Afghanistan Terrain New Targets v1.5

---

This is a modification (that was okay'd by Gepard) that adds more targets to his version 1.0 of the Afghanistan map. Right now it is technically a "beta" but it adds a few more targets, CAS areas to the map. Along the days I'll add more here and there, but is considered to be a seperate mod to his terrain.

 

README:

 

Simply extract and put it in the Afghanistan terrain folder, and allow overwrite.

 

Original work done by Gepard.

 

If you have suggestions or locations you may have added, please don't hesitate in contacting me.

 

1.5 Notes:

 

- With thanks to Gepard, Bagram has been upgraded to a LARGE airbase, allowing B-1s, B-52s or other bombers to take off. Remember that to takeoff without crashing, take off from the eastern side of the runway.

- Modern CAS designations. If you want to use more historic designations, scroll to the bottom of the _targets file and name away.

- More targets in more places, be prepared to fly to the interior. Most of the targets are still on the "ring" but a few inside.

For those a bit daunted by the terrain, the only way to concievably put out targets is to fly a mission, enable your DisplayDebug=TRUE and use CTRL + F12 and then "fly" to where you want. If you get something like the image below, your targets will be sunk "on the earth" and therefore not reachable technically by your weapons due to collision zones and "transparency" of the 3d terrain. However, you can also find areas that if you "fly" and you are skimming the ground, without getting the result below, then you can put targets on there. I found that out today with a SAM site on the slope of the mountain, so technically... you should be able to engage those targets without sinking them.

Updated to 1.5, with thanks to Gepard for upgrading Bagram so you can fly B-1s or other bombers from there. Not wholly realistic but since there are B-1s operating there, might as well have some kinda fun.
