European Air War - The Gen

With the start of World War I Britain accelerated the expansion of its seaplane carrier fleet. Within days of entering the war, the Admiralty requisitioned three fast Channel packets for conversion. Unlike the vessels converted by most other nations these vessels were fast, with top speeds of 18 to ...

Only the Royal Navy had aircraft carriers during World War I – ships capable of operating aircraft with conventional landing gear. Furious, the first, was joined by two more by war’s end. HMS Argus, joined the fleet on 14 September 1918. HMS Vindictive was commissioned on 9 October 1918. Very differ...

This is the target layout that the original TWF gang set up: (not sure what those targets in the channel are. Suspect they were spare bases which were going to be used elsewhere) http://mogggy.org/pictures/TWFtargetlayout2.jpg As you can see the bases and target locations are very close together in ...

Ray, I have put in your folder R502015ObjectSetup.zip which contains subfolders for each of the objects in the 2015 target setup. Each subfolder has the 3dz, tpc and pcx files, the tmod.dat, and screenshots from the 3dz editor of each mod/mog and destroyed version. Many of these will be useable in t...

Can only find out. I'll send an email.

Sorry Ed, accidentally knocked out a bit of your text when editing the post. Re ships etc.

I'm sure you and Ray are right. Marginal differences between basic appearance of WW1 and WW2 ships etc.

Ed - saw the pictures of these forts, and also wondered if we could set up something like that. Verdun being good example.

Just curious, are you finding many appropriate TMOD's?

Yes, quite a number will be useful. Some may need some light editing for period - trucks for example.

This is what the one in Spain lppks like: 161 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 6 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 10 11 0 0 12 0 0 13 0 14 15 16 0 9 0 0 17 0 18 19 20 21 22 0 23 24 25 26 0 0 0 27 28 0 29 30 0 31 0 32 33 0 34 35 36 0 0 37 38 39 40 41 42 0 43 0 0 44 45 46 47 48...

Anyone know what "bases.mpf" is/was for?

Is it just another multiplayer thing?

You really definitely do.

Not at the expense of getting this project done of course



I'm up to Tmod200 ingetting the object folders sorted with screen shots.

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.
