SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.
Viper63a
 
There are rumors swirling around that the USAF will be upgrading their aging, but much needed F-16 Falcons. I knew about Spudknocker's UAE F16E/Fs and Dtmdragon's New Zealand F-16C/Ds with CFTs, but why should they have all the fun? Here are some USAF F-16C(E)/D(F) Falcon Avengers!
 
Enjoy!

F-4E AUP pack
 
Includet:
- F-4E_AUP
- new cockpit
- HAF specific weapons
- update for all greek F-4E mady by me and all greek F-16 from Team Viper , with this updates this aircraft can use the new HAF specific weapons
- optional Cockpit lod with removed air refueling lights
 
Animation / Function
- Canopy
- Hook
- Air Refuel
- Gun Vent ______________ automatic when gun is fired or as soon as the landing gear is deployed
- Brake Chute____________ works with the Air Brake below 150kts
 
Hangar and Loading screens are in 1920 x 1080
 
Installation:
- IF YOU HAVE A F-4E_AUP FOLDER PLEASE RENAME OR REMOVE IT BEFOR YOU INSTALL THIS MOD
- Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack and overwrite if ask to
- If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce !
 
NOTE
i added the OPTION folder with the optional cockpit lod and removed air refueling lights because i use this lights in the standart cockpit as indicators for the drop tanks ( full - on , emty - off )
if you like the cockpit more " realistic " just overwrite the cockpit lod with the optional one
 
the HAF specific weapons are made based on the official weapons list from the Greek Air Force , weapons missing are the GBU-50 and AGM-154 they will be released on a later point in time
in the weapons pack you will not find any ECM-pods , the reason for that is simply that there is no evidence that the HAF is using any ECM-pods on the F-4E or F-16 except the build in DIAS system
if one day the HAF is using any type of ECM-pod i will add them to the pack

i hope i did not forget anybody
 
the new Templates are available on request , i may upload them some other time
 
have fun , ravenclaw_007

This is an updated NATIONS list.
 
I included as much nations and services as I could.
 
I disactivated the active dates, so no more planes with <none> air force as it was happening when the service dates are before the active date.
 
I modified also the 'PilotTrainingStandard' for some nations.
 
Examples:
 
Now the SOVIET is 'excellent' as it should have been in the first place.
 
AFRES, ANG and USArmy are 'normal', not 'excellent'.
 
This is a tough decision to make, because the pilot training standard improved or deteriorated during the course of time.
 
So people should adjust it according to the expansion pack/campaign that they are using.
 
Examples:
 
Russia should be POOR in the 1990s, NORMAL in the 2000s and EXCELLENT in the 2010s.
 
Iran should be POOR until around 2000, afterwards NORMAL.
 
Iraq should be NORMAL until 1992, afterwards POOR.
 
Also, I forgot to mention, all speech files have been adjusted for the speech pack, sometimes not exactly accurate e.g.
 
Switzerland uses German and Bulgaria Russian, but surely more appropriate than USAF speech!
 
Enjoy.
 
v1.1 changes
 
- Mercenary Alignment modified to MERCENARY and Pilot Training Standard modified from EXCELLENT to NORMAL.
 
- South Korea Pilot Training Standard modified from POOR to NORMAL.
However, if you intend to fly a Korean War period campaign for 1950 ONLY, modify it back to POOR.
 
- Duplicate entry of United States Army Aviation deleted.
 
- Iceland is added as a nation, useful for SF2NA campaigns.
 
- Russian Navy name changed to its Russian one.
 
v1.1a changes
 
- The Iraqi 'PilotTrainingStandard' changed from 'normal' to 'poor'.
 
- Turkish speech is back to USAF speech by request of Emre.
 
v1.2 changes
 
- Added the Vietnam People's Air Force of wazalo68
 
- Added the United States Coast Guard of Sheriff001

Dassault Mirage IVP
 
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
 
The cockpit is a rough BETA conversion of a Mirage III cockpit.
It doesnt represent a complete Mirage IV cockpit.
 
