Not Dead Yet!

Post by Ian P »

It may seem like I've done nothing of any use for the FS world for a long time and that's because... It's not true that I haven't, it's just true that I've not actually uploaded any of it. :oops:

Anyway. I've uploaded a rather large update to my scenery objects and, because most of them were created for RAF Hunsdon, I uploaded a new version of the "All in One" scenery downloads as well, which includes Hunsdon.

Relevance to A2A... Umm... P-51Ds spent time at Hunsdon? :) It's most famous for being the launch site for Operation Jehrico, the strike on Amiens Prison, though.

Interesting thingies in the libraries include a defensive gun position and a little bloke with two Browning MGs that sort of slides around inside it, pretending to look for enemy aircraft. There's a bucketload more, too. You can find them at http://www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk

Oh, one other thing. You may well be presented with a warning that the site isn't secure, or there's an invalid certificate... The first is correct, because it doesn't need to be and shouldn't be using SSL. The second is not true... Sort of. My ISP decided that I was going to have a SSL Certificate whether I wanted one or not, but rather than buying one certificate per site hosted, they bought one per account via a certificate hosting site, then mapped http://www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk to https://thehostingsite.url/myaccount/th ... onthislink!) - which means, of course, that the bleeping name on the certificate does not match the website. Yay ISP. I'm trying to get them to cancel the redirect, but in the interim, the website is NOT trying to steal your information, you shouldn't be trying to log in to it with any information anyway. There are two security companies constantly scanning the site for problems and it's locked down by software from a third, so it >IS< safe to download from and then your own AV software should scan the files before you install them anyway.

Cheers,

Ian P.

Thanks Ian, I love your work. I was actually onto the new stuff a week ago it seems. I missed RAF Hornchurch too much in P3Dv4. Imagine my surprise when, in a fit if desperation, there you were again! Great stuff, I can’t thank you enough.😀

Thanks Jacques.

I've got everything in P3Dv4 and working apparently fine - including the SODE bits. I also actually have an addon ini file set up for the All-in-One stuff, which I can put up, so that people who don't want to write their own can install it all into P3dv4 Addons and it will all work.

None of it is PBR yet. I need to learn how to do that in Blender (which apparently doesn't yet really like PBR much...) but it's better than nothing.

Cheers,

Ian P.
