RS Templates

**Talon** · July 22nd, 2012, 17:06

I have made airfield Templates for Burma ( for AVG missions I'm working on ) the Sino map ( for CATF missions ) and Port Morseby in the PNG.

I have the coordinates for the airfields so they are in the correct locations.

I know Bob has been working on the Sino map but from what I understand it was mostly in the Formosa area.The airfields I have are for the Northern part and where used by the CATF and Japanese.

In Burma I put in a few Japanese airfields that they used the AVG attacked.I also put in some Port facilities arong Mingalodon.

For PNG I put in Jackson and Ward airfields and Port facilities.

All this is only temporary until the maps are done.

Interesting and usefull stuff.

In the 'Big Guns & Strafers' mission pack I've made, I have also placed airfields in the PNG theater using exact lat/lon coordinates, feel free to use this stuff if you want.

Have to agree Al. There seems to be very little interest in the FE and PTO in this community. Noticed that back when I posted some screenshots of present work accomplished in the Sino portion of RS. Presently taking a time out on further development work, once this latest update is released. No sense continueing the development if we get very limited feedback on our efforts.

I'm sure there is interest . . . I am certainly interested and appreciate the work being done. I just don't think that the majority of members here grasp how truly complex and time consuming terrain work must be. So when updates are posted there is not an overwhelming response. I'm not saying members here are ignorant, just that there might be a disconnect when it comes to this sort of work. It's not as common as making a skin or effects and posting it in the DL section.

I'm with you Bob and taking a break.Since no one wants to speakup it's useless to keep trying to improve things. You try to share things with the community and you are met with silence. I know someone will say " Well it's summer time and most have vacation". This thread got a 100 hits so that is BS. I've been on vacation since June 1 and get back in September and still work on things.

Things I've worked on.

AVG-Will be 40 missions.

CATF- 25 missions.

Rabaul - 10 missions. I also have done some for PTO.

Battle of the Coral Sea -10 missions.

Pearl What If - What if the Japanese decided to invade Hawaii.-25 missions.

For PTO been doing Cactus Airforce Missions using the P-400 and F4F.

But with the lack of interest all will stay on my HD when finished.

All these missions are Historical and not Hysterical like someone else makes missions.

Hey, guys. There's interest. It's summer and most are outside unless it rains.

I get PMs and emails all the time about RS, usually about what's next.

I had alot more to say but deleted it in the spirit of not wanting to start a pissing contest and lock the thread down.

I'll just say that I enjoy those "hysterical" missions every bit as much as I enjoy the historical ones. And that "someone else" guy doesn't require me to grovel at his feet in exchange for them.

I for one am excited by what's going on in Rising Sun. Perhaps sometimes I'm not as vocal as I ought about it though. I agree interest in the Pacific is lower on this forum than Europe, but I think it will continue to grow as work progresses. Meanwhile, there are a number of people who enjoy it now.

So I will just ride off into the sunset and say " Farewell ".

Am looking foward to all your RS work, and getting 'Battle of Australia', in. I think RS is great, I had drama taking 6 months to install; there is a 'trick' apparently to getting it to load on Win7. I did, and am trying to enjoy it very much. I can definitely see the 'Big Picture' in what you guys are trying to create. It's mind boggling, so please don't give up!!

Can see that with all Theatres put together, your heading towards a 'CFS3 Global Warfare Sim', which has the capability to install all historical records as permanent memorial and museum.

That is pretty impressive.

It might even be possible to get all operating as one giant Sim. one day; instead of ETO, all theatres including Korea (guess you've thought of it).
[CFS3 terrain, etc might even lend itself to Vietnam era. Of course Skyraiders, Caribou, transports etc.]

Looking forward to the 'gaps' in RS being filled in. It's true that some might n't really appreciate the terran development, unless really thinking about the time put in, and difficulty.

I think the Pacific story is so BIG, so many resources, it's hard to comprehend. It really needs the sim completed to help understand. Staggering nos.of aircraft in Brittain/Europe, staggering here too.

So guys, take a 'Vote of Confidence': someone else is not only interested but very grateful!!

Ps: hope those Missions don't get buried in the HD

So, you are going to take your toys and go home is that it? You are going to punish everyone else because I didn't stand for you insulting a fellow member and posted a few disagreeable words? Very petty indeed. If you leave it is on your own account, I'm not pushing you to do anything.

Contrary to what you think,what you said had very little to do with it.In the middle of August and for the rest of the year I wouldn't be able to contrubute much anyway.It will be back to playing music professionally which I've been doing for over 40 years. My spare time will be spent working on model railroading. I basically work on flight sims when I'm on vacatiion or on the road. This year I've had alot of time to work on the Sims because I've only been home 3 maybe 4 weeks so far.

Actually I'll be sailing North to get home and not into the sunset.

My toys are already home waiting for me.They are 2 pianos, 5 sets of keyboards and 2 accordions for when people want Polka music.
