Re: Static aircraft for MSFS?

Thank you for your reply, but I am talking about MSFS. Does the SAMM software work with MSFS? Pete

Static aircraft for MSFS?

I am in the beginning stages of helping someone create NAS Cecil Field, FL. for MSFS. Static A-7s and S-3s will be needed, and I have no clue how to create them. Do such static models already exist? Thanks, Pete

Re: Water elevation problems with KNHK Patuxent scenery in P3DV4.5

I appreciate your efforts, Ripcord. More than anything, I really like the old hangars in the scenery, because they are a great depiction of the real ones. As for static aircraft, I prefer Cold War era ( which is the time period when I was stationed there). Phantoms, Veggies, Corsair IIs, Tomcats, Cr...

Ripcord, I have been trying to contact you via PM, but for some reason my messages are not being sent. Pete

Re: Duplicate SimObjects

Thanks Greg, for your reply. I will continue to try and find a answer. It happens every time I install any of the regions. I have not manually installed any of John Young's packs. Pete

Re: Duplicate SimObjects

I am having the same problem now. I do not see any addon.xml file problems. This is really annoying. I finally uninstalled North America until I can get a solution for this. Pete

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Thanks so much for taking a look at Wake Island. I belong to a Facebook group of people who were stationed there. Lots of pictures available, if you want me to send you some. Pete

Hey Tim,

I found some nice looking free tropical vegetation for download! https://www.flight-sim-jewels.com/tropical-vegetation/

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

That looks great!! Btw, this is what the terminal looked like, or used to, anyway. Zip file of some pictures. Typhoon may have changed it all a couple years back. Pete

Hey Tim,

I will give ADE a go. As for John Stinstrom, he seems to have vanished from the sim scene. I have tried, over the years to contact him, but no luck. Pete

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Yes it does, except for a few things. One of the hangars is out of place (not in line with hangar next to it), plus one hangar is incorrect color, and there is a "floating" airfield light. Probably some more small things, but would have to look. Just like Iwakuni, Cecil has changed a lot s...

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Btw, when I was at Iwakuni, I had the MOST fortunate experience to catch a ride with a USMC C-130 to take a Liquid O2 cart to Wake Island. When we landed, the Marines said they had other destinations to go to, and would pick me up in 8 days. It was the most glorious time I have ever had in my life, ...

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Even if I am able to locate the version of the airfield from that timeframe, I do not know how to install it! What are the flying for?

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Tim, I really don't know if there is a version that depicts the time when I was briefly there. And the thing is, I am definitely not picky about details. I spent very little time anywhere near the airfield. I was a Aviation Structural Mechanic CPO, but was sent to fill a slot in the detachment from ...

Earlier today, I tried to locate the aircraft shelter object files, but couldn't determine which ones they were, and gave up😕 Pete

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

Well, I do have the Global Object Library installed; or at least Matrix says it is installed. But you are correct about MAIW_ABO.bgl being missing. I did a file search for it in MAIW directories, and it is not there. I am confused. Why would it have not been installed?

Re: Problems with stock runways/elevation at MCAS Iwakuni.

I deselected Iwakuni scenery, located near bottom of Scenery library. Not as pretty, but it works. Pete
