SF/WO* Maps/Terrain Mods

This is tree mod and tiles update for OTC 2 Cuba terrain.
 
Apart from adding varying coverage of trees, I've also did some retiling, to introduce new tiles for visuals improvement, and to avoid spawning of trees in the wrong place, eg. on runways, also not to have some targets in dense jungle, rather on less covered grounds.
 
Read the readme!

This package includes all the files necessary to transforn default summer GermanyCE terrain into fall one.
 
Incuded are all tiles repainted, new tod files and objects graphics.
 
Part of this package is brand new version 2.0 of "Forests and Farms" mod, with added cities and scaled down trees. Also new variables reduce the pop-ups of trees.
 
It's part of a bigger project called "Seasoned WOE", after finishing all four seasons I'll release data files and instructions needed to create true four-seasons Germany terrain.

This is my favorite normal map for water, enjoy!

Southern California Terrain Ver.2 for SF/WoV/WoE -and possibly FE, WoI and SF2
 
This terrain mod is designed to COMPLETLY replace the version I released in 2008; however, you will probably need some of the Ground Objects included in that pak.
 
This semi-fictional terrain represents the Southern California region, along with parts of Nevada, Northern California, Arizona, Baja Mexico and various and sundry parts in between. I use the term 'semi-fictional', as for the most part, the cities and airfields are relatively close to their real life locations, but some fictional target areas have been added for playability. As close as I can, I've tried to match the actual positions of cities, air bases, etc, and used their actual names. Considering that I live in Los Angeles, and have been to a LOT of the places depicted.... This is a very heavily populated map, a heavily defended map, with all kinds of eye candy, plus LOTS of "Easter Eggs". A repainted version of airfield 3 (the dirt strip) is also included; ala Fubar's version, it's been paved over.
 
I've designed this to be used in the alternative world of the "Global Sedition" vs the "North American Alliance". It is, however, usable in any era from 1940-2040, with minor changes in the targets and types inis.
 
It is based on USAFMTL's SCal map from his Top Gun mod from several looong years ago.
 
This package contain just about everything you'll need, from new inis, HFD & TFD, tiles -including a whole bunch of new ones, and their associated TODs- LOTS of new fixed terrain objects (destroyed buildings of all flavors).
 
It has been -almost- completly rebuilt, with the creation of briefing, movement, a completely NEW targets and types ins, and upgrading the data ini to the latest standards. Water effects are active, so Vista users take note...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users", below, if you're using an unpatched version(s) of the games.
 
It is reccomended (read: REQUIRED) that you have Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak installed in your GroundObject folder; either or both the Desert or Euro skinned vehicles, plus any additional vehicles such as Kesselbrut's ZIL truck pak, Infantry paks, Moonjumper's fix for the BM-14-16 (adds working Kytusha rockets) and any other SAMS or AAA, vehicles or whatever strikes your fancy. With such an 'open ended' time frame for use, any and all GroundObjects should be available for use.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoE and WoV. It should work in FE & WoI with the correct cat pointer -- this has NOT been tested, however. It should also work in SF2, as long as you adjust the cat pointer lines in the main ini.
 
As to be expected, there's a pretty detaile readme enclosed -- so read it first after unzipping and before installing. Vital instructions, and so forth and so on inside that'll make things a bit easier for you.
 
Happy Landings!

:yes: Hello everyone,
 
Here is my version of Germany for SFP1. This map should work with WOx Games too. (Just change the cat pointer
in the Germany.ini file).

Germany terrain for SFP1 by S.Ansons
v1.0 January 30th, 2009
 
Having only SFP1 and FE, and with all the tremendous work made by CA community on the WOE GermanyCE Map, I have decided to create my own Germany Map. That' s the result !
 
Credits: TK, CA_STARY, Brain32, The Wrench, Polaks, Jan Tuma, Pasko, Hinchibrooke and likely many other people from the CA community.
 
What's new in this Map:
-2 new tiles have been added to the base WOE tileset :
GERMANYSJ.TGA small lake in a field tile.
GERMANYSA.TGA small lake in a mountain tile
- More forest areas with small roads and small towns
- New tods for having snow trees in the mountain areas
 
Lots of targets including :
Bridges at Arnhem, Nijmegen, the Rhine towns and München
A cargo convoy with destroyers, cruiser, Uboats to simulate a naval battle, German warships in the Hamburg harbor.
Tank and truck convoys thru the ardennes and towards Arnhem to help simulating both 1940 WestFeldZug, the battle of the Bulge and
Operation Market Garden.
Water color has been changed to give it a more greenish look.
Many towns in Holland, Denmark and Germany
 
Have fun !

