+JSF_Aggie Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 View File Southwest United States for SF2 ******************************************************************************* ********************** Southwest United States Terrain ************************ ******************************************************************************* This is a remake of Dave's & Deuces SCal terrain, as included in the TopGun campaign from 2003. The following are the biggies: - Previous target areas moved to their correct locations - Several new target areas added - The HeightMap has been regenerated as previous was 3x reality - Completely retiled with 1024x1024 tiles, via gerwin's TFDTool - Custom Nellis AFB and Edwards AFB layouts - Bombing/Gunnery range just east of China Lake Yuma and Tonopah are hostile airfields. Currently, the enemy is set to be the Soviets. This is temporary, as I am currently working several TopGun campaigns and updated, Hi-Res skins, for the A-4 aggressors. You can change this if you like, in the SWUS_NATIONS.INI file. After the campaigns are complete, I plan to work to add city tiles and trees. ******************************************************************************* *********************** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ***************************** ******************************************************************************* 1. Copy the SWUS folder into "ModFolder"/Terrains/ 2. Edit "ModFolder"/Terrains/SWUS.ini to point to a stock terrain.cat file that you have installed: CatFile=Desert.cat 3. (Optional) Edit "ModFolder"/Terrains/SWUS.ini to point to an EnvironmentSystem.INI file of your choosing: EnvironmentFile=SWUS_ENVSYS_STOCK.INI ;EnvironmentFile=SWUS_ENVSYS_SARCASM_14.INI ;EnvironmentFile=SWUS_ENVSYS_SARCASM_15.INI I needed to raise the altitude of the clouds, to prevent them from colliding with the high mountains of the terrain. Included are three Environment files whose only edits are the cloud height. If you are using one of Stary's SARCASM mods (recommended), comment out the stock file, and uncomment out the file for the version of SARCSM you're running. Files for versions 1.4 & 1.5 are included. ******************************************************************************* ********************************* CREDITS ************************************* ******************************************************************************* Original SCAL terrain....................Dave & Deuces Static SU-9 Model........................russouk2004 Hangars "str_han"........................Stary Hangars "halle"..........................Mitch TowerComplex & FireExtinguisher..........Amokfloo FloodLight, SunShelter & HeliPad.........Pureblue RAF_Cart & PT_Y..........................Sundowner Fire Trucks..............................Ravenclaw Runways & Taxiways.......................Gepard & Sundowner Camp.....................................FirstFlight D-20.....................................Pasko Radars r4 & r5...........................Polak Barbwire.................................Monty CZ Nellis AFB object layout.................Hurc Special thanks to gerwin, for without his TFDTool, I would not have been able to make this. If I left anyone out, it was unintentional. Please let me know and I will update the README. ******************************************************************************* ******************************* LEGAL STUFF *********************************** ******************************************************************************* Since this is still a work in progress for me, I request that you don't upload modifications to this terrain. I would like the chance to finish it first. Feel free to reuse the tiles for anything that is FREEWARE, but be aware, I did not make all possible transition tiles, just the ones I needed for this terrain. Do not include any of this in PAYWARE.

+JAT81500 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks a lot, it is amazing. Are you planning to add some sams ? Quote
+JonathanRL Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I solved the opposition by putting USMC as OPFOR. Perfect for anybody with the DLC F-21 ! Quote
Icarus999 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Wow.... seriously, wow! Amazing scenery. Great job on this!!! Once this terrain has its city regions set up with tiles that contain the detail and variety of the rest of the map, it is going to be one of the most epic terrains ever. Quote
+paulopanz Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The terrain is terrific! .... can't wait for the Top Gun campaign! Quote
supercoupe Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 What am I missing? How do I make it work? I looked all over for INI file & I am at zero. I am trying to get this going & see Edwards AFB in the game, I work there. Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Can you tell me what you did, and also describe your problem a little more? You shouldn't have to do anything to get the terrain to show except copy the SWUS into your "Terrains" folder. Not the "Terrains" folder under C:/Program Files...., but the folder under your Mod folder. If you don't have SF2, you won't have the "desert.cat", which would only cause your runways not to appear. You need to point to a terrain .cat file that you have. Quote
supercoupe Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I extracted it to saved games , thirdwire , SF2 , terrain , I did this with cuba in the past & it worked so I tried it with SWUS & cant get it going. On a note , the add-on terrains (cuba) are not working also. I have 4 sf2's & latest patch. The folders show the file but in the game no joy! Quote
+Julhelm Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 If you are going to do the cities I have some highrise buildings I could contribute. Quote

On a note , the add-on terrains (cuba) are not working also. I have 4 sf2's & latest patch. The folders show the file but in the game no joy! Do you have any add-on terrain working at all ? If not, check and make sure that the foder name is Terrains .. with S at the end.... the old SFP1/WOV series used "Terrain" which is not a valid folder name for SF2 series Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 If you are going to do the cities I have some highrise buildings I could contribute. Julhelm, yes please. Thanks supercoupe, what Crusader said. Also, I'll post a screenshot of my directory structure when I get home tonight, but it'll be a few hours. Quote
supercoupe Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Sounds like a fix , I don't recall an S ..... 2 hrs for me to look into it, thanks....TBA! Quote
tiopilotos Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 A real pleasure flying above this terrain! Thanks for your good work Aggie! 1 Quote

If I try to get the 1.1 it tells me that I'm not authorized. Me too. i just checked. Nothing to do with approval. Be careful, JSF_Aggie! The new version should not be uploaded as an attachment! The original v1.0 file can be removed and the 1.1 version should be uploaded in its place, instead. Just double check the interface when uploading the new version; you can remove the older file and reupload a new one, or you can upload the new one and also keep the older one.

Wrench Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 I always upload the new version, then delete the older one. Cuts down on the confusion! Quote
+Typhoid Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Well, two days ago when I set up the download it was the old 1.0 version Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 I removed both files and uploaded a complete version last night. It's pending approval. 2 Quote
