"Crosshairs_Plus" Panel & Model Enhancement Package

File Description:
This is a panel & model enhancement package for the popular FinneyGround Crosshairs_Plus scenery placement tool (chplus.zip), by Gary Mills, Robert Finnegan, and Kevin Bryan (FinneyGround). This package adds a "panel" with a highly accurate XML "Scenery Placement Gauge". Also included is an additional Gmax model, considerably smaller in size and graduated in feet rather than meters. In addition to being an extremely accurate scenery placement tool, this aircraft is an absolute hoot to fly! A minimal 2D panel .bmp aids visual reference from the cockpit while flying the model. Requires "chplus.zip", also available here at Avsim.

FinneyGround Crosshairs_Plus

File Description:
This is a set of Gmax aircraft models in the form of a crosshair made for placement of objects in Rwy12. As an avid Rwy12 and Gmax user, I often found it difficult to accurately place many of the objects I created because an aircraft is too big for a placement tool. At the same time, it was often difficult to know where another designer put the centerpoint for his object. With the Crosshairs_Plus, we hope to make it easier for the user to accurately place objects in Rwy12, and to clearly see where an object's centerpoint is. These GMAX aircraft models utilize the Aircraft.cfg, sound, and .air files from the Unreal Aviation Jetpack by Kevin Bryan, therefore, while designed for SLEW mode, they also fly nicely in Jetpack mode when SLEW is turned off while in the air.

FinneyGround_Fences

File Description:
This collection features the Gmax fencing objects and textures by Robert "Lt.Finney" Finnegan, and the Gmax Crosshairs_Plus created by myself, Gary "Gman" Mills. In Gmax, I added 10m sections of 3 types of Rob's fencing to my Crosshairs_Plus to make it easier to see the centering point and the edge of the fence in their exact positions. I call the results the Crosshairs_Plus_Fence ( CH+F ). The fence sections for the Rwy12 sets were cloned from the fence sections of the CH+F in GMax, and moved in a computer aided perfect straight line to the right, from a perfectly centered CH+F. They are as accurate as I can get them, the rest is in your calibration of your joystick. With a little patience and a lot of joystick calibration, the set works pretty good. They are not perfect, but they will do until something better comes along! Enjoy!