Specificities :
- Recconaissance or Nuclear Strike
- with CT-52 Recconaissance Pod or ASMP cruise missile
- Self-Protection with internal Alkan 188 Chaff/Flare dispenser and external pods:
Barax ECM pod and BOZ-103 chaff/flare dispenser pod
 
Fuel system:
Internal fuel capacity is 14000 Liter / 11200 kg (with a fuel weight of 0.8 kg/L)
 
The 4-digit fuel counter is set to show only tens of kg and up, e.g. if it reads 0950 = 9500 kg
The counter shows TOTAL available fuel inclusive the drop tank fuel
 
The fuel transfer lights:
They are all off with full internal + external tanks.
If the external tanks (droptanks) are empty or dropped = wingtank lights are on
The internal lights are on after the respective tanks are empty.
 
Internal tank sequence is tailfin+rear fuselage tank, then the internal wing tanks, then the central fuselage tanks.
These tank groups are all indicated by the respective fuel transfer lights (lights are on if tank is empty).
With all lights on, 1400 kg fuel in the two feeder tanks (located on the fuselage sides along the intake ducts) remain.

Strike Fighters 2: War For Israel V2.1 Part 1 of 2
 
Campaign For SF2:Israel. or
SF2,SF2:E,SF2:V with SF2:Israel Merged Install.
 
 
This is a Campaign i created to hit on the Possibility of the situation
in the Middle East coming to a head and represent the possible Air Battle.
 
The Campaign includes IDF, USAF, USMC, USN with Carrier support.
Also Egypt, Libya, Syria and 2 Mercenary Aircraft for Campaign play.
 
Installing the Campaign:
 
Campaign files with menu pics and Music files are included.
Also Included 3 Icon Files for the Main Dir to use with the Desktop Shortcut.
 
Extra Files are required: The E-3A.LOD's for the E-3 "Sentry" can be
found in Operation Desert Storm in the "ODS_part1.exe" file. You only need
the LOD's all others are already included. This Aircraft is not crucial but
fun to Include.
 
Make a copy of your "StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe" in the program folder
and rename it to "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe". Also make a copy of the
INI and rename it "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.ini" in the main dir.
Open the "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.ini" file and change it to read at
the bottom:
 
[Module]
ModuleDataFile=ModuleWFI.cat
DefaultTerrainData=IsraelME
DefaultAircraft=F-15A_Baz
 
This will allow the use of the Menu file ModuleWFI.cat that goes in your
program folder "Menu" dir.
 
Now Run the New "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe" and go the the
"Saved Game folder" "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael" and delete the "Aircraft"
and "GroundObject" folders. New ones will be created. I've included all the
Aircraft and Ground Objects including the Default SF2 Israel files so you
do not have to sift through them. You can add Aircraft later if you want.
 
Now Run the Menu Installer and point it to the program folders root
"Strike Fighters 2" Folder. Then Run the Mod Installer and point it to the
Saved Game folder root "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael".
Overwrite if it asks.
 
You should be ready to go.
 
Before anyone complains about stock planes in this mod the A-4N is From
the A-4AR Fightinghawk by RavenXXXX. And the Mig-27 is a modded version
using the stock usable Mig-27 skins, and is by lindr2.
 
Both can be downloaded at CombatAce.
 
 
I want to thank the Community for all their effort.

Ctrl+PgDn. In current game engine this radar starts on.
Added KV1 seat to all MF and Bis variants. Deleted old seat from model.
Added SF2 Mig variants. Changed FMs little bit based on Fubar512 values on
alpha stall to make Migs usable in knife fight. It not bleeds speed in sharp
high AOA turns so much. Added vetral fin from Fubar512 FM.
Added aditional SF2 stuff (radar, rwr) into fm dats.
1.1 01.10.2009
Fixed afterburner burner texture always on.
Copied additional fuel flow settings from SF2 game dats

