Arma2 Terrains in Arma3 - Dust issue

[oldbear 390]

For dust I had and dust I want to return [OB 3:19]

In a previous Arma life, I have build a lot of terrains and islands such as [ADO] Tropicali just finished March 2013 and still unreleased as many other.

Currently, my Clan is playing Arma3 with CUP terrains and all.
On my Arma2 terrains and islands played in Arma3, some effects.
One of them is there no more dust effect from moving vehicles.
I can get dust if I shoot on the ground, but not from a running guy or a moving car.

Could somebody here give me a hint about what I must do to get the dust back ?
For complete understanding, I am not using brand new tools, only those I am able to use, the old ones : Visitor3, BinPbo, ...

@ 19thcyperevenge : thanks B)

 

Of course, as soon as it was posted, I had added IceBreakr's tip for dust on Tropicali but something is probably wrong somewhere for is not working ATM.

i never had problems with this...

maybe an error in your config? :)

@ 19thcyperevenge : of course it's a config problem.

After playing AiA and A3MP, we are playing CUP.

Probably a bit naive, I had the belief that I will get back all my Arma2 terrains and islands without having to change anything.

On all my Arma2 terrains, I have lost dust, sound and sometime the night sky.

So the question "is it necessary to build up a specific Arma3 config in order to get Arma3 assets in game?"

[Cype_Revenge 651]

this i can´t tell you exactly :( but i think yes

never ported an A2 Terrain to A3......

you loaded only your A2 addon with Cup or created a new addon with A3 Tools?

[oldbear 390]

In fact, I am not trying to "port" an A2 terrain to A3 for I am unable to use brand new tools.

I am using unfriendly, crude but well worn old tools.

Just trying to play A2 terrains in A3, using the remarkable work done by CUP Team.

To get an Arma 2 terrain working you'll need to use an Arma 3 config. I ported Australia from a1 to a2 then lastly a3. You'll need to port your dirt roads to polylines to get dust along with other little tweaks to get sound but it can be done
