Tu-22M3P EscortBackfire
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
This bird is fiction. First i saw such a plane in the very old computer game Harpoon.
In some scenarios the Tu-22M3 bombers were escorted by a fighter version of the Backfire
 
which was armed with long range missiles and a MiG-31 style radar.
When HoneyFox released his excellent Tu-22M3 bomber i remembered the old Harpoon
 
Story and modded the Backfire into a Fighter.
Have fun!

While making the EscortBackfire i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this

Tiran Panzers
*****************
 
----------------------------------------------------------
I. HISTORY
 
In the 6 days war Israel captured hundrets of egyptian and syrian T-54 and T-55. In opposite to the common trevia the Israelis accepted this panzers as good, reliable and powerfull vehicles and used them under the designation Tiran in the IDF. Tiran1 were the T-54 and Tiran2 the T-55.
Tiran panzers proofed very successfull in Yom Kippur war. For instance: the war deciding israeli panzer attack at Sinai was launched by Tiran vehicles. The major plus point of the israeli Tiran over their arab counterparts was the superior crew training. While arab crews were only able to fire from stand the israeli Tiran crews were able to fire while moving. Arab crews needed 20 -30 second for a aimed shot. Iraeli crews needed 15 seconds. The difference seems to be not much on the first view, but it is deciding.( Mind experiment: 10 egyptian T-55 and 10 israeli Tiran2 detect each other at the same time at a range of 1.800 meters, the israelis will fire after 15 seconds. At this range the hit chance of the vehicles gun (D-10TS) is 2/3 = 66,666% What means, that after the first israeli salvo only 3 to 4 egyptian tanks survive. If the egyptians fire 5 - 10 seconds later they will hit 2 - 3 Tiran. 7 - 8 surviving israeli tanks will shoot back and will kill the rest of egyptian tanks with the next salvo)
During Yom Kippur war israeli forces captured further T-54, T-55 and T-62. The later ones were pressed in service under designation Tiran3. Modernised T-62 with 105mm gun L-7 got the designation Tiran 6.

Persian Gulf Terrain -------------- Beta 0.5--------------------------
*****************************************************
 
This terrain is written for SFP1, but should work properly with WOI,WOV and WOE.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
I. Short description:
 
This terrain covers the most parts of the Persian Gulf from Strait of Hormuz to the oil fields of Bandar e Khomeni. It includes the coastal region of the Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and the coastal region of Saudi Arabia. Kuwait and Iraq are NOT included in this terrain, because an other terrain (Desert Storm) is already covering this area.
At the moment Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the western part of Iran are ready for action in this terrain. Ground combat you will see on iranian soil, mostly in the Busher area.
At the UAE and the eastern part of Iran only airfields are operational, no other targets. This will come with the next update.
The tiles of the street network are only placeholders. I'm not satisfied with them. They will also replaced.
There are some other issues which still have to be done. Dont forget. Its a beta release at the moment.
 
Improvments of Beta 0.5
1. 312 target areas instead 175 in Beta 0.1
2. Iran is nearly finished. Rivers, towns, villages, bridges, some factories, ports, oil fields, Scud launchers, coastal defence missile launchers are set on the map. A SAM network around Bandar Abbas in the southeast of Iran ist installed now
 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
II. INSTALLATION:
 
Unzip all files into your StrikeFighters/terrain folder.
Put folder Silkworm into your objects/groundobjects folder.
 
Thats it.
 
 
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and WOE?
 
For WOI open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
 
For WOV open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
 
For WOE open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
 
Then you must download a tileset which is made for SFP1 desert terrain and install into the Perischer Golf folder. Be aware, that there are 19 new tiles, so that your terrain could be look something strange.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
III. Credits. I want to say thank you to all guys who helped me to create the PG terrain, and made the new ground objects like cars, fireengine, floodlights, run- and taxiways ...
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
IV. This Terrain is Freeware. Commercial use is not allowed.

****Hi res replacement tiles for DBS terrain v0.99b****
 
This is a simple repaint of tiles for DBS terrain, the reasons this is not v1.00 are following
 
- I am not happy with the transition from "SeaIce" to "Sea" area and need to make transition tiles to smooth it up, for that I will need original texturelist of the first DBS terrain...
 
- As you will notice theese tiles are done in 1024x1024, I have been making such tiles on all my recent work anyway then downsizing them to 512, after a few days if there will be enough intrest in this I will post a poll on CA to see if anybody actually notices significant enough visual improvement for me to continue with 1024 tiles, yes I need test bunnies lol
 
 
INSTALLATION:
Simply unzip into DBS terrain folder and overwrite when asked, I recommend backing it up in case you want to revert to the old ones.
 
NOTES ON PERFORMANCE:
I didn't expirience any performance loss even with higher resolution tiles(2048) however, mission loading times will probably increase!

*****GermanyCE Terrain Tiles REPAINT v1.0*****
by Brain32
 
Terrain objects, trees and houses by CA_Stary
 
1.Requirements - Wings Over Europe are required in order for this mod to work!!!
 
2. Installation.
Un-ZiP "GermanyCE" folder into terrain folder(X:\....\Wings Over Europe\Terrain) of your Wings Over Vietnam installation.
As before with my VietnamSEA repaint I offer trees and objects in separate folder to enable simpler instalation for users that either don't want it or can't take the performance hit :)
To install the trees and objects, simply copy all the files from "Objects" folder to x:\...\Wings Over Europe\Terrain\GermanyCE.
 
 
2. Overview.
The tiles are made with help of satelite imagery taken mostly from central - west Germany, mountain tiles were taken from Alps area, and shoreline tiles...well, from German coast lol. Nothing was hand drawn, all those shapes exist in nature but were violently connected together so they fit...
 
3. Known issues
First ofcourse it will have some errors, however the number of those is on par with default terrain if not even better, if however you do find some eye-poking errors please report them with a small image in file announcment thread.
Again same as with VietnamSEA, I didn't work much with the cities, you will notice some improvement in transition city texture but nothing dramatic, it is planned for future update though I simply didn't have time for it now and didn't want a completely functional mod sit on my HDD for maybe months at 99% completition
 
4. Did I forgot something?
I sure hope not...

Original cirrus clouds, replaced by these newer effects here...
 
~> combatace.com/files/file/6567-siberian-sky-cirrus-clouds-for-missions-and-terrains/
 
----
original description...
:
:
*Beta* test, updated for SP3 and SP4 generation of Patches, of very large layers of high altitude cirrus clouds that can move across SF/WoV maps and can be set to any desired altitude (you can fly through these clouds). Cloud effects are created by a type of "ship" object that follows a waypoint across a map. Read the Install file, it describes what's going on here.
 
The website is a thread on this at the ThirdWire SF/WoV forums.
 
Thanks to TK/ThirdWire and all the modders who made this Aw-Sim possible. Thanks to Polak for encouraging me in this.
