Enhanced GermanyCE tileset -no trees for grass (R-type) tiles
 
fix/addon to my GermanyCE enhanced tileset.
 
This is quick fix that removes trees from R-type (in original TW tileset empty grass only) tiles.
 
As most seem to be using custom GermanyCE_tagets.ini file(s) with various airfields added (like those in Nato Fighters 4+ or others) I did this fix.
 
This will also allow future usage of my tileset by modders working on new campaigns with even more new airfields planned, yet to be released.
 
To install simply unzip to your mods installation GermanyCE folder, overwrite when asked. You can also delete the GermanyCE.TFD file that came with my GermanyCE tileset (no custom tiles layout needed)

This tiny mod is my modification of stock post-June11 environmentsystem.ini, that I created in spare time for own enjoyment. Incorporated are several tweaks and graphics files I created to slightly change the looks and feel of the SF2 series environment.
 
Changes include:
 
New, light blue sky colour for midday
New, more purple, "cinematic" sky colours for sunrise/sunset
Slightly modified fog colours
Reduced sky glow for sunrise/sunset
New, slighly bigger sun with new sun graphics
New sun flare
New clouds sizes and graphics for all weather types
Now clear weather has some small fluffy clouds too
New, bigger lens flares with new graphics
Slightly bigger Moon
New stars graphics
New, stronger base winds and gusts for more dramatic smoke columns etc.
Other tiny changes
 
Please note: as of Expansion Pack 2, clouds height seems to be locked at specific untweakable altitude (=> ~10000 feet).
I, aswell as others, tried various settings, even negative cloud base height values to no luck.

This is repainted, enhanced tileset of GermanyCE terrain from SF2 Europe.
 
Version 1.1 -check changelog for list of updates.
 
All roads have been darkened, now appear as medium gray; opposite to previous yellowish -white.
All seasons have been replaced by new ones, slightly different than before. New seasons added -thaw before spring and early summer.
All TOD files are new, taken strictly from "trees, buildings graphics, TODs update" recently released.
Main G-type fields layout has been corrected and organised. Now layout is back more like it was in original TW tileset. Corresponding modified TODs included.
As an experiment all bmp files have been replaced by jpg format for HDD space conservation.
Tiles are 512x512, downsampled from 1024x1024 templates.
 
This pack FULLY replaces any of my GermanyCE 4 seasons mods. You don't need to have previous version installed -if you do, all old files will be replaced by new ones.
 
 

This is small update to my HR GermanyCE 4-seasons terrain released in 2009.
 
Purpose of this update is to replace trees and buildings graphics with new ones, hopefully for the better feel and looks.
Also included are reworked .TOD files (files determinating population of tiles with objects) that make the trees more real-life size (as for Central Europe) and correct several tiles layout. As of some patches back, alpha-channel for buildings seems not supported, I removed all the "tricky" buildings that were using the apha channel for transparency effects (some fake lame windmills etc).
 
Includes GermanyCE.ini and GermanyCE_data.ini files, updated to newest standards.
 
 
 

Peninsula Iberica Data updated for SF2E
 
Instalation:
 
Unrar/paste the file España.Data in the España folder ( My Documents/Thirdwirwe//...../Terrains/España )
 
This file is for 2Gen SF2 , SF2E , SF2V , With GermanyCE.CAT
 
 

This little modification is my tweak to several textures from "ODS" Iraq/Piecemeal's Desert3 terrains.
 
Created with "Updated Default SF2 Terrain by Piecemeal V 1.2" in mind, this pack changes the look of desert-to-mountain transitions tiles, making them much more sloped rocks thus standing out from surrounding sands. Tile-specific heightmap files (_HM) used to achieve more detailed mesh displacement.
Matter of one's preferences, it's one of those not necessary optional mods ;)
 
All the transition textures are based on work by Deuces for original ODS terrain, further used in Piecemeal's Desert3 update of stock SF2 Parani/Dhimari map.

Specifically for the Afghanistan terrain version done by Wrench, this adds yet more targets and CAS areas on the map. Simply overwrite and go fly.
 
Wrench's Afghanistan for SF2:

Also included is a Nations file (optional) that has the major player countries listed (thanks to FrankD). Note however I do have Afghanistan set to enemy so if you feel inclined feel free to adjust the side status.

The grand finale!! The last set of drones to complete your Mescalero range.
 
