  1. SF2 Mescalero Proving Grounds Part 5

    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.
     
    QF-86F Sabre: Former JASDF from line fighter built under license in Japan by Mitsubishi. Sent to USA apon retirement and converted to target drones by private contractor.
    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.

  2. Faroe Islands terrain

    Faroe islands 1.0
    *****************************************************
    This terrain is written for SF2NA.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I. Short description:
    North of Scotland you will find small groups of islands, the Shetlands and the Faroe. They are nothing more than tiny rocks, surrounded by the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. On the first view completly unimportant rocks somewhere in the nowhere. But a second view shows high economical values. The islands sitting in the middle of rich fishing grounds, and then, even more, there is oil. North Sea oil.
    But not enough. A powerfull nation, that is able to install a base at the Faroe, rules all the waters between Iceland and the british islands. A hostile nation might be even able to raise a blockade over Great Britain.
    This makes some scenarios possible:
    First the classical what if the Soviets would had captured the Faroe and the US Navy starts an attempt to push them out.
    Second, what if America sends the Marines?
    Third, what if Britain tries to defeat the Soviets with own power?
    Forth, what if Hitler-Germany would have captured the Faroe?
    Fifth, what if the EU raise a blockade over a Brexit UK?
    Sixth, what if Britain was bought by President Trump instead Greenland and John Bull stand up to fight fort the british independence?
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    II. INSTALLATION:
    To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic.

    Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic /terrain folder.

    Thats it.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    III. Modifications
    Faroe islands terrain is made so, that you can play it out of the box. You will find a classic Cold war scenario US Navy vs Soviet forces.
    Other possible scenarios are prepared.
    Open the folder Goodies and you will find the folder Nation ini
    In this folder you find 6 subfolders, one for each scenarios i have descriped above.
    Choose the one you like.
    In this subfolders you find the file FAEROER_NATION.ini.
    Copy this file to the Faeroer folder and let overwrite the existing file and enjoy the other scenario. (BTW personaly i prefer Brexit scenario. Flying Hunters vs Hunters is really fun.)
     
    Faroe islands terrain is made so, that you has 2 fixed carrer stations. For the red side a station north of the Shetlands. For the blue side south of the Faroes.
    If you want to have multible carrier stations, than you must open the Subfolder "multible carrier stations" and copy the file FAROE_WATER.bmp to the Faroe folder.

    When i started to make Faroe islands terrain i used TOD files made by M.Broers for the IcelandNA HFD terrain. Later i found out, that on the Faroes no trees exist. So i decided to remove the TOD files. If you want trees and TOD buildings, the copy the tod files in the Faroe folder. But be aware, there are not all tiles fitted with tods. It looks a little bit strange.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    IV. Credits.
    The basic Tileset i took from M.Breors terrain IcelandNA HFD.
    The basic files for the emergency runways, parking areas and quais are made by ErikGen.
    The OilRig was made by RussoUK for my PersianGulf terrain.
    I hope i have not forgotten someone.
    .
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    V. This Terrain is Freeware. Commercial use is not allowed.
    And i say it again for the YAP, YankeeAirPirates file thiefs, the use of this terrain and parts of  the terrain for commercial use is not allowed.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    VI.
    For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM.
    Hope you enjoy it.

  5. Italy, Southern Europe (1963-1991)

    Italy, Southern Europe (1963-1991) Terrain
    September 13th, 2022 (1st Release)
    by Menrva and tiopilotos

