Great points  Glenn..
I had issues with objects disappearing when approaching at low level when the objects density was a lot higher so I scaled back, too much I suppose...  I will keep playing with that. The intent was to populate areas where major historical battles were fought.
The skyscrapers are great fun, to swoop through, but maybe I can have another look at these. And yes I did 'nuke ' those hundreds of ponds lol.a

I agree that the skyscrapers look somehow too modern but I really don't know how they looked like 80-90 years ago. I think that you erased too many of the little "ponds" as these would most likely be irrigated paddy field. In that region you can have two-three cultivation periods in a year and irrigated rice fields in the early stage really look like ponds and this is missing in the rural areas of the map in particular along the major rivers. It would be nice to have a land use/land cover map of that period as a reference. I am sure that between the '30 and the fifties situation didn't change much. I have digital land cover data but only for more recent periods.

Can anyone tell me how to export those objects from BAT  for non BAT users?
BTW another update is in the works to add some more objects...

Simply run the Il-2 Selector (double-click the .exe in your game's root directory), select the check box labeled "dump mode", and save.

You can then immediately start the game from the selector.

Open your map in the FMB, and be sure to position yourself so that all the needed objects will fall within visual range and therefore be loaded. Once you're sure you've 'captured' all of these objects, quit the game.

In the Selector's menu deselct the "dump mode' box, and save. So that next time you're not inadvertently still in dump mode, unless that's what you want.

Now look in the game's root folder. a new folder will be named "dump." In that are all the resources the game loaded. It'll be a LOT of stuff!

To be sure you are putting together the correct objects, look at the path to the objects in static.ini.


One other thing to add!

If damaged versions are present, you'll need to get them, too.

Again, in the FMB, use the destruction brush to select the object(s) and change to the destroyed version. This will then write the resources to the "dump" folder.

thanks, it helped, it will probably be new objects from BAT that I don't have otherwise, I got at least something Bus_civilian 1 to 5, but I can't download it from Max Theirman... the first map worked well, apparently new objects were added, it happens normally BAT is in front but I don't have it quite annual

???????????????

Post 41, it's all in there. (..you probably skipped that one ) .
1- Install wall + flag + bus 1 to 6 !   ( ...are the actual bat stuff ).

2- Get the links to the grass mods, and apply some grass root copy paste into your browser search box.
Read the posts, read the instructions,  use your smarts and install three of the four said grass mods !!!!
