SF2 WW2 Central Pacific Terrain Fix-It Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 Central Pacific Terrain Fix-It Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (REQUIRED!!) =
** Note: This mod will =ONLY= work correctly in a WW2 PTO mods folders built FROM the SF2NA exe. This is only REAL way to get all the proper coding necessary for the operational CV Zones. It will absolutely NOT work correctly in any other versions, and most definatly NOT at all in SF/Wo* 1stGens at any patch level **
This relatively small pak contains the necessary inis, a new _water.bmp, etc to bring the WW2 Central Pacific Terrain (aka "The Marianas") up to SF2NA standards at the July, 2012 patch.
It uses several 'NA-only' switches, the LimitedNations=TRUE statements, and a new _water.bmp with semi-correct CV zones (I say semi, as for ease of play, as the map is divided east/west for IJN and USN, as opposed to the historical version, with the USN TFs west of Guam). The _targets.ini has been slightly reworked, to remove the static parked aircraft, allowing the Game Engine to populate them automatically. Perhaps incorrectly, but populated nonetheless :).
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 the document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing.
As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining and enlightning 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.
Good Hunting!

Anatolia Project v2
By PureBlue
Anatolia v2 (09/25/2011) for SF2 Series by PureBlue (Umut Destan)
------------------------------------------------------------------
v2 Ramblings
-----------------------
New features:
- The tileset is now based on Stary's GermanyCE reworked tileset v1.1.
- New planning map contributed by Spectre8750
- New target areas (Mostly around the border, for future campaign plans)
- New airfields (Stefanovikio AB, Ercan and Paphos in Cyprus)
- A few airfields with new designs
- Most naval groundobjects now include properly defined "destroyed models."
- New SAM vehicles included (Crotale Standin, Avenger, L60 Bofors...)
- More work in Cyprus. Some roads, barracks, harbours.. (Still work in progress)
I suggest creating an Exclusive Install for this terrain.
The pack already includes historically accurate groundobjects, and many of the aircraft used
in the region are already available as mods and more are on the way..
Hopefully the next step for the project will be a pack that includes everything; campaings/objects/aircraft/terrain.
Have fun!
v1 Ramblings
-----------------------
This project has been in development for 3 years and is the fruit of long hours of
research, design and implementation work. I've met great people along the way and
they made many contributions to the project. I thank every one of them but my special
appreciations go to, Steve "Swambast" who worked countless hours with me and developed
STT (Swambast's Target Translator) which let me lay the foundation of this project;
and Stary, a great artist from Poland who is behind all the beautiful looks of the terrain;
Dave and the CombatAce team for providing us the platform to meet and have fun.
The project includes a large map covering Anatolia (Turkiye), Greece, Aegean, Black Sea, and eastern Med.
The download also includes many ground and terrain objects, contributed by the talented modders in our
community. It's essential to install all these components to get the complete experience.
Enjoy!
INFO & INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project is designed for 2nd Gen SF2 series.
Succesfully tested in SF2:Europe and above. (A merged EXP2 install is recommended but not a requirement.)
There are 2 ways/methods to install this Mod.
#1 An exclusive install just for this Mod.
#2 Installing on top of the mod folder you already are using. (meaning, merging with your own install)
*** The preferred method of install is the (1) exclusive install. Since there are many groundobjects,
ships and air defense systems placed in handpicked locations, it's better to only use the objects that
come with this projects' files. The included ones are the makes/models that Turkish and Greek sides have
in their inventory. (As best as I could research and find appropriate mods for)
INSTALL METHOD #1
1. Rename a set of your "game.exe and game.ini" files to "Anatolia.exe and Anatolia.INI"
(eg. StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe and StrikeFighters2 Europe.INI)
Run the newly renamed Anatolia.exe once, so you have a new Mod Folder.
Check this link if you don't know what a ModFolder is. http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
2. Now go into your new ModFolder and delete the "Objects\GroundObject" folder.
3. Time to copy the project files. Copy the included "Terrains" and "Objects" folders to your ModFolder.
With this project, a terrain folder, groundobjects and their respective guns/weapons are included.
INSTALL METHOD #2
With this method, you only copy the included "Terrains" and "Objects" folders to your ModFolder.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Everytime you load up the game. Run a quick single mission and quit without flying.
All the successive SingleMission/Campaign games will work as designed and expected.
(Why do this? Because the project includes many ground objects, seldomly the game engine has problems loading
everything, so the first mission you load up will have many objects/ships missing from the map.
The game does some kind of caching so after that first mission, everything will show!)
2. If you don't have a powerfull computer, lower your settings to avoid crashes.
If your game crashes or locks up at %100 LOAD, try running your first mission with Settings:
-Enemy Air Activiy: LIGHT, Enemy Air Defense: LIGHT
3. The Terrain has LimitedNations set the TRUE. So you'll only get aircraft with only Turkish and Greek markings.
4. A specific Anatolia_EnvironmentSystem.INI is included and you can edit it to your liking.
Take note that in the Environment file the clouds are set to a specific MinBaseAltitude to overcome the cloud bug.
5. All included Guns/Weapons/Sounds are for the necessary ground objects. Nothing extra is included here.
Without the GroundObjects and their respective files, the map will not look as designed.
(For example, naval traffic in the Aegean, historical sam sites and navy/army bases)
6. Most naval traffic in the Aegean Sea is classified as NEUTRAL. You can attack them but you can't order your
wingman to do so. If you want, edit & classify the target areas as "Alignment=ENEMY" in the Anatolia_TARGETS.INI

