Question how to change an Airfield?

[+Soulfreak 6,528]

Hi guys, i have convertet the seasoned Amercan NW Terrain to my SF2 Europe install. But now I´m a bit bored about the "stock" airfields.

My question is now, how can i change them with the "new" airbases from pureblue?

 

Hope someone from the terrain gurus can help! ;)

I would think....

 

[TargetArea002]

Name=Elk Airfield

Position=259576,345592

Radius=6000.000

ActiveYear=0

Location=1

Alignment=FRIENDLY

AirfieldDataFile=desert_airfield4.ini <---- Change to whatever ini is in the terrain

NumSquadrons=6

 

Where the "desert_airfield4.ini" could be changed to whatever the ini that is in the Anatolia terrain to the new one. Find the appropriate entry and copy the info from the _TARGETS.ini and it should work..

by a simple copy/paste of the relevant target area.

Meaning:

 

We'll leave Elk alone, as that's the Runway 4 and therefore the main NA Alliance 'Big Bomber Base' ™, but say you want to change Grizzly from Runway5 to whichever...

 

[

[TargetArea003]

Name=Grizzly Airbase

Position=143000.000,164000.000

Radius=6000.000

ActiveYear=0

Location=2

Alignment=ENEMY

 

everything below the linse above gets deleted. You need to keep these first 7 lines, as they 'locate' the target area, give it it's boundry region, operational years, location and most importantly, alignment.

 

this stuff below, ie Target]001[ through Target]095[ in this case ---->

 

AirfieldDataFile=desert_airfield5.ini

NumSquadrons=3

Target[001].Type=Runway5

Target[001].Offset=0,0

Target[001].Heading=330

Target[002].Type=Tower1

-snipped to save space in the post-

Target[095].Offset=-900,-1175

Target[095].Heading=150

Target[095].ActiveYear=1933

 

get deleted.

Then, you just copy/paste the lines from

 

AirfieldDataFile=

 

on down to the last numbered target listing -making sure you have ALL the lines for each numbered statement, including ActiveYear= for any airdefense units or whathaveyous, and ZING!

A new airfield

 

I do it ALL the time, there's nothing too it.
