Italy: LIPR + 25 x 98Mb downloads

[Wing_Z]

Been spending a bit of time looking at Italy in FS.
There are some very good freeware sceneries available.
I had this scenery for Rimini Miramare Miltary airbase downloaded a long time ago, but never followed up on it.
I think it was because
it needed some RWY12 object libraries and I couldn't be fussed with that, and
a ginormous photoreal download of surrounding scenery.

But I installed the bare bones just for fun, and it has the makings of a truly excellent scenery.
The runway and grass detailing is especially impressive.



Over the next couple of days I will attempt that giant download, and add the necessary library objects.
I hope it's all worthwhile.

Is that bare bones only airfield available anyware, the screen shot makes it look very impressive even without any buildings, only reason i ask is, ive just bought the EZ-scenery program, i could probably build it up using MAIW object librarys.
Ive got installed some really good LOD10 mesh of Italy and im always on the look out for some good Italian AF airbase's.
cheers ian

It shouldn't be necessary - just add Gerrish trees and RWY 12 libraries and the scenery is all go.
The big download is for the surrounding photoreal.

Well the RWY 12 object library didn't produce any problems, so I'll keep it for now.
Gerrish's trees are looking a little dated perhaps, but we'll have to live with that it seems.

I'm going to send a flock of Piglet's Predators over to Croatia...

Wing, where did you get those Predators at? Mike :salute:

FS2002 USAF RQ-1A Predator UAV, v1.0. Hard working unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of the Bosnian and current Enduring Freedom operations. The General Atomics RQ-1 can collect and transmit data without endangering any aircrews' lives. This FSDS/Gmax aircraft comes with "ground controller station" panel, with some custom gauges. By Tim Conrad.

They make great AI...
I re-serialled them but messed up the paint.
I'll do them again before committing to battle

Hey, thanks Mate. Off to get it now! Mike :salute:

[Wing_Z]

You're welcome!
I've touched up the fleet a little, and packed a couple of them off to Croatia as AI.
It's actually not so strange to fly a UCAV in flightsim...



Back to topic: the photoreal is the size it is, because it appears the author has included targa files, as well as bitmaps.
Can't think why, they are 4x the size of the BMP's and are just duplicates as far as I can see...2.5GB worth.

[Wing_Z]

I installed the photoreal, which is pretty extensive.
It has no autogen or seasonal textures, but fits well around the airport

I did not install the vehicle traffic surrounding the airport, as it affected performance.



Plenty of room for civilian and military AI



I selected a couple of Hama vehicles for the included ground traffic AI.
The bus got a little custom Rimini badge.



You can just follow them around and be amazed by the detail built into this scenery.
Or, drive one yourself, as I did.



...and if you didn't know, there is a soccer field on the property, complete with goal posts!



Truly a great scenery all round, lots to play with.

I didn't find any traffic files for ground ai and only an incomplete file for aircraft traffic. Did I miss something?

[Wing_Z]

From the readme:

1.5 Dynamic and static objects
Internal vehicles traffic
Inside the airport area, military patrol cars turn his rounds on the internal streets.
This traffic is controlled by AI; in the folder “AI-Traffic” you find the file Traffic_LIPW.bgl , this must be
copied in the folder FS9/Scenery/World/scenery
For testing i used the UNIMOG one from Mitsuya Hamaguchi (hama) but you can use every car you want.
On next upgrades there’ll be „real“ patrol car for it.
Static helicopters
The helicopters can be inserted in the scenery (version 2007!) with the file Traffic_LIPR_Mil2.bgl as static
models. Later I try to make AI-traffic with it.
F-104 AI-Traffic
The Starfighter F-104 is ready for AI-Traffic (scenery version 1990!). The needed bgl.file for F-104 AI-traffic
(Traffic_LIPR_Mil.bgl) can be found in the subfolder „AI_Traffic“ and must be copied in the folder
FS9/Scenery/World/scenery.
Source used for models and textures:
F-104 Avsim.com file name: f104ito102gr.zip
Helicopter Hovercontrol.com file names: Bell_UH-1H_Italian_Army

Wing,

Apparently the version you downloaded and the version I downloaded (from the link above) are not the same. The package I downloaded does not include any traffic bgls. The only thing in the "AI Traffic" folder are two text files: the airports list and a flightplans file that appears to be a work in progress and includes no entries for ground traffic that I can see.

The readme in my version does not even include the text you quoted. I searched FlightSim.com to see if there was an update and did not find one. I'm confused as to why there seems to be a difference between our downloads.

If you could post the text for the ground vehicle traffic flightplans I can put the rest together. Thanks.

PF

Yes, sorry I am reconstructing this as my install was over 4 years ago!
In case Navtech's link doesn't work for you, I've attached the AI files I have.

[pfflyers]

Thanks to Navtech and Wing for your responses.

I'm looking forward to trying out these new downloads. I guess the file on flightsim is an early version as the author mentions the possibility of a later update. Looks like the file Navtech linked might be that updated version.

Thanks again for the help.
