Germany terrain rework (Wip)

[Rends 166]

Hi,

got SF2 few weeks ago and when i started my first Mission and and looked around the airfield while sitiing in my A-10 i thought Hugh? A US style watertower on a german airfield. the more i played this Sim the more disturbed me the US style look of the airfields on the german Terrain. They doesn't fit. 

Next i started searching the Internet and found this great community.

Searched around the Forums asked about replacing the watertower and stumbled over Starys wonderfull german hires Terrain textures and later over Gepards German airfields mod. But than i wanted more... 

While i'm somewhat new to this Sim series i'm not new when it comes to game modding. Have done modding since a decade ( Fighter Squadron, StarWars Battlefront series, Kharkov 1942 and others).

Ok enough of the boring part. Just wanted to introduce myself.

 

Here Comes the more interesting stuff.

While i wanted more (for example the airfield mod wasn' final) i gathered some interest in the german Forum.Here are a couple of screenshots and a list of things that already have been done.

Can we see more pics of the Luftwaffe Air bases? Wondering If you will add civilian cars parked near the bases or in towns...

Fantastic distillation of the communities work. You must have the patience of a Saint to place all those object -- I tip my hat to you (well, I wolud if I was wearing one ;)

 

S!

 

 

[+Stary 2,427]

YEEAH!

 

Something I was waiting for since forever; for someone with guts to add and imrove Germany map!

 

Great kudos to all involved guys!

[+JonathanRL 974]

Combine that with Starys Tiles, and I think we would have one hell of a map...

 

Some serious skill, right there.

[jeanba 1,920]

That will be great !!!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

That is awesome Rends! Glad Google pointed you this way 

[+Piecemeal 450]

Impressive. Most impressive.

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Oh and also, reminded because I saw Starys AV-8 screenies in the screenshot thread: will you make some highway airstrips avaliable by default?

Yep, i will add the all. I already include one for test from the Nato Mod just to check if it's work.

I'm not sure if they are any different from the dl version but i plan to add them all.

I think i will add some staff building to the bases. there might be room for some civilian cars. This is just the first of several air bases who will get their specific look, based on aerial view.

BTW

The shelters and the Ramparts use a Terrain texture, so they will change in other seasons also!

STUNNING !!!!!!!!

[Wrench 9,800]

I LOVE how the runway and base is merged with the forest. Accurate item placement like that can be a nightmare!!!

 

good work!!

[+Julhelm 266]

Amazing work. And it really shows what the engine is capable of.
