WW2 Allied Bombing Range - Final-                5/1/2018
- For SF2, Any & All (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended)
**Please note, you should have SF2 for this terrain references many stock items from the Desert.cat.However, instructions are provided to use other terrain cats.*** 
This is a major overhaul of Several of the target areas on the Allied Bombing Range. This is designed =ONLY= for WW2 Allied usage. It can be used for practice by any and all of the Allied nations. There are a myriad of targets, both the old and newer ones, to hone you skills in level and dive bombing, strafing with guns and/or rockets (for those aircraft equipped). I intend THIS to be the Final Version.
It =WILL= replace all earlier versions of the Allied Bombing Range, so you'll need to backup, move/remove or delete any older version you may have.
Like the revamped modern range terrains, it has been retiled in an "IME" desert style with the addition of a water feature for anti-shipping. See "Change Log" in the Notes section for more details
As is reccomended, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you -READ- this document (THIS readme), expecially the "To Install" section, after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing.
 
As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. 
Please also read the Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been changed slightly to reflect a change in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post.
Happy Hunting!

Kuril Islands 1.0
*****************************************************
This terrain is written for SF2.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
This terrain covers the Kurils islands, a small group of islands which were conquered by the soviets in September 1945 from Japan. There is also a small part of the japanese island of Hokkaido.
This terrain is made for carrier ops in primary. You may fly ground based planes too. There are two small japanese airfields and 3 soviet airfields.
The soviets deployed an aray of SAM sites over the islands of Kunashir and Iturup.
To run this terrain you need SF2NA and one of these: SF2I or SF2E.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic /terrain folder.
Because IcelandNA terrain does not include all neccessary objects to run this terrain properly you need to link it to an other terrains CAT file.
From stock the terrain is prepared to link with SF2 Israel
If you dont have SF2I you must open the file kurilen.ini with Windows notepad editor.
Look for the lines:
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
//CatFile=..\VIETNAMSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
//CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
Add // in front of  CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat  to switch ot off.
Then remove // at one of the other lines. Which you should remove depends on which SF2 game you still have installed side by side with SF2 North Atlantic.
Save it.

Thats it.

III. Credits.
The TOD's, what means the trees and autogenerated houses on the map, are mostly taken from various tilesets made by Stary.
The SAM protection walls are taken from Pureblues AirfieldDevKit. They were originaly made by Sundowner.
The basic files for the taxiways, parking areas and quais are made by ErikGen.
I hope i have not forgotten someone.

Copy to SWUS. In this patch, it is aimed to be able to perform SEAD missions on SWUS map by adding AAA ie air defense systems to two enemy airports on SWUS map. Just export the ini files to the SWUS map map file and print over them. hopefully soon a nice city patch update for SWUS map comes up.

SF2 Hawaii/Northern Pacific Terrain, Modern (v.2)        9/5/2020
- For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Paks REQUIRED!!!)
This is a rebuild of the WW2 Hawaiian Islands terrain into a more "modern" version (1950s and later). This is NOT a WW2 version; it is for post-war into modern times. Do NOT use this in your WW2 PTO mods folder!! You must also have SF2NA are part of you merged installs. This was built and tested in the NA environment.
You may experience longer than normal loading times due to the number of terrain objects. It should be noted, due to the inherent scaling issue in the SF series, objects placed herein are, for the most part, representative of their Real World counterparts. See "Notes" for more information. 
When in game, on the Terrain Selection drop-down, you'll see:
Hawaii (Modern)
Even though the folder remains in it's original name of just "Hawaii".
As is recommended, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's recommended you -read- the document through after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing.
 
As always, the "Notes and Other Nonsense" section may make for entertaining reading. Down in that section is a list of required ships that you're going to need!! I've supplied SOME items, but you End Users (tm) are responsible for all the rest. !!PLEASE!!! read the "Notes" section for more more detailed explainations of this terrain, and it's limitations. 
Good Hunting!

