crashaz replied to a thread USS Oriskany SCB-27C/125A in FSX General Discussion

Coral Sea/Midway really needs a redo... our (Bruce Baker as well) effort for CFS2 really does not do FSX justice as we were working with a poly budget under 10K. Let me see what I have in drydock or I can find plans on so we can do them right for FSX. Very nice work with Oriskany! I had been working on the island but was not happy with my hull to put a 27C class out.

Rami replied to a thread Kelti, I'd appreciate your opinion, please! in CFS2 General Discussion

Yes, that's true. My solution to that, because I have all of his scenery packages installed, is to have a common folder called "Tobob land and watermasks" for those files, and then have the "TB_xxxxx" folders separately. Yes, as you correctly fixed. I correctly anticipated, because the layout box is about six miles in rectangle form, that it would be a multi-gob GSL file. Before using GSLedit, I ran it through Gob checker, which split the layout into three parts. I hadn't done that yet with the layout file because I wanted some input and feedback from Kelticheart, and now Jagdflieger, and if possible, Xavierb.

Roger wilco, Andrew! Good to read your mom is fairly well, as to start worrying about who's gonna be your daughter's date, well, that's life my friend! We say here it's a wheel that turns around and never stops....;) Last year Jagd told me the other problem you had with the grades you gave to one of your students, this year they are breaking your ...... for your lesson topic. Oh, well...I am not missing my teaching days!!! Nowaday's parents here are exactly the same: their kids are absolute geniuses and real life cannot be taught to them, least their sensitive soul be offended! There was a time here when any complaint from a teacher or low grades resulted directly in swift kicks from our dads in our rear ends, invariably. Mine still remembers them..... I get back to you with La Spezia as soon as I upload my new Mauro's planes mod pack.

kelticheart replied to a thread Help With DP File in CFS2 General Discussion

TW, please allow me to ask you: why don't you make your life easier with the vaste production of beautiful P-40 "B" versions available, instead of tangling with Jurassic Era Kwagmire's P-40B? If I remember correctly, I even deleted it from my archives, due to the impossibility of reducing its collision bubble and other inaccettable mdl quirks for today's standards. Let alone a poor fps performance. Here you can find Bruce Throson's multi-LOD P-40B/C models reworked by Bearcat241, with plenty of gorgoeus, rigorously historical repaints by SC and RobH, to which I applied my props and alternative payloads/droptank for both USAAF and RAF versions, with either US or British bomb models. Besides, you can also find here: http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/BDPLanes.htm

Rami replied to a thread Kelti, I'd appreciate your opinion, please! in CFS2 General Discussion

Stefano, I am well, though I had a meeting before the school board recently because some parents didn't like the content I was teaching. (The Banana wars, Sanford Dole and US economic interests Vs Hawaii, US occupation of Haiti, putting the Shah in power, Eisenhower sending the Marines into Lebanon, etc.) Because I was not espousing my own beliefs on the students and was well entrenched in the facts, the school board, the teacher's union, and the school principal backed me 100%. Mom's also been reasonably stable in dialysis, so that's a plus. And, my eldest daughter is going to be five soon! Yikes, huh? I am attaching a beta testing package here for you. I don't think you'll have problems with this, but you need the scenery for the layout to work properly. I included a couple of modified files I use that were given to me by Robert John at my request. Let me know if you can't find anything, or if something looks funny!

Hi Rami! Doing well thank you, yourself? Just like me, you can't sit still with "oh, so many things to do in CFS2, so little time!!" Uhu? La Spezia looks good, my friend. I'd like to do some input for you, because I can pinpoint the military Arsenal in the harbour. I think Yagdflieger can do it as well, he was there last year with me and Xavier! When we visited the Military Naval Museum, there was a model display of the way the harbour looked in 1944. Both Xavier and I took pictures of it and both said: "Rami will jump with joy seeing this!". Although the picture is not great because the glass cover reflected the light, I'll send it over to you. I will check also with Google maps to see how much of the military harbour is visible and let you know, in the meantime you could send me your layout file.

Shessi, simply magnificent, my friend! Are you thinking to make an upload? :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: TYPHOON WILLY: I think in North Africa Wolfi's US pilot would be appropriate, although WD's Aussie pilot in shorts and light kaki would be just as looking good. But then, I already placed WD's RAAF pilots in the seat of every tropicalised Hurri....a dogfight would look like a family argument brought to its extremes!!! But, on the other hand: who actually does pay attention in combat to the contents of an opponent's cockpit, instead of "watching one's six"? I'll tell you who: a short career-ed fighter pilot perhaps.......

