OK guys whoever has the files that you want to make downloadable I just made a set of instructions on how to get into my site and add the file for download.

Which ever of you want it pm me and I'll send it to ya. It's easy enough.

EDIT: oops just caught your post. either way if it's easier for you to upload directly to my site I trust ya and will give the info.

Roger Dodger, Fr8ycat.......actually I just asked Ascout to send you some info so we can all collaborate in the same spot....Ascout, in that PM is the HTTP address you wanted, and some other cool info.

This is shaping up!

How would I use that, Fr8ycat? What do I need to know? (I don't have an FTP program installed)

Also, Al's barrelled/sandbagged buildings are WAY better than some of the barracks...I just checked 'em out...gonna' switch some out...and the Chapel looked great.....

Stoopy, can you provide a downloadable-from-outside FTP addy that Al Simms could download my newer Phu Bai from? I'd like him to take a look at it and all he has access to is the first version....

He's probably not registered here.

If you guys need it I have my freebie DSL site. You can use it if you like.

you guys take as much time as you need to make this the way you want it & we'll be there when its done to execute..lol...looks like its gonna be somethin else when its all said & done.

OK, hold the phone then...Simms has some cool bunkers and a better chapel than I was able to build for Phu Bai...and we had a big 'un (we might need it, too....not all of you are gonna' make it back....).

Well, Al has some 175mm SP arty that would be perfect for a firebase, but FSB B'ham might be just out-of-range of Phu Bai design envelope. Also, the real B'ham was on a hill (as most of them were up north), and this would make a big conflict for those with and without mesh. The location is distinctive with the mesh, not so without.

Maybe we should go "as is"...and refine it later, unless that's a lot of trouble?

JG300-fr8ycat · Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 3:29 pm Post subject: Re: Military Flights

The new base is looking nice Ascout. I say don't release it until your happy with it. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be available til' around oh say midnight tonight Laughing

.......jes kidin the end of this month anyways.

Looks like you guys have put alot of work and detail into this and I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Like Stoop said I can't think of anything being offered like this with the detail and options available.

Look forward to it.

JG300-Stoopy · Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 3:03 pm Post subject: Re: Military Flights

I still need to plot out the flight plans so they cross and meet properly, and merge in the other stations/firebases then make a full BGL file for them and whatever navaids, so you have time I believe....my own opinion is do what you gotta do, since we want this right.....

This may have exceeded the original expectations for a simple group of military planes on one common flight as an MP activity, but given the subject matter, interests, and talent here...plus the lack of anything like this having been done before and it's availability as a "package" for future flights, it seems worth the extra effort...opinions?

JG300-Ascout · Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:51 pm Post subject: Re: Military Flights

Yo...all the textures look "there", I'm amazed. The road may "fade" depending on if one has mesh or not, but not a big deal. One hangar has a funny "tan" color and looks a litter different (more modern and nice than reality), but I have a hiccup in my FSSC now and it might be importing the wrong tex files. Not worth messing with, IMO.

Also, You can see I added the ridge that makes up Hill 180 and scaled it down to realistic size. It's redundant for those with mesh, and I could make one with, and one without, it. Not any trouble at all...if you don't have the mesh, you need it, though.

The map is harder to read with the clouds, I'd need compare to the JOG images, but it looks pretty close. If downloading as a package, I could always incluse a larger JOG version of the area that wasn't downsized so much.

If we had a few more days, I could add some of Al Simms cool stuff that I didn't have before...or do you wanna' go with it now?

JG300-Stoopy · Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:28 pm Post subject: Re: Military Flights

And also, give this a quick look-over to see if the locations appear right.

This is form taking the info on the maps and then using the terrain map that Google Earth shows to place the locations in the valley floors, and the ingress points should be in spots that allow coming up through an adjoining valley and crossing a final ridge to swoop down in by surprise....also seems to match what is shown on the larger map with Yankee Station and Da Nang.

I'll use these coordinates and also will have to add a few Navaids to route the Skyraiders in for support...sorry this is taking so long.

LZ's are marked in red and the ingress points are blue/green. Khe Sanh is up northwest of course.
