Hi!! Well, here it goes: This is my firs attempt to creat a terrain. The idea is to
have a "realistic" terrain, with army bases, docks, shipping and truck routes, etc. to practice A2G missions, anti-ship, carrier take off and landing, you name it
I have included many ground objects and 3rd party mods, and I would like to thank the following:
Wrench, for I have borrowed ground objects from his great Libya Terrain (barbed wire, Soviet Freighter, factory building, helicopters, pillbox) and for his airbase goodies.
Stary, for his realistic and gorgeous GermanyCE tiles. They look great!!!
Piecemeal, I borrowed some layouts from his awesome DesertV4 terrain.
Rends, I borrowed some ground objects from his Germany CE terrain.
Krfrge, I took a look at his combat outpost and artillery firebase, and used them as a basis to create some.
Kesselbrut, I have included some ships he has created (trawler, tug)
Rover and Gepard for your terrain building tutorials, they have been very valuable to me!!!
PureBlue for his Airfield Development kit and those who worke to contribute to it: Sundowner: B_Trailer_Mk82, M_trailer, B_TrailerLGB, Y_Tractor, RAF_Cart, B_Duel_Y_Trac, C_Type, RAF_Bunker, TAB_Vee, HAS_M, HAS_E, c_store, Earth Walls, mounds, blast walls and all desert variants of these objects
Amokfloo: ControlTower, ForkLift, FireExtinguisher, ShelterZu
Ravenclaw: Fire Trucks
Stary: str_hangars 1 thru 8
Pureblue: FloodLight, SmallGenerator, ConcreteBlock, SunShelter, HeliPad1N
Polak: tools
Polak and the CFS Midway Group for their object Library 1.
Julhelm for his Factory Buildings.
Sundowner, for his Airfield objects.
Wingwiner for his gas station and control tower.
Mue for his great Target Area Editor, I have used it extensively.
Gerwin for his TFD Tool, very useful, specially for last-minute terrain modifications
Gepard, for his Marxwalde Air Base, included in his 10 new air base mod.
And finally, many many thanks to the CombatAce Community, you guys have always helped me in time of need!
If I there's anyone that was no tincluded and needs to, please let me know!!
You'll need to download the following:

It was tested on a full-merged SF2 install, including SF2 NA. Although it may work on non-NA installs,
it is required for the missions tht I'll upload soon.

Korea (V3) visual update and enhancements pack.
This is new tileset, treemod, objects, targets enhancement mod for Wrench's Korea(v3) terrain.
Version 1.1 update:
Added missing graphics files for the village type objects, added three graphics to main folder (were in seasonal ones) just to be extra sure
Why:
Kevin's Korea V3 terrain was released with temporal f***ing ugly test set I made for KAW team back in early 2010, despite me having some other nicer fittable sets at my disposal. Yes I have been angry about that. Very very angry. But now I am ok, good doctors care for me here ;)
This work is done to fix that omission of mine and I tired hard to make Korea nice place to fly in.
What's this:
-new summer and winter tilesets
-new tile layout-following dedicated TOD objects, with densely placed and rather real-size objects
-new era-themed ground objects (barracks, fuel tanks, tents, HQ, fire houses, misc buildings etc) to replace the stock TW ones, be it in airbases or targetareas
-some older target objects have their textures tweaked or repainted under fair use license; that is mostly various "halle" objects by either Gepard or Gocad
(various runways are yet to be repainted)
-lots of targetareas have re-positioned targets to avoid i.e. barracks in the middle of tree cluster or factories sunken within tod buildings -but there is still LOTS of places to redo. You have been warned.
-lots of targetareas expanded with additional eyecandy civilian village-type objects (though these are still a bit of WIP and bit "generic asian" in appearance; also these are old, like 5 years old)
-the tiles are specfically tuned to work best with SARCASM 2 beta 2 update 1 lighting and sky
Installation (read carefully!):
-given the amount of objects this pack replaces you are advised to keep archived full current Korea terrain you use (it's called BACKING UP and it's really healthy, trust me)
-this pack assumes you do have working Korea (v3) terrain installed and tested in your installation -dedicated Korean War installation in of course preferable
-before installing content of this 7-zip archive, go to your Korea3 folder and delete EVERY SINGLE TOD file there (the files with .tod extension) -otherwise you might end with trees in wrong places of houses in the sea. Yes, really.
-you can delete the seasonal tiles folders (winter, spring, fall, late fall etc) as this pack has new unique seasons in their new folders with new naming (fade_summer and fade_winter; why "fade"? This months-long project I kept under such code name to confuse my better half or possible Insky-related hacker bot that keeps attacking my emails. Ohh wait, where's my tilfoil hat?)
-extract this archive to a place of your choice and move the Korea3 folder to your terrains one overwriting all files when asked. Overwriting IS vital of course.
-you shall test my Sarcasm 2 beta (2 update 1) with this pack, really. i have my own, ohh well "art style" for SF2 series these packs represent; you might not like this but well, you can't change me can you?
-in SF2 WW2 forum I released some new or updated effects, work well with this pack
-you're pretty much good to go at this point
Licensing:
CA Freeware license apply -not to be used in any payware project; But you are encouraged to repaint and tweak the tiles, objects and associated graphis, tods to fit your own tileset or terrain.
Credits:
The author of the original decade old SFP1 Korea mod terrain as I tried to replicate it's general green-brownish tones.
Wrench and KAW team for Korea3 and everything-Korea related. Than you guys. KAW mod is not yet dead. Or I'd rather say quite alive and kicking.
Do335 for his work invested in putting the KAW team work and available assets back together. Much appreciated.
Luk1978 for sharing with us his interesting repaint of my Taiwan/Korea set that gave me few ideas about the general feel of the set, thank you. Be back to SF2 please as you quietly do interesting stuff IMO.
All the good and bad souls at Combat Ace and around :P
Happy flying

