European Air War - The Gen

Ray

Regarding machine guns as AA guns:



My dad, Biggin Hill, sometime in late 1940.

:yes: Thanks Ed! Ray, you might like to hold off raking through the 2015 ground object list for a few days. I am completing creating an analytical set of folders, one for each 2015 object containing the 3dz files, skin files, pcx files, data file and screen shots for tmod, tmog, and destroyed mods. ...

Here's the 2015 target list: 1 Oil plant 2 Ball bearing factory 3 Chemical factory 4 Aircraft factory 5 Airfield 6 Armament factory 7 Railyard 8 Shipyard 9 U-boat pen 10 V-1 site 17 Heavy AA 18 Light AA 19 Large Oil Tank 20 Radar station 21 Large radar tower 22 23 Rec Hall 24 Fuel dump 25 Control To...

I can handle that with an assist from Ed. :beer: Moggy, I don't have a target editor set up at present so I don't have easy access to the TMOD list. Can you give me some of the appropriate hangar TMOD numbers to save time? At the moment the Tmod numbers only reach to the old default, so this can be...

That's the one. I think we can big up and reskin an existing hangar shape to create that.

Funnily enough I know and love that guy. His videos on the Mosquito, Percy Hobart the tank man, and Douglas Bader are particularly brilliant! On topic, we'll need a Zeppelin shed ground object, and a static Zeppelin. All subject of bombing raids from the earliest days of the war. I'm still gathering...

Thanks Ed.

I like in particular the Maschinenkanone!

1.6 can apparently support hi-res bitmap skins for ground objects. I've never knowingly used them. Anyone had success with hi-res skins? Is it a bit of a load on the frame rate?

Thanks Ed, will try and get some of these AA guns modelled.

Yes, we need to do this as simply as possible. For the frontline airfields we can probably adapt the default "green field" setup, substitute hangars, swap buildings and barracks for tents.

I will approach the ground objects in groups i.e. for Airfields, for cities, for villages, for the front line, moving vehicles etc. Almost all frontline airfields are going to be quite simple. A more or less rectangular field, a few of the French temporary hangars, maybe one wooden hangar in some pl...

Thanks Edlaz. Have you got a similar list for Germany?

Ray - I will continue to look through the European setups to see what can be used/adapted.

Some of the stuff done for Iraq will do nicely - the Rolls Royce and other armoured cars for example. They were still using 1WW stuff there.

Basically using the default European map area. So yes to floatplanes.

Those big German bombers are certainly a sight.

Having now looked through the original twf ground object setup, I can say it was based on the original Dunkirk ground object setup. There are some differences, it has a German 1WW tank for example, and the 1WW temporary hangers. The list is restricted to the old EAW default of 72 slots, so with 1.6 ...

This sounds like a plan. Having got the stuff from Ade, I'm pretty sure I have more or less all that was done previously for the WW1 scenario I'm trying to put together a basic 1.6 setup. Ade sent amongst other things what hed been done for a Winter setup. I set up the tile editor with both Summer a...
