MIDWAY TERRAIN
=====================
 
I.
Midway terrain is made for "Strike Fighters Project 1" SFP1.
 
You can use it in Wings over Vietnam and Wings over Europe too.
Wings over Israel can handle this terrain too, but the flight modells of prop driven planes shows anomalies in WOI.
 
==============================================
 
II.
Midway terrain covers a part of the Central Pacific Ocean with the atolls of Kure and Midway.
It is the place were in 1942 a big Air-Sea-Battle was fought between the Imperial Japanese Navy and the US Navy. The japanese Navy was superior in numbers of ships, but the US side had some major advantages. No.1, the japanese communication code was broken, so that the US Navy commanders were able to read the enemy commands. No.2, the US had radar coverage, so that enemy surprise attacks were nearly impossible. No.3, the US had the superior number of airplanes which were deciding during the battle.
The battle was fought as a pure air to sea combat. No single gunfire exchange between naval vessels took place.
The result was that the japanese Navy lost 4 carriers and the US Navy lost 1 carrier. It was a impressive victory for the USA in Pacifice war theater. You can compare it with the Battle of Moscow on the Eastern Front or the first british victories in North Africa.
 
 
Midway Terrain following target areas
this are
 
Kure Atoll (Neutral airbase)
Eastern Island (Midway AB USMC)
Sand Island (Midway USMC)
 
ship formations
Japan
+Midway Occupation Force
+Midway Support Force
+Second Fleet Main Force ( 1 small carrier)
+First Fleet Main Force (1 small carrier)
+First Fleet Carrier Strike Force ( 4 carriers)
 
USN
+TF-16 (2 carrier)
+TF-17 (1 carrier)
 
*********************************************
III Known problems
 
Up today it is impossible to take off and land from carriers while using single missions which are generated by random single mission screen.
Thatswhy i added invisible airfields for taking off and landing in the centre of carrier formations. You will also start from the sea. This is not satisfying. Thatswhy it is the best to start the mission in the air to overcome this problem.

Q: How i can get Midway Terrain running in WOV, WOI or WOE
 
A:
1. Open file Midway.ini
2. Look for line CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
3. Replace this line with:
for WOV: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
for WOI: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
for WOE: CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

This is a Green Hell 2 quick fix that eliminates the bug with shimmering rooftops on some city tiles caused by two buildings placed one ontop of another.
 
Extract to your VietnamSEA folder, overwrite. Works with any "level of detail" .tod version
 
Sorry, my bad.

This is version 2.0 of my Green Hell mod for WoV. Main goal of this mod is to add dense tree coverage to the Vietnam map. New in the 2.0 are the heavily populated city tiles. Most of the files from 1.0 have been remade, adjusted or added.
 
Quick summary:
 
-Three levels of detail for you to choose from.
-All new jungle graphics
-Cities, the way they should be. More or less :-)
-Objects numbers per tile vary from x2 up to x4 more than in GH.
-All foliage graphics replaced by new, better blending with the terrain textures, and in higher resolution.
-More detail added to the villages, as an attempt to create better looking settlements, but still limited to what Terrain Editor can offer.
-Generally nicer views, lower framerates ;-)

Purely experimental effects for radical hardcore fans of generals Curtiss LeMay and Yevgeniy Savitskiy ONLY.
 
This is an exhaust effect mod that can change the large scale visual environment across a map, so I hope its okay to put this in the Environment mod section.
 
Included are experimental contrails that attempt to model both quickly evaporating and persistent spreading ice crystals clouds that shine brightly near the sun, and range in lifetime from 5 seconds to 1240 seconds, which is about 20 minutes. The contrail tga uses the same game grafix calls as my Cirrus clouds, which makes sense since contrails can become cirrus clouds over time. Best used with the blue sky and sunglare ideas in the Siberian Sun mold.
 
Instructions and advice on game limits of the longer contrails are found in the Instructions file.
 
Pics and words soon available at this ThudWire forum thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4964
 
 
======================================================
UPDATE EDIT: Somewhat reduced max visible distances. Contrails 320 and 640 had 1000x too great a max visible distance for testing vs cirrus. Now reduced. Will update later if improved methods are found.

WW2 Burma Hot Fix - for SF/WoV/WoE, PTO Modded Installs
 
This little package contains redone TFD and HFD files for Edward's WW2 Burma terrain.
I did an ooopsy, and forgot to include them in the original Upgrad Pak.
 
