gehall63 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 In this, the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War I wonder if there is a talented Canadian or other scenery designer who would create a scenery package of the Vimy Ridge Memorial in France ????

shanwick Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Have you thought of having a go at doing this yourself? You can download Google SketchUp for free here: http://www.sketchup.com/download and a very good tutorial on how to use SketchUp and get the finished product into FS2004 and FSX here: http://www.calclassic.com/sketchup_tutorial.htm There's quite a bit to learn and do but it's fun and you will acquire new skills.

gwillmot Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Have you thought of having a go at doing this yourself? Dijvid Is asking for a developer to do this, not HOW to do it. Haven't we gone done this route before? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to find this kind of response from you tiring and vexatious to the point that I will no longer bother to take any further notice of your posts.

eric5150 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They have this in the Trimble 3d warehouse...I'm going to ask the author for permission to use it to translate it into FS2004. Might take a couple of days if he says yes.

If you need any help on getting this into a format for use in FS2004 then this link will give you all the info you need: http://www.calclassic.com/sketchup_tutorial.htm Dijvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwillmot Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]173240[/ATTACH] Just waiting for author's permission but it can be done. Eric Looks like FS2004 in your picture. Is it? What ground textures are you using, they look very good. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehall63 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Eric; That looks great, keeping fingers crossed that the author will provide permission. I visited the Vimy Memorial in May of this year, it was my 2nd time seeing it and it still affected me deeply. Cheers Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric5150 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's been a while since I've been able to flight sim and model (graduate program ending this year (3 more classes to go) with 400 hour internship and 80 hour assessment on top of the classes). I'm anticipating a lot more free time after that to model. I'm using Flight One Ground Environment Professional along with Flight One Ultimate Terrain for Europe here. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I also have Real Environment Extreme Overdrive for FS2004 working. Have to make winter texture for the Vimy Memorial ground scenery too.....I got the go ahead.

Been there, done that ...... and recognize how intensive it can be. Thanks for coming to the rescue of the original poster. Really glad you can help him (us) out. Good show!

eric5150 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I haven't had time to make the winter textures work nor have I done night textures but here's a link to the Vimy Memorial that will work for now.

gehall63 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Eric, The monument looks great, the rendition of "Canada Mourns" is almost eerie. Long term it would be good to eliminate the buildings and roadways close to the monument to create a rendition of the Vimy park .... but very impressed so far.

eric5150 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I believe the park would not have houses if you bought an upgrade to your landclass scenery. I use Ultimate Terrain Europe by Flight1 and I have no houses around the memorial. It also has the real roads in it so whatever you see in my screenshot below is probably the best you're going to get for FS2004.
