+Gepard Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 View File Afghanistan Terrain version 1.0 Afghanistan Terrain version 1.0 ======================== I. The word before: AFGHANISTAN Terrain IS MADE FOR WINGS OVER ISRAEL (WOI) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it runs with SFP1,WOV and WOE too, but then it does not include all features! *************************************** II. History: From December 1979 till now Afghanistan is a land in war. Soviets, Dushmans, Mudjahedin, Warlords, Taliban and Americans (OEF) destroyed the once florish land nearly completly. This terrain is dedicated to all man who fought in this country and to all who lost their lives in a senseless war. ***************************************** III. The terrain: Afghanistan terrain is now complete. It covers the areas around Kabul, Bagram, Jalalabad, Kunduz, Mazar i Sharif, Kandahar, Herat and Shindand. In comparision with Beta 0.75 i have again retiled some areas to include rivers and to make corrections. New target areas are set, especially around Herat and Shindand. I also included the airbase Shindand. It was the fisrt operational Su-25 base during soviet Afganistan war You can fly and fight along the Jala Road and surrounding mountains, the Kandahar region and in the north eastern part of Afghanistan where today the German ISAF sector is situated. You will find enemy positions in the hills and valleys north of Bagram, but also single bandit troops on the soviet/allied hold lowlands. You will find friendly and enemy fortified hill positions - number of set target areas: -215 - Missions which can be flown are CAS, Armed Recon, Recon, Strike,SEAD -Air to air missions are impossible, because no taliban airfield is set (as historical correct) -I recommend a seperate installation of WOI for Afghanistan terrain. The new nations.ini would otherwise make trouble with other terrains. (I set all nations = friendly, only Afghanistan= Enemy So you can fly for the Soviets and the OEF troops( USA,UK,NL etc) against the same Enemy) You can delete not needed planes (for instance Mirages) and groundobjects (SAM, Radar,most tanks etc) and you can include needed planes, like the Mi-24 or the A-10 more easily. -Panzers, like T-54,55,62 etc should be redesignated from TANK to ARTILLERY in their groundobjects data.ini. The reason is, that Panzers are widely useless in such a mountainous land. With the groundobjects i have included in this package you will have infantry engagements which are more Afghan style - Capun withdraw his permission to use his Mi-24D.lod and Mi-8T-Dest.lod file which were included in the Beta 0.6. Thatswhy you must download this files from Capuns site http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ -IF you NOT HAVE WOI, you can use this terrain with SFP1,WOV or WOE too, but you must download the Afghanistan tileset from CombatAce download section. Some groundobjects, related with WOI will with other games not appear. ******************************************* IV. INSTALLATION: -Unzip the file into your Wings over Israel Thats it! If you want then you can place mainscreen.bmp into your menu folder. Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOE,WOV and SFP1? For WOE open file Afghanistan.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat with CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat For WOV open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat with CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat For SFP1 open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat with CatFile=..\desert\Idesert.cat After this step install Afghanistan tileset by following the Afghanistan tileset Read Me. ****************************************** V. Credits: At this place i want to say thank you to Geo for his permission to use his SquadCent files which i modified into Taliban warriors etc. And to Wrench who allowed me to use Montys Stinger site which i modified into Blowpipe and Strela site. I want to say thank you to Pasko who made the lod file for the BTR-60 and 70 and the single soldier with SA-7 which i also use for RPG-7 and Mortar (recoilless gun.) I want to say thank you to Rebel Ryder for the Taliban Dushka and the Toyota Hillux. And finally i want to say thank you to all who found mistakes and gave me the hint. ******************************************* VI. Disclaimer: Afghanistan Terrain IS FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED. Sharing of Groundobjects which are part of this package needs the permission of their makers!!!! If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum. ***************************************** VII. The final words: Hope you enjoy it.

Canadair Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Gepard, I am afraid Kabul intl is in the middle of trees Thank you for the terrain it is fun to fly Quote
+Gepard Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks for finding the bug in 0.75 Beta. Some moments ago i have uploaded the finished terrain. Kabul Int is now set correctly, Shindand and Herat are new areas for combat. Hope you enjoy it. Quote
+paulopanz Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Very, very scenic and fun terrain to fly. I use it in a separate WoI install, and with little edits (plus Afghanistan tileset) in SF-2, too. This is a preview of my & Spillone104's incoming brand new F-6C, that seems truly at home over Your mountains (only a little north from Kashmir ....) in SF-2. I hope You like it.

TurtleHawk Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks, Gepard. paulopanz, or anyone else, would you be willing to share the steps to get it to work in SF2 Israel, please? Thank you Quote
EricJ Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) It shouldn't be any different from SF2E only in that it to work, you have to use CatPack to extract the IsraeliME textures from WOI (IsraeliME.cat), and put all that in the Afghanistan folder. I don't have SF2I installed so you can try that route using that .cat file. If you have WOI then do as previously described. Edited January 6, 2010 by EricJ Quote
+Gepard Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 If someone would like to make and upload a SF2 compatible version of Afghanistan terrain then feel free to do so. Its a job i cant do myself, because i'm one of the few who still havent SF2. Hey Paul, nice Farmer! Quote
+paulopanz Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Thanks, Gepard. paulopanz, or anyone else, would you be willing to share the steps to get it to work in SF2 Israel, please? Thank you Well .. I'm not an expert about terrains, but maybe someone could use this. My homemade SPF-2 conversion is very simple: 1. Install Afghan tileset 2. put this in terrain folder Afghanistan.rar 3. Fly! Paul N.B. I use SF2I. If You haven't You have to change CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat with the terrain I like to use (es. \GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat), but I haven't tested it. P.S. I saw that ometimes there is a problem with tilsets near rivers. I'm not able to solve it. Edited January 8, 2010 by paulopanz Quote
