In both the Germany, and Vietnam terrains the water in both the ocean, and rivers flashes non stop. The Ocean flashes dark square shapes, and the rivers flash white everywhere. Is this a terrain.data issue? Any suggestions?

Dave, you might want to add the following to that fix in the KB

 

open the terrainxxx_data.ini and check these lines

 

[TerrainMesh]

TextureThreshold=0.80

LowDetailMeshThreshold=0.50

MedDetailMeshThreshold=0.30

TileToHeightGridRatio=4

RenderMeshVertexCount=4096

RenderMeshIndexCount=6144

SolidObjectVertexCount=4096

SolidObjectIndexCount=6144

AlphaObjectVertexCount=2048 <============= change to 4096

AlphaObjectIndexCount=3072 <============= change to 6144

 

I've noticed this in a number of the terrains, and changeing those numbers in conjunction with the [HeightOffest] entries fixed the flashing shapes in my install, but neither method alone did the trick. I explained my theory in the Iceland2015 thread as to why it might be happening.

I was comparing all four official terrain datafiles yesterday, (Without knowing what all entries mean I must admit) but I suspect that for a september '08 patched game the top part of the file is supposed to go like this, and it is the same in all four files.

sorry for the long text.

On a side note:

concerning the SFP1 desert terrain, you play it up to sept 2008 standards

1) by putting the above header in DESERT_DATA.INI, (put it in the desert terrain folder)

2) by extracting DESERT_AIRFIELD1.INI to DESERT_AIRFIELD6.INI form germanyCE.cat and putting

them in the desert terrain folder.

3) then play the terrain using a patched WOV/WOE/WOI game.

 

it gives you more detail-ground textures and random flight-line aircraft:

In the Korean War campaign, I often see tanks in the water. Is there any way to fix this?

I'll bet they're near Haeju....that's a movements ini problem (the route postions are defined 'off') EDIT - that's Armed Recon...them trucks are always in the water

 

That's been corrected in the new terrain build (along with a butt-load of other things)