    >For Strike Fighters 2, Recommended Full-5 Merged
    I am very proud to release a long awaited, brand new terrain made from scratch! The result of many years of dedication and sweat starting in 2017, it features thousands of manually placed tiles reproducing Real World river courses and lakes, not to mention tons of cities all accurately placed in their correct locations. This terrain portrays a pretty complex area, no wonder it never got made properly in two decades of Strike Fighters modding. It is my hope you realize the amount of time and hard effort that I have put to reproduce it with much care and detail.
    The terrain completely covers Italy (with the exception of Sicily, which is included in my Libya terrain), Yugoslavia, Albania, Corsica (France), Liechtenstein and nice portions of Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Greece and even a bit of Romania. The tileset, based on one of Stary's GermanyCE tilesets, has been recoloured and expanded with needed transition tiles and features beautiful, unique tiles by tiopilotos which reproduce real islands. Expect long and very accurate river courses, all major and some minor lakes, and tons of islands in the Adriatic Sea. Numerous target areas have been added in order to expand playability, targets of opportunity and year range; those include more than 140 airports, more than 100 SAM sites and more than 70 EW-GCI sites, all placed accurately in their correct locations as shown by well-made SAM site datasets for Google Earth.
    This terrain features a fresh new 250m resolution heightmap (instead of the stock 500m resolution), allowing for greater details and precision in elevation changes; overall it provides the whole terrain with a better look.
    The terrain spans from April 7, 1963 (the day the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was introduced) to June 24, 1991 (the day before Slovenia and Croatia declared independence). This terrain is adapt for Cold War scenarios pitting NATO forces against the combined Red Side forces of Yugoslavia, Albania, Hungary and Romania. Airfields in Austria and Switzerland have been set to Neutral, so the AI and the player will never spawn on those by default.
    Targets reflect Real World events as accurately as possible. Having SF2NA is a must, as I have enabled naval ops; if your mod folder contains American, French and Italian aircraft carriers, sometimes you'll see fleets being generated in single missions.
    NOTE: The terrain is not fully finished. It currently misses targets for cities, such as bridges, warehouses, factories etc. If time will allow, maybe someday it will be completed properly.

    >Credits (in no particular order):
    -tiopilotos, for working on very well done island tiles which offer more unique sights in the Adriatic Sea.
    -swambast, who provided me with invaluable help in tracking and fixing common and uncommon bugs.
    -gerwin, whose TFDtool has proved to be essential in today's terrain making. If the terrain is pretty accurate to RL it's also because of him. I included his very nice Airfield 7+8 Addon Pack, too.
    -mue, for the improved shaders he made, which I have included and reworked for the terrain, and for the tools he made for SF2 modding.
    -JSF_Aggie, for his Hi-Res Runway Textures package which I have included and slightly reworked.
    -Coupi, for his Soviet style repaint of the stock Runway3 airfield.
    -luk1978, for the waternormal bitmap he shared at the SF2 screenshots thread. Your mods are very interesting!
    -Stary, for an old version of his GermanyCE tileset included in the Anatolia v1 terrain by PureBlue.
    -Gepard, for his great tutorials about terrain making, in the SF1 Knowledge Base at CombatACE. It's a gold mine!
    -krfrge, who has produced a tutorial for recreating SF2-like planning maps, which prompted me to work on templates and my own high quality planning maps. Thank you very much!
    -comrpnt, for his Approach and Airfield Lighting Pack mod packages for SF1 series, which I reworked and included.

    >Trivia:
    Some statistics of the amount of work that went into it, gathered thanks to gerwin's TFDtool. I placed manually one by one: more than 8600 rivers tiles, more than 1100 road tiles, more than 2000 city related tiles! This is just the tip of the iceberg, not counting other thousands of tiles that have been placed manually on the tilemap to better reproduce coastlines, islands and lakes, and not counting the endless hours of research since 2017 into adding all possible airports with much accuracy.

    >Disclaimer:
    This is a freeware; you are NOT allowed to redistribute it without my prior explicit consent.
    Any changes to the terrain package's files and/or any copy-and-paste attempts of their contents are NOT authorized if you plan to release them in other mods. But permission might be granted to those who request it to me at CombatACE.
    This terrain may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

  6. SF2 WW2 ETO Targets Fixit

    Targets Fix-It for WW2 ETO Terrain (aka: EAW Euro)
     
    I recently discovered a few airfields that had 'snuck under the contractors radar', and needed a face lift. These are a few that, somehow, I missed upgrading. Given the scope and size of the terrain; it was to be expected. Also fixed the facing of a few items that goin the wrong way!
    This is what happens when you go with the lowest bidder....
     