Thanks, Wolfi for your fast reply! It means it is useless to me for what I need, I wouldn't know how to convert it to a BGL anyway. How about repainting your US pilot MaeWest jacket black, it would look more Lufwaffe-like, do you think CFS2 would take the repainted flight suit in the aircraft \texture folder over the texture stored in \SCENEDB\WEAPONS\TEXTURE? This is how CFS2 behaves when we want to change clothes to a stock pilot. Cheers! KH :ernae:

Rami replied to a thread Tobob - St. Nazaire has been released! in CFS2 General Discussion

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery Add-Ons Description: This is Tobob’s St. Nazaire scenery, with contributions from Rami. This package is for CFS2, & is used in the Battle for Europe campaign. Tobob has graciously donated his coastlines and land class to the project, allowing for me to build GSL scenery for the port & sub pen areas without the interference of detatched coastlines resulting from the interaction between Sander's Europe scenery and Rhumbaflappy's newer world water masks. Tobob deserves much of the credit for this scenery package, he did more than the lion’s share of the effort, in that the land class, coastlines, water masks, and elevation mesh were all created by him. A credit also goes to Talon, who walked me (Rami) through analyzing the .dp file to figure out the naming flaw that was preventing the object from generating a .cdp file. My contribution to this scenery package was the placement of objects from our various designers to create the placements for the dockyards, sub pen, and lighthouses to bring some measure of life to St. Nazaire, and then use those layouts to create the GSL scenery. The additional layout for ship, vehicle, and anti-aircraft gun placement was also created by me.

Hi Graham! I am quite sure those stripes are individual markings, as the manufacturer's paint scheme difference was limited to that tail detail. I just got this "Approximately 10,450 Zero-Sen's were built with Mitsubishi building 3,880 and Nakajima building 6,570...." from this site: www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/IJARG/a6mzero.htm This ratio is almost a 2 to 1, it tells us it's far easier seeing a picture of a Nakajima-built Zero than a native Mitsubishi plane. This website shows a great picture of a restored, airworthy Nakajima A6M5, where you can appreciate the shape of the Nakajima prop spinner very much:

kelticheart started a thread Wolfi's FSDS2 Japanese pilot in CFS2 General Discussion

A good day to everybody! :wavey: I am ready to upload the promised updated prop textures/new payloads/gauge-controlled exhaust effects for Mauro Giacomazzi's aircraft collection we recently re-uploaded here at SOH. This will consolidate all of my previous uploads regarding Mauro's planes, which got lost over the years due to the ailments suffered by SOH in the past damaging the download archives. I can anticipate here a few screenshots of the results, updating everything was a rather big job and there is something new, apart from new blurred prop textures: new payloads for Mauro's Hurricane MkIIC Trop and MkIID Trop "tankbuster", dressed in VVS-RKKA colours for the Russian front, using Thicko's Il-2 Sturmovik weapons. I replaced in all Hurricanes Mauro's pilot figures because they are modeled as a planes, using, for example, Martin Wright's RAF pilot which is modeled instead as a true payload, thus freeing up places in CFS2 \AIRCRAFT root folder. William Dicken's RAAF pilot provided prefect replacements for tropicalised Hurricanes, but here comes the problem. I haven't found any German-dressed "weapon" pilot to replace Mauro's GER "aircraft" pilot with and I used Wolfi's Helldiver US pilot, which, with its kaki overall, looks very similar to the flight suits worn by Luftwaffe bomber crews during the Battle of Britain. I can live with the fact this pilot figure is not German, but the yellow MaeWest sticks out like a sore thumb and I know several of you out there will not accept it.

Good evening, I finished the work on Saint Nazaire, and turned it into GSL scenery tonight. It's not quite historically accurate, because I put the sub pen in a different place than it was in reality. In addition, CFS2 lacks dry docks as objects, so I did what I could here. All in all, I'm happy with the results. Also, as a favor to kdriver, I included the oil refinery at Donges, France, which was targeted by Allied bombers in World War II. I should be able to upload the package tomorrow morning.

BoeingvsAirbusNKL - December 14th, 2011 12:55 View Conversation

Well I know it isn't as maneuverable as the Fw 190... It was meant for high altitude... And it was faster than Fw 190 at altitude.
It has a slower rate of climb... The gear is longer from main wheels to tail wheel... Power to mass ratio is lesser than the Fw 190 (referring to the D9 version for this comparison)... Range is longer than the Fw 190D9... It is heavier than the Fw 190D9 in Empty, Loaded and Max takeoff weight... Wingspan is longer... It is slightly higher (by 1 meter)... More wing area and uses th Jumo 213E compared to the Jumo 213A-1 of the Dora. Sorry for the off topic question.
