Just trying to add more atmosphere to the airfields so to speak.

If anyone knows a source for some free models I would love to hear from yo.

Best Regards

Thanks to Pat Pattle I now have full damage modelling working for my models. The mystery for me has been resolved.

Best Regards

Thanks crossman, I hear you. The problem to some degree is that not all models have been built with the front in the proper direction.
Your point is well made and a practical approach.

Thanks folks. I may be well on my way to getting this resolved. Pat Pattle is working with me by email at the moment. We shall see how far I get...

I am using gmax to generate XML files but the object orientations are reversed in the XML output but not in the gmax app itself.
I guess I am not having any success interpreting your statement. Can...

Hairyspin I suspect you are correct about the model orientation, unfortunately I have been editing the exported XML files to manually correct the entries. Which is a pain in the posterior so to speak!

I have discovered that positve numbers put into the rotation tool Z axis come out in the XML export as negative numbers, and visa versa.

Very strange!

Thanks very much. I am interested in any tutorial/documentation you have that will expand my knowledge as I am new to this. I am not making aircraft. I focus on buildings for WOFF.
I don't use zoom...

Can you give me a link to that? I can't seem to locate it.

Best Regards

Pat and Hairyspin, I thank your for your response.

I will humbly await the fruits of your past labours Mates! :adoration:

Hi Folks, I'm back again with a modelling question.

I am new to damage modelling for my models so this is another exercise in futility unless I can tap the knowledge of someone familiar with the...

Thanks mongoose for replying. I'm not concerned about rotating an object in GMAX, I more concerned that I cannot capture that rotation coordinate data in the XML file output from GMAX.
Have you had...

Hi Folks;

I would like to reach out to anyone familiar with the use of GMAX for generating facilities.xml files for use in CFS3 environment.

I have been importing my airfields terrain and...

Hi Pat. Sure nice to know you are still with us. No rush getting back to me. I understand hoe RL can get in the way of our fun :biggrin:

Hi Mongoose. I have been dialoging with him over the past year and a half about airfield modding. He generally is fairly quick to respond and so I was somewhat concerned if he was still with us. When...

I have PM'd Pat and not received a response. Can anyone confirm if he is still active on this site?

Best Regards

I have found that if the lines of code in my facilities.xml file for CFS3 exceeds 1000, the facility will fail to render.
I have been looking for documentation to confirm this limit but so far have...

Yes it is Pat and I don't know how to re-align it with the 0,0 axis. I sent you a PM. Thanks

I have just created a buillding in GMAX that seems to want to float or hover just above ground level. Does anyone know why this happens and how to remedy it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best...

This issue has been resolved thanks to Pat. In essence, the GMAX plane has to be set with the same length and width as the field size in the facilities .xml file for the aerodrome you are planning to...

Hi Pat,

Thanks for responding. It is greatly appreciated.

Yes I have the plug in and yes it creates the .xml file as required but the generated coordinates do not correspond to the desired...

I am familiar enough with GMAX in terms of importing .bmp files as a base for building aerodromes and placing buildings on it. The problem I am having is that the coordinates generated by GMAX for...

You have no Idea how good!! I feel like Snoopy doing his dance! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thanks to all for persevering with me.

I followed the link and downloaded again and it worked!

Thanks mate!!! That did the trick! I followed the info in the following thread and it worked! YOU MADE MY DAY!