SF2NA WW2 Phillipines Islands (1944) Terrain Update
By Wrench
SF2NA WW2 Phillipines Islands (1944) Terrain Update
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY) =
*This mod will aboslutely =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs; it is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 PTO-centric mods folder that is built off the SF2:NA exe.*
A very quick and dirty mod for the WW2 Phillipines Island terrain that adds the required NA "coding" and _water.bmp with carrier stations.
This is =NOT= a full terrain: just inis & a _water.bmp. It is to be applied to the modified version of the terrain I (re)relased in 2008, avaliable at this URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/7145-ww2-phillipine-islands-by-edward/
New main, data, targets, nations,and types inis, along with (excessvely) modified desert airfield inis, allow for a 'drag-drop' update to SF2NA. A new SF2NA style water bmp with 2 carrier 'zones' was created and included.
LimitedNations is set to TRUE; make sure you have the latest version of the WW2 Nations ini, as 'IJN' is most definatly one of the nations needed.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, PLEASE read them for necessary instructions. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. More Carrier Capable Aircraft are coming soon ... please be paitent! I'm only one guy doing 6 peoples work on no budget....
Happy Landings!

India-Pakistan Terrain Tweeks Pak
By Wrench
India-Pakistan Terrain Tweeks Pak
- For SF2, Any and All -
This is a relatively small tweeks pak for the India-Pakistan terrain. It is to be applied to the original I/P terrain download available at
http://combatace.com/files/file/11805-india-pakistan-terrain/
There has been a few small changes in the 'eye candy' department, and a slight cleanup of some of the airbases. A few new terrain =AND= GroundObjects have been added, and included for ease of installation. These changes are not major and will not effect much, except adding the recently released fuel truck repaints, both the red and yellow 'followme' jeeps, and little things like that.
A new TFD and HFD are included, as some retiling had to be done. Also, a new "india1" planning map was created. It's just very basic, showing the region.
As always, fairly simple, easy to follow install instructions are included. Please read and follow them. It's pretty straight-forward (for once!)
Happy Landings!

