512X512 tiles for Rends Germany
By Icarus999
This is a simple 512X512 tile resize of Rends /Stary's 1024X1024 Germany tile set.
All artistic credit goes to Rends and Stary for creating these beautiful tiles,I simply resized them.
These are tiles only... you will need rends full terrain to make this conversion work correctly.
If you do not already have it -get the original terrain here: http://combatace.com/topic/82151-germany-terrain-rework-part-1-of-3/
Install the full terrain as per instructions in the original readme.
Back up your original GermanyCE folder in case you do not like this mod and want to go back to 1024.
The GermanyCE folder should be located here: Saved games/ ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2 Europe/Terrains/GermanyCE
Unpack this mod to your desktop
Copy the contents of each( season folder) to its corresponding folder i.e.- Spring to Spring / Summer to Summer.
Purpose of this mod?
My SF2 settings are set to maximize Eye candy, and immersion at the expense of frames per second. I run detail mesh settings at 16 to 24 and in some patch levels I run increased horizon draw distances of up to 200000.0----- I have struck a careful balance that keeps my frame rates just in the playable range. Rends awesome, highly detailed Germany pushed the frame rates into the unplayable range with these settings, so I undertook some experimentation to increase fps.
Thru tightening my RAM speed settings and using these resized tiles I have seen a small improvement that puts the FPS back into the playable range. However takeoffs at certain airbases can still be a bit choppy.
I believe that RAM speed is very important with this terrain and its high object density.
These resized tiles may be of benefit to those who have older computers, or those who run high detail mesh sizes.

AI Remastered - NovaLogic Terrains Tilesets
By orsin
This is an AI remastered tileset for the great NovaLogic Terrains released by Menrva.
This is tilesets only. You will need the full terrain from here to get it working.
NovaLogic Terrains - Full Terrains - CombatACE
AI zoom tool based on Realesrgan was used in the tileset with GPU computing to reproduce 512 x 512 tilesets with richer details from the original 128 x 128 tilesets. Due to limitation of the AI algorithm, there are still part of terrain remain blured. So the tilesets are all reduced to 256 x 256 to produce a more consistent feel.
We have noticed some other AI anti-blur algorithm can produce better results on the new 512 x 512 tile set and may include that in the future release.
----------------------------/Installation/----------------------------------
0. You must have the NovaLogic Terrains from Menrva. This is a tileset only. Download and install from the link provided above.
1. Backup is a must. this mod will overwrite your existing Novalogic terrain tilesets. Just in case you are not happy with the outcome;
2. extract the Terrains folder under your SF2 mod folder and overwrite the files (about 2950 files)
Enjoy!

Alternate Tile For Operation Desert Storm Terrain
By JSF_Aggie
These are alternate tiles made from satellite images for the DS terrain
included in the latest version of ODS for SF2. They are 1024x1024.
They can be used in other terrains that use the stock desert tiles,
however I did not make all tiles from the stock SF2 desert tile set, only
those used in the DS terrain. For example, I did not create the river
tiles.

Baltic region HR tileset
By Stary
Baltic region HR tileset v1.0
for SF2 March 2012 patch-level
April 1st 2012
optional tiles, ground TOD objects for "The Scandinavian Front MOD" by JonathanRL or stand-alone Sweden map by gillg
Hats off to both of you for your efforts guys!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GAMEPLAY NOTE: Due to large amount of ground objects per tile (around 800-1100+ per single tile)
it's highly recommended to use ObjectsFade=TRUE statement in options.ini to increase ingame framerates
Also, due to my crappy slow internet connection, I removed from the initial upload two seasons (thaw and light snow) which eventually will be uploaded later
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod assumes one has at least installed and tested Sweden map by gillg, more preferably stand-alone TSF mod folder with one of JonathanRL&Team's Scandinavian mods, which includes the Sweden map in them too.
Installation:
To install unpack this archive and copy or move the content of Baltic Tileset to your Terrains folder, overwrite when asked.
!!!Be warned, due to 1024x1024 textures and large TOD files, the map takes some time to load at first run!!!

Battle of Britain terrain visual update (preview)
By Stary
Gepard's "Battle of Britain" and "Battle of Britain in the 60s and the 70s" terrains visual update.
version 0.9 preview: 24 of April, 2013
NOTE: For modern computers with at least 768 MB (1 GB+ preferable) of video memory.
This is new set of hand-drawn 2048x2048 tiles and associated .TOD objects for Gepard's "Battle of Britain 1.4" (and it's
modernized version) terrain.
You can download these great maps here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/5203-battle-of-britain-terrain-version-14/
http://combatace.com/files/file/10371-battle-of-britain-terrain-for-the-60th-and-70th/
Right now it's sort of preview, with only summer set included (more below) as the size of the tiles makes it very big
upload.
Tweaked longer-range fading trees .fx shader included, best to play with ObjectsFade=FALSE and DetailMeshSize=8 or more
(user's system depending, included screenshots taken with DetailMeshSize=10) however I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your system by setting too high values and frying your GPU.
New waternormal.bmp for your kinky Channel-crossing (Cross-chanelling?) pleasures included.
To install follow your instincts. Modified ini files for the "60s and 70s" version of the terrain included.
Also I have included the core ini files made to generate in Terrain Editor the .TOD objects, experiment at your own risk (yet better don't!)
Knows bugs/issues:
As stated above, just summer set at the moment, more might follow.Given the engine limitations and the way the map was
created, not that accurate from farmer's point of view (english landscape differs from french one IRL) and I generously gave myself
full artistic license to improvise things (read: make them up) as I went with the project.
No buildings in cities, as I refuse to kill the immersion of this terrain modification with stone-age tech box-type TOD objects. Blame
Thirdwire for doing zip about it throught all these years.
"Fair Use" CombatAce license apply. NOT to be included in (or reused for) any kind of payware addon/product without my
authorization. You can tweak/modify and re-upload this set just give me credits as the original author. BoB map created by Gepard.
Have fun!

