Hi Adrian, Fled, here's the zip for Castle Archdale a.k.a Spot The Bismarck.
Please test it for me and let me know what you think, any errors, suggestions etc.
Thanks for your help everyone.
Cheers
Dave

Hi All, just a few pics to show the progress on Castle Archdale.

Are you still interested in this Adrian? not heard from you for a while. Smile

I'd like you to do a history read-me if possible as I know you were quite passionate about it?

Regards
Dave

Cheers for that Fled Smile

Hi Adrian, Guys, quick update on Castle Archdale.
I got the problem sorted, the base loads fine now.
Latest Screen shots. I've done the AFCAD, the AI Cats taxi to the lake, take off, do a circuit and return to their parking spots beside the shore base.
I've laid the basic hardstanding and roads aprons as best I could from the photos available. I've added the small Island missing in FS9 which is just north of the base, ( just wants a few trees on it )
Unfortunately I still haven't got the hang of GMax yet, I refuse to use ScenegenX any more, load of sh.t., and I haven't had time to do much of anything as my better half is ill and has been in and out of hospital, so I'm looking after her, our MAD Boxer, two cats and five rabbits, as well as cooking etc.
I would like it very much if someone more competent than myself fancies taking over with the scenery, it's mostly trees a few nissen huts dotted about and a couple of hangars. You can have full credit.
If not I will endeavour to finish it later, sorry Adrian, I know you're excited about it. I've attached the AFCAD so you can use it in FS9 if you wish.
Don't forget you need to use AI Cats that have had their contact points edited to be able to take off.
Regards
Dave

if you want to load the AFCAD there must be a scenery bgl for it to find the airfield as far as my recollection goes

Ok Fled, thanks, I've attached the Afcad for you to look at.
Do you have any WW2 airfield buildings I can use such as nissen huts. Looking at the one very poor photo I have of the place it was mostly prefabs?
There is one thing, I keep selecting Castle Archdale and a Cat as default flight, but every time I try to load it it gets to about 57% then crashes.
What I have to do is load the Cat with a different Airfield then hit ALT and GO TO, select Castle Archdale, and it loads fine then. Confused

Is it because I'm just trying to load a bare-bones AFCAD without scenery?

Regards
Dave

Hi Gents, sorry for the delay, here's some screenies of the progress so far on Castle Archdale.
Now managed to build the invisible runway and taxiways on the lake with Afcad, now got to do the shore base. Rolling Eyes

Everyone I've re-uploaded Usworthv1.1 as the first one was screwed, missing tower and some buildings, sorry 'bout that. Smile

Maybe someone could do Thorpe Abbots? (hint - hint)

Hi Adrian I just e-mailed Ulster Aviation, see what they can come up with. That book about Castle Archdale and Fermanagh in black and white looks handy.
