Did you take the desert.cat file and copy it, then drop into the terrain and downloaded. Once you drop them in there rename them to the name of the terrian. AE needs a copy of the desert.cat file (found in the desert terrain folder) droppws in it and renamed to AE.cat

This has just cropped up with someone else over the Korean Terrain, so I'm reminded how you do it.

 

You go into the standard Desert terrain that comes with the game and find the file called desert.cat. You make a copy of it and put it in your new terrain folder. then you rename it Korea.cat, and now you get the airfields. You rename it whatever the folder is called for the new terrain. So if the folder is called Mexico, you rename it Mexico.cat.

 

Does this help?

No. It would be called VietnamSEA.cat in WOV. Just copy it to your new Terrain that you downloaded, and Rename it (The Name of the new Terrain)

 

i.e. AE, range,Korea,SCal,DBS.......ect.

 

 

Be sure the new Terrain Folder(AE for example) is in your "Terrains" Folder in WOV.

I'm pretty sure it's a conflict with the .hfd and .tfd files. These two files control Hight and Long. Lat. of the Game world. The DRV .hfd and .tfd Files might have different Scales than the Scales in the WOV .hfd and .tfd files which are located in the vietnamSEA.cat. I'm not too sure about this, But it might be the trouble.

 

Besides, DRV 1.4 is a Vietnam Terrain. You already have a Vietnam Terrain in WOV. Every thing you can do in the DRV Terrain, You can do in the WOV terrain. The Ground Object Add-Ons that are to be used in DRV, can be used in WOV.

 

 

I hope this helps you out some.
