Not so much…luckily I have the tools…first off is the mesh that’s a simple read and save to new format ( FBX ) … I have tried OBJ but that tends to break in the conversion…then the next thing is to convert the Ascii FBX to a usable FBX…then a conversion of the BMP textures, as it is a proprietary file type that nothing will read, but Converter X has a texture converter that works for save as PNG’s…The model itself is just a matter of finding what texture is used as it lists only Diffuse ### which doesn’t match any of the actual textures so it is a comparison to the UV map to see what goes where…
The Patoka was halfway done… see previous paragraph…
I would suggest just using something like Google Drive ( even though it is slower than molasses)…Media Fire would work as there are free 10GB accounts. of course there is Dropbox… For an actual web page, there are sites like Proboards.com with free accounts but storage is minimal and it is best to save the files in a repository…
This brings us to Discord… which I really hate due to the Spamming and vulgarity and Biggotry that creeps into any account…it needs a dedicated group of moderators to try and keep things in check… all the other Twitts and tweeters I have no use for whatever.
I can get you the files later today … here is the High-mast…didn’t include the texture as it needs to be redone…
NAS-HighMast.blend (3.2 MB) Blender 3.3 file
Need to decide on a version for all to stick with or just Zip up the FBX. Also, nothing has been scaled ( need to check what scale MSFS uses for their simulator…) the High-Mast was set at 160’ according to this…
NOTE: NAS North Island Mast
A BRIEF HISTORY:
On 13, October 1923, a special USN board directed that semiportable mooring masts (160-foot poles of steel tubing 16 inches in diameter and braced by three sets of guy wires) were to be erected at Forth Worth, San Diego and Camp Lewis (Washington State). In August of 1924, it was decided that the USS Shenandoah (ZRS-1) would make a set of flights from her base at NAS Lakehurst to the West Coast and back, using the mooring masts at Fort Worth, San Diego, and Seattle (Camp Lewis). In accordance with this plan, the USS Shenandoah arrived at the Naval Air Station North Island at 2300 on 10 October 1924 and landed on the ground. She was then secured to the mooring mast the following morning, during daylight. She remained moored to the mast for the next five days, while some damage that was done during the landing the previous evening, was repaired. On 16 October the Shenandoah departed San Diego for Camp Lewis. On the 21st of that month, she arrived back at NAS North Island, where she was again moored to the mast overnight. On the morning of the 22 of October, she left the mast on her way back to her home airfield in New Jersey. When the USS Akron made her West Coast visit in May 1933, she was moored to a mast at Camp Kearney (now MCAS Miramar). The Camp Kearney mast was probably not the same “High Mast” used earlier at North Island, as shorter (stub) masts were introduced following an incident with the USS Los Angeles on NAS Lakehurst’s High mast in 1927. The Camp Kearney mast was used four times by the USS Macon in 1934.
