Terrain Help Needed for FE

[Thumper41]

I originally posted this over in the First Eagles forum, but haven't had much luck so I thought I'd post it here, where some of the experienced terrain modders might see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firecage (and anyone else working on new terrrains), as I was installing this new terrain, I thought that terrains in FE should work the same as those in TK's other sims. So, I created a new folder called "wwiVerdun winter" and unzipped your terrain files to it. Then I copied the wwiVerdun.ini file to this folder and renamed it "wwiVerdun winter.ini". I opened this file and added the following line:

 

CatFile=..\wwiVerdun\wwiVerdun.cat

 

I placed this at the end of the [Terrain] section. This line points to the original Verdun terrain .cat file.

 

Now, when I open FE and set up a single mission, I have both the original and new winter terrains in the drop down terrain menu. However, when I select the winter terrain and try to fly a mission, FE crashes back to the desktop at about 80% loaded. I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track, just need to do a little more research. If we can get this resolved, it will be simple to have multiple terrains available for missions. Maybe someone here has experience with SFP1, WOV, and/or WOE terrains and can help out?