-------------MEET YOUR NEW DRONES------------------
 
QF-8A Crusader: Former Front-line USN Carrier based fighter. Converted to unmanned target drone beginning in 1973.
An AGGRESSIVE drone of good manuverability and good countermeasures. Type expended by 1978.
 
QF-4S Phantom II: Former Former Front-Line USN Carrier based fighter re-manufactured from the F-4J. An AGGRESSIVE drone
of good manueverabilty and SUPERIOR countermeasures. Operated by detachment of VX-30 "Bloodhounds" out
of NAS Point Magu, Calif. First use in 1990.....retirement is imminent.
 
QRF-4C Phantom II: Former USAF recon-version of the Phantom. As supplies of figher F-4 airframes for drone use dwindle....some
RF-4C's have been converted for use. A PASSIVE drone of good manuverability and good countermeasures.
Operated by 53rd WEG out of Tyndall AFB, Florida. First used in 2007. Should be available until 2014.
 
QF-16A: The Future of unmanned conversion drones. Next on the list as the last of the Phantom II airframes draws near.
Conversion of F-16A airframes has begun in 2010. This will be an AGGRESSIVE drone of EXCELLENT manueverability
and EXCELLENT countermeasures. Will be operated by 53rd WEG out of Tyndall AFB, Florida. Should be operational
until at least 2020.
 
F-84KX: Former USAF fighter.A small number of "obsolete" F-84B and C models were retired from ANG use and sold to the USN for use
as target drones. Very little is known about actual use by the Navy. Your Thunderjet drone carries the colors of
GMGRU-2 out of NAS Chichoteague,VA. An AGGRESSIVE drone of good manuverability and NO countermeasures. In use from
1956-1965.
 
AQM-28 Hounddog: Former USAF "stand-off" nuclear missile launched from the B-52. Retired from SAC in the 1970's and rebuilt
for use as targets. A PASSIVE drone of poor manuverability, limited countermeasures BUT excellent acceleration.
The target can and will quickly go supersonic to escape attack.
 
--------------DRONE CONTROLLER-------------------
DT-33A: USAF T-33 Shooting Star converted to drone controller. Long service life between 1950 and 1986!!
DF-8F: Small numbers of F8U-1 Crusaders converted to drone controllers.
 
------------Hunter-Killer Aircraft------------------
The "Original Crusader": The F8U-1 (F-8A)!!
 
The first production version of the Crusader. First flight on September 20th 1955. A total of 318 airframes
built between 1956 and 1958. The original order was for 448 aircraft but the last 130 were delivered as F8U-1E's
(F-8B). Use of the Pratt and Whitney J57-P-4 engine made the F-8A a MACH 1.5 capable aircraft. Originally designed
without them...the refueling system and sidewinder capability was added with the 50th production aircraft and retro-fitted
to earlier models. The F-8A was armed with four 20mm cannon, thiry-two Mighty Mouse 2.75 inch FFAR in a hinged drawer
below the fuselage and up to two sidewinder missiles on side stations. The AN/APG radar gunsight and fire control sys-
tem was installed for weapons delivery.
 
First USN squadron issued the new Crusader was VF-32 in 1957. First USMC squadron was VMF-122 the same year.
 
Your F8U-1 (F-8A) carries the colors of VF(AW)-3 "Blue Nemesis" out of NAS Moffett Field, Calif. in 1957.
Stay tuned to Combatace for my full release of the F8U-1 with over 10 USN and USMC skins to choose from!!

and high performance. An AGGRESSIVE drone of fair maneuverability and good counter-
measures. Type fully expended by 2005.
 
THE AQM-136A Falconer II: Former Tacit Rainbow cruise missile(cancelled). . Originally designed as a stand-off weapon to saturate enemy air defenses. Re-designed as an inexpensive aerial target.
A PASSIVE drone with poor manueverability. Low speed and limited countermeasures make it an easy missile target. Its small size HOWEVER makes it a difficult
gunnery target! Air launched from drone control aircraft, it follows a pre-programmed GPS flightpath. Recovered by parachute unless destroyed.
 
THE F6F-5K Hellcat: Former front line carrier fighter of the USN in WW2. Propeller driven. One of the first full scale conversion drones ever used. Operational from late 1940's until fully expended
in 1960. An AGGRESSIVE drone of good manueverability and no countermeasures. Operated by permanent USN detachment from China Lake.
 
