About This File

***This is a replacement for the previous version 1.0***

 

This is a modification to the original bombing range to make the home base airfield a likeness of Nellis AFB and take advantage of some of the new Hi-Res Desert textures now available. It also includes some of the objects from the Mescalero Proving Grounds range made By ChampionsVA56.

Nellis AFB is located alot farther South on the map that the original base was. This should eliminate getting aggressor A/C right over Nellis as you take off.

 

A few drone and aggressor Aircraft are included in this download. You'll see these flying around the range, and parked at the Range Airfield. All weapons have been removed, or they are equiped with training missles

so they won't hurt you.

 

Only hostile aircraft with a "NationName=RANGE" or "AGRS" 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" and "AGRS" nations added. You need the "RANGE" nation defined if you want the drone's showing up and need the AGRS nation for the Aggressor A/C.

 

Provided your other terrains have their "LimitedNations" setup, you won't see the drones's or Aggressor A/C anywhere except the Range. A modified version of the SQUADRONLIST.INI is included with the USAF Thunderbirds squadron added.

 

The bombing range targets use the layout of the Mescalero Proving Grounds range and the drones and Aggressor A/C use its runway to launch and recover. Note: the target area that was known as the

Warehouse Targets is now Friendly and is a called the Range Control Facility. When you choose to do a Close Support mission, your tanks will be lined up defending it from the enemy tanks.

 

One thing that is a "feature" not a bug, is that you will have Friendly A/C spawning from Nellis, sometimes right when you are, as Escort or SEAD flights. You cannot collide with them and they will go right thru you as applicable.

 

Good Hunting!

Nice little area, I love the Thunderbirds hangar, -60 APU's, and MJ-4

bomb lift trucks, but the drive to the range is pretty stout.

 

600 mile round trip?

 

Aren't there any flat areas a few hundred miles closer?

 

Taking a `hog to the range would take all day!

 

The airfield is beautiful, well as beautiful as the Thirdwire terrain can

get, but the drive time is a killer.

 

A lot of work done here, good job!

It's a beautiful range and airbase!!

But I have one little problem. When I go with a plane on a SEAD mission the game crashes!

It happens ONLY at the Nellis range, no other map has that problem.

 

For the rest, it is a GREAT map!

 

My best regards, Kodiak.

Okay, now that I've check it out, only a few gripes.

 

A. Round trip as mentioned is a bit too long. I liked the old range where I could pop out and back real quick-like.

 

B. Minor, and I don't even know if you'll want to fix it, the radar at Nellis spins a little fast I think. The military ones might be different but ours is very similiar and it only goes round once every 6 seconds.