This is the Korat airbase made by Armourdave of the original Vietnam team. All hounor belongs to him, not to me. He gave me the permission to include Korat AB into my DRV terrain and i want to say thank you for it. The base is a nearly 100% copy of the big US base during the vietnam war. And it looks very excellent.
The only weak point is, that you cant destroy single objects of the base, but, i think this is no real problem, because the US bases in Vietnam war were never attacked by vietnamese airforce.

An updated version of DRVv1.5 without the tree in the water bug and a Da Nang area without missing tiles.

Graphic texture upgrade to SF:P1/WoV runways, taxiways and signs.

Israel terrain covers the territory of Israel, the Sinai Penisula, the most part of the Nil Delta, Soth Lebanon, West Syria and West Jordan.
 
 
Israel terrain v 1.5
 
I decided to make some new tiles for Israel terrain. An Oasis that Camels have something to drink in the desert, Snow for the Mt Hermon and the highest Mountains of Lebanon and vegetation for the hills in north Israel and the Lebanon.
I also included the most aditional targetareas which i had made for Suez terrain for instance Radio Kairo, Radio Tel Aviv, Ports of Ashquelon, Ashdod, Netanya, Industy sites at Haifa, Tel Aviv, Gizeh, Helwan, Zifra, El Kubra etc.
To get the big explosion on destruction of Dimona Nuclear Reactor you need a nuke effect.
 
Hope you enjoy it

This provides high resolution textures for the 4 stock concrete runways in
SFP1, WOV, and WOE.
 
Each airfield will have unique textures for the runway and taxiway.

The newest version of SFP1 enabled watereffects. So i decided to make BoB terrain compatible with this new effect.
other changes:
- new city tiles, to improve the look of the terrain
- included the river Seine in France
- the terrain is now hilly, not more flat as before

DEUTSCHLAND TERRAIN (Germany)
=====================
 
Deutschland terrain is made for SFP1, but will also work with Wings over Vietnam or Wings over Europe.
It represents Germany in the time of the cold war.
The most of Germany is done, only the Ruhrgebiet and Bavaria are still terra incognita.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
This is a update to fixe some problems and include a few new features.
I also included a little Campaign written for Deutschland terrain.
 
Version 1.1 17. Dezember 2006
 
new features:
- west german farmland got smaler fields
- the borderline between the two Germanies is now included
-Campaign Octoberrevolution 1956 is modified, replaced F-84G with F-80
- Sea tiles reworked, so that the water effect of moving waves will work now.
- 289 target areas now (248 in version 1.01)
- Castles
-some west german Powerplants
-some west german Bridges
- tiling of Thuringia and south Saxonia changed.
- tiling of Dollard region (Emden) changed
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Campaign Oktoberaufstand 1956/Octoberrevolution 1956
 
It is a fictional campaign based on the idea, what could had been happen if the revolution in Hungary 1956 would have found a replica in East Germany.
To fly this campaign you need following additional planes:
* F-86F
* F-84F
* F-80
* MiG-15bis
 
used standard planes are MiG-17F,B-57 and IL-28
 
You can fly the F-86F for the Bundesluftwaffe or the MiG-15bis for the LSK/LV.
 
 
******************************************
Finally i want to say thank you to all who supported the making of Deutschland terrain. Thanks to Polak for the Pontons, Darreck for the Coolingtowers, Enrico for the Castle Pfalzgrafenstein, Capun for the parked planes and so on and so on and so on. And of course a very big thank you to TK, the great guy who stands behind SFP1, WOV and WOE.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Deutschland terrain is freeware.
 
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of SimHQ.com forum or Combatace.com forum.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hope you enjoy it.

Solomons Islands Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods
 
The first of several...
 
This mod is a relatively small upgrade to Edward's WW2 Solomons Islands terrain. What I've done is add several new targets and target areas, and replaced several airfields with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. You'll be getting new targets and types inis, along with a host of goodies to drop into the terrain's folder.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to the terrain's main ini. As the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. All necessary items are included, so there should be no worries here.
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- make sure you have the barges, the Liberty ship, and all warships, both Allied and Japanese. Don't forget to check Geo's page for more WW2 goodies ... there's a lot of stuff that's usable here as well.
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed (in this terrain ONLY) CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the SoWesPac! It is NOT included in this package. Edward's "Pacific Terrains.txt" readme is also included.
 
