Green Hell 3

[+Dave 2,322]

I "think" that with green areas repainted to shrubbery Israel tileset could possibly pass as a quick placeholder for Afghanistan

 

Did you say shrubbery?

[+Stary 2,427]

Ni!

[+EricJ 4,237]

I am using HIS Israel for afghanistan, and I like it, but I've never been in afghanistan, what do you think erik?

But I ve been recently flying, at very low altitude :)over haifa aerea, in the big fire of the early december. I was stunned of how good Stary's textures portray Isreal.

 

It varies so much it's crazy as I got my photos of my area at ground level. STORM would be the best person to ask IMHO though... But that would be cool as mine are "nice enough to pass" but not totally good enough for upload.

 

And it'd be better to go somewhere else with this as yeah I sorta hijacked the thread but don't want to disturb Stary...

 

BTW, do I need SF2V for GH3?

[GunnySonics 127]

Ive just installed GH3 into my stock SFV, ive only been running this game for 2 weeks since leaving FS2004 after 6 years and your vietnam terrain is better than anything I ever flew over in FS2004, great work Stary, real good quality detail:- im pretty sure I even saw some monkey poo on the jungle floor when i flew over in my A4

Monkey poo...

Sorry I couldn't resist, I'm waiting for Piecemeal to finish up with the airbases then I'll install it. GH2 is nice but I can wait

[+Stary 2,427]

I tried it in Air and Ground War Expansion, with January update, works ok (added to North terrain), flew just few Iron Hand singles in Skoshi, have yet to encounter targetareas out of place.

Not much longer Eric, my good fellow. I'm just finishing off re-arranging some of the furniture in some parts of the airfields. Wass looking around as well for extra groundobject stuff that would fit into that SEA period for the flightlines. No such joy.

 

Another 24hrs methinks, brothers

Stary;

 

I don't know if this is a mistake but, which one is the 'really dry' season?? -

 

 

[season001]

Directory=dry

StartDate=01/01

EndDate=03/20

ScatteredChance=20

BrokenChance=40

OvercastChance=30

InclementChance=10

 

[season002]

Directory=dry

StartDate=10/21

EndDate=12/31

ScatteredChance=20

BrokenChance=30

OvercastChance=30

InclementChance=10

 

EDIT - Cancel that request. I've just figured it out

On a lighter note - I've finished the airfield update and I'll be uploading it probably tomorrow morning. Just waiting for a groundobject delivery from a fellow modder

Edited January 5, 2011 by Piecemeal

[+Stary 2,427]

uhhh... should be reverse:

 

[season001]

Directory=dry

StartDate=04/15

EndDate=09/20

ScatteredChance=20

BrokenChance=40

OvercastChance=30

InclementChance=10

 

something like this?

[+Piecemeal 450]

It's a little confusing really (not on your part) when you google the subject. It appears that the northern, central and southern regions have different dry and wet seasons:

BTW, it wasn't what you had on the INI file that had me confused, I just didn't look at it closely enough. The fact that the U.S. use a different dating system threw me off a little bit

[+Stary 2,427]

yeah, it's the very same issue I had with setting seasons for Gepard's Taiwan

 

after checking the weather chart I'm totally lost, seems Malibu and Eburger68 did smart thing creating two notrhern and southern terrains, not only campaign-wise

I think given the average yearly rainfall level (and ruling out central region for simplicity sake ) the initial entry seems more like:

Another great terrain modification from you.

 

Haven't found anything else matching as a big THANK YOU STARY!!!

 

Greetings

Hi,

 

 

 

First of id like to thank Stary for his work, and for his work in this mod.

 

Now I don't know if I installed it right, I am getting back to SF series and just getting into the 2 series. And I had tried Green Hell back in SFV.

I dont remember if I tried Green Hell 2, or just the first incarnation. GH3 is graphically beautifull, but seems to be lacking that huge tree density I remember. I just Loved those Tree Packed Jungles.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to change some setting?

 

Thank you.

[+PureBlue 71]

GreenHell is still great, but the terrain settings have been changed by some of the Patches.

For one, object fading is implemented.

Check the Options.INI in your MOD folder. Disable Fading and see if you like it.

[lxsapper 0]

Thanks PureBlue, yes you are right, GH3 is still great, no words to describe how much better than the stock terrain, it is.

 

Your tip does make things look nicer, beeing able to see stuff from further away, but my lush thick jungles are slill gone :(

 

Oh well better enjoy what we have.

 

 

[+Stary 2,427]

lxsapper,

 

GH3 differens MUCH from the GH2 (which you really should try!) as I changed my approach to treemods in general, also GH3 was started for Wrench's Darwin map not Nam.

I actually downloaded the Ground war expansion 2.0 wich I belive already brings GH2, haven't Installed yet, but as soon as I have some spare time I'm going to give it a go.

How do I install this to Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam? I dont have the Darwin Map just the default Vietnam map as I just bought it. Some instructions would be great. Thanks.

[+Dave 2,322]

You dont need the Darwin maop. Just dump the contents into the Terrains/VietnamSea folder. If you dont have one, then make that folder and dump the contents in there. The readme explains all.

[squid 21]

Question (helpful i guess for new comers too, besides my dumbheadness) , can the Green Hell 2 as found in the SF1 section be used directly with SF2 too ? (if i am not mistaken there is no SF2 download for GH2) And if the SF1 download is not suitable out of the box for SF2 then the suitable one is found in the "SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack" in the SF2 Missions & Campaigns downloads ?

Thanks for your reply Dave. I dont have a VietnamSea folder but Green Hell has one in the zip so I just copied the folder with everything in it to Terrains. I do have a VietnamSea Security Catolog file in Terrains as well by default?

You dont need it as it looks for it in your main install anyway.
