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.

SUEZ 2 TERRAIN Version 2.0
*************************
Suez 2 terrain is a version of my Israel2 terrain with the borders pre 1967 Six Days War and with enhanced tilesset. The main difference between Suez 2 and Suez terrain is, that Suez 2 is now sized nearly correct, while Suez terrain size was only 60% of real. The number of target areas is increased from 94 to 346. New areas with targets are the Golan heights and the Westbank.
In Suez 2 terrain you will find Lebanon as neutral contry, Syria is holding the Golan heights, Jordan is owner of the Westbank and Egypt rules the Sinai and the Gaza strip.
The SAM fence along the Suez Canal is not installed, because it was built between 1970 and 1972. Only some point defence SAM you will face over the Sinai, close to Kairo and near Beni Suef Airbase.
Suez2 terrain is more smooth than Israel2 terrain. If you want to have the same roughness like in Israel2 terrain simply copy files Israel2.hfd into Suez2 folder and rename it into Suez2.hfd.
***************************************
Suez 2 Terrain INSTALLATION instruction:
Unzip all files into your Terrain folder. Thats it.
***************************************
ISRAEL 2 Terrain version 2.0 23.Dezember 2006
=====================
Israel Terrain INSTALLATION instruction:
1.) unzip all files into your Strike Fighters folder
2.) If you use WOV open WOV folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder
3.) If you use WOE open WOE folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder
For WOE and WOE you must download a desert terrain tileset seperatly!
***************************************************
The first versions of Israel terrain for SFP1 were very successfull. They were downloaded in high numbers from C6, Combatace, Avsim and other sources, but i was never really satisfied with it. The reason was, that the size of Israel terrain was only 60% of reality.
With the new terrain editor tool TK offered to the community i was able to make a terrain that is nearly correct scaled. But i had to rebuild the terrain completly from the scratch.
As promised i release the new terrain now short before Christmas.
What is new?
*Completly new terrain with enlarged size. It covers now also Cyprus and Lebanon
*additional terraintiles (Canal, Mountainwoood)
*airfields with multiple runways
*new designed SAM fence along the Suez Canal
the SAM Complex west of the Bitter Lake (Osiris) i designed using a report about the big air to SAM battle in 1970 between the Israelis and the Egytians. So Osiris should be more or less historical correct. The positions of the other networkes (Ra, Isis, Sala Uhudin) are more or less fiction. I also reduced the number of SAM sites, as requested by some players.
*number of target areas is now 292 (212 in the preview, 128 in Israel v1.5)
* I include a smoothed terrain height data file in folder Israel2/Smooth. Personaly i prefer the more rough standard terrain, but if you like a smooth terrain copy file Israel2.hfd from folder Israel2/Smooth into Israel2 folder
* I included also updated Panzer files. The T-34,T-54,T-55,T-62 have now coaxial machineguns and their performance is now a little bit more real.
*The SAM Fence along the Suez Canal now consits only between 1970 - 1976. In 1977 the Egyptians changed their AD startegy from area defence to point defence.
I want to say thank you to all guys who supported Israel2 terrain with ideas, hints, files and good wishes. Thanks to Polak for the Pontons and the Pyramids, Gecko6 for the Coolingtowers, thanks to the guy who made the factory complex some years ago (I forgot his name) and of course TK for the terrain editor and the great SFP1 flight sim.
And finaly a big thank you to all unnamed and forgotten object and file makers.

New Airbases for SFP1 / WOE
v. 3.0
*************************
1: This is an update of version 2.0 to make the airfields compatible with the October 08 patch.
The other rason to make a new version is that Capun requested to remove his files from this mod. Thats pity, because his static aircrafts were a nice feature of my airfields.
****************************************
2. This is the release of the 10 new airbases for WOE.
The bases are:
GDR (East Germany) Drewitz
Holzdorf
Marxwalde
Preschen
Trollenhagen
Zerbst
FRG (West Germany) Ahlhorn
Büchel
Hopsten
Pferdsfeld
All bases i made by using satellite pictures to place the groundobjects to become a look that is similar to the original airbases.
***************************************
3. INSTALLATION instruction:
Be carefull! Backup of your _targets.ini and _types first!
1. Unzip all files into your Terrain/GermanyCE folder.
Thats all
*****************************************
4. A word to modders
In the folder "Airfields raw files" you find 10 txt files.
Each file containes the lines of one airbase. So it is easier for you to copy this unique airbases for use in other terrains target_data.ini file..
******************************************
5. Final words.
I want to say thank you to Enrico Gennari who made the runway, parking areas and taxiway files. I also want to say thank you to the unkown guy who made the basic file for the GFD-12 shelters which i have taken from EuroWW2 terrain.
*****************************************************
This airbases are freeware and are not allowed for commercial use.
I hope you enjoy it.