Battle of Britain 2 Terrain Operation Seelöwe
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2E.
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
Battle of Britain 2 terrain Operation Seelöwe is a complete rework of my Battle of Britain terrain from 2009. It is completly new tiled, to give it a much better look. Each tile has now a size of 1024x1024 pixel, what is 4 times higher than in the old terrain.
The terrain is made with "Operation Seelöwe" in mind. This operation was a german military plan from 1940 to land with strong forces on english soil. This operation was planed in a timeframe from summer till early autumn 1940. Thatswhy i made no seasoned tileset. To simulate the ground battles after the german invasion i set some german beachheads on the map, so that now CAS missions can be flown.  
The area of Londow along the river Themse is new tiled by using satellite images. To hold the frame rate of the game as high as possible, i made the rivertiles not as tga files, but as ordinary jpg files. Thatswhy you will not find waves and reflexions on the river Themse and the most other rivers in this terrain.
The City of London is populated with house blocks. So is is destroyable by bomb raids.
The airfields in Britain are made by using old air footages from WW2. The design of the german bases is fiction. I was not able to find air footages from 1940 for this airfields. Please make sure, that your bombers have the setting
MinBaseSize=MEDIUM    
in their data.ini of the plane. Otherwise the bombers will also use fighter bases.
At the moment Battle of Britain 2 terrain contains 312 target areas. Some target areas are named PQsomething. PQ comes from the german word "Planquadrat", which is in english "grid". I decided to use the term PQ to simulate german planningmaps.
The terrain comes with two new nations. First the Luftwaffe of the Third Reich and the fictionary Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte of the Republic of Germany. Both nations have own insiginas, which you can select for single missions. The swastika i made only in a "camouflaged" version, because in Germany it is not allowed to handle this symbol in a game.
I have also moded the missioncontrol.ini file. Now the planes are closer to their base when they start a landing approach.
The terrain comes with 3 campaigns.
No.1 is Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in Britain in late summer 1940
No.2 is the so called Nonstop Offensive, the british air strikes over the Channel in 1941
No.3 is Operation Seelöwe in 1956 with a fiction Republic of Germany as invader.
For the campaigns you need following planes:
BF109E-4 by RussoUK         https://combatace.com/files/file/14035-bf109e-47z/
Ju-88A-1 by Veltro2k   https://combatace.com/files/file/15445-junkers-ju-88-a1/

WW2 RAF Bombers pack by Wrench   https://combatace.com/files/file/13795-sf2-ww2-raf-bombers-pak/
For the german 1956 campaign you need a MiG-17 cockpit
The best is made by Stary   https://combatace.com/files/file/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-cockpit/

Socotra 1.0
*****************************************************
This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2 Israel.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
Socotra is a relativly big island on the shores of the Horn of Africa. It belongs to Yemen.
Socotra is an ideal position to control all shipping lines between the Mediterranian Sea and the Indian Ocean.
The power who controls Socotra can easily block the oil support from the Gulf to Western Europe.
Socotra is the cork in the bottle neck, like Djibouti, the Suez Canal or Gibraltar.
From mid 1960th to the fall of the Soviet Union, the soviets had an airbase on Socotra. In the 1980th on the base one regiment (squadron) of Su-24 bombers was active on Socotra.
This terrain is made for a scenario that the Americans must defeat the soviet forces on Socotra island. They had to operate from carrier positions in the Gulf of Aden. For all guys who love to fly Air Force planes i made a temporary american airfield in Somalia.
In the timeframe, where the soviets have no own carriers the single missions are focused on Socotra island. When the soviets field carriers the terrain is mostly focused on carrier vs carrier battles. So, if you prefer carrier vs ground battles you must choose missions before 1976. After that date you will have to fight Kiev carrier battle groups.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

Thats it.

If you have SF2Israel installed you must do nothing more.
If you miss SF2I and have SF2Europe you must open file
Sokotra.ini
with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
change the entry into:
//CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

This mixed tree pack was initially created for a super vanilla pack of WOX series that is shared within the
little circle of Insky Team. There are quite a number of new features to be extracted from that pack (the first one
was "better widesky")
 
The purpose of mixing 1x and 2x trees was to bring a good feeling of speed without compromising too much of
plant coverage on moutain areas. From my observation I can say it meets the purpose quite well.
 
Unfortunately the tree mod of Germany map includes only high-detailed tree 3d file. please don't use it if you
have severe framerate hit after installation.
 
The tree texture for Vietnam map is downscaled for better performance. unless you are observing right from the
ground, you will not find noticable difference about its presence.
 