For PM, PFM and PFV values are:
AG gun depression 10mil

Try fire rocket in shallow dive with AOA around 0 deg. Depression values

Added radar guided air to air missile capability to all variants from PF up.
Added semiactive radar guided RS-2US from SF2 weapon pack as all variants from
PF and up can carry it.
1.6 31.07.2010
Removed mirrors from PFM cockpit. PFM does not have top one and even side ones
to my best knowledge.
1.7 15.08.2010
Big thanks to Paladrian all pits are now fixed for DX9 and shaders disabled
installs. No more white parts in cockpit on Win XP.
1.8 30.03.2014
Sight and modified RP-21 radar image from lukasn22 MiG-21MF cockpit retexture
for MF and Bis. Made Bis engine R-25 same as R-13. Original R-25 had bad
looping and i do not like it.
Fixed centerline station system from left wing to fuselage for PF and PFV.
Added loadable GP-9 gun pod for PF, PFV and PFM.
This pack inludes nearly all official Thirdwire MIG-21 models as flyable jets with
cokcpits in most complete form what my modding knowledge allows. All in easy
install form. I am not author of any 3d pits, FMs, sounds. All is what i
downloaded from Combatace or made by Thirdwire. I want to thank to original authors
of included files and this nice sim. Hope it is ok to reuse their work to
provide really complete, up-to-date and easy to install Mig-21 package. I was
always sad with that great pits available and terrible way to install it into
latest ptached games and it is always missed something. Loading screens, loadout
picture, good FM and so on... Now with latest patches FMs are usable and nicely
flyable so i used it as base FMs for pack.
This pack was done with combined/merged SF2/Europe/Vietnam/Israel games.
If your single game install missing model that cause problem, just delete its directory
in Objects/Aircraft folder. Probablby PFV is included only in Vietnam.
Pack contains folowing stuff:
*****************************
Nearly every official MIG-21 flyable with pit for SF2 line of games. I corrected
some errors in pits, Used latest TW patches as base for FM fat files
with tweaks in engine (thrust for each model, spool up time, radar, weight). FM
is not touched and i think it flies now ok with latest patch. Diferent sounds for
each engine model is included with Mig RWR sounds. Better Mig pilots too. Each
Mig-21 has loading and hangar screen and camouflage sample patch with loadout
picture. All includes corresponding serial numbers to choose from. I made
Numbers.lst for Arab, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland by hand.
Strike Fighters 2
MIG-21F
MIG-21PF
MIG-21PFV
MIG-21PFM
MIG-21MF
MIG-21bis
Notes:
******
MIG-PFM has added LCOS gunsight to be able to use gunpod in fight. More realistic and
distictive heaters sounds are included too.
 
Instalation:
************
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder
located in your c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\.
For example for complete/merged game install, copy content to each this folder:
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam
Sure paths can be different on your system. This is how it is on my Windows 7.
Also copy files after you run all games at least once. Otherwise game overwrite
modded files with original ones at initialization and you dont see Migs as flyable.
Optional files:
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder and
allow overwrite files.
_BetterCockpits Contains hires cockpit textures.
_EasyFM Contains easiest FM files from stock game.
_MediumFM Contains intermadiate FM files. Spins are more frequent.
_HardFM Contains hardcore FM files. Spins are almost deadly if not handled fast.
_PFGunPodLoadout Contains gunpod default loadout for air to air PF and PFV.
_ResetInis Contains ini files that are reset to default non flyable ones after game update or DLC install.
Just use it to make Migs flyable quickly again
Afterword:
**********
This version of complete MIG-21 pack is far from to be perfect or complete so feel
free to let me know if there is something missed, bad or not working. Also if
someone has some more accurate tech data for enhance FMs feel free to mail me and
pack get fixed or updated.
Finaly thanks to everyone whom work made this pack reality.

SF2 Mirage 2000 Foreign Operator Pack
 
 
This is a FULL merged SF2 Pack... Tested up to Mar2012 Updates.
 
Each Foreign Mirage 2000 Operator is included (Full Fleet of each Air Force).
 
 
I have done the following:
 
1. Most of the tweaks on the files
2. All the Mods on the files
3. All the skins on the files (using MF as the base)
4. All the modified weapons on the files
5. 3 separate cockpit glass tint
6. Modified afterburner/effects (tested 4 different one, settle on the one on file)
 
The Air Force included:
 
HAF
Qatar
ROCAF
UAE
EAF
FAB
FAP
HAL
 
I want to thank 'Crusader' for trying to tweak the cockpit by YEYEYE, and for approving the use of the .LODs.
 
