​Hey!  I saw in a WIP thread awhile ago that there was a South African terrain in the works.... is that still going?  Cause I would love to fly in a border war scenario considering I am south African!  Haha anyone have any info on that?

He's not dead, he's only modding other games. And yes, modtly dead, as we would need a advanced terrain modder to finish what we have.

well, lets see how things go with my life, before I volenteer! as it stands, i'm probably not going to finish the ww2 CBI terrain...(i've done enough  north Africa/Middle East/East Africa/Med Basin that something in the south might be interesting....)

 

but, lets wait and see what the opthalmologist says on the 14th of Feb.....I KNOW more work will be required. <sigh>

 

 

pity about Centurion moving on...that means we won't be getting a new, no-strings-attached, completely freeware A-37 Dragonfly.  (unless he's willing to pass on his MAX files to another modeler...which ain't such a bad idea, eh?)

It would be quite the awesome terrain to have and be fun to fly in my backyard!  So to speak...

OT, Anyone got an alternate means of getting ahold of Centurion? I think the A-37 is close enough for a release but it is his baby and want to talk to him first

Indeed

All avenues should be pursued in acquiring the new Dragonfly!!

      No more repetitive borders or center tiles and more different villages. With this randomization all village and city tiles can be used at will where ever in the game  in any possible rotational state, and it's a lot less mapping work. I already showed the idea some time ago but not with the Harvest City Set. There is still some work to be done to narrow some borders and create the right impression I'm after but I think it's slowly getting there.
      Here's a few screen shots, as an experiment a few village tiles were replaced with breaker field tiles and two different city/village layouts were tried, which means that the randomization for each layout is entirely different while the cities and village sizes and positions weren't changed. 





      You heard it first on combatace.com

      Here's a compilation of the 12 latest tiles for the 'Harvest' set. I created a temporary map where all other tiles were removed from and randomly filled the EAW world with these 12 tiles only. 12 screen shots were taken of which 6 are displayed now. The remaining 6 will replace these pictures at a later date as I may not have captured all 12 tiles in these screenies and to safe on page loading times .

      Regularly my terrain editor comes across this coastal situation for which the standard EAW tile set has no solution. It concerns a narrow passage between two land masses. Ofcourse you can simply widen the passage and use two corner tiles but I think this is sometimes more elegant when there's a large number of this situation, like for instance with a large number of islands close together. I think it serves a few more purposes so here's an example of the tile I use in 2 rotational states.

      Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
      *****************************************************
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I. Short description:
      This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
      The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
      It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
      The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
      Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
      You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
      For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
      New in vesion 1.2:
      - number of target area increased from 37 to 47
      - all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
      - Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
      - At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
      - I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
      - I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
      - I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
      New in version 1.3
      - number of targetareas increades to 82
      - a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
      - included uruguayan airbases
      - included static Cessna for airfield "population
      - included some goodies

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. INSTALLATION:
      To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

      Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

      Thats it.

      If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
      If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
      Rio_de_la_Plata_Bay.ini
      with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
      //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
      change the entry into:
