CougarFFW04 Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Hi everyone, Is there available somewhere a database that would list the name of all the 3D objects that populate DCS theater (at least caucase) and show the corresponding objects? Don't get me wrong, I am not interested in planes, boats, vehicles,... but SCENIC 3D objects (like building, house, chemney,...) If not available, where are these 3D models in the DCS tree and is there a tool to show them textured in 3D (or can we use blender or whatever to display them) ? Thanks
CougarFFW04 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Posted November 7, 2021 Nobody... May be such a database doesn't exist but can't beleive at least concerning the scenic DCS 3D models and visualisation tool. Thanks
Grimes Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Map objects are stored differently than normal .edm files and are generally considered to be protected within files for a give map. Install/mods/terrains/<terrainName>/models is the place to look. There are "preview" files that are a zip of really small images that show the models stored within a given file set. In the past I've exported a list of object names and in some cases saved all of the coordinates for one type to a .kml file to open in google earth. Suffice to say some objects have tens of thousands of copies on the map. You can get the object names relatively easily by right clicking it in the F10 map and "assign as". You can also use world.searchObjects over a given area to display a F10 marker over each object with the typename as the text to get a better idea in game which object is which. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

CougarFFW04 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Posted November 8, 2021 Hi Grimes, Thanks for you reply. Certainly I can use world.searchObjects over several areas to get name of most of the structures but I was intrested not only in the name but what its look-like (so a jpg) I will have a look at Install/mods/terrains/<terrainName>/models Thanks