The cockpit's main Attitude Inidicator is not model appropriately so the standby is the main ADI.
I have lock the main ADI to only capable of 'yaw'
 
If you want to use the default MF cockpit, just change the name on the MF's cockpit.ini and avionic.ini to correspond with the aircraft's name on file and copy and past to the main files alone with the MF cockpit folder.

F/A-16E Silver Falcon for SF2
 
 
This is my mod of an advanced USAF strike version of the F-16. It is based on the F-16I Sufa by the Viper Team and is released under their permission. Cockpit and avionics are modified to reflect more modern systems. The aircraft has an IRST sensor (special thanks to cocas) but it does not work in game.
 
Skins included:
- 35th FS
- 36th FS
- 80th FS
- 175th FS
- 194th FS
- 510th FS
- 524th FS
- 555th FS
 
Credits:
- The Viper Team for the F-16I Sufa
- cocas for the IRST sensor
- Julhelm for the F-22 pit
- dtmdragon for cockpit and avionics modifications
I hope i didn't forget anyone.
 
To install unzip into your mod folder.
I highly recommend you to download and install The Viper Team's Israeli Vipers (http://combatace.com/files/file/13342-iaf-f-16cdi-by-the-viper-team/) to get all the necessary sounds and effects.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE
This mod was created with full 5-merged SF2. If you don't have SF2 North Atlantic go to the FA-16E.ini and change AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll to AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll to get your radar to work properly.
 
Because this mod is based on The Viper Team's work, you will need their permission to modify and upload it.

The Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO reporting name: "Frogfoot") is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau.
It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces.
The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978 at Tbilisi in the Soviet Republic of Georgia.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
From now on , this new update:
 
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15169-operation-odyssey-dawn-update/
 
 
It is mandatory to be applied over this MOD.
 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
Opération Harmattan---------Operation Ellamy---------Operation Odyssey Dawn--------Operation Freedom Falcon----------Operación Amanecer de la Odisea---------Operation Mobile
 
Version 2.0 HD
 
 
This is the definitive version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD. It includes a highly reworked version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD also avaible here at CA.
 
As it is a big package and those are usually difficult to handle by some users I'm going to explain with the higher ammount of details how to install it and how to work with it , so please guys READ this README.
 
 
1) Requirements
 
* A very powefull computer at LEAST with an intel core i5 and 6Gb of RAM, if not loading times will be crazy and gaming horrible as the CPU won't afford the MOD
 
2) Installation
 
* Use a CLEAN , and when I say clean it is a CLEAN MOD folder
* Path the game up to july 2013 if you don't do this the MOD won't work , so you are warned
* Drop everything you have in the 3 .rar files and when it asks you to overwrite say: YES TO ALL
* Rar files are at .rar5 format so please be sure that you use the lastest winrar version
You can also use this program if you have problems unzipping the MOD:
 
http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/
* Then everything should work
 
3) If you do the above things , you think that you fullfill the requirements and the MOD does not work properly, What to do?
 
* Any PM sent to me regarding this question WON'T BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT , because I don't want to have 12 PM's asking me the same thing in 3 different languages.
* So to solve the above point I've created a "problem template" , that you must fill and post at the file announce post of this MOD
 
"problem Template"
 
Installation you have:
Path:
Type of problem:
Campaign working (YES/NO):
Air unit of the campaign:
Plane used by the air unit
 
4) Weapons
 
They are included and based in RavenClaw's MOD so , if you miss some of them because I may have forgotten to add them just download this:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13929-weapons-pack-2/
 
5) Campaign
 
There are more assest than in the original MOD however a lower number of them will be flyable. The reason is the use of many off-map bases.
 
 
6) Credits:
 
"I approve of the mod"

Content size of Install files 1.82GB unzipped.
 
====================================================================================================
CLEAN INSTALL REQUIRED! Remove Aircraft Folders,
all other folders can be overwritten.
 
INSTALL:
Drop the contents of the Install folder into the Game Root folder. e.g.
X:\Users\UserName\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel\
Overwrite when asked.
 
AddAllToWeapons.ini is located in the Weapons folder and added to the Game Weapons by using
the Weapons editor. Open the Weapons Editor, browse to the Weapons folder in question and
open the WEAPONDATA.INI (Extract it if you don't have it in the Weapons Folder with CAT Extract)
Then choose Import/Merge and open AddAllToWeapons.ini and pick Save. If you want the New
LAU-3A to show up rather than the Stock LAU-3A, open the WeaponsData.INI you just added
weapons to and paste the Data provided in the AddAllToWeapons.ini manually for that Weapon.
Reason is that if the weapon already exists it wont overwrite it. Once you've pasted in the Data open
the WEAPONDATA.INI with the Weapons Editor, open the WEAPONDATA.INI again and Save.
 
Extras Folder contains files for optimized play. Use at discretion.
 
\Flight\ Folder:
FLIGHTENGINE.INI [unlimitedDetailOption] MaxTextureRes=0
NATIONS.INI With Nations from SF:2 and added New World Order and U.S. Army.
SOUNDLIST.INI obviously stock plus added sounds.
VIEWLIST.INI Taken from SF:2 and optimized for wide angle screen shots.
 
\Objects\ Folder:
AIRCRAFTOBJECT.INI Changed to keep CCIP from showing through solid Cockpit sections.
 
\PilotData\ Folder:
SQUADRONLIST.INI My collection of Squadrons, to allow the A-10 Squadrons to show
up and use decals correctly.
 
These may be dropped into their respective folders to use. Backup your files before overwriting.
 
====================================================================================================
 
The package includes:
 
Updated A-10A and C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" Model of the 3.0 released by Wpnssgt, re-released as version v1.0

Jarek Hereda
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod represents Late model of CH-53A already with instaled EAPS and early models oF CH-53D with uprated engines.
A model never received aux fuel tanks and were used until 1992. At the end of service mostly by reserve units.
D model /early/ was used also until around 1992.  Not every D model was upgraded so in this config they were flying until the 90s.

CHANGES:
I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same you can be overwrite without fear...
Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit

******************IMPORTANT******************
FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
As always.
This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
Standard commands:

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door.
ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
Parking animations.
Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
Im including two vessels moded as USMC nation.(same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. 
Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in data.ini file. 
Those ships are limited only to those used during Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises.
You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. 
It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook.
 
Cockpits.
One cockpit based on NATOPS manual, an early model for both A and early D model.

Both models are similar. The only difference is in engine power. D model is 'stronger' so it's easier with heavy loadouts. And only D can tow 'experimental' Mk105 minesweeper.

Skins.
All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
Weapons.
The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
Ah.. there is Napalm barrel bombs. Used in Vietnam War. Inside _WingsOverVietnam_Only Addon Folder
...BOOM.
Cargo loads.
I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

in 1973 USMC joined NAVY in operation End Sweep and equipped their D model (HMH-463 only) with minesweeping stuff. So here you can "tow" Mk105 minesweeper. It is just interim mk105. V.2 is under development.
To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
IMPORTANT - 
Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
Countermeasures.
I've deleted Countermeasures from weapon loadout. 

Skins.
All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
CH-53A in Vietnam used by HMH-463 and HMH-361.
In mid-80s A model was still in use by some units. One of the last unit to use CH-53A was HMH-772 until 1992 when they send A to AMARC.
Also in mid-80s ( I believe it was in middle or late) US Navy composite squadron VC-1 was using old ex-marine CH-53A until 1992 when they send them to AMARC. I think they were using only these two aircrafts.
CH-53D
Few paintings fro different years,  early green early 80s green and tri-color mid-80s.
HMH-361, HMH-362, HMH-461, HMH-461 - two schemes one - 78 from a trip to Japan and one 1973 during Operation End Sweep.

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
This mod still needs some work. Will be working on it. 
Have fun.
Edit and report bugs.

