Landclass Patches for Solomon Islands & Bougainville
Updated 08-JUL-23 to includes areas of Eastern Solomons & New Hebrides from my recent Expansion scenery pack.
These landclass patches were created using Dussell Dirk's EZLandclass2.
They are only required if you DO NOT have Rhumba's CFS2 Tropical Landclass installed.
This is because the new LWM polys cover areas that the stock CFS2 Landclass does not cover (presumably thinking they should be water). Depending on the textures you use, these may show as grey featureless squares. The bitmap name is 000h2su1.bmp, & this is called for when no landclass exists.
These patches cover these areas with 058h2su1.bmp instead, which is a mid-green jungle/forest texture. These landclass patches also cover up the horrible-looking stock airbase sand textures for Henderson, Vella Lavella & Munda & replaces them with green jungle.
Rhumbas CFS2 Tropical Landclass covers all of these areas with a more appropriate blend of textures. IMHO it's a better solution, but there will be some users that just don't want to have an extra scenery layer, so these Landclass Patches give these users a workaround.
To install, simply move these files into the Solomon_Islands_UT/scenery folder.
NOTE: Prior to adding the "Espiritu_LC_patch.bgl, you should remove the Ambrym_LC.bgl first, as this will conflict with it, covering the same area. The Espiritu_LC_patch includes Ambrym & reproduces the lava field as well.