Enjoy it, and feel free to report any problem.

Phillipines Islands 1944, WW2 PTO Terrain for SF2
 
- For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended)
 
= For Adventures in the Western Pacific =
 
*Note: this pack includes the PI 44 update pak released sometime back. It is designed for the timeframe of the US Invasion of Leyte in late 1944. It uses SF2NA statements for carrier-based operations. Hence, your PTO mods folder =SHOULD= (read: MUST) be built from the SF2NA exe. It is designed to REPLACE, in total, any eariler versions.*
 
**Note2: IMPORTANT! Make sure you have the WW2 ground objects!!**
 
This map repsents the situation in the Phillipines from approximately October thru December 1944, just after the US Invasion of Leyte. To that end, the eastern regions of Leyte, and southern Samar are conisdered (somewhat) 'secured' and in Allied hands. The rest of the country is still "Occupied Territory".
 
The LimitedNations statement is set to TRUE, allowing only for the regional powers that took part. The terrain also makes use of the 'AllowedDates" statement, preventing use BEFORE October 1944 (but dosen't seem to be working quite right post 7/13 patch)
 
LOTS of new tiles and their associated TODs have been created, and match the Green Hell 3 styling. There is also, as expected, a few Easter Eggs.
 
Also included are several (ok, LOTS) GroundObjects, some you may have already, but a few are new. Some are updates of ships, tanks, truck and etc seen in my other terrain mods. These are designed to REPLACE any pre-existing ones I've done. Be advised, you'll still need many of the other WW2 PTO objects I've included in other terrain mod paks. Make sure you have them!!!
 
REMEMBER: you will need the latest WW2 weapons and Guns pack! Some are supplied, but just to be safe...
 
**Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life ™ courses, or be placed in their Real Life ™ locations, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features may also fall into that classification. Some cities exist as 'named places' only. Some airfields may not be in their historical locaitons due to Height Field and other tiling restrictions.**
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you READ this document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing.
 
Again, as always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading.
 
Please also read the New Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been changed slightly to reflect a change in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post.

For Strike Fighters 2.
 
Built for real time game generated strike missions. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to do a round trip strike mission. Paran and Dhimar get 4 airports each and the front line is relocated to what used to be central Dhimar. Main Features:
 
1. 141 target areas including 10 SAM sites for Paran.
 
2. Easy install.
 
3. Many "Freeware" objects being used.
 
4. Quicker Take Off mod included with customized parking spots. Large aircraft parking will accept C-5A sized aircraft.
 
5. Contains Ground Attack, Truck, and Ship routes so you can fly CAS, Armed Recon and anti-ship missions.
 
6. Has a 3X zoom map from an older version of SF that shows desert and green spaces better.
 
7. Installation won't affect your stock "Desert" terrain.
 
8. Negative points awarded if you cause collateral damage.
 
CREDITS: Thanks to these folks for creating and allowing freeware use of their building objects:
 
1. This project uses some objects from MITCH's "Factory Place" project. There seems to be a consensus within the Strike Fighters community that it's OK to use these objects for FreeWare projects.
3. WRENCH, for hosting the "Factory Place" objects at his website. And for the cool "Shipwrecks!"
2. GEPARD, for some objects I lifted from his DRV terrain.
4. PASKO, for the round tents, now used by the Bedouins.
5. GRUMPOTAMUS, for the Radar Dome.
6. WINGWHINER, for the some Factories, Headquarters Building, Gas Station, Tactical Control Center, and Control Tower H1.
7. STARY, for the his hangar pack.
8. FUBAR512, for the Pecco Crane.
New for this version:
9. WINGWHINER again for some buildings from his epic 43 city buildings pack.
10.JULHELM for some industrial silo's/buildings
11.RussoUK and Gepard for the Oil Rig.
12.EZLead for the formation take off mod.
13. TK and ThirdWire for creating such an interesting flight sim / hobby.
 
Changes for this version: Unless a patch does something really bad to this terrain, it is the final version. Using some buildings from WingWhiners 43 city building pack finally gave me the variety I was looking for. Check out EZleads included formation take off mod, it's a perfect fit for this terrain!

FOR SFP1, SFGOLD, and SF2.
 