Kamchatka Peninsula 250m heightmesh update with corresponding tweaks and rejuvenated/extended tileset and layout
for Strike Fighters 2, best fully-merged installation
v1.0
by Stary
July 2016
 
 
 
^^^^----------------------------------------------^^^^
 
This is test rebuild of Baltika's and Wrench's Kamchatka terrain, based on Kamchatka v2.0 which is major update to original Baltika's
terrain by Wrench.
 
This is semi-experimental update aimed at demonstrating and testing in wider userbase usage of denser resolution heightmesh.
I can >>not<< guarantee the stability of this terrain due to engine limitations and what I observed and what seems to be slight memory handling issues of the SF2 engine

All the nice people around here
 
Extended information, please read carefully!
 
The height mesh:
 
The stock Thirdwire .hfd terrain format uses publictly available DEM (digital elevation model) databases to produce 500 meters vertex
spaced terrain meshes with 2000 meters tiles covering them. This is proven, easy to use system but 500 meters is awfully 1999 technology
for 2016 systems. Thus given my efforts into NA LOD-based terrains creation stalled due to lack of knowledge and tools I decided to
reproduce one of more interesting yet obscure maps available, the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The mesh in this download currently uses 250 meters resolution which is twice the density and detail* compared to original terrain.
Please note that due to being based on low resolution hfd file output the actual height representation is somewhat off compared to real terrain!
Not much and not that it really matters much. "If it looks good it is good"
 
New heightmap was created in several steps which I now describe to help other more advanced terrain modders possibly use this method:
 
First steps -Gerwin's TFDTool and Photoshop:
-I used Gerwin's TDF tool to output the heightmap via F9 key
-Also created the textures bitmap as a helper file via F7 key
-The created file in grayscale is 3000x3000, which corresponds to 500m resolution on 1500000m map (3000/2=1500! Magic!)
-Thus I rescaled the file to 6000x6000 pixels, the same with the texture bitmap which I copied to greyscale file for reference
-The 6000x6000 or twice the original is the 250m per pixed heightfield file
-I filled the blue water areas TFDTool creates with pure black 0,0,0
-Then I spent some time in Photoshop working on several layers and using several brushes and tools to slightly tweak the grayscale height
image, mostly to brighten the higher areas and adjust some more interesting places. Mostly blur, stroke tools and some slight wave-y
filers to add some detail to now ARTIFICIALLY pumped up resolution (further on this below)
-Pro tip: to get rid of any water/shore artifacts is easy way, the so called tsunami waves or coast areas on slopes I selected the
texture map layer, selected all water areas (select by pixel color) and created another pure black layer on top of the main height layer,
that drops slight shadows around it (2 to 4 pixels black shadow) -this way the heightmap gets toned down for few pixels (two is good
value) when near the water areas; think smart not hard as The Ancient One says :P
when the heightmap was considered ready I flattened it and converted to 8bit palleted file using the stock Thirdwire terrain editor
palette (you can do this palette by exporting any heightmap as bitmap from within the TE and saving it's palette to file, most programs
allow palette saving)
 
Second step -Thirdwire Terrain Editor, the 042106 version:
so now I had the TE-format palleted 8bit heightmap but to import it without further data loss I needed to adjust the TerrainEditor.ini
settings via notepad:
-the line that specifies the min-max scale of height present in the file is this line:
 
[bitmapImport]
HeightScale=15 <---- this line, by default uses value of 10
MinLandHeight=0 <---- by default 1
 
experimenting with this value gives you the similar results as using PGUP/PGDN keys when using Gerwin's bmp2tfd tool, basically sets the global vertical scaling of min-max values in file
 
To create new 250m resolution the values at creating new map are as follows:
Terrain Map Size: 1500 (km, like original Kamchatka terrain)
Texture Tile Resolution: 2000 (meters, like all common SF2 maps and tilesets)
Height Field Resolution: 250 (meters, compared to defaul 500 meters)
 
