So in theory we can use this info and create 'templates' of airfields of our choice, they reflecting the airfields as they were fairly accurately during this time. Exciting stuff as there appears to be enough goodies in the FMB to meet most of our needs. I'm not sure of this but the number of objects in the FMB are amazing

Is that right Ajay we do need more, yet we seem to have so much it's hard to tell exactly what we have, not that I've looked into static(?) objects much. Heck, I'm trying to figure out the artillary

Lol, wont take ya long mate smile What we have is good , i'm just griping.The main thing i would like above anything else (object wise) is some people in various positions (egads!) so we can get a bit of life going on.A bunch of guys kicking around in chairs at readiness , a couple of fitters working underneath planes in the hangars, workers unloading planes or cargo trucks, setting up sandbags at aa emplacements etc.

Notice also when you are playing around with vehicles that one of the options is different skins too wink

I hear ya Ajay! This is all close to my heart as my mom was in London during the Blitz and she has shared some interesting stories of survival. Her dad was a fitter in a Lancaster squadron and I have his RAF papers (ie booklet of review, perhaps a release from service document..ie..'William was a fine fitter...etc) it's been a while since I've looked at the lot.