Himalaya Terrain
By Wrench
Himalaya Terrain Updates, For SF2 Series (& SF/Wo*, too!)
I was unable to find the readme that came with Major Lee's original release, so this will have to suffice. This terrain was first released in 2004.
Some modifications and the like for Major Lee's Himalaya terrain, updating tileing, targeting, movements and suchlike. Designed for use in a Full-4 Merged SF2 install. It should, however, work just fine in standard unmerged installs, and with some editating, in all 1stGen series as well.
As stated above, this is the FULL terrain, with all internal objects needed. You simply need to unzip and install. Some new tiles have been added to make it look a bit more 'lived in', and several new target areas have been added (cause everyone needs someone to bomb...). All the inis have been updated, and a new Movements.ini created for CAS and Armed_Recon missions. This map also makes use of the LimitedNations and LimitedMissions statements for both sides, so you won't have any Anti-ship missions since the nearest ocean is like 1500+ miles to the south. You will also be extracting and editing the game's Nations.ini to add the new nation of Nepal. A new Nepalese ground unit is also supplied.
This terrain mod, while designed for SF2 merged installs, is easily back-dated for use in all 1st Gen SF/SFG/Wo* game installs at the 08 Patch Level. You'll just need to change the shader statments; instructions are below. No editing is necessary for the ground objects; other than having the guns and weapons for the infantry unit.
Also added are several new tiles, creating some cities, hills and mountains, rivers for the region, and filling in the Kathmandu valley with farms and fields. The northern, higher elevations (heading into Tibet and China), while having a city or 2, are still predominantly snow/rock fields. Some liberties have been taken with target placements, but they are named correctly, and more or less in their Real Life locations. Give or take a few dozen kilometers, and several thousand meters in altitude. This terrain mod contains 2 of the highest altitude airbases in any mod ... fly accordingly!
It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ this entire document through before installing this mod. Especially the Notes section. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. Hard and mercilessly.
Happy Landings!

Baltic Terrain (Ostseeausgang) Tweeks Pak
By Wrench
Baltic Terrain Tweeks, for "Ostseeausgang" Terran by Gepard
= For SF2, Any and All =
(can also more than likely be used in 1st Gens as well, you just don't use the water.bmp)
Just a little, quick and dirty tweeks pak, that adds new planning maps (all 3) and a modified Pit1.ini that removes the shadow 'tractor beam issue'. Also included, for SF2 usage, is a new _water.bmp (called Baltic_Water.bmp)
The terrain is available here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13009-baltic-entrance-ostseeausgang/
Super easy, simple install instructions are below.
Happy Landings!

SF2:NA -- Iceland Targets Tweek Pak, V.1
By Wrench
IcelandNA Targets Tweek for SF2:NA
= For SF2NA, And/Or Full-5 Merged Installs ONLY!! =
*Note: for the SF2:NA IcelandNA map ONLY!!! It may be usable on Gerwins TFD/HFD based terrain, but many items will need repositioning due to the existence of actual coastlines*
Some very basic enhancements to the target areas on Iceland, to increase the 'eye candy' and try to make it loook like people actually live there. Using the basic layout of several stock 'cities', filling in some gaps.
As to be expected, there are at least 2 Easter Eggs on this terrain - one real, one fictional. I've tried to keep the needed ground objects to a minimum, so they are not included. You should have them from other terrain mods. (fishing trawlers, small cargo ship). Tried to keep it a 'stock' as possible. However, some enhancements have been perfromed on Air Defenses on both sides, but a -very- minimum, just in case things change radically with the next patch.
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 the document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing.
happy landings!