    Install instructions:
     
    unzip the EuroWW2_Targets.ini.zip to whereever you want, and just drop it into the EuroWW2 terrain folder. Allow the overwrite.
     
    Enjoy!

  7. SF2 WW2 Central Pacific Terrain Fix-It Pak

    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!

    This is a fix for the unflattened sections of Aslito airfield, Saipan. This package

    Be advised, the above listed/linked terrain is the SF/Wo* version (1stGen). I've
    included my SF2 updated data ini, so you all won't be needing to make the SF2 shader
    tweeks (if you don't have it updated to SF2 as yet).
     
    ------------------
    To use:
     
    Simply unzip to a temp folder or you desktop. Then copy/paste the included /Terrains
    folder DIRECTLY over the existing one in you PTO-centric mods folder.
    Allow the overwrite
     
    That's it!

  9. Battle of Britain 2 Terrain Operation Seelöwe

    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/
    Do-17P by Veltro2k       https://combatace.com/files/file/15196-dornier-do-17p/
    Spitfire Mk.1 by TMF   https://combatace.com/files/file/13510-sf2-ww2-spitfire-mk1a-by-mod-mafiatmf/
    Hurricane IA by Raven   https://combatace.com/files/file/13646-sf2-ww2-hawker-hurricane-ia-etobob-by-raven/
    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/
     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  10. SF2 The Forest Bowl Terrain, V.2

    SF2 Forest Bowl Terrain, V.2                4/5/2020
    - For SF2, Any & All (Full-4/5 Merged, + Expansion Packs Reccomended)
    This is a (mostly) complete revamp of "The Forest Bowl" terrain that was included in the (uncompleted) SF2 Civil/Firefighter Mod. It has been completely retargeted to make it a useful 'combat' terrain. All new movement inis, targets, types, etc. Also, now all 4 seasons are working. This terrain takes place in the fictional world of the Alliance vs the Global Sedition. The map is fully functional for ALL mission types with year spans from the 1940s through the far future (well, at least 2050) ie: There are NO mission type or time limitations.
    Many and Lots (tm) of new terrain objects have been added, all cities are now valid targets. Shipping, Ground Attack and Armed Recon missions have a good number of routes for both sides to utlize. As is my habit, the terrain is covered with Easter Eggs; you shouldn't have any problems finding them. In short, the terrain is a myth-mash.
    You may experience longer than normal loading times due to the number of terrain objects and seasonal tiles. 
    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- the document through after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing.
     
    As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading.
    Good Hunting!

    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!!

  12. Ethiopia, African Horn (1993-2028)

    Ethiopia, African Horn (1993-2028) Terrain
    December 13th, 2021 (1st Release)
    by Menrva

    >For Strike Fighters 2, Recommended Full-5 Merged
    I am proud to present a brand new terrain made from scratch! Initially proposed in private by tiopilotos, I later decided to create it in order to offer an accurate playground for different conflicts never recreated in Strike Fighters.
    The terrain completely covers Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti, and a great portion of Somalia and Yemen. The tileset, based on JSF_Aggie's Desert repaint and Centurion-1's Desert 4 add-on, has been greatly expanded with necessary transition tiles. Expect long and very accurate river courses and all major lakes, the reddish deserts of the Horn of Africa and the green highlands of Ethiopia. Numerous target areas, such as civilian airports and airstrips, have been added in order to expand playability, targets of opportunity and year range.
    This terrain features a fresh new 250m resolution heightmap (instead of the stock 500m resolution), allowing for greater details and precision in elevation changes; overall it provides the whole terrain with a better look.
    The terrain spans from April 27, 1993 (the day Eritrea declared independence from Ethiopia) to December 31, 2028. This terrain is adapt for historical scenarios such as the Eritrean–Ethiopian War and for territorial disputes between Eritrea, Yemen and Djibouti. Somaliland is still considered as Somalia since Somaliland is not officially recognized, though you can spot the Somaliland flag over some of its cities.
    Targets reflect Real World events as accurately as possible; for instance, some airfields will appear at a given date, cities change their name at a specific year and so on, all according to Real World changes. Off Map Airbases have been added and long range AI flights can be generated from them. Having SF2NA is a must, as I have enabled naval ops; if your mod folder contains American, British and French aircraft carriers, sometimes you'll see fleets being generated in single missions.
    Ground Objects are not included. You can obtain the most needed ones from Wrench's old Eritrea/Ethiopia terrain release.

