VTP2 Polygons? (Rhumba)

[leroy10]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if Ground2k is still able to make VTP2 poly's for CFS2? I only want them to add full textures. EG: Blended textures under runways. I used to do them using an old method but all my recent attempts don't seem to be working.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers :ernae:

Hi Lindsay.

CFS2 only has VTP1 polys, so that might be the problem. Also, the layers are a bit different for CFS2 than they are for FS2002 or FS2004... you might have to play with that a bit.

Hi Dick, good to see you're still hanging around around the ol' traps.

Only VTP1? Well I'm not sure what I did then to get VTP2 working before but I'll keep looking into it. I'm at work now but when I get I'll upload the source of my working version and maybe you can shed some lite on it as to why it works, maybe it was just a lucky hack on my part. I think I designed it back in the early day's of VTP's using your includes.

Hi Dick,

Below is a working example of a CFS2 VTP2 poly. It compiles without error with BGLC but obviously that doesn't mean much.
