I thought I'd start a separate thread to post progress made extending my SWPTO scenery from Buna/Wau north & east to Finschhafen.
I thought I'd start a separate thread to post progress made extending my SWPTO scenery from Buna/Wau north & east to Finschhafen.
First, some shots from the Wau- Bulolo goldfield area...
Next, a selection of shots showing the myriad of Landing Grounds & Emergency Fields peppering the area.
And some from the area SE of the Wau valley...
Lastly, a selection of shots from the Finschhafen area. The Salamaua & Lae area has been covered in the screenshots thread before.
I'm working on a package that will do early war to mid-43. As with my Solomons package, I intend to do a separate set showing the build-up at Tsili-Tsili, Nazdab & Dreger Field at Finschhafen through the latter half of 1943.
These look great!
Looking good.
Fantastic!
Great pictures, John, looking forward to this new scenery.
The anticipation is unbearable.
What are you flying in these pics? The single engine, fixed gear.
Man, what an improvement, gorgeous shots!
It's Ralf Kreibich's Junkers W34. Pepe converted some of the model varieties (GER, CHI), but the uncowled engine variants were the one's used in supporting the goldfield operations in the Wau & Bulolo valleys during the 1930's.
A lot of the animations didn't convert over, & I'm still finessing the flight performance, but they should be ready for upload soon.
Some of the new object mdls developed for this scenery ...
Nice, very nice, UT. Like all your work it is exceptional quality and greatly appreciated.

John, I really admire you for your ability to do all this.
Scenery, airplane improvements and repaints, objects, everything!
Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Incredible work John, amazing how this sim can keep on being improved. Keep it up buddy

Amazing, great work, thanks for sharing!
Into the final stretch, just finished creating the US strips from the late '43/early '44 period:
Tsil-Tsili, all 5 Nadzab strips, & Dreger Field near to Finschhafen.
Just a lot of gsl object work to do now, to finish off how they will look...
This is outstanding work! We sure have come a long way when we look back at the original stock scenery for CFS2.
Thanks for all the effort you have put in to this. For me, good scenery is a must if I'm going to enjoy flying, and you have vastly improved the look and realism in a spot that Microsoft didn't do justice to.
Hey Unc,
No offense intended at all, but I admit that I've avoided a lot of PTO scenery makeovers over the years because they lacked sand and waves along the coastlines. I just wanted to express my appreciation at seeing this touch more and more in your work. I'm sure that involves effort of which I am clueless.

No offense intended but that's not really in my opinion a great reason to avoid the new scenery since that can be added yourself don't have to use those parts of the new scenery. Now if you had said it was because of a lack of missions or campaigns made for it or it conflicts with your favorite stock missions then I could understand your point but sand it's pretty easy to get that.
If memory serves me correct I made a sand mod awhile back and uploaded it. came from a image of the real stuff. Sorry dog poop and seagull feathers not included.