    >Credits (in no particular order):
    -Wrench, for working on Wingwiner's original Eritrea terrain, producing new target area layouts.
    -swambast, who provided me with invaluable help in tracking and fixing common and uncommon bugs.
    -gerwin, whose TFDtool has proved to be essential in today's terrain making. If the terrain is pretty accurate to RL it's also because of him. I included his very nice Airfield 7+8 Addon Pack, too.
    -mue, for the improved shaders he made, which I have included and reworked for the terrain, and for the tools he made for SF2 modding.
    -luk1978, for the waternormal bitmap he shared at the SF2 screenshots thread. Your mods are very interesting!
    -JSF_Aggie, for his great Hi-Res Runway Textures v2.0 which I included, and for the hi-res desert tileset.
    -Centurion-1, for expanding JSF_Aggie's tileset with more variety for the Desert4 terrain by Piecemeal.
    -tiopilotos, for his continuous support in all my terrain modding efforts. Thank you very much!
    -Stary, for old .TOD files which add trees and buildings on some tiles of this terrain.
    -Gepard, for his great tutorials about terrain making, in the SF1 Knowledge Base at CombatACE. It's a gold mine!
    -krfrge, who has produced a tutorial for recreating SF2-like planning maps, which prompted me to work on templates and my own high quality planning maps. Thank you very much!
    -comrpnt, for his Approach and Airfield Lighting Pack mod packages for SF1 series, which I reworked and included.
    Although scratch-made, the terrain makes use of most objects and target layouts from Wrench's Eritrea terrain; because of this, I included the ReadMe file from that package, to the end of giving proper credit to everyone involved directly or not.

    >Disclaimer:
    This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages.
    Any changes to the terrain package's files and/or any copy-and-paste attempts of their contents are NOT authorized if you plan to release them in other mods. But permission might be granted to those who request it to me at CombatACE.
    This terrain may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

  13. SF2NA WW2 Phillipines Islands (1944) Terrain Update

    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!

  14. WW2 Palestine 2 Terrain (Full Scale) for SF2

    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.
     
    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.
     
    Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!

  15. Socotra terrain

    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
    save the file

  16. DBS Limited Nations Tweek


    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!!
     
    Good Hunting!

  17. Ethiopia, African Horn (1977-1990)

    Ethiopia, African Horn (1977-1990) Terrain
    December 13th, 2021 (1st Release)
    by Menrva

