    Cool Coleman Barracks Mannheim Sandhofen

    I am looking for some scenery of Coleman Barracks in Mannheim Sandhofen for CFS2. I was stationed there from 1962 to 1965. I know about the constration camp and the rail head. and the spider where we had our tanks parked. I saw the elevator for the aircraft and the flooded entrance to the tunnels that were put in in 1937. the is CFS1 scenery but I don't know how to convert it.

    The CFS1 Sandhofen scenery will work in CFS2. It just needs a flatten file which has been on my list of things to do for a long time.

    Could you fix up this scenery for CFS2? I would love to fly over the base and see Sandhofen and Sharhof again. Please let me know if it is possible.

    Hi Marty,

    Here is the flatten file which will work with Wolfgang Grunewald's new release version of Sandhofen found at Simviation CFS1 Scenery section.

    Put them in the same folders as Achim's German airfields if you have them, otherwise any other European airfield scenery and texture folders.

    Icon22 Looking for Scenery Update Mannheim-Sandhofen

    Wolfgang Grunewald made Mannheim-Sandhofen 9-11-2004. Kdriver updated the scenery April 21 2019 and it works, with the exception of it will not show in airports on free flight.
    can any of the scenery masters work on the location and get it better for CFS2? It had a underground flight point elevator to get the aircraft up and past the POW section to the Autoban for take off and landing. Needs new barracks by the gate to Sharhof. This could be a great project for one of the scenery master brave enough to take it on. The old one is good but can not get the black from around the trees. Maybe add some of the town of Sandhofen and Sharhof. Happy new year.

    Icon22 Switched to another Problem

    Mannheim-Sandhofen a hard nut to crack. I took up the Ground Crew's Swordfish Campaign and it is a blast. mission number three and 4 mine the entrance of ports of Germany. after mine deployed the aircraft loses control and flys into the ground. is there a fix for this other than not flying at night. The Swordfish has very little power to start with but is a lot of fun.

    These "mines" will produce a bomb blast when they hit water surface, making your aircraft loose control if you launch them from a too low altitude. Same problem with torpedoes. This is annoying, but there is nothing you can do to avoid that but launch them from a higher altitude.

    And I agree with you, GC's campaign and the Swordfish are pure enjoyment!

    There are no mines or depth charges, amour piercing bombs just torpeads and general purpose bombs are it. There are mods with those fancy names but it’s really a regular bomb nothing more. The blast radius is realistically to small as you nearly have to hit just anything between the eyes to knock it out and a 2000 lbd bomb it’s harder and does more damage than the other stock bombs but when hitting nearby instead of dead on its as effective as a water balloon. You can however be to close to the ground when dropping and there is a radius it’s just small. Dropping them before takeoff only switches you from bombs to guns only as they just disappear no blast. You won’t have any bombs either the remainder of the mission even with unlimited weapons enabled. Torpedos are delivered low and slow and if they hit right they need travel to target before blasting . In the game you can be at 30000 ft and it’s okay but not in reality. In Shallow water a torpedo will normally get down to far and not make it to target. The Japanese used Wooden fins at Pearl Harbor to help correct this and the British actually had a string tied to the torpedo to keep it’s nose up better and keep it from going to deep. Both methods work but the Wooden fins sound more professional and advanced technology wise.
