    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

CBI Objects for CFS2 by UncleTgt

This is a collection of eye candy objects I made mainly in support of my reworking of the scenery for Burma's part of the CBI.

They are mostly single LOD models but have damage models where appropriate.

This pack includes:

Temples & Shrines (non-destructible) - A collection of generic stupas & pagodas
Botahtaung_Pagoda
BuddhistShrine1_UT
Pagoda1_UT
Pagoda2_UT
ShweDagon_Pagoda
Shwemawdaw_Pagoda

Texture Set for Rhumba Region S (CBI) - A set of "b" secenery textures to use with Rhumbas Region "S" which covers the CBI theatre

Texture Set for Rhumbas Region S
================================

View attachment 167029

This is a set of "B" textures that attempts to mimick a CBI terrain look. It's meant to be used with Rhumbas Region "S", which is the CBI, but may be useful elsewhere.

As CFS 2 uses only the "b" type terrain textures for everywhere outside of the SWPTO, I haven't included any "h" type textures, as I don't think these are required.

How to use:

Download Rhumbas Region S landclass files...

Thanks for the nice comments.

I suspect Rhumba used the FS2004 or FSX Landclass for these regions. They lack "variety" & the Asian cities "sprawl" into their surroundings is quite noticeable. But they'll do as an "undercoat", as it simplifies the need to create a more detailed landclass for everywhere across the CBI...
 
I had to upload these before I think about starting to upload any Burma scenery packs - people will only want to know where to find these objects :beaten: - so I needed a link to put in my "useful scenery downloads" textfile that I now include with each package uploaded.
 
John, you've made a great improvement to the CBI. The stock land class around Rangoon is very poor.

I've also added Region Y which is northern Australia, using Aussie's textures for that part of the world. As you say, the Regions' land class lacks variety, so I still prefer to revert to the stock land class in that area.

Does anyone know if sets of textures were made for each of Rhumba's 26 regions? I haven't been able to find anything on them under FSX on other flightsim websites.

Cheers,
Kevin
 
Up to now the CBI has escaped my attention, but with all these great new things coming along I can't wait to set up a CBI install, once I have my computer back running.
Thanks, John! šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘

Burma - Rangoon area - First in a series of scenery projects to create a "Rhumba mesh" compatible Burma/CBI theatre

Rangoon Scenery for CFS2 by UncleTgt

View attachment 168817

This is a reworking of the stock sceneries for the Rangoon area of Burma. This will be the first in a series of scenery releases, to expand & build on this area to cover more of the Burma theatre of operations.

It is designed for use with Rhumbas mesh, but as it's outside the SWPTO, should work well in a stock mesh install too.

Contents:
New Ground2K scenery for each, including fringing reefs.
New airbase scenery...
