Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Just a note on the bits on the ground in the plane screenshots: I think they're sand ladders and not Marston Mats.

Marston Matting:


(Modern) sand ladder:


FH2's sand ladders:


Thanks for the comments though :)

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

I assumed they were marston mats because, besides the fact that they look like them (the pics you posted actually reinforce this), the ground beneath them isn't sand, but gravel...not to mention that there is nothing more than a naming difference between "marston mats" and "sand ladders"...they are the same, and do the same thing.

It isn't my map, though, so do what you like.

nice anyways :)

ww2 geeks can discuss ardently about a rivet displaced 2 inches, and send the godfathers each other to organize a duel at dawn.

It's a hell of an entertainment, haha

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

yeah, lol. Some time ago i was working on an airfield on the contryside and i used plenty of those marston mats...i filled the whole airfield with them it looked funny so i removed them....having some under the service is ok.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

You could cover the airfield with the mats by modeling it as one large object.

But I dont think these were used for airfields in the desert anyway, they were just to get heavy vehicles out of a sand bog.

Airfields were made from flat bulldozed areas. There was no need for them, they didnt build airfields on shifting sands.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Looks great. Takiwa was right about the matting, you need to have the whole airfield filled with those.

yep, i think they made it a ground effect texture... as in, it functions as tarmac but looks like the mats....

i can't wait for this mod.... i'll get my flatmate hooked too... he likes DOD so im sure he will go nuts with this mod....

Yep this is correct. They were mainly used in Europe and in the Pacific where the ground was less suited for aircraft without some sort of firmer ground (to stop sinking and them getting stuck). In the desert this was normally done just by compacting an area of desert to form a solid surface for use. The LDRG did use sand ladders a lot to get their landrovers through soft sand on their missions though.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Nice touch with the snake skin. Really dig the attention to wear and tear on the vehicles... keep up the good work!