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
== MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! =
 
If you follow the instructions below, you should have no (or minimal) problems...just remember - BACKUP your originals!
And follow the fairly simple instructions in the enclosed readme.
Of course, the general notes sections might be interesting to read; a full listing of credits, and my very public Thank You to Edward for creating the PTO terrains in the first place!!!
 
Sorry, folks, no screenie. You all should know what SoWesPac looked like by now!!
 
Happy Hunting!

Readme for combining Gepard's 8 New Airfields and JSF_Aggie's Highway Airfields mods.
 
These files are simply replacements for your GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files.
 
What you will need first:
 
Wings Over Europe with the GermanyCE terrain (Duh!)
 
Gepard's 8 New Airbases for WOE:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=5078
 
JSF_Aggie's Highway Airfield Mod:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2950
 
Instructions:
 
1. Backup your GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files first (if they have been extracted)!
2. Install both mods...don't worry about overwrites, we'll be fixing those later.
3. Copy the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files from this archive into the "WOE"/Terrain/GermanyCE directory. Allow the overwrites.
4. That's it!
 
As a bonus, I've included several areas you can use to base carriers out of.
 
These files should work with other mods of the WOE terrain (Deuces or JSF_Aggie's tree mods, etc).
 
However, they will erase any mods that have already altered the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files.
 
Enjoy your new airfields. Big thanks to Gepard and JSF_Aggie for giving me permission to combine their airfield inis...all the work was theirs, I just wanted them both at the same time!

New Guinea 2 Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods
 
This mod is a relatively large upgrade to Edward's WW2 New Guinea 2 (the full sized version) terrain. What I've done is add several new targets and target areas, and replaced several airfields with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. You'll also have a new "Runway7", which is a partly-paved version of Airfield6, thereby creating a NEW airfield. The 'new' target areas are enhancements of already existing ones -- I've just added some more things there to make it look a little more populated. There are a couple of new parked planes, based of existing ones, hex-edited and reskinned for their proper users.
 
This is a very 'target rich' environment -- there are plenty of items for strike and anti-shipping missions. It is also fairly well defended - so watch out for the flak.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. (see the CombatAce Knowledge Base for the tutorial on using the cat pointer line)
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, infantry, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- make sure you have the barges (get both, they're needed in the GO folder), the Liberty ship, and all warships, both Allied and Japanese. Don't forget to check Geo's page for more WW2 goodies ... there's a lot of stuff that's usable (and used!) here as well.
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed (in this terrain ONLY) CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the SoWesPac! Along those linse, I've pulled and repainted several skins for some of the stock buildings as well. You'll see them as you play.
 
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
== MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! =
 
Remember: this is for the LATEST version, "New Guinea2", not the earlier version.
 
Follow the instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. There are a few new Ground Objects, and reskins of existing. It is also suggested to read my "Other Notes" section for other comments, explinations, and general info.
 
Happy Hunting!!

This is purely experimental, rather deep, and is a first attempt at roughly modelling a moving warm front.
 
This project is off the deep end and assumes success in setting up the cirrus mod here ~> http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6567
 
The different types of clouds almost cover a standard size 1000km map. I try to have the clouds evolve to the storm area in the following manner...
 
Cirrus in clear skies.
Cirrocumulus in clear skies.
Cirrostratus filling out the sky.
High altostratus covering the sky.
Low altostratus covering the sky.
Low large puffy dark clouds in the storm area (I call it "stratus" but its not really stratus).
Rapid clearing behind the front (assume fast cold front).
 
For "stratus" and altostratus, I use the Smoke3 and Smoke4 tga files which are NOT in the ThirdWire sims. They can be found in older Bunyap Weapons packs.
 
 
I hopefully will be discussing ideas about this at the ThirdWire thread here, probably starting page 7...

Lybia Terrain; Updates, Fixes and General Mayhem
 
Version 2.0 =FINAL= No more updates after this release!!!
 
This is mostly a 'fix' of the targets, types, and movements inis. It replaces ALL PERVIOUS VERSIONS of the Libya map. It is a FULL terrain, with everything needed to just unzip, drop into your game of choice, select the proper terrain cat pointer (more below), and go fly. That means that EVERYTHING is included - tiles, inis, the usual suspect terrain items (factory place, truck depot, country flags, etc). It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. It should work in WoI, as long as one of the original terrains is present, and the cat pointer adjusted to 'look' for it. -- This has NOT been tested!
 