 
This mod adds 2 more fictional countries to the stock desert terrain. The new countries are the Republic of Dohar, allied with Paran, and the Sultanate of Sharnak, allied with Dhimar. The mod adds some new airports, cities and towns in the unoccupied western section of the desert terrain, as well as border posts, lookout towers and some new oil fields for Dhimar and Paran. This version is likely the final one.
 
Main Features:
 
1. Easy install that won't affect the stock terrain.
2. 3 time zoom map showing new border areas.
3. a few new attack and truck routes added for CAS and Armed Recon missions
 
CREDITS: Thanks to Whiteknight 06604 for making the Dohar and original Sharnak decals.
 
Changes for version 2.2:
1. Terrain leveled at Canopic airfield.
2. The airfield at Fasala has been moved and the terrain leveled at the new location.
3. Some seldom used terrain tiles have been repainted so the airfields at Shalabar and Al'Aranak are on greenspace.
4. Optional textures for the SF-2 dirt runway included.
 
NOTES: Still working on a new terrain for the four fictional countries but it won't be ready for a loooooooong time.

These are enhanced planning/navigation maps for Piecemeal's Desert3 terrain. I've added missing airfields descriptions, missing airfield icons, made all airfield icons indicate N-S runway orientation, enhanced the look of the in-flight moving map for better immersion and stuff.
 
Installation:
 
1.Unpack the archive and copy all 3 *.BMP files to your Terrains/DESERT3 folder in MOD directory and overwrite files if asked.
 
2. Enjoy!

High Resolution (1024x1024) SF2E GermanyCE terrain update part 2 of 2
 
This package, split into two parts, is full visual update to SF2E Germany map. Created from scratch, includes high resolution (1024 x 1024 pixels) seasonal tilesets to create 5 distinctive seasons in game (6, actually). Many areas of Germany, aswell as airbase areas were retiled with new custom seasonal tiles.
 
Included is also newer high resolution, high density treemod with updated graphics.
 
!!!PLEASE NOTE THIS MOD WAS DEVELOPED FOR STRONG COMPUTERS!!!
 
You need 512MB Dx10 capable card to run it without slowdowns on full resolution.

East Africa/Madagascar Terrain, Version 2.0 for SF/Wo* and SF2
 
This is a complete rebuild of the terrain originaly released in June 2004. It has been extensively retiled, and has had a MAJOR upgrade in the targetization. It is designed to COMPLETELY replace that original version. It has been fully updated to use in the post-patch and SF2 worlds.
 
This is a COMPLETE package, with everything needed to just unzip, install, and fly over. All the tiles are included, including Stary's "Mad Trees Mod", creating a more 'lush' version. Many new TODs have been created, so you'll see lots of trees and small buildings in and around the cites.
 
Extensive upgrading has been performed on the targets, types, data and movement inis , to make use of 08 and SF2 level terrain effects, and the targeting enhancements. New planning maps of all 3 levels have been generated and included.
 
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.
 
It has been tested in all 1st Gen Sims (SF/WoV/WoE/ at 10/08 patch levels) and SF2 (merged).. It should work in FE & WoI (also post Expansion Pak and Post Patch) with the correct cat pointer -- this has NOT been tested, however. It should will work in SF2, as long as you adjust the cat pointer lines in the main ini, and 'reroute' the terrain effect pointer (more on that in the install instructions, below). However, with the old style terrain effects, it works just fine.
 
Yes, for those expecting it, there IS at least one Easter Egg on this terrain ...
 
MAKE SURE YOU THOROUGHLY READ THE README ON HOW TO USE IT IN ALL SIMS! or you will be clowned...big time.....

Danger: Bering Straits Nations Fix for SF2 series -ONLY-


 
 
Just a small package of 2 inis, that activate the "LimitedNations" statement for the Major Lee's DBS terrain.
 
This will now effectively "cut off" any nations for single mission play that shouldn't be seen in the region. Obviously, one would NOT expect to find Isreali, North Vietnamese, Belgian, Lybian or anyone else that just plane shouldn't be there.
 
The nations have been limited to the "usual suspects" for the region:
 
USAF
USN
USMC
RCAF (CAF)
and
Soviet
 
Nothing else has been changed, just the players on this playground. So, =all= the normal mission statements (CAS, Sweep, Anti-Ship, etc) are active as normally seen.
 
