Request for Concrete Berm

[Stewart Pearson]

I wonder if someone with FSDS can create an object similar to the area marked out in the attached image.

Using google maps, I would say that something around 250 feet long by 135 feet wide would work, allowing several to be used to construct the structure shown.

As far as height is concerned - I am reliably informed that the berms are huge. To the extent that a VC-10 parked in the apron could not contact the tower by radio as the berms blocked the signal.

Thanks in advance.

If no one steps fwd . I'll give it a try.
BTW it's 1218 X 672 ft.!
I'm just finishing off a list of SAC hangers (ETA this weekend) and will put the CAF stuff on hold .
Cheers

Depends on which bit you measure Brian.

I took the section on the lower end - the idea being that with one section, I could then build up the entire structure, piece by piece.

There's no rush mate.

Hi Stewart

I will give it a try.

I would suggest making the whole structure in Gmax or FSDS.

Lining up the segments would have its own frustrations.

I have tried a rough model using boolean cuts on the ends much like skirting boards.

Are the walls as high as 22 metres?

Give me a few days

Regards

Hi John,

Whichever is easiest to do. They certainly could be that high. As I said, a mate was based there during Iraqi Freedom and doing ground movements, they could not contact the tower from a VC-10. They got the message relayed through an orbiting E-3

BTW The area surrounded by the berms was known as Bitburg (don't ask me why )

That's one way of using all that sand

I started anyway and have 6 of the sections done already

Thanks Brian,

When completed, if the file is to large to post here, email it to;

All 15 berm objects iz done .It was more a descriptive geometry excercise than modelling I'll do the inner concrete barriers tomorrow .
JPG of the WIP will be in your mail momentarily
Cheers

I've completed this for Stew but please see my question regarding placing an object ,here

Finished !!! I think I went through multiple (5) versions and 4 different textures before being more or less happy with the results . GREAT learning process as my previous object had been made and put in place just to check how they looked in game without regard to moving them elsewhere . Libraries were the answer (Thank's Mike !!!) Now to move on to other projects unless Stew wants a 6 inch square of unstressed desert sand washed/Arabian mix/ semi sun bleached/ poured concrete re textured

Only if you can do it heliotrope in colour Brian.

Many, many thanks for all the work mate - much appreciated.

And here's the evidence of the excellent job done by Brian.

Well done mate!!

You're welcome .Couldn't've done it ,however ,without Mike G.'s help over in the Learning Centre .