Sweden
By gillg
Another Sweden Terrain!!!!
It does venture further South into what is now Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. If you increase the boundary, you can get the North of Poland as well and maybe a little bit of Norway.
I would like to do better planning maps and more road bases for Sweden. But I realise that it has taken me this long to get this far and
life is not slowing down so I release it to the masses to scrutinize. That and JonathanRL would like to stuff around with it. So this ones for you Jono!!
Good luck.
Installation:
Unzip the "Sweden" to a temp folder, or your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
Then copy/paste, move the Sweden terrain folder into your Terrains folder in whichever game install you're installing it to!.
Go to the Sweden.in file and change the cat to the appropriate cat file.
Go fly!
Decals included:

Full-Scale Iceland Terrain
By Baltika
***********************************
Iceland 02 Full-Scale Terrain v2.0
by Baltika
***********************************
This is a major upgrade to my little Iceland terrain.
New features:-
Forest tiles and trees - yup, there are now some forests on Iceland, just as in reality.
Extensive targetisation upgrade, with many newly targetised areas.
Several new terrain tile types.
Network of NATO radar stations, with accurate operational dates.
Re-tiling of some coastal areas to fix tsunamis.
Some terrain HFD work for greater accuracy.
Custom environment file to create snowstorm conditions for inclement weather. Cheers to Stary for that one ;-)
No substitute for SF2:NA, I know, but Merry Christmas everybody ;-)
This will likely be the final version of this terrain. But, if anybody spots any show-stopping bugs, please drop me a line at Combatace and I'll try to sort them out.
Slainthe!

***********************************
Thanks to:-
Gepard for his terrain tutorials, which started this adventure off all those years ago. Also for his WoE European style runways which are included here.
JSFAggie for his Highway runway Mod, which has been altered and modded for use as glacier-based FARPs.
Brain32 for sound advice on creating terrain tiles. Cheers mate;-) Your hi-res lava tile has not been used here, but may see the light of day if I ever manage a hi-res set for this little terrain.
CA_Stary for being terrain guru extraordinaire. Also, thanks to Stary for his Heavy Snowfall mod for WoX series. I have included this for Iceland terrain and updated it for SF2 shaders, so you will get near-whiteout blizzard conditions for inclement weather setting. Happy flying ;-)
Thanks also to Brain32 and CA_Stary for their forest tiles and trees, which I have adapted for use as Iceland's sparse forests. Cheers guys ;-)
GrimViper, for pointing out that Iceland does actually have trees and forests. . . Cheers mate, hope you like it ;-)
Wrench, Dave & all the gang at CA for invaluable advice on how to make things work, garnered over the years and hopefully put to good effect here.
MajorLee, Deuces, Edward and anyone else who made a terrain mod and posted about how to do it. Thanks!
TK for making the whole bag of bolts hang together.
***********************************
Installation instructions:-
Delete your old "ICELAND02" folder. This version is a complete replacement for any previous version.
Unzip the package to your desktop, or wherever is convenient.
Drop the "ICELAND02" folder into your Username\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2\Terrains folder.
If there is no terrains folder in your mod folder, create one and drop the ICELAND02 folder into it.
Drop the "Effects" folder into your Username\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2\ folder.
That's it! Go fly, and fight for the liberation of Iceland.
This terrain has been completed using SF2 November 2011 patch. It is not supported on WoX series or earlier patch levels. But, if you really must try, use the files included in the "Use_in_WoX" folder for SF1 series. Your mileage may vary.
If you use a custom environmental mod, bear in mind that any changes must be made to the ICELAND02_ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI file included here. Just make sure your new file includes the following line:-
InclementEffect=BlizzardEffect
Or else, you will lose the snowfall weather conditions. It is set up this way so as not to interfere with any other environmental mod you may use.

North Cape Terrain (Beta+) for SF2 by Baltika
By Wrench
North Cape terrain (Beta+) by Baltika for SF2
A slight revamp of the 1stGen Beta terrain, with all new tga tiles for the sea and sea/land transition tiles (aka: "Working Water"). Consider this perhaps as a kinda sorta Ver. 0.8
As with the original release, the targeting is not finished, but at least now the water will work. The data ini has been brought up to the latest standards (as of Aug 2011). I did do some cleanup on the targets ini, but nothing major.
I figured with all the Swedish aircraft now available, this would be a fun sandbox (ok, snowbox) for them to play in. Eventually, I'm sure somebody will get around to finishing it!
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.
Have fun!