THE QF-4G Phantom II: Former USAF SEAD aircraft (Wild Weasel).Retired and placed in AMARC storage,Arizona. Currently being recalled for target drone use as other Phantom types are expended. First drone
use in 1998. An AGGRESSIVE drone of fair/good manueverability and EXCEPTIONAL countermeasures!! Operated by rotating detachment of the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group, Tyndall AFB,Florida.
Type should be fully expended or retired by 2011 as QF-16A becomes available.
 
 
--------------DRONE CONTROLLER-------------------
 
THE F9F-5KD Panther : Drone controller conversion of the F9F-5P Photo-recon Panther. Extended nose (once for cameras) allows excellent location for drone control equipment.
Pilot can fully operate and/or assume command of drones via radio control. Operated on a limited utility basis from 1955 until 1965.
 
As always: A FULL installation READ-ME and CREDITS enclosed.
 
 
Use of the F6F-5K requires access to Geo's Aircraft download site. This access is however...NOT...required to use the Mescalero Range or any other aircraft/drone.

Another flock of drones has been released by the Apache Spirit Dancers!!
 
-------------MEET YOUR NEW DRONES------------------
 
F9F-5K Panther: Former front line USN carrier based fighter. Veteran of the Korean Conflict. Retired and placed in service as target drones . An AGGRESSIVE drone
with good manueverability but NO countermeasures. Operated by detachment of GRGMU-2 (Guided Missile Group Two) out of NAS Chicoteague,VA.
Type fully expended by 1964.
 
QT-33A Seastar: Former T-33A USAF jet trainers bailed to the USN as target drones beginning in 1965. Large numbers makes them very common as targes and expendable.
A PASSIVE drone of fair manueverability and limited countermeasures. Operated by the permanent USN detachment out of China Lake. Type finally
expended by 1982.
 
QF-4N Phantom II: Former USN/USMC carrier based fighter and upgrade of the F-4B. Retired for drone use beginning in 1985. An AGGRESSIVE drone of good manueverability
and EXCELLENT countermeasures. Operated by detachment of the NWTS (Naval Weapons Test Squadron) from NAS Point Magu,CA. Type expended by 2000/2001.

An AGGRESSIVE drone of excellent manueverability but limited countermeasures. First used in 1976. Expended or retired by 1989. Some survivors flown today in
display at airshows.
 
QF-59B Airacomet: First US jet fighter. Flown for only a short time in operational service before replaced by better aircraft(F-80). Some examples used as drones and/or
drone controllers. An AGGRESSIVE drone of fair manueverability but no countermeasures. Short drone carrer from 1950-56 makes them rare.
 
QB-17L Flying Fortress: Former USAAF B-17G bombers made famous in WWII. Retired in massive numbers at war's end makes them an excellent choice for bomber drone targets. A PASSIVE
drone of poor manueverabilty and no countermeasures. A tough target however! Will take alot of punishment, especially from non-cannon type rounds such as
50cal. slugs. A slow target makes for a collision danger for high speed fighters. USE CAUTION!! First deployed as drones in the late 1940's. Last use
around 1958. (note: turrets were removed from target drones).
 
MQM-107D Streaker: Purpose built subsonic drone of USAF. Uses an efficient turbofan engine pylon-mounted under fuselage. Its smokeless engine and small profile make it a hard
to spot target. A PASSIVE drone of limited countermeasures. First used in 1987....still operational.
 
--------------DRONE CONTROLLER-------------------
 
SNJ-5 : More of an observation aircraft than controller. Pilot sits in front while a range safety officer uses the rear seat. Unarmed. Fun to fly!!
 
------------Hunter-Killer Aircraft------------------
 
F-102A Delta Dagger (Hellenic Air Force): In the late 1960's, twenty excess F-102A's were sold to Greece along with a number of AIM-4 Falcon Missiles. These aircraft remained in service until at least
1975. A few can even be found today....sitting derelict in the weeds at Greek air bases.....:{
 
A full Installation and Credits read-me file is included.
 
Use of the QB-17L and QF-59B require access to the A-team Skunkworks download files. This access is however...NOT...required to use the Mescalero Range or any other aircraft/drone.

This mod is something to complement Stary's Green Hell3 mod for SF2V. All airfields on both sides have been extensively facelifted and given a new lease of life by re-populating them with huge amounts of groundobjects that were used in my Desert3 terrain and updated airfields for the Four Seasons mod.
Airfields have also been re-catagorised into two different groups; 'Red' and 'Blue'. For example, a friendly 'vietnamSEA_airfield4' will now be 'BLUE_AIRFIELD4' and a North Vietnamese 'vietnamSEA_airfield4_NV' will now be 'RED_AIRFIELD4'.
The amount of ground objects and buildings on all airfields are on a MUCH bigger scale than before, though I haven't really noticed much of a drop in FPS performance - although the mod's performance on your PC does depend on your own system and specs.
 
