effect to get the ai_bomber sound - followed faithfully a formula where the fx_aibomber is triggered at taxiing speed, but have not been successful as yet. It would be great to have the taxiing aircraft come with proper sounds. Did you think of adding cap spawns to some of your British airbases in Southern England, for your BoB update? I could do some prototype ones if you like. Which airfields had heavy attention from German bombers? :icon29:

    How can one modify the flaps adjustment on a A/C? When you hit the flap button on the BoB_Spit_54 they open 100% on other planes this is done by increments.

    Well thats good news! With spawned aircraft taking off, Scampton is going to be very busy :icon_lol:. Do they get in the way of the taxiing Halifaxes? I'll try to get a look at the fragging jets spawns later today. Still want to try to get the spawned planes to taxi, rather than takeoff.

    Well I'm not sure if its just the facility file, Clive. Here is the facility file header line: <Facility Type="RAF Scampton" Flags="isAirbase" Spawns="cap.spawns" OuterDistance="10001"> Here is the frontend.xml (just in case its influential somehow, particularly for UI spawns): <Params Version="3.0" Directive="intercept" Country="USA" Airbase="fowe66" TotalGoals="3" Aircraft="P-47D-25" Date="6/6/1944" Time="11:25" CanSpawn="Yes" Weather="ScatteredClouds2Low.xml"/>

    Hi Clive, I had a helluva job getting spawns to trigger because I didn't follow my own advice to start off with proven spawn sets. I just tried to bung in something along the lines of the attempted taxiing spawns. I don't have the skills to do that sadly :isadizzy:. The other thing that threw me off is I remembered that in the standard Railyard facility files, the spawn reference is made under the FLAGS section in the header ie. Flags="israilyard,spawnsRailTraffic". So I started to try and include the spawn reference in the Flags label. But success has been to use the separate entry as originally mentioned: Spawns="cap.spawns" in the first entries of the ACC_Scampton facility file. Attached some screenies, I had cap spawns set up so that two separate sets of bombers spawned this time. Note the purple indicator on the TAC - thats because CAP spawns have mission goals etc for campaign missions! Amazing how much time this all sucks up - I still haven't gotten any takeoff spawns to work.

  1. Hi there Tiredoldman, the package was merely uploaded by me - it was put together by a chap whose moniker was Charlie. It was designed to install on top of a stock install of CFS3. From memory, it was a pain to get to run properly. His tweaks made the ground textures, airbase textures and spawned flights, including voice packs, amazing. But he was very poor at instructions. I think he forgot that half the stuff he referenced as facility files in missions, or in spawn files, were actually from a payware addon - Justflight's Battle of Britain. I didn't have it at the time, so I went through all the spawn files painstakingly and edited references to any JF spitfires and changed the refs to appropriate spitfires that I did have in my aircraft folder.

    So there was quite a lot of tweaking necessary to get it to run at all. I never got it to run well, but I enjoyed it enormously when i did manage to get it running briefly. I think nowadays i would do a better job (plus I now have JF BoB) so I must try and reinstall it sometime!

    Oh, in terms of isolatti4gatti and GC, GC can still be found at regshanger.com. However you will have to substitute the italian stuff for alternatives. I suggest you look in the freeware addons MAW and ETO for suitable Italian bits.