What this will do, is 'flatten' certain target areas, most notably Hanoi Airfield, and the various train stations, so their objects do not appear sunked into the ground.
It will have NO effect on anything else.
 
EASY to follow instructifications in the enclosed readme.
 
Enjoy!

Burma Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 CBI/PTO mods
 
This mod is a relatively simple upgrade to Edward's WW2 Burma terrain. What I've done is added LOTS of new targets to the existing target areas, and replaced at least one airfield with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. The 'new' target areas are enhancements of already existing ones -- I've just added some more things here and 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 fairly '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)
 
It is suggested, just as an "oh, by the way....", that you install this upgrade into a CBI ONLY version of your PTO game install. Historically, there are many aircraft that are (and should be) "Theatre Specific". Meaning, you shouldn't be seening Zekes over Burma/Occupied Indo-China or China itself after December, 1941. While outside the scope of this mod, there IS a specific plane-set for use in the CBI.
You can, of course!, install it into a "Full PTO" style game install; you'll just have everybody and their brother flying around.
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, infantry, etc) already installed in you CBI/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. Hinchbrooke has some very nice Royal Navy battleships. <wink>
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the CBI theatre! Also (more below), the data ini I've supplied is based on using CA_Stary's "Green Hell" tiling mod for WoV's VietnamSEA. -- this mod is highly reccomended. I have, however, included the original data ini; also with it's terrain and water effects activated (Vista user take note!!)
 
As stated above, the BOTH data inis has been upgraded to the latest standards. Water effects are active, so Vista users beware...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users".
 
= 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!! ===
==== MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WW2 PLANES NEEDED, TOO. OTHERWISE IT'S KINDA BORING ====
 
Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems.
 
As expected, there are highly detailed, step-by-step install procedures. I'd suggest reading the enclosed "readme" through FIRST before putting all the bits into the terrain folder -that should be standard CYA for any mods to be installed. And the usual Notes and Explinations, Credits and Other Nonsense.
 
Good Luck, Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!!

INSTALLATION:
 
Assuming you have WoE (ie., "Wings over Europe"), the process is simple...just extract and place the folder named "Terrain" into the your Wings Over Europe Folder, and you're ready to go.
 
In all other titles, extract the watereffect.fx and the waternormaldot3 into the Terrain subdirectory of your choice.
 
In Strike Fighters, that would be "Desert". In Wings over Vietnam, it would be "VietnamSEA. In WoI, it's "IsraelME".
 
This effect is optimized for use with Brain32's WoE terrain using Cellisnsky's widesky 1.0 mod.
 
*NOTE*: I cannot guarantee that it will work to everybody's satisfaction with other ThirdWire titles, terrain sets, or environment mods.
 
KNOWN ISSUES: Cards that lack FULL DX9.0C support, such as ATI Radeon 9x -X1K series and the nVidia GeforceFX(5) series, may experience pixelation issues when close to the "water's" surface. The only workaround is to either turn off the shaders, or to break down and purchase a card that supports DX9.0C.
 
This effect is all but unusable in Windows Vista, due to its poor DX9 support.
 
The .FX files contained in the zip archive based on ThirdWire's original's, and re-compiled & debugged using ATI's RenderMonkey.

Madagascar (AE) tree mod
 
for SFP1/WoE/WoV/WoI
 
version 1.0 20.07.2008
 
This is a "tree mod" to Madagascar terrain, known as AE (Africa, East). Adds trees, bushes, grass and other little stuff known to populate Earth's surface.

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!

Europe WW2 Terrain for SF, WoE & WoV
 
I couldn't find the original readme, so we'll make due with this....
 
This is FNG2K and Edward's WW2 Europe terrain, reissued for those that don't have it. It is NOT as released, as I've made some small changes over the years since it's original release, most notably in the area of 'Ground Objects'. I've pulled them out of the terrain folder, and re-created them as GroundObjects. Their main inis have been adjusted, as per Patch 4 to have them show the proper way.
 
This is the COMPLETE terrain set, with all the various inis, bmps, tgas, and whatnot needed to ALMOST unzip and fly on. You'll be adding various items to several main game folders, so it is MORE THAN HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT THIS TERRAIN BE USED IN A "STAND-ALONE" WW2 ETO/SWOTL GAME INSTALL. For information on how to create one, if you don't know already, consult the Knowledge Base at CombatAce.
You'll find that information here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19630
 
Water effects are active, so Vista users take note...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users".
 