----------------------------------
 
INSTALLATION (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
 
* First, save a copy of your existing 'VietnamSEA' terrain (in case for some strange reason you might not be happy with this mod!).
* Secondly, unzip this pack and allow the folders within to merge with your SF2V installation. If asked whether you want to replace files, allow them to be overwritten (you saved a copy of your original terrain, yeah?).
 
You should be good to go then!
 
 
Important Note: If you don't already have this, you should download it from the SF1 downloads section, otherwise North Vietnamese airfields will be missing a LOT of trucks:
 
* Kesselbrut's 'Soviet Transport Mod', which can be found here: http://combatace.com/files/file/3667-soviet-transport-pack/

6th Jan 2011
 
 

The Apache Spirit Dancers have brought forth some more target drones for your new range. This is DRONE PACKAGE #2 for the Mescalero Proving Grounds. Please be sure to have parts 1 and 2 already installed.
INCLUDED with this package are the following NEW target drones and BONUS aircraft:
 
 
THE QF-9J Cougar: Former front line carrier fighter of the USN. An AGRESSIVE drone of good manueverabilty
but no countermeasures.Operated by permanent USN detachment from China Lake. Type was
fully expended by 1975.
 
 
THE PQM-102A DELTA DAGGER: Former front line USAF interceptor. Retired and placed in AMARC storage,Arizona.
Recalled for target drone use in 1975 because of its performance simularities to
the Soviet Mig-21. An AGGRESSIVE drone of fair manueverability and limited counter-
measures. Type fully expended by 1986.
 
THE CQM-10B BOMARC: Former USAF air defense missile. Retired in 1972 and converted for target drone use.
A PASSIVE drone of poor manueverability BUT SUPERIOR SPEED!! A pair of ramjet engines
can hold MACH 1.7 over the range and MACH 3.5 at higher altitudes. Limited countermeasures.
A "shoot quick or it's gone" target. Designed to simulate the MIG-25 Foxbat or SR-71 type
recon aircraft. Ground launched via self contained booster rocket.
 
THE QT-38A Talon: Former USAF supersonic Advanced Trainer. Obtained by USN in 1975. and converted to target drone.
Retrofitted with belly-pod containing limited countermeasures. A passive drone of fair/good manuever-
ability. Operated by permanent USN detachment from China Lake. Type still operational but retirement
is immenent.
 
 
THE QF-4B Phantom II: Former front line carrier fighter of the USN. An AGRESSIVE drone of good manueverabilty
and good countermeasures.Operated by rotating USN detachment from US NAVAL MISSILE CENTER in.
Point Mugu,Calif. Type was fully expended by 1990.
 
 
 
 
--------------DRONE CONTROLLER-------------------
 
 
THE FJ3-D2 Fury: Drone controller conversion of the FJ-3 Fury. Pilot can assume command of errant drones and activate
self-destruct mechanism via radio control. Armed with (4x) 20mm cannon as secondary termination
choice. Operated on a limited utility basis from 1955 until 1966.
 
 
 
 
-------------RANGE "HUNTER KILLER" AIRCRAFT------(one of my personal favorites!!)
 
THE F4D-1 Skyray: Short-lived, front line carrier fighter of the USN and later USMC. Designed as an interceptor for the fleet.
Holder of several speed and climb-to altitude records of its day. Has (4x) 20mm cannon in wings with limited
ammo. Primarily designed to intercept with unguided "Mighty Mouse" rockets in external pods. Can be con-
figured to use early sidewinder missiles instead. Capable, but NOT USED for air/ground operations (due to wing
stress problems). Limited internal fuel makes drop-tanks neccesary. VERY limited combat time over range
once tanks are dropped.....WATCH YOUR FUEL!! Non-carrier use over land requires carrying of external
NAVPAC which contains needed avionics for navigation (VOR-OMNI) and instrument apporach use (ILS). This pack
is non-droppable and carried on centerline. Your Skyray wears the colors of FAGU.....the Fleet Air Gunnery Unit,Pacific
out of NAAS ElCentro,Calif. 1958.
 
