SitRep: The ukrainian airfields have now all correct parking positions. Now i'm working on the russian bases.

Yakarow79 made the Nitka Ramp for the terrain. Its the ski jump ramp where the soviet and russian carrier pilots trained the take off from carrier.

SitRep:

The progress of terrain modding was yesterday slow. I wasted my time to find a bug, which was a transport plane, that randomly appeared middle on the runway. After hours and hours of searching i finaly found the reason for the bug. It was a simple typo. I wrote "." instead ",".

And again the old wisdom proved true: It are the little things that cause big troubles.

There are still 4 russian airbases to rework. If the progress is so as i hope, i think i can release a next Beta this weekend, maybe sunday.

Out  of curiosity are you going to work on the South east part of the map? Like make the mountains less smooth and more like PFunk's terrain? And are you going to add airbases there too?

The Caucasus mountains are not in focus of this terrain. The main focus is on russian-ukrainian conflict. In a first step i will finish the Crimean peninsula. Then i will go to the Cherson-Nikolaew area, where, i think, we could expect increased military actions in fall and late 2022.

Okay, thanks.

As a small consolation for you, I have revised the snowtiles.

 

[EricJ]

Cool,  I can't wait 

[+Gepard]

I have a little delay with making the terrain. Real life issues. I hope that i can finish Beta 0.30 tomorrow or Tuesday.

Russian barracks complex at the Crimean peninsula, with 30 T-72A, 3 BTR-80A and 4 AAA.

An other russian barrack complex.

I will try to upload Beta 0.30 tomorrow. Today my internet is very slow. Dont know why.

I have uploaded Beta 0.30 some minutes ago. The admin must give the okay and then it will be available for you.

Hope you enjoy it.

The next step will be to finish the Crimean peninsula and then i will focus on the area between Cherson and Nikolajew, the rivers Dnjepr and Südlicher Bug (german names of the towns and rivers).

SA-5 SAM site near the south coast of the Crimean Peninsula. In the 1990th the ukrainians accidently shot down an airliner over mid Black Sea with a SA-5 Gammon missile, lauchend from this SAM polygon.

Screenshot: Well camouflaged and hard to see. Who can see the 3 SAM sites?

Close up:

 

[+Gepard]

The Russians had had two Oilrigs at the shores of the Crimean Peninsula. In June they were attacked by the Ukrainians.

Thatswhy i placed the two Oilrigs on the map. The location is only a guess. If someone knows the exact position, then let me know.

 

[+Gepard]

With Swambasts help i try to create the Kakhovka high dam. He is making the objects, while i made a new tile and puzzle the parts together.

Its not finished yet. I must still create 3 new tiles and then i hope, that the tiles will fit and will looking good.

[+Gepard]

I was offline for a couple of days. That gave me the time to rework the river tiles. The greenish river i replaced by a dark blue one. I think it looks more like Europe than before.

Screenshot: The Delta of the river Dnepr, when reaching the Black Sea.

WIP SitRep:

I'm still working on Kachowka high dam. Swambast made the dam object. And i think it looks great. I made 3 new tiles and puzzled all together. As you can see, the hight field around the dam is not yet correct. And on the last screnshot you can realize, that i have forgotten to repaint one tile. it has still a little part of the former greenish river color. It has to be fix.

Tower check at Saki Air Base.

This tower building was made by Yakarow. It is part of the NITKA system for training of carrier pilots.

[+Gepard]

Yakarow made the RSBN beacon for my terrain. RSBN was the soviet version of TACAN navigation system. German MiG-29 pilots, who had flow for LSK and Bundesluftwaffe said, that RSBN was more accurate.