This terrain features a completely new Iceland map, scaled up to full size and with a completely new tileset. All mission types are flyable for Red and Blue force. It has taken a number of years and several false starts to get to this point.

Cuba (OTC Plus) Terrain
By Wrench
Cuba "OTC Plus" Terrain for SF2
This is a complete rebuild of the 'Operation Tainted Cigar' terrain, that originally represented the time frame of the Cuban Missile Crisis. While revamped with that in mind, everyone knows that I don't build terrains that can only be used for 14 Days. This terrain has been EXTENSIVELY expanded, and has operation years spanning from 1959 (the year of the Cuban Revolution), to the Present Day and Beyond, ie: 1959-2050.
This is a complete terrain, with many new/revamped/replaced/whatever tiles, and includes Stary's Enhanced Cuba pakage (meaning: LOTS of custom-made tiles and TODs). The entire map was gone over completly, moving/removing and adding dozens of new target areas and correcting errors from the original release. Unfortunately, I was not able to generate new planning maps, as for some reason SFMap kept crapping out on this terrain (volenteers, anyone??) My apologies for getting 'stuck with' the old ones.
The targets, types, and movements ini have been expanded to be as historicaly and geophysically accurate as (much as is, with this terrain engine) possible. See "Notes" for more on this. The data ini uses the latest (June 2011) structure. The Limited Nations statement is set to TRUE, reducing the players to those regionally historical.
So as not to conflict with any other Cuba terrain, this is called "Cuba (OTC+)" -this is how it will appear in your dropdown menu. The folder itself is called "CubaOTC". However, this terrain does NOT include the southern US (north of Orlando), Central or South America. Other than that, I think you'll find it enjoyable (no, DisneyWorld/EPCOT is NOT on the map, sorry)
A large number of Ground Objects are included; some you may already have, some are new or revamped versions. Userlists have also been genrated for these, where the user(s) was known and/or discoverable. This also explains the LARGE size of the download - sorry, it's the one way I know that makes sure you have damn near everything necessary to run. Aircraft and skins are NOT included. With luck, I've remembered to add the items necessary; pleas make sure you have the needed artillery pieces. (both sides, although a new one is included)
The map is 'time sensitive', with respect to the October Crisis; the IRBM batteries will turn on and off for that time frame. SAM sites are accurately placed, and for the most part remain active for the full duration up to Modern/Post-Modern Times.
*Shameless Plug: several country & era-specific aircraft/aircraft skins are available in the CA SF2 downloads section*
For those wishing to use this terrain on the old OTC campaign -DON'T. It will not work. A new campaign is under construction.
As expected, there are several Easter Eggs -- you'll find them if you look hard enough. (Hint: one's in the Bahama's)
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, or be placed in their Real Life locations. Several cities and other physical features may also fall into that classification.
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 the document through after unzipping before installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. Please also read the standard disclaimer, as it's been changed slightly.
Good Hunting!

Formosa Upgrade 2: Airfields Fixes & Other Small Tweeks
By Wrench
Formosa Terrain Update -- Parked Aircraft Fixes (and some other stuff)
Yet more updating of the Formosa terrain, that adds game-generated parked aircraft to Gepard's NATO/WarPac style airbases that are used. Also included are some modified inis that create the LimitedNations (from my recently released pack), some additons to the _Types ini, some targeting tweeks, a 'generic' PLAN Destroyer, modified GermanyCE airbase inis, with increaed parking chances, and a few other little things here and there. You'll have to fly around to find them.
Designed for use with Stary's new terrain tiles, you should have his upgrade installed before adding this one. Although there is very little possibility of conflicts (as this was built with his new stuff in my terrain), it never hurts to be safe, huh??
Speaking of ground objects, you'll find as mentioned, a stand-in PLAN destroyer, inis for Grinch's Fletcher with a new UserList (these were in the Libya 3.75 upgrade, but some folks may not have installed them), AND... a working Silkworm launcher and Styx missile.
While designed for SF2 usage, all the inis are in ANSI, and can easily be used on 1st Gen SF/Wo* versions. However, the Styx missils IS set up for SF2 only. Those knowledgable with weapons editing can easily down-convert to 08 1st Gen levels.
As always, READ the enclosed document for full install instructions.

