Are their any plans to convert Brian Clarke's packages to the matrix?

He is making all of these high quality bases but its only for FS9!

Hopefully in the future, we can enjoy his in Prepar.

Thanks,

Jon

It's definitely something I'd like to do at some point.

That being said, if anyone did the conversion already and if Brian agrees I'd be happy to include the files in the next updates.

The problem might be with the third party libraries that Brian has used quite extensively. Some are now included in the MAIW Object Libraries, but there are probably some that are not. We won't necessarily have permission to convert those unfortunately. There's a few objects I made for Brian, but feel free to convert those.

John

If somebody could tell me which libraries we are talking about - I was busy bringing in approvals to convert and use many libraries.

This is the list from Brian's RNAS Yeovilton, as an example:

GENERIC LIBRARY OBJECTS Default
MAIW ATSUGI OBJECT LIBRARY
MAIW EGXC OBJECT LIBRARY MAIW RAF Coningsby v1
MAIW BEAUFORT OBJECTS LIBRARY
MAIW ABO LIB OBJECTS All MAIW packages
MAIW GGSE OBJECTS LIBRARY Most US packages

MAIW CZECH OBJECTS LIBRARY Czech Gripens
MAIW RAF DOMESTIC BUILDINGS LIBRARY Most UK packages

MAIW RAF HANGARS OBJECTS LIBRARY Most UK packages
MAIW CARGO OBJECTS LIBRARY Most US packages
MAIW MIRAGE F1 OBJECTS LIBRARY French Mirage packages

Have we got any further with these?

I missed John’s extensive answer. Will look it up this evening and comment. Sorry for that

Only two are not converted, I can do that if needed.

MCD was always explicitly forbidden to be included

MAIW ATSUGI OBJECT LIBRARY --> Matrix: Atsugi_Object_Library_P3D.BGL
MAIW EGXC OBJECT LIBRARY MAIW RAF Coningsby v1 --> Matrix: n/a, I can convert that for you
MAIW BEAUFORT OBJECTS LIBRARY --> Matrix: Beaufort_Object_Library_FSX.BGL
MAIW ABO LIB OBJECTS All MAIW packages --> Matrix: MAIW_ABO_P3D.BGL
MAIW GGSE OBJECTS LIBRARY Most US packages --> Matrix: GGSE_FSX.BGL
MAIW BRITISH MILTARY VEHICLES LIBRARY Most UK packages --> Matrix: MAIW_British_Military_Vehicles_ Library_FSX.BGL
MAIW CZECH OBJECTS LIBRARY Czech Gripens --> Matrix: MAIW_Czech_Objects_Library_FSX.BGL
MAIW RAF DOMESTIC BUILDINGS LIBRARY Most UK packages --> Matrix: MAIW_RAF_Domestic_Buildings_Library_FSX.BGL
MAIW TECHNICAL BUILDINGS LIBRARY Most UK packages --> Matrix: MAIW_RAF_Technical_Buildings_Library_FSX.BGL
MAIW RAF HANGARS OBJECTS LIBRARY Most UK packages --> Matrix: MAIW_RAF_Hangers_Library_FSX.BGL

MAIW FENCE JS.BGL LIBRARY Most MAIW packages --> Matrix: Fence_JS_FSX.BGL
MAIW EGNB OBJECTS LIBRARY UK Hawks --> Matrix: n/a, I can convert that for you
MCD MILITARY OBJECTS LIBRARY Most US packages --> don't think Michael Carr has ever given the approval to include this
MG ADF 40F TRUCKS OBJECTS LIBRARY RAAF packages --> Matrix: MG_ADF_40ft_Trucks_FSX.BGL
MG BODY TRUCKS COLLECTION OBJECTS LIBRARY RAAF packages --> Matrix: MG_BodyTrucks_Collection_FSX.BGL

PARKING LOTS LARGE SS BGL OBJECTS LIBRARY --> Sidney Schwarz will approve if I ask

Hi Martin
Where are these stored?
Looking for the FSX versions

Cheers
Gary

You can download them with Greg's Matrix tool.

From mobile hence short

Can someone clarify please
If I am using FSX I would need to delete all the P3d conversions ?

Cheers

Gary

Gary, just tell me, which libraries you need and in what version, I will send them to you.


From mobile hence short

is they a update for the sheltes that 12 squadron for raf for flight sim 2004

for coningsby

No, there isn't, nor is there likely to be for Ian's version.

Hi Martin
Not sure as yet but any FSX conversions you have you could drop them in my folder on the FTP if you use it.
That would be most helpful.
The Atsugi one is one I can remember though.


Cheers


Gary

I will give you my full Monty, Gary
Later today in your folder

Martin,

I'm also interested in those library objects for P3D.

When you say "You can download them with Greg's Matrix tool", how does this work please? I'm not a Matrix user, but I may need to instruct users how to do it when using Brian's sceneries with my models.

If we have permission to convert them for Matrix and users can download them, why can't they be included in a stand alone Global Object library?

John

Matrix is just a downloader toolkits the added intelligence to make the downloads known to Prepar3D.

If you start the Matrix program, it offers you to download the general and continent specific files.

After that is done, the usage of Matrix has ended. The files are now on your local disk, and the Folders have been made known to P3D.

If you are only after the libraries, you can move them away, delete the rest, and remove the addon entry from P3D

Is that clear enough, John. Otherwise I will post some screenshots.


From mobile hence short

Martin, that's what I feared.

So why do P3D non-Matrix users have to go through all that palaver to get at the libraries. Why can't they be placed in a Global Object Library for direct download? We obviously have permission for the conversion.

John