It is HIGHLY reccomended you have Geo's WW2 Ground Object Pak, for the various and sundry trucks, tanks, AFVs, AAA units and etcs. I've included as many as I can positively ID as coming with the original terrain set, as stated above, now turned into GroundObjects. Hopefully, I've filtered out the permissioned ones. If not, I apologize in advance.
 
NOTE: this terrain is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 ETO/SWOTL install based on Wings Over Israel. WoI handles prop flight models in a 'most peculiar way', and you'll experience massive frustration in just trying to fly. It is designed, originally, for SF, but works in WoE and WoV, as long as the proper terrain cat is selected. See below for more detailed instructions
 
= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons & Guns Pak of 6/06 for the proper WW2 weapons and guns!! =
Although, I HAVE included my GunData.ini and GunData.dat files. These have all the proper WW2 guns and such.
 
Be advised, one of the objects I've added is the Nazi Flag. If you live in a country that prohibits it's exhibition, you may wish to delete the "3RFlag" bits.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed, step-by-step install directions. This complies with MOD Directive of June, 1941 #1058, but is NOT coverd by the Official Secrets Act.
 
Good Hunting!

This is Major Lee's Bering Straits terrain that was posted at his site before it went down. People have been asking me for this terrain. So I've decided to post it for everyone to have fun with. Any of the terrain.cat files from SFP1, WOV, WOE or WOI seem to work equally well, though the terrain was originally set up for Strike Fighters. You'll either have to add that cat file into the terrain folder or point to it in the terrain's ini file.

Widesky: all new environment for WOI/WOE/WOV (not FE!!!)
 
WHAT IT IS:
- all new 3D-clouds
- custom colors for sky, haze, fog
- custom colors for noon, sunset, dawn, night and everthing between
- custom sun-glare effect (lensflare must be ticked on)
- all new background textures
- new cloud layers
- much wider sky
 
INSTALLATION:
 
!!!!!!!!!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Make a backup/copy of youre "flight" folder and name it to something like "flight default". In case you dont like
what you see, just delete it an rename the original folder back. Or do like I do: having different flight folders you can choose......
 
!!!!!!!!!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Extract widesky.zip in youre main thirdwire directory. (WOI, WOE, WOV)
Or extract to a place of youre choise and place all the files in youre "flight" folder.
 
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES:
If you fly close to the overcast cloudlayer you will occasionally see some clipping issues. At least thats what I do with my ATI card.??
 
 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
 
Thanks to TK and crew for this fantastic series. And to all the modders making an outstanding game even more enjoyable!!!

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.

Targets Fix for Libya Map ver.2.0
 
This little fix will remove Gamal Abel Nassar AB from the targets ini, as it's been reported that it was too close to "The Wall", that 80km limit on the map edge. It's been replaced by a 'Military District HQ' at Benghazi (ie: another vehicle depot).
 
Included are 3 new versions of the planning maps, with GAN AB removed. NO OTHER CHANGES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED!!!! All other inis remain fully functional.
This package ONLY includes a new targets, cities ini, and the 3 maps.

Here is Major Lee's ANW green terrain. I've set this up to be a stand alone terrain also. To install, unzip the file and copy a terrain.cat file into the newly created ANWgreen folder, renaming the cat file to ANWgreen.cat. Then place the ANWgreen folder in your Terrain folder. You should be good to go. Again, please don't credit me with any of this, the terrain is ALL Major Lee's work.
 
I've been having problems uploading files to CombatAce for some reason, they keep crapping out on my. If you don't see a screenshot with my uploads, that's a good indication it's a bad upload. Hopefully CA will get this problem figured out, in the meantime I'll keep trying to get them posted.

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.

