European Air War - The Gen

Bit of fun for the Eastern front, drop the JU52 tug and see how many assault gliders you can land in one peice on the target. http://mogggy.org/pictures/Glider&Ju52.jpg The DFS 230 Luftwaffe assault glider had defensive armament. One machine in the rear of the cockpit and can additionally have t...

I'll try a few experiments.

Okay Chaps, I have four carrier bases more or less in place. It's then a matter of sliding in the tmods and getting the height right. I do have this problem. Salerno Bay, where the carriers are, is very near the southern edge of the map. I am running 24thNov1922_NewMap.exe, and I have wall.mpf with ...

Haven't done this under 1.6.

Do we still need a "solid" tile under the carrier?

What's the drill for setting up a carrier base?

Okay, I will check it out.

Right, I have that. Looks good, though It only has a "cargo parachute" load at the moment.

I will try an edit for a paratrooper load.

Just following this line of thought. We don't seem to have a Dakota model in the official aircraft inventory with a paratrooper and cargo paradrop loadout. Ray, can we add this? I can let you have my DC2 from the Iaq setup as a basis. The reason for all this is that I'm trying out a Salerno scenario...

Oh, sorry, I asked this in 2018 and Jel confirmed that it does http://mogggy.org/TheGen2/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=5988&hilit=paratroopers http://mogggy.org/pictures/paras4.jpg See also: https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/4258859/ and https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php...

Jel - does the current line of 160 exes support the code you developed in May 2016 whereby by falling paratroopers don't explode when they hit the ground, but spawn into the "little men"? Ray - am I right in thinking the current default weapons availability for 160 includes both cargo para...

Okay, found it.

The "NoMiniPics" flag text file is buried in the GameData folder.

Can someone please remind me how to make the fsmplane.wsp minipix appear in the mission selection screen as opposed to the text aircraft name.

Ta!

I will experiment.

This is Gibbons' Hejaz train, originally developed for the Iraq 1914 scenario. I'm thinking of using it on the Serbian/Greek section of the railway in the Balkan theatre.



Going to have to do some of that length/gap adjustment.

I need to adjust the distances between the various items of rolling stock. I'm assuming this basically set by the dimensions of the model in its tmod.dat, with additional general adjustment in the tlist.mpf file.

I had wondered whether the tmog system also worked with the mobile mods. Was going to do some experiments. The answer to this is that it does. I have WingmanT's Soviet Armoured train running on the Russian railway lines in 1944. http://mogggy.org/pictures/SCRN0871.jpg As the tmogs for the armoured ...
