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

[rotton50]

I can handle that with an assist from Ed.


Ed, see if you can find a side view and a head on shot of those hangars. Color if possible, but not mandatory.

If you just post a link to them I can grab them and use them to do the skin.




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?

[EdLaz]

It's the best I could find, and I've also included a short description to help guide you

Zeppelin hangars were constructed with a large internal structure made up of heavy wooden or steel beams and trusses, reinforced with diagonal braces to withstand wind and support the huge arched roof; the exterior was usually covered with vertically placed wooden planks or corrugated metal sheets, while the front had giant sliding wooden doors with metal reinforcements that opened fully to allow the airship to enter; as for colors, the exterior normally displayed natural wood brown, weather-worn gray, military dark green, or dark gray, and the interior was usually left in light or brown wood with dark gray or black metal structures, giving the hangar a functional, robust, and undecorated appearance, designed primarily to protect and maintain the large Zeppelin airships.

I can handle that with an assist from Ed.

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 the first new Tmod - 73

[rotton50]

Ed, I need straight on pictures of the side and end of the hangars so I can cut and paste them into a graphics editor like Photoshop. From there I can build a skin to apply to the wireframe (What we call the 3dz file)




Moggy, I was thinking about the various hangars in the extended TMOD list. There's a
number of them and I'm not sure which would be the best base for the enlarged hangar.

If you have the extended list somewhere you could just e-mail it to me. I can take it from there as I do have a working EAW2015 setup from which I could pick out all the hangars.

I'm still grinding down from all these sources a target list for WW1.

[rotton50]

Yep, that's it, Thanks.

I'm about 3/4 done with the FE2b and I get on this. Shouldn't take too long.

[EdLaz]

[rotton50]

Perfect!

[EdLaz]

French anti-aircraft guns

• Canon de 75 anti aérien mle 1913

• Canon de 75 anti aérien mle 1913 in a truck to facilitate mobility

• Canon de 75 anti aérien mle 1913 Static

• A 75mm Model 1897 cannon used as an anti-aircraft weapon by the French army near the Marne in 1916

[EdLaz]

British anti-aircraft guns

• QF 1-pounder pom-pom

• QF 2-pounder Mark II

The British also used this piece of French artillery at the beginning of the air conflict; it would be this very one, Canon de 75 modèle 1897 also call the autocanon de 75 mm mle 1913 for the AA version

• QF 12-pounder 12 cwt AA gun

• QF 13-pounder 6 cwt AA gun

• QF 13-pounder Mk IV AA gun

• Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorry

[Moggy]

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. Should make choosing useful objects for WW1 easier.

Blessings on whoever created the universal renamer utility. Makes recursive creation of the numbered folders and most of the contents fairly quick and easy. Creating the screenshots is taking the time, but worth the effort in the long run.

[EdLaz]

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention this.

During the first two years of aerial warfare, especially in conflicts like World War II, heavy machine guns were mainly used as defense against low-flying enemy aircraft. These weapons, usually between 12.7 mm and 20 mm in caliber, were mounted on fixed positions or mobile platforms and aimed to deter or shoot down planes attacking strategic targets, such as cities, factories, or military convoys.

Their effectiveness relied on fire density and coordination between multiple guns: a single gun had a low chance of hitting an aircraft, but several guns firing together could create a “curtain of bullets” that made attacks much more difficult. However, they were less effective against high-altitude bombers because their maximum range was limited and accurate targeting was challenging without specialized tracking systems.

In short, heavy machine guns served as a first line of anti-aircraft defense, particularly against low-level attacks, providing immediate protection to troops and installations before larger guns or dedicated anti-aircraft artillery could engage.

I'm pretty sure that was done by Tony at my request. I never used it though, can't remember why.

I'll wait until you get it all set up before I get involved.
