Anybody want more (simple) scenery?

All my patience has just flown out the window

[jetpilot1980]

Be patient... perhaps a surprise soon

Do you know something factual or is this just wild speculation....?

That's factual. I've seen GMax screens

[jetpilot1980]

Well would be nice if whomever is doing it would come forward with some previews ect... I was considering have a go at it myself but if someone else is already doing it I would be just as happy... as it will take me a ton of time and work for such a project...

I've seen some screens. I've read about two packs. First with J-10A, and second with J-10B, J-10C and Pakistani's J-10C.
Some other chineese projects are also on the fire (at different stages of production)

I'll try to see if I can put some screens.

[jetpilot1980]

Please do... I will be curious to see what may be coming... Also I would be curious to hear what other Chinese projects are in the fire? As I was considering some myself, but don't want to do overlapping / repeating work with someone else... Would rather focus my own efforts on filling gaps than re-inventing the wheel... Also you say "seen and read" where at? On another forum or? If so what forum? Thanks

Another great set Jim and I do appreciate the rotary wing AFDs. In Pt. 11, not sure if I'm missing "VOGA, Manohar/Goa" in the download.

[Jim]

Thanks for the spot Chris. I'll leave VOGA here for now.

Hi folks,

A lot of my sceneries use trees from this object library...
Prepar3D v4\Scenery\Global\scenery\vegetation.bgl

However they don't switch textures with the seasons, as I cannot see any ".lua" scripts for them.
(I believe P3D somehow switches their seasons by another method for creating autogen.)

I do know how to make script files for each texture using MCX, but there are a heck of a lot of them to do. As I'm a lazy sod, I thought I'd ask if anyone has done the legwork already and is willing to share please?

Jim

[Jim]

Otherwise, I'll start churning them out with a text editor for all the types & sizes and share them here myself...

[md11driver44]

I wish someone would update Osan AB.

OK, turns out I only need 7 script (.lua) files, but it took me hours of trial and error to get things working. My sceneries have a lot of shortcomings, but trees stuck in summertime have been bugging me for some time, so have given this a go.

The scripts go in F:\Prepar3D v4\Scripts. [Easy to edit for your own preferences: summer is default, SP=spring, FA=fall, WI=winter, HW=hard winter(snow covered) and the numbers count the days of the year that each is used between.] I've over-used mesquite trees (i.e. in the wrong climates), so have compromised by not using hard winter for them.

Disable your own Prepar3D v4\Scenery\Global\scenery\vegetation.bgl object library, but keep it as backup!
Place my version vegetation_JFM_seasonal.bgl in that folder and ALSO into Addon Scenery\scenery (wherever you have yours; mine is in a remote Prepar3D v4 Add-ons drive).

COPY all the texture files that those libraries use to Addon Scenery\texture. (I've included them here for convenience.)

Notes
- vegetation_JFM_seasonal.bgl was created in Model Converter X, and output for P3Dv4 (SDK v4.5).
- My sim also has a similarly named FTX_Vegetation_FULL.BGL global library, I think from Orbx Global Base. I leave that as is, and don't think I've broken autogen. Check your autogen too.
- Some of my sceneries use other tree libraries such as MAIW_Czech ones, and they are summer-only.
- My Add-ons are divided into packages for regions (to save load times) and modern/retro, so was thinking about using different scripts for each, but would probably be better using more appropriate tree types.
- My most recurring bug was still getting summer-only trees with my scenery which is why I duplicated the files in addon scenery. Plus paths in the scripts to your texture files is important.

Remember to back stuff up first to be able to put things back the way they were yourself. This may not work for you.

Robert,

A P3D (ADEP4) scenery for Osan RKSO was included in the Matrix releases. The files are dated May 2018 and I can send you copies if you wish; parking allocations will need updating. Or are you looking for something more recent?

Geoff

[Jorgen]

I'm a customer for that RKSO scenery also.

I would be interested in copies.

How would I look this up in the Wayback Machine? If it is in there?

[tango234]

You can't, it was provided via a application-based download so was not something obtainable via the wayback machine.
