RENA SCENERY



For FSX Acceleration only

Haha, I was waiting for this! Love the containers in the water!

How about tipping the ship on it's side and adding a water masked oil slick?

The scenery is a lot more upright and orderly than we've seen on the TV lol. I have added it to a non-FSX Acceleration set up. Still works though...

I'll re-check the scenery but the ship should be tilted over.

Well I dont know what happened but when I compiled the scenery everything went upright and looks nothing like what I did, I,ll see if I can fix this

I tried making my own with Instant Scenery, however after you've added the tilt angle it pops up an error stating angled objects won't be recognised when restarted in FSX. Not sure if it's a gamewide thing or just an Instant Scenery thing.

Very quick n dirty screenshot



edit - resized it

Wierd, re loaded scenery and no longer tilts, was made with instant scenery, should have ship tilted with men working side on platforms

It still gives us a reason to fly out there

Found this:
FSX .mdl files will not honor any pitch or bank setting. While IS and IS2 will display that ability when it's being used, it is FSX that does not have the ability to do this. FS9 .mdl files will honor a pitch and bank setting in object placement. It's just another item in the "we never got that finished" list from Microsoft and it's dev team.


Apparently its a SP2 problem, might try with no native fsx objects and see what happens

Ok figured out how to get around this problem, will rebuild the scenery,

might take a couple of days as I have to head back out to the bush tommorrow to work on some pylons.