SF2:I IsraelME Terrain Remod 6/1/2015
= For SF2:I (or any Merged Install) =
**Note: This Is A MODERN (1948 and Later) Version -ONLY-!!!**
This is a remod of the stock SF2:I IsraelME terrain. It has been extensively retiled, target areas have been expanded and enhanced and so on. BE ADVISED: at this time, it's unknown of these terrain mods will break campaigns-in-progress. To be safe, back up any campaigns-in-progress inis.
It is designed to replace, and expand, the existing stock 3W terrain.
Stock in-game items have been used as much as possible, although some additional structrues HAVE been added. Add-on GroundObjects, while heavily listed in the _Types.ini, aren't included (really, there ARE -none- included -use the ones from the Israel 2 terrain remod, as they're the same). Its up to the End User to make sure that you have the theatre-specific (read: Israeli & Arab states) proper items. SF2:I is REQUIRED for this terrain (DOH!), as it references a myriad of IsrealME -only- terrain items.
A massive amount of retiling has been performed, with the addition of over 60 new tiles to fill in blanks left in the original set. BE ADVISED: these new tiles match the STOCK styling =ONLY=!! Do NOT use these new tiles in/on any IME terrain with any other tile set. They will not match!!
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, be placed in their Real Life locations, may visually defy gravity and other Universal Laws of Physics, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features and target areas will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, even if they might have had strategic or tactical values. You may also experience longer loading times; this is to be expected.
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 (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the document through after unzipping, but =before= installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section makes for essential reading.
It's most important that the legal disclaimer at the bottom be read and complied with. There has been a change in policy with regards to =ALL= my terrain mods.
Happy Landings!

WW2 IsraelME Terrain for SF2 6/1/2015
= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!! - MUST have SF2I in your merged install!!!) =
**Note: This Is A WW2 Version -ONLY-!!!**
This is a rebuild of the stock SF2:I IsraelME terrain into a WW2 version. Like the recently released "Palestine 2 (Full Scale)" it represents the region at the start of WW2, with British, French/Vichy French and other regional Axis Powers. Unlike the Palestine 2 terrain, THIS one has working CV zones (ala SF2NA). I did this mostly for fun, but also to have working carriers; all those FAA birds need something to do!
It is designed to be used =ONLY= in the WW2 MTO environment (read: an MTO centric mods folder). It may NOT compatable with the DAT MTO All-Inclusive Mod. This has NOT been tested.
Stock in-game items have been used as much as possible, although some additional structrues HAVE been added. Add-on GroundObjects, while heavily listed in the _Types.ini, aren't included (really, there ARE none included -use the ones from the Palestine 2 terrain, as they're the same). Its up to the End User to make sure that you have the theatre-specific (read: Allies & Axis) proper items. SF2:I is REQUIRED for this terrain, as it references a myriad of IsrealME only terrain items.
A massive amount of retiling has been performed, with the addition of over 60 new tiles to fill in blanks left in the original set. BE ADVISED: these new tiles match the STOCK styling ONLY!! Do NOT use these new tiles in/on any IME terrain with any other tile set. They will not match!!
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, be placed in their Real Life locations, may visually defy gravity and other Universal Laws of Physics, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features and target areas will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, even if they might have had strategic or tactical values. Some airfields may actually be 'post-war', but have been left for game playability. And So Forth . You may also experience long loading times; this is to be expected.
When in game, you'll see:
"Middle East (WW2-3W)"
The "3W" designates this is built from a stock 3rd Wire Terrain.
Limited Nations is set to TRUE, and only uses historical WW2 Nations (ie: no Americans). This will allow campaign builders to not only replicate the fighting against Vichy forces in the Levant & Syria, but allows a more 'what if..' situation, giving Italian and German forces a greater presence in Mandate Palestine, TransJordan, and Iraq.
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 (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the document through after unzipping, but =before= installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section makes for essential reading.

