Any jeep around?

[hubbabubba]

Hello

As I am about to release a «drivable» vintage WWII jeep for CFS1, I was curious to know if CFS2-3, FS2002-04 or FSX had one. If so, could you post some pics here and a brief description? I remember reading about a Vietnam-era jeep going around and a modern red one, but no WWII Willys-Overland or Ford.

This vehicle has foldable windshield, turning steering wheels and front wheels, black-out lights and headlights. It is an all-terrain vehicle capable of making Interlaken - Lucerne through the mountains.

This picture shows 2D and 3D driving position and two external views.

I would like to know if I'm making myself a liar if I was to state that this is the only WWII drivable jeep of all MS Flight Sims.

There was one by Bill Sponge for CFS 3. Bill Lyons did a civilian jeep for FS 2k2.

But yours does look good enough for the newer sims.

Thanks for the compliment Willy. BTW- The second paragraph is missing on your post but appears when I'm quoting it... bizarre!

The CFS3, I think, is the Vietnam era military CJ3. The civilian is also a more modern vehicle with crash bars, if I'm not mistaken again.

P.S.- And now, it does show the second paragraph!

The one in CFS3 was a default ground vehicle AI made driveable, so it should have been WWII issue. Bill Sponge made a bunch of those default ground vehicles driveable.

I had edited my original post to add the second sentence.

Hubba hubba! That is one fine looking old Willy/Ford jeep.

Hubbabubba, there was someone working on a collection of WW2 era vehicles for CFS2 at one point....don't know if that collection included a WW2 era Jeep or not or if the collection has been completed....heck, I can't even remember who was working on them.

I can foresee your Jeep being pulled into CFS2 and put to use.

Then, this is one I'm not aware of. Any pictures?

I wouln't mind. This jeep was hand-coded with SCASM and has no z-bias. It is multi-resolution (4 LODs).

If CFS2 can «tolerate» it...

P.S.- Of course, I wouldn't mind if my copyrights are respected, which is without saying at SOH.

That looks really good, would love to tool around in that in FSX, any chance of that happening?

Gary Burns (Gary20) did one for Fs9. It's included in his Twinwood Farm scenery available here at SOH and flightsim.com.

I know someone, who with a little work, could have a whole set of FSX native ww2 vehicles to work and play with ...

HINT!

Is it drivable?

I can't even play CFS2 on my machine...

Twinwood Farm 1944 ================== Scenery ======= Twinwood Farm 1944 for FS9 made from Royal Airforce Museum maps and including 100% accurate period buildings and layouts for the airfield and communal areas. Includes AI Blenheims buzzing the airfield on touch and goes credit and thanks to Giovanni and Italo for allowing their use. It's all "As real as it gets" For GW3 users there is an AFCAD to allow the runways, taxiways and aprons to show correctly. History ======= Glenn Millers last takeoff is faithfully recreated in both AI form and through personal flight taking off from Twinwood for Villacoublay in France. The same flight route, date, time and weather as it was on that fatefull day of December 15th 1944 is recreated with flight and flightplan files. Brian Gladden has been generous enough to allow use of his Noorduyn Norseman to recreate this flight and I have created the flight plan and flights for the journey. Was his disapearance freindly fire from Allied bombers, bad weather or was the flight shot down by the Luftwaffe, take the flight and decide for yourself. Willy's Jeep ============ I have decided to release my Willy's Jeep model with this scenery. It's a great way to take in all the different sights around this airfield in period style and comfort. Includes suspension, folding windshield, animated steering wheel, animated front wheels and an animated driver all dressed up for the period. Two models are included, a hard top and an open version.

Good to know, dogknot. So I will limit my claim to CFS1.

Here is a very old US Army jeep by Jerry Arzdorf. Dated 1997. Works surprisingly well in FS9.

[Francois]

I'm a Jeep lover (so bad so that I am even driving one of the more modern variety) and always looking for WW2 models.. anywhere. Yours looks wonderful !!! We could use one in FSX for the Lysander package !

[hubbabubba]

Merci pour le compliment François,

My avatar clearly shows my colors, I am a CFS1 die-hard.

And even if I was not, my old PC would not let me forget it. It can barely play FS2000 and does not support CFS2.

If Jerry Arzdorf creations can wander in FS9 landscape, I suppose that someone could have my jeep transposed in FSX.

But the irony will be that I won't see it.

BTW- After this one is released, a version with a 50 cal on tripod will follow. Others to come.
