My next terrain project

[+Stratos]

It seems is approved already, so go download version  0.40!

[+EricJ]

Had the same issue with the ship I believe with 0.40. What is the ship under so I can remove it and see if that fixes the issue?

I was unable to dublicate your problem on my computer. I flew circles around the ship with american and ukrainian planes and the ship was not firing at me or my wingman.

 

The ship is a stock KrivakII.

If you want to delete it go to [targetarea086] and replace the entry KrivakII with Patrolboat.

 

[+EricJ]

Okay. It could be glitching on my end but it is weird that it doesn't bother BLUFOR (NATO, etc). But does for Soviet Air force. I'll delete it and check again.

[+EricJ]

Yeah that fixed the problem. Do you have SF2:NA? If you do then the problem should come up If not it won't register as such, which may be why you didn't have an issue and I did.

I develop the terrain with SF2E and test it with SF2NA. In SF2E the Krivak is not included and does not appear in game. And with my SF2NA i have no problems with friendly fire, neither with Blue, nor with Red side.

[+EricJ]

I'm not meaning friendly fire, I mean the mission clearing if you select for a saved mission. If you select None for Air Defenses on both sides it won't clear because there is an SF2:NA ship on  the map, regardless of where it is and depends on what side you choose. But for this latest build you can't just fly around because it won't clear because of the UKR ship that's on the map. That's what I'm talking about. By changing the Krivak to a PatrolBoat you can clear the mission and just fly around as Russian or any ENEMY side.

An other small project of me is a What if scenario.

1982, Argentina conquered the Falklands. The british PM Thatcher sent out the Royal Navy, but not to reconquere the islands, but to strike Buenos Aires, the argentinian capital.

Core of this scenario is the Rio de la Plata Bay, with the argentinian carrier battle group defending Buenos Aires and a british battle group in the role of the attacker.

Here the planning map:

And here a Super Etendard taking of from Tandil Airbase.

There´s one in Beta stage WIP by an argentine friend. Another one by Torno. The main problem is to resize it to add south Brazil air bases (there are two) without touching the edge. If you´re able to do it in this map it should be a step ahead as we can simulate an Argentine/Brazilian conflict. Perhaps Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay against Brazil.

In Torno´s map the Rio da Prata and it´s bay looks very muddy as the real thing. Very appropriated by the way.

Should be like this:

Gepard, is not Aeroporto but AEROPUERTO.

[+Gepard]

Swambast sent me his Kachowka High Dam for Southern Ukraine, Crimean Peninsula terrain. It looks really great!

It will be included in the next Beta.

In portuguese (Brazil) AEROPORTO is correct, but it´s applied for civilian operations. For military the correct is "Base Aérea".

The names of that terrain are temporary placeholders, so far. The brazilian base which i called Candas, is at the wrong place. Candas is outside of the terrain. But i cant move the terrain not further to the east, because  Buenos Aires would come to close to the "invicible wall" of the terrain in the west. There would be two ways to solve the problem. Either to make a new, bigger terrain with a size of 1.500x1.500 km instead 1.000x1.000 km. Or second, to realize, that the brazilian bases are much to far away from Argentina. Thatswhy temporary airfields would be the solution. At Google Earth i found some places in Brazil with smaller airfields. Some with concrete runway, others with sand runway. But for an ingenieur corps it is not a problem to build a temporary airfield. Thatswhy we have the runways2 and 3 in SF2 world. This are temporary airfields.

Close to the place, where i have placed Candas, i have found a small dirt runway at Arrio Grande. Thatswhy i have reamed Dandas AFB to Arrio Grande Aeródromo de campo. I hope Google translater gave me the correct spanish term for the german word "Feldflugplatz".

[Wilches]

Thanks for the effort anyway! Correction. Is CANOAS instead CANDAS.

The Argentinians speak spanish, then Aeropuerto.

[+Gepard]

For the Argentine Navy we had only the carrier and the General Belgrano cruiser. Thatswhy i modified the stock Gearing class destroyers to make it working as argetine ship.

The same i made with the Sumner class, of which the argentinians had 3 vessels.

Right now I'm thinking about which project to start next.

I have 4 in mind.

1) Poland

2) Borderwar between China and Vietnam in 1979

3) version of Battle of Britain terrain for the 1960th or 70th

4) Diego Garcia

 

Poland is an area with a lot of possible scenarios. World War 2 in 1939 and 1945, a possible Warsaw Pact invasion in 1981, a modern Suwalki Gap scenario, or a hypotetical what if the former german province Ostpreussen would have become the homestate of the jews: Israel in Central Europe.

 

China and Vietnam Borderwar is an interesting scenario, because both sides have similar planes and weapons, so that only the skill of the player decides of an outcome of an air battle. I like the idea very much.

 

"Modern" Battle of Britain terrain has two major possible scenarios. One: The Soviets have taken control over France and UK is in the same situation as 1940, but with other enemy. Two: A conflict between the European Community and UK, a scenario with its own flair, because blue vs blue and to be honest true friends the Brits and the French never were.

 

Diego Garcia. Its an other naval map with one base on an island and carrier operations.

These are all great ideas I think that the Vietnam and china one could also include the South china sea for a hypothetical clash for the spratly islands

Though Poland and the English channel are all great as well for which i thought cold war hypotheticals for both say the Soviets occupy France or NATO invasion through Poland

If you have YAP you can use this file: (i dont know if the .LOD file is in YAP Revamp, but of course you will need to ask for permision to redistribute)

 

 

there is also another version that doesnt use YAP FIles but havent tested it:

I have my problems with the YAP file pirates. They have to often stolen files and sold them as their own work.

didnt know that, i thought the most pirated thing where ripped models from other games.

oh, no. well known fact about YAP

Back to South Ukraine, Crimean Peninsula terrain. SitRep.

I'm playing with tiles for the big mining area of Kriwoi Rog. The result is not so as i wish, but it are the first steps to finish this area on the map.

So it looks in game:

This are two test tiles, with no blending to other tiles. The upper tile needs a completly rework. I have scaled it wrong. Normaly it should cover an area of 4 x 4 kilometers. The lower tile is nearly correct in size 2x2 kilometers. What a pit! What a mine!  If Kolya wants to destroy the nature, then he does it in big scales.

I played a little bit with the Rio de la Plata terrain files and made a new airbase: Mariano Moreno near Buenos Aires.

So it looks:

 

[+torno]

The day he completed and launched his map of the Río de la Plata, he would adapt it for the campaign of the 1955 revolution.
where the Argentine Air Force would face the navy and naval aviation, Uuguay would also participate with its P-51 and HELLCATS, escorting defecting aircraft to Uruguayan territory.
imagine Gloster Meteor, Pulqui I (new), pulqui II,IA-30(new),IA-37(new),IA-38(new), Lancaster,F45UNL(new),P-51,Hellcat,AT-6D Texan, Catalina, new aircraft carrier Independencia.