WW2 Palestine 2 Terrain (Full Scale) for SF2 5/1/2015
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!!) =
**Note: This Is A WW2 Version -ONLY-!!!**
This is a (yet again??!!) another mod of Gepard's Israel 2 terrain. Like the "modern version", it's has been 90% retiled to more match the stock IsraelME and my "Eastern Med" terrains. However, the farm and city tiles remain in their original '3W Desert' style. All other tiles have been replaced. The target areas have, for the most part, been rebuilt, enhanced and expanded.
It is designed to be used =ONLY= in the WW2 MTO environment (read: an MTO centric mods folder). It may -NOT- be compatable with the DAT MTO All-Inclusive Mod. This has not been tested.
The addon terrain objects have been kept to a minimum (no, not really!). Stock in-game items have been used as much as possible, although some additional structrues HAVE been added. Add-on GroundObjects, while heavily listed in the _Types.ini, have been kept to as small an amount as possible (again, not really!).
I've included =SOME= of the Ground Objects needed but NOT all of them. Its up to the End User to make sure that you have the theatre-specific (read: Allies & Axis) proper items. Of the ones included, many of these you should have from my other MTO terrains, some you may not. Some are even "new(ish)".
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, be placed in their Real Life locations, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features and target areas will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, even if they might have had strategic or tactical values (most don't!). Just someplace to fly over. Some airfields may actually be 'post-war', but have been left for game playability. And So Forth . Long loading times may also be experienced due to the number of objects being loaded.
When in game, you'll see:
"Palestine, WW2 (Full Scale)"
Limited Nations is set to TRUE, and only uses historical WW2 Nations (ie: no Americans). This will allow campaign builders to not only replicate the fighting against Vichy forces in the Levant & Syria, but allows a more 'what if..' situation, giving Italian and German forces a greater presence (they are listed in the Nations.ini). Like the modern version, this terrain is =NOT= carrier capable in =any= SF2 Environment; which is really sad! (see notes).
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 (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the document through after unzipping, but =before= installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining (and essential!) reading.

Israel 2 Terrain (ver 4.1) Upgrade/Update for SF2 3/28/2015
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!!) =
**Note: this terrain replaces any and all previous versions!!**
This is an (almost) complete rebuild of my 2008 build of Gepard's Israel 2 terrain. The
terrain has been 90% retiled to more match the stock IsraelME and my "Eastern Med"
terrains. However, the farm and city tiles remain in their original 'desert' style. All
other tiles have been replaced. The target areas have, for the most part, been rebuilt,
enhanced and/or expanded. As is to be expected, several new tiles, and their associated
TODs had to be created.
It is designed to be used =ONLY= in the SF2:I environment.
The addon terrain objects have been kept to a minimum (no, not really!). Stock in-game
items have been used in most cases, although some additional structrues HAVE been added.
Add-on GroundObjects, while heavily listed in the _Types.ini, have been kept to as small
an amount as possible.
I've included =SOME= of the Ground Objects needed but NOT all of them. Its up to the End
User to make sure that you have the theatre-specific (read: Israeli and Arab nations)
proper items. That means, I've given you no AAAs/SAMs/Radars, Tanks, SPGs, ships, etc (and
any associated guns/weapons they'd require).
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real
Life courses, be placed in their Real Life locations, or exist at all. Several
cities and other physical features, and target areas will also fall into that
classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, even if they
might have had strategic or tactical values (most don't!). Just someplace to fly over.
When in game, you'll see:
"Isreal 2 (Full Scale)"
Limited Nations is set to TRUE, and only contains regional states. This terrain is =NOT=
carrier capable in =any= SF2 Environment (see notes - and I don't know why!).
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest

This is a full IcelandNA Terrain in Standar Resolution like the other origninal sceneries, to replace the original High resolution StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic IcelandNA, with all airbases structures and targets, as far i test it.
For this mod i used:
Baltika Iceland02 Full-scale Terrain v1.0
(as base file for the replacement file)
Third Wire Desert and Germany Original Terrains
(as complement of Baltika Iceland02 Full-scale Terrain v1.0)
Third Wire Strike Fighters 2 Extractor
(To extract the necessary files)
Canadair .Cat Pack Creator
(To Create the File)
I used Baltika Iceland02 Full-scale Terrain v1.0, then i extract desert and germany terrain files and use the texture files as complement for Iceland02 Full-scale Terrain and then re pack it to make a replace file insted of the high definition North Atlantic Terrain.
is not an original file it is a remade file
