Athens - Acropolis and Pantheon by Shessi

***Rami*** · January 15th, 2013, 17:55

Hey guys,

Klausreiss got me thinking...would it be possible for the Athens GSL scenery to create multi-lod object library parts that could create the Acropolis? This would provide an extra bit of realism for those mission which occur over the city.

If not, I can always do without it...it's just a thought...

I got to thinking that there should be an FS 8 Acropolis somewhere, but quick searches at Flightsim and Avsim didn't produce any hits. It would be fun to see some of the Greek landmarks when flying over Greece.

Yeah, it's FS2004.... But also a start !

Yes those greek sceneries are nice, and i agree it would be splendid for the Greek missions to have a good Athens.

A bit of practice and something bashed out in a few hours last night.

Not multi-LOD, but TBH so few polys not really needed. Two choices, either solid gaps btwn Parthenon columns or see-through.

Yes Rami, I'm back to the bombers, just an interesting interlude with a Metaxa xxxxx and a greek salad........hmmmmm.

Cheers Shessi

Shessi,

If it's a choice...I'd rather have the solid walls. This is awesome!

A simple Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens scenery for CFS2 by Shessi

Includes textures to have a see-through gaps in the Parthenon columns or solid ones, you might prefer one over the other.

Cheers

No, no choice needed Rami, I'm still in there with all of them..........just time is required.

Great idea, thanks Shessi for all your efforts. Guess it's time to build a dedicated MTO for CFS2.

Thanks all,

This is very much appreciated...and the city will be built around it. Thanks! :salute:

Oldwheat,

They're already ruins, for heaven's sake! And destroyable? C*rist, even I'm not that sadistic...lol

***Shessi*** · January 18th, 2013, 13:20

It hasn't been destroyed in thousands of years, so not now either......:salute:

Cheers

yeah its not the abbey Monte Cassino.

**Robert John** · January 20th, 2013, 07:59

Hi,

As it is not destroyable would it be better placed as ordinary scenery, then the viewing distance will be greater and have a few lods to make it frame rate friendly.

Hi RJ,

Yes, just an ordinary .bgl. I don't think, as is, will give anyone any FR hit. If the scenery gets complicated and LODs are needed for all the scenery then will re-visit it.

Cheers