It has been rebuilt, with corrected placements and flattening of the Libyan airbases, renaming of some target areas, and an EXTENSIVE expansion of the target's themselves. Due to terrain considerations, there are several airbases that are NOT in their Real World ™ locations or have the proper runway configuration. But they're pretty damn close! All the inis, especially the movement, have been rebuilt to change the semi-functional Anti-Shipping mission placements to something that works, and the addition of several Ground Attack routes from Tunisia. As you can expect, there are several 'Easter Eggs' scattered around the map. Have fun finding them!
 
It is also reccomened you have the latest Weapons Pak (either one should be ok), Pasko's Ground Objects, and Kesselbrut's Vehicles Pak. I haven't acutally placed their objects, other than the HAWK batteries, but they're nice to have. See "Notes" below for information about Stock & 3rd Party Ships.
 
PLEASE read the readme for full, detailed, step-by-step install instructions. Also, have a look at the semi-extensive "Notes" section for more of my color commentary and additional sidebars.
 
Happy Hunting!

This is Major Lee's Himulaya Mountain Terrain mod. To install, unzip the file. Then add a terrain.cat file from your game to the newly created Himalaya folder, renaming the cat file to himalaya.cat. Then place the himalaya folder in your game's Terrain folder. You should be good to go. This is Major Lee's work, saved from his site before it crashed. Please don't credit me with any of it.

This is Major Lee's America Northwest Terrain mod, slightly edited. I have included my SAM site mod to it, and fixed the sticky runway problem at Elk airfield. I'm posting this at CombatAce because Major Lee's site is down and have been receiving a lot of requests from people to provide it. I've set the zip file up so installation should be a very simple process. This mod was originally done for Strike Fighters, but will work with the WOV, WOE and WOI cat file as well. I've set this up to be a new terrain, seperate from Lee's other versions, so you can have all of them in your terrain folder at once. This is Major Lee's work, please don't credit me with any of it.
 
 
Major Lee's Aerodrome
20JULY2003
 
American Northwest training and development map (500 km x 500km).
 
TO INSTALL THE FILES: (Edited by Doghouse) (Back up any files you don't want to change permanently)
 
1: Extract the zip file. The appropriate terrain folder will be created.
2: If using Strike Fighters: Copy/Paste "desert.cat" from the Desert folder into the AmericaNW folder and rename "desert.cat" to "AmericaNW.cat".
If using Wings Over Vietnam: Copy/Paste "VietnamSEA.cat" from the VietnamSEA folder into the AmericaNW folder and rename "VietnamSEA.cat" to "AmericaNW.cat".
If using Wings Over Europe: Copy/Paste "GermanyCE.cat" from the GermanyCE folder into the AmericaNW folder and rename "GermanyCE.cat" to "AmericaNW.cat".
If using Wings Over Israel; Copy/Paste "IsraelME.cat" from the IsrealME folder into the AmericaNW folder and rename "IsraelME.cat" to "AmericaNW.cat".
3: Place that folder in your game's Terrain folder. You should be good to go.
 
TO USE IN-GAME:
Select Single Mission, "Create Mission" then under the Mission Map drop down list under section I, select "Amercian Northwest".
 
ERRATA:
There is no water, so don't select anti-ship missions.
 
There is no campaign; I welcome anyone who wants to please write one!
 
AI may have issues with the terrain at times.
 
You might have issues with the terrain too, especially if you select Inclement weather option...
 
This is a map meant that is meant to be somewhere fun to fly. It is also meant to be useful for prosepective modders to learn to write INIs and place objects.
 
If you develop an interesting INI for this map, please send it to me and I will post it at the Aerodrome for all to enjoy.
 
Please do not post this set at other websites.
 
 
Enjoy, Major Lee.

This terrain mod for Wings Over Israel reduces some of the bluriness of the original terrain by upscaling the terrain tiles to 512x512 and adding some subtle bump-mapped textures. It also changes the color of the mountains so they are not such a reddish hue.

:yes: Hello Everyone,
 
Here is my Greece terrain for SFP1. Unfortunately, I could not cover the total Greece Area, but the terrain contains several interesting landscapes (from Islands, to Farms, Desert and Mountains) and covers a large part of the MTO.

i want to say thanks for who ever created it. remember cat pointer
 
i want to say to the formosa terrain creator thanks to you for the formosa terrain also and if you can use taiwan terrain to add some stuff to your formosa it would be great .
 
 
to the ca community we know that avsim is temporary gone but we can help out upload all you can any avsim files to ca , so that at least we have a small backup to reference by. plus we can create a small private section for the creator of avsim.
 
enjoy this terrain - ca community
 
this terrain would also be a great complement to my movieintro for the sim. found here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=9012
