Hi George..

Yes.. as far as I'm aware, there isn't a great deal to choose between em. From the sea, they all look pretty much the same.. guess they do from the air too :) Someone did this scenery ages ago.. perhaps for fs2002, can't remember, but one was definitely no mans land fort. I found the zip a while back on one of my old drives while looking for something else. This one looks like it could be ok to use in FSX being FS9 vintage :)

EDIT: George.. if it doesn't add to the FR's too much, I'd be inclined to go for Spitbank and No Mans Land. Spitbank looks in pretty good nick.. probably as it's open to the public. Never been in any of em but been past em all plenty of times :RN: :lol:

I think Darren (of Treescapes fame) did St Helens Fort for FS9.

I'll place the other three, but it will need to be a private transaction cos I've made a library of the forts and updated the textures :hide:

No prob George and thanks :thumbsup:

I found St Helen's and No Mans Land over at Allnodes. I can see St Helens misplaced off the IoW but I fear No Mans Land is at the bottom of the Solent 8) :lol:

I am not too thrilled with the models or the textures.

Here is an AI Helicopter landing at No Man's Land:

I have to agree George. I've only seen the one (St Helen's I think) and it left a lot to be desired :( A hundred years of weathering and a good coating of soot would make all the difference. Surprised no one from ES/GenX made these as addon's. Surely they couldn't be any more intricate than making the Needles or Spinnaker Tower :dunno:

Off to work now.. back around 2300 :)

Mike..

Perhaps an odd question.. is SAMM2 supposed to be able to convert any model to static or is this just for aircraft? Reason I ask is because I've just looked at it.. pointed it to an AI ship (in the Boats folder) I wanted to make a static and it reported no files found. Is it looking for an airfile cause if it is.. it won't find one :|