Then if you do have the texturelist loaded yo ushould get new flat terrain with textures filling the areas, just impor t he
heightmap from the created 6000x6000 paletted bitmap and save.
This is basic procedure, same can be used to create 125 meters resolution terrains (I did so for Korea3 terrain so far) BUT those are unstable and I am still trying to get
perfect values in BOTH flightengine.ini and given terrain's _data.ini
*now the heihgt information/detail gets lost every time we index the heightmap so one must then increase the HeightScale= value to get
more or less proper -OR GOOD LOOKING height values. Also be warned that Gerwin's TFDTool doesn't properly translate non-standard maps
(1000 kilometers ones go ok though) that is why the TE hassle
That said -the height scale is a bit OFF in this map so if you are a purist complain all you want, I wanted better looking mesh more than
geographical accuracy. To have the latter we need to come up with otehr height data sources for denser terrains. I have yet to look into
the tools and programs I own what could be of use.
 
Installation:
 
Before installing this mod BACKUP your Kamchatka terrain!!! There is possibility you won't get this terrain working at all so I warned
you!
 
To install this exctract the zip and move the content of the included folder to your Kamchatka terrain, overwrite when asked.
 
This way now you have new terrain tfd and hfd files, new inis, TODs and new reworked tileset in both summer nad winter flavours in their respective folders.
The mod has all the nedded tweaks into kamchatka.ini and kamchatka_data.ini already present,
HOWEVER to use this terrain in efficient way (ie, not to experience CTDs when loading the map every signle time) please do adjust few
 
things in your installation:
The essential is making small adjustments to your flightengine.ini file
 
[backgroundSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=70000
 
by default uses value of 80000, and while I now use the original value to prevent possible memory crashes use the 70000 value which lowers the loaded terrain "bubble" around the camera.
Also if you do use very extended trees/objects drawing distances (with or without additions of Mue's extra distance fading shaders) I
recommend lowering the DetailMeshSize= values, start with something like 8 or 10 and try if the map loads for you, can then increase this
further, it might be very VERY system-dependent
 
Known Bugs:
YES this is test and YES you might get constant CTDs when loading missions; might be very computer or installation dependent. I have
medium-high system and work ok with the values I use in inis. Also can't guarantee if some crazy large scale missions wouldn't prevernt the
terrain OR textures to load, as I have hit some engine limitations during more brutal force tests. That is why the tileset, albeit I have
it in 1024px resolution too, is 512 version.
 
Also you should have much less of issues when using ObjectsFade=TRUE and not using Mue's extender draw distance shaders. That is because
the sim engine apparently does not have to load ALL the TODs at once during mission loading, just later when need be.
Anyway that is my assumption, I might be totally wrong
 
Legal stuff:
CA Fair Use license apply, not to be used as base or part of any sort of payware
 
That should be all,
have fun (I hope) and if you are terrain modder, try my method. Again, 500m res is soo 1999 :P

The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard
 
The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard (Étendard is French for "battle flag") is a French carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed by Dassault-Breguet for service with the French Navy. The aircraft is an advanced development of the Étendard IVM. The Super Étendard first flew in October 1974 and entered French service in June 1978. French Super Étendards have served in several conflicts such as the Kosovo war, the war in Afghanistan and the military intervention in Libya.
 
The Super Étendard was also operated by Iraq and Argentina, who both deployed the aircraft during wartime. The Super Étendard was used by Iraq to attack oil tankers and merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq-Iran War. Argentina's use of the Super Étendard and the Exocet missile during the 1982 Falklands War led to the aircraft gaining considerable popular recognition. In French service, the Super Étendard was replaced by the Dassault Rafale in 2016.
 
Super Étendard in the Falklands War
 
The naval aviation, suffering an arms embargo since 1978 by US President Jimmy Carter for human rights abuses, was in the middle of the process of replacing their A-4Q Skyhawks with French-built Dassault-Breguet Super Étendards. Although only five aircraft were delivered by the time of the conflict, the service became famous worldwide when they used their AM39 Exocet anti-shipping missiles, also purchased from France, to sink the Royal Navy's HMS Sheffield and the support ship Atlantic Conveyor. The older A-4Qs also had a role destroying HMS Ardent.
