Military AI Works

After downloading Ray Parkers Norwegian P-3 repaints (great looking repaints, by the way) I find that the scenery for Andoya is decidedly sparse. Modded an AFCAD, but my scenery skills are pathetic to say the least
On that note, does anybody know of a scenery package for Andoya.
Lots of Norwegian packages about, but nobody seems to include Andoya.

You are right. Looks like Andoya is overlooked.

I once did a simple version, using a modified afcad and some scenery objects I placed with ez-scenery. I think I can do a lot better than that now Might do a new version using MAIW objects.. what do you think?

Dave, you know the answer to that question before you even ask it. We are all addicts here.

Would love to see one done, definitely a gap in the maritime world.

So I will make the Grande Sacrifice Already started; I'll keep you guys posted.

Guys,

As I'm working on this project I noticed some shelters for which I can't find a proper model in the MAIW libs. Sure I can pick an alternative that comes close, but maybe one of you scenery experts could take a look at it. It's a kind of 'dig-in' model with a texture that matches the surrounding surface.

Would be great if someone could find the time.

Making progress with the AFCAD...

Getting there; some finetuning and some traffic to be done. Will finish today.

Looking good!

Here's the 'beta release'

Give it a try if you like... and please tell me what you think.



You need some MAIW libs for the scenery objects:

MAIW_ABO
MAIW_aircraft_shelter_library
MAIW_MirageF1_Objects_library
MAIW_RAF_Hangars_Library

And the Vintage Military Buildings SS from flightsim.com (vintmlss.zip).

There's one hangar (the camo-type) from a HSP Greece scenery project. If you already have it, it will show up. I am trying to contact these guys to maybe include it.

David, I will do as soon as I can but its likely to be after I get back from my hols.

Think it's a good thing to point out that this scenery is optimized for Ultimate Terrain Europe. Some of the shelters are really close to the coastline and I think they might be flooded in the default FS9 scenery

If the airport background polygon extends past the shelters would they stay dry?? I'm just asking this because I'm useless with scenery and don't know better.

Love it,

Brings back some distant but fond memories.

Many thanks

Jim

I have it loaded into FSX w/Ultimate Terrain Europe, and FSGenesis Mesh, and it fits pretty nicely.

Glad you like it!

Now went over to Ørland (ENOL) for a similar scenery project, including 338 Skv F-16 traffic. After that I might get into Bodø (ENBD). A 'Norwegian Airports' version already exists, but the military part isn't very accurate.

Also did a repaint for one of the new RNoAF C-130J.

I'll keep you guys posted in a new topic.

Ah Bodø, when I was on 56 Sqn we had a nice little det there, very enjoyable.

Dave;

Tried it. Liked it very much. Only mod - I had to change the type of the two parking spots on far side of field to mil combat as the P-3's insisted on parking over there - not closer to the hangers.
Can't wait to see your Orland.

Joe,

Maybe the atc_parking_codes in your aircraft.cfg? It should match the parking code in my AFCAD or else they will park at the lowest number available (with sufficient size and the correct type - mil_cargo). This is indeed at the far Northwest side of the field, intended for an occasional visit from a C-130J.

Not at home right now but I will check the P-3's configs.
Yes indeed, have to leave room for Odin & Tor & all the others.

Just checked and all my NoAF P-3's had "P3" for parking - changed them to "P3C".
Now everybody's happy !
