Thanks Robert, Ted, Raine, and rtoolooze, very glad to know this is looking good to you all. I've spent the last couple of mornings creating a set of textures for the outstanding model of Belfort Cathedral that Fullofit built for this project, a big "THANK YOU" again Sir for putting it together, (I have more such work if you're interested).
After getting the textures sorted out I fitted the new building into the Citadel grounds and continued adding buildings and trees and such. Here are more teasers showing the Cathedral and surrounding area as of this morning. And so far no noticeable hit in FPS with this mod.

Looking very fine Lou!! I Like the texture you created for the new cathedral Fullofit generated. Very nice indeed!

Thanks for the continued input and support folks, it is much appreciated. I've been chipping away at this project in my spare time and progress continues, though truth be told it's been a slow pace what with painting terrain tiles and model textures. Fullofit continues to generously donate his time and talents to this as well by building more of the needed 3D models, and many thanks again Sir for all of them. I am posting a couple of screenshots here to showcase the stones and crosses Fullofit recently completed for the cemetery section of this mod. Notice too the fine old stone arch bridges he built as well - very nice! (right-click on an image and open it in a new window to view it full size)

Been waiting for a time to be able to give this a go, finally have some time this weekend. Can't wait to try it out! Grateful for your time Lou, Fullofit! Looks amazing!
Looking good Lou! Most credit goes to you and your unwavering dedication to this project.

Adger, glad you like the looks of the place.
Fullofit, your talent and time have been indispensable to this mod, my hat's off again.
Jenks, hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.
Folks, I believe I am at about critical mass in terms of object density in my Belfort project. I am going to spend a bit more time swapping some things around and cleaning up the edges so that I can give you all a beta version for testing. I am hoping the majority of you will be able to run this monster without a major hit to your FPS, we shall see.
Here is a screenie showing how it has shaped up at this point.

That is ... BIG. No way you’ll miss it when navigating. Thanks for your effort Lou.

Another great landmark to aid all us Wrong-Way Corrigans. And that looks remarkably like the first Gare de Belfort in the foreground, not the 30's era 'modern' one. This really is quite special. Cheers, shredward

Great, GReat, GREAT! Just, pls, make an airbase xml file in accordance with my template so we can enjoy realistically populated Belfort airfield. Thx, Sir.

Good Morning All,
I've been away from my WOFF computer for the last several days and during my absence I was nagged by the unconnected look of Belfort's sister aerodrome up the road, Fontaine. I had been flying past it repeatedly while placing the ring of forts into the landscape and it just bugged me every time I saw it plopped on the edge of a wood with no rhyme nor reason. Shredward had sent me some contemporary photos of the place earlier in the week so this AM early, (I couldn't sleep so I was up at 3:00), I decided to rough out a proper Fontaine aerodrome to go along with the new Belfort. Here is a screenie showing the beginnings of this addition to an already large mod: (right-click on image and open in new window to view it full size)
This will of course push out the completion time on this project but such is war. And Jara, I am most certainly making this mod compatible with yours as you requested some time back.
Lou, I wonder if you were able to do anything about the railyard just north west of Belfort airfield. It is painfully evident in the stock version, that the buildings are smack dab in the middle of the road that runs through the facility which obliterates the integrity of the road itself!

Robert, if you look at the recent photos I've posted of the new Belfort you will see that the stock railyard is long gone and a more accurate and properly placed version is already part of the mod.
