About SimNation Airforces

[Richie99 159]

So guys this is what am up to :

Am gathering stuff by way of plugins which I will be using for a country building project if I am fortunate to get my own laptop this year.

Currrently am on the military and I've got it well covered with SNM stuff but when it comes to creating a custom airbase am not making a headway.I need that building with red and white markings(saw it in delta force airfields but have forgotten the name),military aircraft(models of the current warplanes that you find in real life superpowers),ploppable military helicopters or helipads as well as animation props for military planes for use with RMIP.

I would be glad if you can post any links to such stuff as well as anything military.I love countries with nuclear weapons and I would appreciate BATs that are related to such things.

My fictional country is going to be the most dangerous country in Africa...but we promise to use our weapons for peaceful purposes..(coughs)...so help us..please.....

Good luck with that.  Except for a small group of people who do militaristic things, the game is really quite pacific.  The Maxis airbase if a reward and its function appears to be to provide air shows.  The army base is a reward for people who are going broke, and the only naval bases I've found are in the Pegasus CDK/CDK3 series (destroyer port and a sub pen), both rewards.  There is also a USCG station and recently Paeng added a USCG Air Station.  Building the air station is quite tricky.

Very very nice

Whoooooooa

 

Well, whatever, you might wanna rifle through this LEX search for all the SimNation Military stuff. Apart from that, I would not be aware of anything militaristic.

Why should you love the bomb?  Ever seen the pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the end of WW II and all the people dying of radiation sickness?  Worse than Auschwitz.  Nuclear weapons are for barbarians and children.

Lol..thanks for the posts.

@Nonny..we promise to use it for peacekeeping only.

Guys..I don't think this thread should die yet.Am still looking for military props(aside SNM).Help..anyone?

[airman15 4,111]

If you're still looking for military aircraft, I made some in the form of MMPs and I know of some prop packs that have fighters, cargo aircraft, bombers and AWACS aircraft. Here is a short list with links to these aircraft:

Hope this helps!

Airman!! You are the man.Thank you sir!

[jaredh 195]

There are plenty of tanks out there (somewhere).

Don't miss the USCG air field by Paeng.  This is an add-on to the USCG station so be careful.

[Richie99 159]

Nonny..now you are talking!

[airman15 4,111]

I went through some of my older pictures that show an example where an airbase was built using a combination of MMPs, the USCG airfield and RMIP pieces.

 

This is an overview of the entire base. All the tarmac areas were done with RMIP lots and the aircraft were the MMPs that I placed on the taxiway lines. If you were to place MMP's on the tarmac, be careful that the plane you want doesn't end up facing the wrong way. This might require some trial and error.

 

This is an overview of the buildings. The hangars and helipads came from the CG set and I just put them at the end of the apron on the south face of the airfield. The hangars will stick out beyond where the helicopters are parked (There is a faint set of lines running across the front of the hangars, this is where the CG lots are placed. Then the gaps were filled in using regular SNM buildings because every base needs stores, barracks and command buildings.

 

Closeup of the fighters taxiing. MMPs don't move; they are supposed to give the illusion of aircraft moving around in still pictures like this one.

 

And if you have experience in editing pictures, you could even add some neat effects like snow, lights, afterburners, etc.

 

Yes, it's a terrifying base.

[Richie99 159]

Airman..nice job there.Though I would pack my base with more planes to make it look more terrifying..lol

similar to the building I saw in airfields in delta force game.Is it called airfield radar or what's the name?

By the way is that building with the satellite dish thing but of SNM?

I guess it is

sorry my post got messed up..read the last four lines first before the four preceding it.so sorry.

[airman15 4,111]

The building with the radar domes/dishes is the SNM Communications Centre and is part of the SNM set. However, there are dependencies required for most of the SNM buildings and in order to download them from the SC4D LEX, you'll need to register there.

[Richie99 159]

Alright that means I have it but yet to install it.Am going to get all dependencies the next time I buy an unlimited data bundle plan on my phone.

[airman15 4,111]

If you're looking for more aircraft, I can search for more if you want.

[Richie99 159]

I've got some tabi aircrafts but don't know how they would react in game(yet to install)so you can give me more options.By the way can you help me get these:

A runway animation prop for military jet.

A hangar that has planes parked fully into them(for civic airports)

Thanks.

I think this may be one of the items you're looking for; ILS localizer and glide slope indicator? (I think it's the red/white tower you're after)

Also, Joelyboy made some generic hangar props that you can lot in order to make it look like what ever plane you want is parked in the hangar.

I couldn't see the pics clearly on my phone browser but I downloaded the files

.Would see how it goes in-game.

[Richie99 159]

I meant the first link.I have no idea how to place planes under hangers as proposed by the second link.

[Munchiez 74]

Got to defend the city somehow! I like the idea.

[jmsepe 2,039]

Hey Richie! Thanks for starting this thread. I'm also looking for military facilities to add to my cities. This is one big help!

[Scaley McSlither 1,714]

I meant the first link.I have no idea how to place planes under hangers as proposed by the second link.

It's not difficult to do, but you'll have to use the lot editor. Basically you make two separate lots. The first should start as a 6x6 lot, allowing you to place the hangar prop. Then resize the lot to 1x6 and reposition the hangar a bit. You'll know the positioning is correct when the lot editor allows you to save without the warning about objects extending blah blah blah.

The second lot is just going to be a 6x6 lot with your plane centered and near the top of the lot. Once you use them in game, you'll note that the hangar overlaps the plane.

The process is the same for the smaller hangars but just using smaller lots.

[Richie99 159]

@munchiez:Sure!

@jmsepe:Yeah I read about Teiko's nuclear weapons.I wanted to ask whether you have a lot of nuclear site props so that I could get some..lol

Anyway hope you have all of SNM?

@mike:Am now getting to know the lot editor.I hope I would be able to do all that.
