Reply #66 - Mar 23rd, 2006 at 10:58am My tips on how improve European sceneries.

Europe

I installed McClelland UK sceneries.

1.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery3.htm

I added Ian Elliot London upgrade and Mathias CFS1 airbases o my European Theater.

2.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery8.htm

Then I added the European Coast line to my install.

3.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery11.htm

I also install the BOB selfinstall scenery by Gary Bums.

4.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery13.htm

I also went downloaded Simouthouse Europe Mesh at their backup site.

5. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/master_ftp/cfs2/cfs2-scenery/

You can either install Sim-outhouse or Netwings sceneries Mesh. They both are of very good quality. Its up to you.

6.http://www.netwings.org/library/CFS2%5FScenery/

part two:http://www.netwings.org/library/CFS2%5FScenery/index-2.html

Last but not least I recommend you down load McClelland European Scenery for CFS2. Its a must if you really want to improve this program sceneries up to grade. With his sceneries you will not only have Cities and forest but also roads.

7.http://www.aer.ip3.co.uk/scenery.htm Website not working

You must install this European Texure upgrade. Its the best one in my humble opinion.

8.http://www.mlk-airbase.wz.cz/msfs/scenery/texture_swap.html

You get a cities upgrade right here in this Web. It will not make the cities look more real from 1000 feet and below but it make them look better from 1000Ft and above.

I hate CFS2 clouds. Thanks to our members there are some new clouds available as well.You can get the one from Sim-outhouse call Stiz Clouds or LW clouds. Its you choice. I have install them both in different install that I have. You also download a new Sun.

I forgot Stiz European Water. This is also a must.

9.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.ph...ploadName=stiz
Europe has never looked so good in this program

New

You can also add Seasonal Texutures at Avsim.
They are call cfs2hw.cfs2sp,cfs2su,scfswi,and cfs2fa.Look for them through the search engine at AvSim.Warning you will have to do it Manualy, but its real easy and lots of fun once you figure it out.

[url=10http://www.avsim.com/]10http://www.avsim.com/[/url]

This are General upgrades. There are more specific area upgrades that are also available for you pleasure.

Check out this Web dedicated for the improvement of European Scenery.

11.http://combatfs.homeip.net/cfs2coast/

I want to Thank this Website and the others like Netwings and Sim-ouhouse and all the Sceneries Developers and smaller Websites for Helping us enjoy this program with your talent. Without out your help this program would not have been the joy it is today.





PS my next post on this subject will be on the Pacific Theater.

On to the Pacific Theater.


Updated 1-2-9

This are my recomendation for upgrading the Pacific scenries in CFS2!

This are my tips on how to improve your Pacific sceneries.


This is what I recommend to improve your Pacific Theater scenery.

First you should get Stiz wonderful World Texures.

1.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery17.htm
and also this package of Aifields for Asia here CFS2 Eastern Asia WWII Runways Scenery Full Consolidated Package.

Then I would get the Pacific Coast upgrade.

2.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery11.htm

Following that install CFS2 Tropical Texture.

3.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery12.htm

You can also install Stiz Pacific Ocean Texure by Stiz.

4.http://www.simviation.com/cfs2scenery17.htm

You can also fix the Pacific Ocean with Stiz Pactex 1 to 5 folders. Remember the Pactex is just for fun. You can the different shore looks as you with Pactex folder 5.

5.http://www.demons7th.com/pactex.html

The best Japan Scenery available is this one.

6.http://flightinfo.ens.ne.jp/tmurakam/terrain/

Or you can try this one if you like.

7.http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/fsclubnet/

You can also install the Philippines sceneries I install. Its of very good quality.

8.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/master_ftp/cfs2/cfs2-scenery/

You should also install eawwii Asia 360 Airfields complete and Japan Mainland airfield package of 93 airfields.

9.http://www.netwings.org/library/CFS2%5FScenery/index-3.html

You can improve your Burma scenery by installing Lowengrin Burma Dynamic Campaign and installing his Burma scenery. Beside its a pretty good Campaign.

10.http://members.shaw.ca/dcgen/dcg_burma.html

You should also get Maskrider Scenery packages. They are one of my favorite. They include beautiful Pacific Theater Airfields.