Desert 4 Mountain Regions+ Addon
By Centurion-1
DESERT 4 Mountain Regions+ Addon by Centurion and Piecemeal
Requires Piecemeals Desert 4 Terrain available here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/14551-desert-terrain-v4/
DESCRIPTION
This addon is for Piecemeals excellent Desert Terrain V.4 and adds more diversity to the mountain regions by adding several new tileset types. In addition to this, Piecemeal has modified all the city regions to be more diverse and less "square" and also changed movement routes and such. Overall, this makes the region more interesting to fly over.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This patch updates the airfield names from the generic D1, D2 and so on to be specific place names. This will break you campaign files!!! Changing them to fix it is a simple matter of find-and-replace-all in notepad, however. Saved files will not work any more.
KNOWN ISSUES
Two airfields in the mountain regions have flattening issues that I have not been able to correct, if anyone could help us fix that would be great. AI Planes are bit bouncy there but the airbases are fully usable, it is mostly a visual issue.
CREDITS:
Piecemeal for the excellent V.4 terrain and the city tiling work + data tweaks.
TK for SF2 and the whole Dhimar/Paran scenario.
Stary and JSF Aggie for the tiles used here.
Centurion for doing the cut/paste operations required to bring this together. Minor tile tweaks.
INSTALLATION
Unzip the whole folder into your Terrains/Desert4 folder.

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

Enhanced SF2: Israel Terrain by CA_Stary
By Dave
SF2:Israel terrain update
v 1.00 initial release
may 8th, 2010
by Stary
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification contains full tileset of new satellite-based 1024x1024 textures, together with optional treemod and experimental (buggy engine?) heightmaps created to enhance the look of the default SF2:Israel terrain, IsraelME.
Designed for SF2:Israel by Thirdwire, either stand-alone or merged installation.
Made for and tested in SF2 merged, Nov. 2009-B and March 2010 patches.
"Wings Over Israel" compatibility not granted, but highly possible.
Remember, it's initial release, updates are highly possible in the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CREDITS:
TK and Thirdwire. Please, make new terrain engine quickly ;)
Gepard and his famous Suez 2 map for the idea of using heightmap files for extra mesh detail in mountains.
Brain32 -learned a lot from your textures work! Still, much to learn.

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

Gepard's Formosa Strait visual update
By Stary
This mod is full two-seasons (wet, dry) tileset and treemod created for Gepard's "Formosa Strait" terrain.
You need Gepard's Formosa terrain available here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/6723-formosa-strait-terrain-version-10
The tiles are 512x512 resolution to maintain good performance on older systems, but as they were downsampled from their 1024x1024 originals, maintain good quality.
This mod includes it's own, smoother terrain height data, but original rough version is also provided as an option.
Also includes new TFD file, which introduces "large empty fields" in western Taiwan.
Both smaller and bigger trees included, the latter as default for rich lush ground cover.
Includes optional tweak for experimental clear day fog.

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

GermanyCE V3 Winter Hard Tileset
By Julhelm
I liked Starys mod but thought the winter tilesets weren't wintery enough to my liking so I made my own set of hard winter tiles.
To use, just drop these into the GermanyCE folder and they should unpack to their own winterhard folder.
Then open up the GermanyCE.ini file and change
[season001]
Directory=Winter
StartDate=1/1
EndDate=03/15
ScatteredChance=0
BrokenChance=40
OvercastChance=50
InclementChance=10
to
[season001]
Directory=WinterHard
StartDate=1/1
EndDate=03/15
ScatteredChance=0
BrokenChance=40
OvercastChance=50
InclementChance=10
These are just textures btw so if you haven't already grabbed Starys GermanyCE v3 mod, do so now or these won't work at all.

Gerwin's Iceland 1024 tileset
By Stary
This is 1024x1024 optional tileset and treemod for Gerwin's "old format" IcelandNA terrain.
New waternormal included (still experimenting with those)
Stretching the reality a bit I decided to add some clusters of trees/bushes to most of non-snow tiles -this way it's not 100% accurate but gives us something happening down low.

This version replaces version 0.9 uploaded on 08.14.2012
Two generic "seasons" included, warm and cold, where cold one gives full snow cover.
By popular members request, optional darker water included in separate "oprional darker water" folder for both "seasons"; the default brighter water is more or less like in LOD-based NA terrain
New waternormals included, rough (default) and calm waters (the latter found in "optional calm water" folder)

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