It's reccomended for use with the 2 updates that have been released for DBS, and you should have them already before installing this mod:
 
Bering Straits Terrain Targets Upgrade Pak
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/7684-bering-straits-terrain-targets-upgrade/
 
Bering Straits Water Fix Mod
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/10787-dbs-water-fix/
 
While designed for SF2 series, it will most likely work in SF/Wo* 1stGens at the 08 patch level that can take advantage of the limited nations statement. However, this has =NOT= been tested. Those that do install to first gens, feedback is requested.
 
As always, a simple and easy to follow readme is enclosed -- so read it!!! You're actually only changing 2 files, but I'm from the world of CYA, so... READ IT!!

Formosa Terrain, Limited nations Fix
 
This little tweek for Gepard's Formosa terrain will add the LimitedNations usage, cutting down on the chance of any unwanted visitors to the playground showing up.
 
This mod consists of the Formosa.ini and Formosa_Nations.ini. Nothing anywhere else is changes; it only creates a 'fixed' number of countries that are allowed here. This tweek, while designed for SF2 series, will also work in SF/Wo* 1st Gens at the 08 patch level, if you've back-converted this terrain to work in 08s.
 
As always, it's suggested you read this little readme. It's acutally quite short and pretty easy to follow. For a change.
 
No screenie included.

Updates, Fixes and Clean-Up For SF2 Series (Full-4 Merged Perfered)


 
 
What started out as a simple "straighten out some tiles and fix some target areas", turned into a massive revamp.... Like the original, it takes place in the post-WW3-ish world of the North American Alliance vs the Global Sedition. It is desigened for use any time period post-1950 through the present day (ala The Wingman series, or the TV series 'Jericho' or any of a number of post-apocalyptic movies, books or whathaveyous)
 
This is the FULL terrain, with some major changes updates, upgrades, etc. The targets, movements, data, types inis have all been expanded extensively. Massive retiling of a majority of the terrain will, hopefully, make it look a bit more like it's Real World ™ counterpart. Place names match the Real World; some however may be slightly displaced due to how terrains are built.
 
This is designed to REPLACE the original (and it's updates) in it's entirety, and is designed =ONLY= for use in SF2, preferably with a Full-4 Merged Install. This terrain makes use of the Desert cat to "pull" items from. It may work with the Germany or Vietnam, but this has NOT been tested. It will NOT work with the SF2:I Isreal cat. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE ISREALME CAT WITH THIS TERRAIN!!!The inis have been excessivly edited for use ONLY in the SF2 series. With Expert Level Knowledge on terrains/terrain ini editing, it =may= be possible to back-date/adjust for use in 1stGens. This has NOT been tested, and is NOT reccomended. Those that try, can expect 0, zilch, nada, =no= support from me on this issue. You're on your own -you have been warned.
 
Also added were many new tiles, updating/repainting of some other tiles (to make them fit and look better), and many new, custom TODs for buildings and trees and such. New planning maps have been generated as well. I'm trying out something 'new' on the symbols and labels, I hope you like it.
 
And, just for fun, I've included a variety of missions flown over this map. Remember, these are for a Full-4 Merged install, so those that are not merged, may not have all the aircraft available. It goes without saying, that those flown from the Red Side, you MUST have flyable MiGs in your install. They have been editated to make sure all aircraft are stock in a Full-4 Merged.
 
You will also be making some 'adjustments' to the FlightEngine.ini, with regards to expanding the map borders. This will eliminate certain 'issues' when flying near the map edges. Full, detailed instructions are below, in the "To Adjust Borders" section.
 
It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ this entire document through before installing this mod. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. HARD, and mercilessly. As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or you desktop to gain access to the full readme, and the files herein. Again, as always, there's a "Notes & Other Nonesense" section with explainations and other ramblings.
 
Good Hunting!

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!

INSTALLATION

This pack will update both v1.0 and v1.01 to v1.02.
 
Simply unzip and drop the various new files into your \Terrains\ICELAND02 folder, making sure to over-write the previous versions.
 
This update is good for SF2 and SFP1/WoX installs.
 
 
***********************************

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