11.http://www.netwings.org/library/Microsoft%5FCFS2/Maskrider%5FScenery/

I also recommend Stiz or LW Clouds at Sim-ouhouse. They are quite a improvement over the stock clouds. You can also get new clouds at:

12.http://fsw.simflight.com/

NEW

You can also install Hawaii scenery from this Website.

13.http://fly.to/mwgfx

Alaskan scenery.

14.http://rcaf440redbat.homestead.com/Scenery.html

Go to its CFS2 scenery section and you will find there.

A simple explanation I found on how to activate new sceneries.

14.http://flug.hp.infoseek.co.jp/enghow.htm

Now you do not have any excuses. You can not tell your family you will not take them to Europe and visit London or Paris. You can"t say you can not effort to fly to the Far East. Its available with a Joystick and a good plane. You have over one thousand plane to chose from. All you have to do is wait until the war is over. Other wise you might be shot down. LoL

Just enjoy it as much as possible.

This is not the only good sceneries available for this Sim. This are my suggested sceneries only.

I hope I have been helpful

Now I"m enjoying this Sim more than ever and I hope you are as well. Now you can fly all over the World in what ever Theater you want with visual style.

I enjoy flying as much over the European Theater as the Pacific Theater. I hope you do to. They both give me a special kind of joy.


I hope I have been helpful

Re: New Links and Webs dedicated for CFS2?
Reply #68 - Mar 23rd, 2006 at 11:02am I have decide to make a post placing most of the links I have with CFS2 planes. I hope to you like this post. My only objective is to help fellow members to find most of the planes that have been develope throughout the years for this community by its dedicated developers.

My first recomdation if you to install Acman from this Website that will anable you to install most if not all this planes in different Hangars and in different CFS2 Installs.

1.http://fly.to/mwgfx#

A WORD OF CAUTION

When you use the Acman and create a new Hangar you need to include the stock planes. What you can do is to make a New Folder and place a copy of the Stock planes in it. When you make the new Hangar just copy the stock planes from this Folder. Remember also that you are limit to 95 to 100 planes per Hangar. You do get up to18 Hangar with this program.


My secound recommendation is for you to install this utility from Sim-outhouse that will allow you to change planes and ships with in a Miision and Campaigns in secounds.

It also will give the ability to change whole planes Hangars and convert them into Ai Bandits in Quick mission.

This way you do not have activate plane after planes manualy. Its call mk_cfs2_uti2v.zip

Re: New Links and Webs dedicated to CFS2?
Reply #78 - Jun 15th, 2006 at 12:52pm I have found a way to take Screen Shots in CFS2. All you need is to install this program call FRAPS and basically you can strat taking pictures immediatley.


Here is how it works.

1.Down load FRAPS

2.I install it. It usually it install intself inside my Computer C. You can also pick the location where you it install. It will create its own Folder call FRAPS.

3. Go inside the Folder call FRAPS. CLICK on the Icon call FRAPS 99. Activate Start Fraps by Minimizing it or other option.

4. Start CFS2.

5.Start Free Flight or Quick combat.

6.Press F10 if you want a Screen Shot and or if you want a short 30 secound movie press F9.

7.Minimize CFS2.

8.Go back to FRAPS folder and click on either the Movie or Screen Shoots you have just made.
Its real easy.

The best thing about it that it will allow to take shots not only in CFS2 but also with most games you play in. Another thing is that there are no limitation to the number of Movies or Screen Shoots that you can make.

You can also use it as Gun camera or simply make a short movie of a mission you really like. Its your choice. You are the Movie Director.

Here is the Web where you can find FRAPS:http://www.fraps.com/

I hope enjoy this information

James007

PS I want to thank Bear for helping me figuring out this program.

Now I want to see your Screen Shots in this Forum

For your best camera shots, Go to virtual cockpit and press the right braket key on your key board. This will give you a close up view of the cockpit gun sight. Press F9 and that will activate Fraps or press what ever else your camera program needs to be activated with and this will give you a great camera shot view.

Do not be surprise to find out you need more practice on your shooting angles and on your aiming.

Its simply a lot of fun!

You can find some European Campaign for CFS2 here http://ramirez412001.wetpaint.com/page/Eastern+Front+-+Dual-sided+campaigns