Libya - Ver 3.75
By Wrench
Lybia Terrain; Updates, Fixes and Clean-Up For SF2 Series (& SF/Wo*, too!)
What started out as a simple, quick "Limited Nations" fix, turned into a semi-major overhaul. This includes some retiling, and some fairly major targeting fixes. It has NOT been completly rebuilt; there might still be a few cities in Libya that might need re-working, but I just didn't want to futz around with them. Also, several of the NATO side targets have been vastly improved upon and expanded. Since I totally lost track of WHAT I added, I've chosen to re-release this as a FULL terrain. It is designed to replace any and all other originals or mods, as everything has been incoporated to this version, plus some additiional stuff and thingys, including some GroundObject tweeks.
As stated above, this is the FULL terrain, with all internal objects needed. You simply need to unzip and install.
This terrain mod, while designed for SF2 merged installs, is easily back-dated for use in all 1st Gen SF/SFG/Wo* game installs at the 08 Patch Level. You'll just need to change the shader statments; instructions are below. Information on the GroundObjects are in the "Notes" section.
Also added are several new tiles, updating of some other tiles (to make them fit and look better), and LOTS of custom TODs for buildings and trees and such. For those that expect them, the 'Easter Eggs' on this terrian a the same as before, with the addition of a new billboard or 2.....
It is also reccomened you have the Pasko's Ground Objects, Kesselbrut's Vehicles Pak, Fast Cargo's SA-5s; in short any and all add-on SAMs, AAA, vehicles, ships, and whatnot from any and all other terrain mods. They are NOT all included. See "Notes" below for information about Stock & 3rd Party Ships. However, some modified data inis for stock and 3rd party AAA units are included, as they are now networked to a search/track/fire control radar.
Be advised, however, of the use of the "LimitedNations=TRUE" statement, thereby limiting WHO gets to play in this sandbox.
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 WILL clown on you.
Good Hunting!

SF2 Series Range
By JSF_Aggie
*******************************************************************************
********* Bombing Range For SF2 ********
*******************************************************************************
This is an update to the original bombing range to make it compatible with the
SF2 series, and take advantage of some of the new features now available. It
also has terrain tiles redrawn at 1024x1024.
A QF-100D drone is included in this download. You'll see these flying around
the range, and parked at the simulated airfield. All weapons have been
removed, so they won't shoot at you.
Only hostile aircraft with a "NationName=RANGE" will show up on this terrain.
A modified version of the NATIONS.INI file has been included. It is the stock
file with the "RANGE" nation added. You need the "RANGE" nation defined if you
want the QF-100D's showing up.
Provided your other terrains have their "LimitedNations" setup, you won't see
the QF-100's anywhere except the Range.
A quick note, for the most part, this is still the original target layout.
Wrench and others have created target laydowns with a much wider array of
targets. These changes can be easily merged with this update.
Feel free to further modify this, but don't sell it, and please include the
credit list below.
*******************************************************************************
********* Installation ********
*******************************************************************************

Phillipines Islands 1944, WW2 PTO Terrain for SF2
By Wrench
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.

Desert Target Zone - SF2
By baffmeister
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!

Desert Plus
By baffmeister
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.

East Africa/Madagascar Terrain, Version 2.0 for SF/Wo* and SF2
By Dave
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.....

DBS Limited Nations Tweek
By Wrench
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 Tweek
By Wrench
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.
Good Hunting!