 
A full READ-ME file with installation and CREDITS is included. ENJOY!!!

"GREEN HELL 3"
 
Strike Fighters2:Vietnam map modification.
 
Designed for stock SF2:Vietnam VietnamSEA and Modern Darwin map by Wrench
 
Apart from these, should work with older maps using WoV/SF2:V tileset -Burma, Philippines etc in every sim from the series apart FE.
 
Credits:
Wrench, for Modern Darwin map, that forced me to do something with stuff dusting on my hdd
Also for screens templates, used to create optional menu screens.
ShrikeHawk -I think ajusted environmentsytem is based on his work.
Combat Ace -self explanatory, you guys rock!
TK, Thirdwire -for still giving me fun and bugs altogether.
 
This is version 3.0 of my Green Hell mod for SF2:V
After doing some work for Wrench's Darwin map, I decided to go fullscale, re-use my older tileset, finish the tod files, adjust several things and release this as part three.
 
In comparision to previous incarnations of the mod that relied on fabulous tileset by Brain32, this one uses different tileset, based on stock one, thus changing the look significantly if you're familiar with GH series. My goal was to create universal tileset for South East Asia terrains.
Also, as with every new patch old rendering bugs remain unchanged [:(] I decided to change the way of populating tiles, whidh is clearly visible in the jungle areas. No more large clusters of trees, replaced with smaller individual trees to minimize the possibility of rendering errors.
 
As a bonus included are new environment system (based on great fork by ShrikeHawk) with reduces size of clouds and increased minimum altitude of these, to further minimize famous "trees vs clouds" rendering errors. Also I added new menu screens with GH3 theme I use in my SF2V install.

For example, a NATO 'GERMAN_AIRFIELD4' will now be 'BLUE_AIRFIELD4' and a WarPac 'SOVIET_AIRFIELD_4' will now be RED_AIRFIELD4. The 'Camiones Agrentinos' trucks mod pack have been added as default items so I've included them to this pack also.
The amount of ground objects and buildings on all airfields are on a much bigger scale than before, but I haven't really noticed much of a drop in FPS performance - although that does depend on your system and specs.
 
----------------------------------
 
INSTALLATION (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
 
* First, save a copy of your existing 'GermanyCE' terrain (in case for some strange reason you might not be happy with this mod!).
* Secondly, unzip this pack to somewhere and allow the folders within to merge with your Strike Fighters Europe installation.
* If asked to replace files, allow them to be overwritten (you saved a copy of your original terrain, yeah?).
 
You should be good to go then!
 
 
Important Note: If you don't already have these, you should download them from the SF1 downloads section, otherwise they won't show up on any WarPac airfields:
* SAMs & Vehicles Pack by Pasko.
* Soviet Transport Pack by Kesselbrut.
 
Please be sure to include the enclosed 'Camiones Argentinos' truck models by Banidos Team & Suicidal (the default 'USTruck' models have been totally replaced by these, so downloading these trucks is definitely a MUST or there'll be no trucks on any NATO airfields!!)

Country Flag Pak #1 -


 

= For SF/WoV/WoE/WoI/FE, and all SF2/FE2 series terrains


 
This includes MANY of the country flags that I've used on several terrain mods, more or less packaged together for other budding Terrain Engineers ™, and any other that might need them, to add to whatever terrain they might fit on. Many of these are already out, in the myriad of terrains mods I've done. But this will make it a bit easier to find them. There are also many being held back, for use on forth-coming terrains (Central America, for example) Some are used on terrain still 'in the works', but being released here anyway (examples: India-Pak, Iran/Iraq).
 
The lods and inis are all in ANSI, making the fully usable in ALL 3rdWire games.

I know I had others, but can't seem to find them! I can always remake them, or make new ones to "fill in the blanks" (especially for Europe ... a LOT more will be/ARE needed)
 
It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ this entire document through before trying to use the parts included in this package. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. HARD, and mercilessly. Because we're just that way
 
Happy Terrain Building!!

New tiles which reduce the size of the holes in the metal matting
 
To install simply copy and paste the tiles into the terrain and job done.
 
Thanks to Piecmeal for creating the terrain and allowing me to upload this mod.
 
Freeware use only.

This is simple addition of two more seasons (fall, winter) for my Formosa visual update mod. Created as simple 4-seasons tileset test for other project, I decided to upload it for everyone wanting to have "full seasons" tileset for this excellent map. Or to use it in other, more appropriate (climate wise) theatres.
 