Version 1.4
After a long periode of silence i thought, that BoB terrain was dead. BoB was forgotten. But then i found the BoB Campaign at www.combatace.com and it was a great campaign for my forgotten terrain. Then the campaign builders contacted me and this was the kickstart for me to improve BoB terrain again.
- I updated some terraintiles. Mostly the cities, the villages and the airfields.
-Then i invested some time in making target areas in France. You find now industrial targets in Paris and other french towns. Some new airfields i added and i made the Port of Brest.
- The Convoys are made by Steven for his BoB Campaign. I added them in my terrain too, after a very small modification.
- there are now 229 target areas, this are 65 more as in Version 1.3.
- german fighter bases (Fliegerhorst) also got a new face.
I tested the terrain as intensive as i could and found no bugs. If you find bugs, then please contact me via PM at SIMHQ Forum or at COMBATACE Forum.
Finally i want to say thank you to all guys who supported me in building this terrain with files and hints.
Battle of Britain terrain
contains the area of South England, the English Canal, the Canal Islands
and North France. It is the area where the famous Battle of Britain was
fought in 1940.
This file update your already existing Battle of Britain terrain version 1.3
to the new standard 1.4
Simply extract into your Strike Fighters folder.
New is:
-some updated terrain tiles
-modified France, now including the Seine river and Cities along this
river
-65 new target areas mainly in France (airfields, factories etc)
-Convoys (made by Baltika for his BoB campaign)
-changed look of german fighter bases (Fliegerhorst)
I tested the terrain as intensive as i could and found no bugs. If you find
bugs, then please contact me via PM at SIMHQ Forum are at
COMBATACE Forum.
Finally i want to say thank you to all who supported me with files and
hints.
Hope you enjoy it.

Battle of Britain terrain for the 60th and 70th.
*********************************
This terrain is written for WOE, but should work properly with WOI,WOV and SFP1.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
I made this terrain as a more modern version of my BoB terrain for all guys who want to fight a Battle of Britain scenario with jets. Maybe that you want to fight a France vs UK campaign or a NATO vs WP scenario with France captured by the red side.
The terrain covers South England, the English Channel and Northern France.
The differences to the WW2 BoB terrains are:
1.You will face a SAM fence along the English Channel and a second which is protecting the capital.
2.You will see more modern airfields.
3. An increased number of target areas (274 instead 229)
4. Paris is completly reworked.
5. A french Railwaynetwork is set on the map.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
Unzip all files into your Wings over Europe/terrain folder.
Thats it.
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and SFP1?
For WOI open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
with
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat

Afghanistan Terrain version 1.0
========================
I. The word before:
AFGHANISTAN Terrain IS MADE FOR WINGS OVER ISRAEL (WOI) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it runs with SFP1,WOV and WOE too, but then it does not include all features!
***************************************
II. History:
From December 1979 till now Afghanistan is a land in war. Soviets, Dushmans, Mudjahedin, Warlords, Taliban and Americans (OEF) destroyed the once florish land nearly completly.
This terrain is dedicated to all man who fought in this country and to all who lost their lives in a senseless war.
*****************************************
III. The terrain:
Afghanistan terrain is now complete. It covers the areas around Kabul, Bagram, Jalalabad, Kunduz, Mazar i Sharif, Kandahar, Herat and Shindand. In comparision with Beta 0.75 i have again retiled some areas to include rivers and to make corrections. New target areas are set, especially around Herat and Shindand. I also included the airbase Shindand. It was the fisrt operational Su-25 base during soviet Afganistan war
You can fly and fight along the Jala Road and surrounding mountains, the Kandahar region and in the north eastern part of Afghanistan where today the German ISAF sector is situated. You will find enemy positions in the hills and valleys north of Bagram, but also single bandit troops on the soviet/allied hold lowlands. You will find friendly and enemy fortified hill positions
- number of set target areas: -215
- Missions which can be flown are CAS, Armed Recon, Recon, Strike,SEAD
-Air to air missions are impossible, because no taliban airfield is set (as historical correct)
-I recommend a seperate installation of WOI for Afghanistan terrain. The new nations.ini would otherwise make trouble with other terrains. (I set all nations = friendly, only Afghanistan= Enemy
So you can fly for the Soviets and the OEF troops( USA,UK,NL etc) against the same Enemy)
You can delete not needed planes (for instance Mirages) and groundobjects (SAM, Radar,most tanks etc) and you can include needed planes, like the Mi-24 or the A-10 more easily.
-Panzers, like T-54,55,62 etc should be redesignated from TANK to ARTILLERY in their groundobjects data.ini. The reason is, that Panzers are widely useless in such a mountainous land. With the groundobjects i have included in this package you will have infantry engagements which are more Afghan style
- Capun withdraw his permission to use his Mi-24D.lod and Mi-8T-Dest.lod file which were included in the Beta 0.6. Thatswhy you must download this files from Capuns site http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
-IF you NOT HAVE WOI, you can use this terrain with SFP1,WOV or WOE too, but you must download the Afghanistan tileset from CombatAce download section. Some groundobjects, related with WOI will with other games not appear.
*******************************************
IV.
INSTALLATION:
-Unzip the file into your Wings over Israel
Thats it!
If you want then you can place mainscreen.bmp into your menu folder.
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOE,WOV and SFP1?
For WOE open file Afghanistan.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
For WOV open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
For SFP1 open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\desert\Idesert.cat
After this step install Afghanistan tileset by following the Afghanistan tileset Read Me.
******************************************
V. Credits:
At this place i want to say thank you to Geo for his permission to use his SquadCent files which i modified into Taliban warriors etc. And to Wrench who allowed me to use Montys Stinger site which i modified into Blowpipe and Strela site.
