yup, me again..

OK, me and Charmster worked out how airfields are placed on maps.. so I know what I need, but don't know how to do it.. here goes..

The terrain SM starts with a Group containing all the refs to the actual tiles. Below this group I need to add a file reference to my airfield, then below that I need to create a Group.

So far my attempts at doing this have failed, usualy that a group wont create at all, or the the file reference I need to the airfield appears inside the Group containing the tiles instead of below.

Yes.... I really need help with this one.. it'll give us a working airfield on Midway (insentive boost?)

Cheers Guys

Nat,

Here is how to add the file reference in the *.ol file.

To add groups just find out the last group number in the *.ol file and add 1 to it. In this example 188 was the last group in the *.ol file.

[Matrix]
-1.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
0.000000000 -1.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
0.000000000 0.000000000 1.000000000 0.000000000
-.31493 -6.4 2.7 1.000000000
[Group:189]
[Translate]
0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
[FileReference]
./aircraft/ju87g2/ju87g2turret.sm
[ENDGroup:189]
