Soviet style shelters

Post by davidbernard »

Hi there!

I'm looking for a typical Soviet style aircraft shelter (like this one: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2514668) that can be placed with EZScenery.

Anyone done this? Or at least a shelter with grass or dirt on top?

Much appreciated!

I found some of these shelters on some Czech scenery.

You can find theses scenery on WWW.FLIGHTSIM.CZ

The BGL file with library is include. There are some with Open doors, some with closed doors.

It must be possible to use it with EZ Scenery or other Objets Placer software.

Hi,

Have you found your happiness with regard to the soviet shelters ?

If yes, can you share the BGL file with these shelters ? Thank you.

Well foufure, thanks for the link and sorry I haven't been here for a while ;-)

I tried several of the airbases, but didn't find a BGL that could be decompiled with BGL2XML. Only 'old school' API macro's were used I suppose.

Or maybe you can be a little more specific about the exact airbase you mean on their site?

What I did found in recent MAIW_Aircraft_Shelter_Library.BGL are some shelters that are also usable. But I must admit: the grass covered shelters that I saw in the Chech scenery you recommended are very appealing!

Wish I could make that work in EZ-Scenery..

Have you asked to the author of the Chezch scenery ? He certainly answer you if you ask him. I'm certain that theses shelter are not old school API.

I'll try to dscassemble the OBJECTI.BGL file with an BGL2SCM tools. But this file is the same in each of his scenery. So it must be a library.

Looks like you can't convert APIs to MDLs.

Guys I'll put this offer out there for everyone. If you guys can provide me with pictures of what you need, I can model them for you to use. Actual pictures or pictures of these API objects would be great.

I can compile them into a library for you if need be or just send you the models and textures. But the pictures are key. I don't like to "guess" when it comes to modeling structures. Too many people end up complaining.

Hi Mike,

That's a great offer! It's a little hard to find pictures, but I have put some in this album: http://picasaweb.google.nl/davidbernard69/ShelterPics#.

You will also see some pics of the forementioned (API?) models.

Thanks a bunch!

Those are excellent pics.

There's also a file (forgot where I got this from - maybe avsim.ru) which has some really nice Russian HAS's. Unfortunately, they are buried in a bgl and I can't modify it.

(That's the default FSX Bell for scale comparisons.)

It's a pretty nice FS9 scenery for Petropavlovsk-Yelizovo and the surrounding environs - though I had to remove numerous landclass bgl's to make it semi-usable in FSX.

Edited to add. Open doors would be great - or multiple models with both closed and open doors. A library would be preferable in order to use them with EZ/Instant Scenery type object placement programs - at least for me.

I did, but I don't have the time right now to make those. One of these nights I have a long list of custom made objects that various people want and I will get to them at some point.