  18. Outer Space Terrains

    Outer Space Terrains
    July 13th, 2021 (1st Release)
    by Menrva and nuni

    >For Strike Fighters 2, Recommended Full-5 Merged
    This package was born out of fun while working on the realSKY Environment enhancement mod. It features two experimental terrains, Moon and Mars, each with own environment data files which allow different gravity acceleration values and custom skies. Due to various hardcoded factors of the stock game, the Moon terrain shows contrail effects at very high altitude like any other terrain, as well as overcast/inclement weather layers which cannot be disabled in any way; enjoy these custom environments by taking such and other game engine limitations into account. It is suggested to install the realSKY Environment mod, since the custom environment data references extra details from that package.
    Both terrains feature fresh new 250m resolution heightmaps (instead of the stock 500m resolution), allowing for greater details and precision in elevation changes; overall they provide each terrain with a better look. Given that these are extraterrestrial terrains, different types of source data had to be used in their creation; for this and other limitations, altitudes of geographical features are inaccurate.
    The Moon terrain spans from 2040 to 2070, while Mars is available from 2060 to 2090; both are designed for fictional clashes between Red forces (Russian Space Forces and People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force) and Blue forces (United States Space Force and French Space Force). Both terrains contain only two bases, one for Friendly forces and one for Enemy forces, fully populated with custom objects created by nuni. Few target areas have been added so that users can easily discover features such as craters, plateaus and valleys. At this stage, only the Recon mission type is available, so just have fun by flying over these barren terrains. Off Map bases have been added to both terrains and long range AI flights could be generated from them.
    An Orion MPCV created by nuni in three different variants has been added as a flyable aircraft as well as a terrain object in points of interest. In addition, custom skins have been created for it so that all AI-only space forces spawn with at least one terrain-specific aircraft; I would have liked to include other feasible and realistic spacecraft, but none are available at this stage. If you wish to contribute to this end, just contact me. The idea is to create plausible space warfare and exploration scenarios, so alien and sci-fi stuff should not be involved. Of course, you're free to alter the original scenario for your own personal use.

    >Credits (in no particular order):
    -nuni, for creating the Orion MPCV and all featured space terrain objects.
    -gerwin, whose TFDtool has proved to be essential in today's terrain making.
    -mue, for the improved shaders he made and for the tools he made for SF2 modding.

  19. WW2 IsraelME Terrain for SF2

    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.

    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!

  20. SF2 Formosa Straits Terrain Revamp (v.2) by Gepard

    SF2 Formosa Straits Terrain Revamp (v.2) by Gepard                           10/15/23
    *Full 5 Merged Installs Recommended*            
    This terrain mod is designed to REPLACE any and all eariler versions. It also includes any previous updates from long past years. It is designed for use with the SF2-NA environment
    While the tiling has not been touched, (almost) all the target areas have been revamped, rebuilt or replaced. Several new regions have been added, and many of the other inis have been upgraded (See Notes for more changes). Several items (Ground Objects & Weapons) are supplied; in the Notes section is a list of other items you'll probably want to obtain. Be advised, you will experience longer than usual loading times, due to the weight of objects on the terrain. And yes, you can expect a plethora of 'hidden in the open' Easter Eggs. After all, it's my trademark!! (tm)
    As always, PLEASE read the install instructions, and the accompaning Notes and Other Nonsense for more details on other needed items. As is reccommended, unzip to an easy to find location, so you can access the readme for it's full instructions. Gepard's original readme is also included, for historical purposes.
    Good Hunting!

  21. WW2 Allied Bombing Range - Final-

    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!

  22. Crash fix for Kamchatka 250m version with adjusted tileset

    This is a bug fix for the random crashing issue of the Kamchatka 250m tile set update released by Stary in below link
    Kamchatka 250m version with adjusted tileset etc - Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements - CombatACE
     
    If you are using the original Kamchatka 2.0 terrain released by Baltika, this is not applicable and you should avoid using it.
     
     
    Beautiful landscape tile. However it crashes randomly when flying in certain area or dropping bombs to airfields. The key issue is some incorrect file assignment in DATA.ini and how SF2 handles files in different season folders.
    It took me a long time to figure out. Hopefully this can help you as well. 
     
    Installation:
    1. Before everything, backup your KAMCHATKA_DATA.INI in your terrains folder. In case this breaks something else you have modded.
    2. Extract the file contents and overwrite file if asked to terrains/KAMCHATKA folder

  23. North Cape Hotfix Correction Pak

    HotFix for North Cape Terrain
     
    Due to a senior moment, I forgot to create and add the _water.bmp the SF2 mission builder needs.
     
    Here it is, with the necessary pointer line added to the main ini (NorthCape.ini)
     
    Also, is a modified ini for the Pit1 object, that will remove the offending tractorbeam shadows that I just discovered!
     
    have fun!