"Formosa Strait Taiwanhaixia" map was created by Gepard. Remember there are great fixes by Wrench, The. Apply these
 
To install simply extract this package and move the files from the Formosa folder to
your choosen Strike Fighters 2 MOD folder/terrains/Formosa folder, overwrite when asked.
 
As this is just simple tiles pack, should work with Series1 too, but I don't have any installed at the moment to confirm.
 
And sorry for not releasing it in DDS format, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks

Cloudscape v3 09/22/2010 by ShrikeHawk
 
Here's two cloud mods for the price of one. You get a cloud mod for Wings over Israel2 and Wings over Vietnam2. Each uses two cloud images: cloud1.tga and cloud2.tga. These images are different in both, but are interchangeable between the two mods. With just a simple file renaming you can try out any of the clouds in CloudSkins 1,2,or 3 in these mods. Experiment, play with it, and see what kind of skies you can build.
 
The WOI2 mod is a variation of the new Widesky. The WoV2 mod is a variation of the default environmentsystem.ini.

Thanks to Cellinski and Insky Group for the original WideSky mod and the updated version for Thirdwire's 2nd Gen Sims.
 
Thanks to Stick for trying it out and for the support.
 
Thanks to TK for a fabulous sim and the wisdom to make it so moddable.

CloudSkins3: Clouds For Days by ShrikeHawk 09/08/2010
 
Here's a huge collection of cloud images. I've used all of these off and on for most of 2010. Many are closely related having only a slightly different paintjob from another. Others are very different, using a completely different alpha channel (dictates the shape of the cloud.)
 
You can use these in any cloud setting you like in any way you like. They will work in any version of SF1 or SF2 or any version of First Eagles.
 
This is NOT a complete mod. It is images only. Use these clouds only if you are minimally comfortable with modding.
 
See you in the clouds!

UPDATED DEFAULT SF2 DESERT TERRAIN Ver. 1.2
 
SF2 has always been my favourite of all the platforms; and after downloading and using the various terrain mods for SF2E and SF2V with hungry anticipation I decided to HEAVILY modify the stock Desert terrain with more than enough of eye candy.
 
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
Without giving too much away, the geographical story is now as follows:
 
*As well as Dhimar amd Paran, I've added Sharnak from baffmeister's Desert 2 terrain (my inspiration for this), now a colony which is known as the British Protectorate of Sharnak. RAF squadrons are permanently based there. A couple of other bases, border posts and the like have also been added from Desert 2
*I always thought that D9 and D10 airfields were always a little too close to the border. They've now been moved to the Dhimari 'wastelands' which you'll see on the centre left side of the enclosed planning map
*About ten SAM sites have been added to various locations on Dhimar and the amount of SAM sites across Paran has been hugely increased, the biggest increase being Paran's capital city of Kurzah; which in SAM site and Flak battery terms is now more like Hanoi during the Vietnam War.
*Ships, cranes, oil tanks, warehouses and the like have been added to ports on both sides. Now the capital cities of Muthala and Kurzah, have extensive docklands. Other coastal towns have at least one docking area for shipping.
*(15TH AUG 2010): Inspired by JSF Aggie's SF2 Range terrain, all airfields on both sides have been extensively facelifted and given a new lease of life by re-populating them with huge amounts of groundobjects, both new and old. They now look a lot more like real life airfields instead of that deserted 'Chernobyl International Airport' look in the default airfields. All airfields have also been re-catagorised into two different groups; 'Red' and 'Blue'. For example, a Dhimari DESERT_AIRFIELD4 will now be 'BLUE_AIRFIELD4' and a Parani one will now be 'RED_AIRFIELD4'. New trucks have been added as default groundobjects so they'll have to be downloaded elsewhere on the site (see 'Installation' for details).
 
----------------------------------
 
INSTALLATION (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
 
Simply unzip the FILE and put the enclosed 'DESERT3' folder into your Terrain folder.
 
Important Note: If you don't already have these, you should download them from the SF1 downloads section, otherwise they won't show up:
*SAMs & Vehicles Pack with Desert Skins by Pasko.
*Soviet Transport Pack by Kesselbrut.
*M109A6 Paladin by rebel ryder.
*'Camiones Argentinos' truck models by Banidos Team & Suicidal (the default 'USTruck' models have been totally replaced by these, so downloading these trucks is definitely a MUST or there'll be no trucks anywhere in Dhimar!!)