This is Major Lee's America Northwest terrain mod with the winter tile set. I'm posting it because of all the requests I'm getting for it since Lee's site is still down and it's no longer available. The only changes to this terrain is the addition of some SAM sites and the sticky runway at Elk airfield being fixed. And it's been set up to be a complete stand alone terrain mod minus the CAT file. The Dogfight.ini file has been edited to make a better dogfight in multiplay action. Other than that it should all be original. I've tested this using the various CAT files in SF, WOV, WOE, and WOI in each of the games and everything seems to work fine. The following is a copy of the readme file that's contained in the zip which includes credits and install directions;

FORMOSA STRAIT TERRAIN
=====================
 
I.
Formosa Strait terrain is made for "Wings Over Europe" WOE.
 
With certain limitations you can use it in WOV, WOI and SFP1 too.
(See PS on bottom of this file.)
==============================================
 
II.
Formosa Strait Terrain covers the island of Taiwan, a part of the coastline of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and the Strait between which has different names like Formosa Strait, Taiwan Strait or Taiwanhaixia. All names i use are taken from an old german atlas and it seems to be that there are a lot of different transcriptions of chinese names in german or english language.
Formosa Strait Terrain is a nearly 100% terrain, what means, that the distances are not cut down to 60% as in the GermanyCE standard terrain.Certain differences are caused by warp while converting GOTOPO30 satellite height data into WOE format.
The position of the runways should be more or less correct, their direction is not always as in reality. The airfields themself are made by using variations of WOE standard airfileds and by using the 9 airfileds i made for Deutschland terrain.
 
Formosa Terrian has 233 target areas
this are
14 waypointdefinitions for panzer battles
2 missile bases (PRC)
6 coast defence missile batteries(PRC)
15 Bridges (PRC)
10 Bridges (Taiwan)
19 SAM sites (PRC)
14 SAM sites (Taiwan)
7 airfields (PRC)
15 airfields (Taiwan)
41 industrial targets in towns (PRC)
44 industrial targets in towns (Taiwan)
1 powerplant complex with 3 industrial areas (PRC)
1 power plant complex(Taiwan)
2 ports (PRC)
9 ports (Taiwan)
4 EWR (PRC)
5 EWR (Taiwan)
3 PRC Warship groups
4 taiwanese Warship groups
3 Carrier Battle stations
etc
 
To use Formosa Strait Terrain you should have installed a WeaponPack and western SAM.
You can fins HAWK SAM and WeaponPack at www.combatace.com
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
III.
INSTALLATION
 
1.)unzip all files into your Wings over Europe/Terrain folder
 
2.)unzip Groundobject.zip into your Objects folder.
(this file install modified versions of the SumnerFram2 destroyer and the Cargoship. It also install a Silkwork Anti Ship missiles launcher and chinese Panzers of the Types 59, 63, 69 and 80)
 
Thats it.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
IV.
I want to say thank you to Darreck for the Coolingtowers and Enrico Gennari for the files which i used to create the ports, which were originaly made for individual airbases which are available for SFP1 Deutschland terrain and WOE.
 
*******************************************

Formosa Strait Terrain IS FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED.
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.

PS
 
Q: How i can get Formosa Strait Terrain running in WOV, WOI or SFP1
 
A:
1. Open file Formosa.ini
2. Look for line CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
3. Replace this line with:
for WOV: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
for WOI: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
for SFP1: CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
4. Download a WOE capable terrain replacement tileset via Internet. Such tilesets you can find at www.combatace.com
 
 
Limitations are caused by the fact, that certain objects which are standard in WOE (power plants, bridges) are not always included in WOV, WOI or SFP1.

Here is a snowy version of my fictional Norway terrain.
 
I hope you will like it.

This is a replacement for the Stock base as this one didn't do any justice to the real one.
 
This release is a beta release, update is planned once I get some feedback on any troubles it might give. I depend a bit on you since my time is too limited to do any serious testing.
 
It was created using Flight Simulator Scenery creator, Polaks converter for SCN to Target.ini conversion and a lot of cursing.
 
Detailed instructions on how to install and credits are included in the Readme.txt!
 
Have fun!
 
Disclaimer
To the best of my knowledge this mod is not compatible with YAP. No gurantees should you wreck YAP by installing it.

Update V091: Parking Positions for Oct_2008 Patch

:yes: Here is a fictional version of Norway. It is fictional for I could not get the correct Norway area, however the terrain
is full of hills, mountains and valleys and sea . Texture set uses FE tiles + others. FYI a snowy version using DBS and
FE winter texture sets is in progress.

:yes: This is a terrain for India (actually the area near Burma, Nepal,China, India)
The terrain uses Polak's texture set thus the terrain is a bit fictional.
