Persian Gulf Terrain for SF2 (Original Beta by Gepard) == For SF2, Any/All -Full 4/5 Merged, @ May 2012 Patch Level == *Note: should be usable at April 2012 level, but will have issues with Primary Targets for Anti-ship, CAS and Armed Recon. The May 2012 patch fixes this* This is a finalized, completed version of Gepard's Persian Gulf terrain. It replaces the Beta in it's entirety. A companion terrain for the Iran/Iraq2003 Op Darius terrain, or a 'stands by itself' terrain. This terrain covers the eastern end of the Persian Gulf; from southern Iran & the Straits of Hormuz, west to the UAE/Qatar/Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Consult the planning maps for a full view of the region. It should be noted that Kuwait and Iraq are unsable, due to their proximity to The Wall. There is one 'carrier station' (ie: using the SF2NA style water bmp marker) for Friendly usage. This is a higly detailed terrain, with many new custom tiles and TODs. Due to the large number of terrain and ground objects used, you may experience long loading times. It has been fully tested in a full-5 merged SF2 install, at the May, 2012 patch level. Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life ™ courses, be placed in their Real Life ™ locations, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features, and target areas will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, with no strategic or tactical values. Just someplace to fly over. As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. It's also VERY IMPORTANT to read the Legal Statement at the bottom, as it reflects changes in policy to ALL my terrain works (even if finishing someone elses). Good Hunting! Wrench kevin stein

Afghanistan (Modern - 2003 & Later) Terrain == For SF2, Full-4 Merged -ONLY- (and/or SF2:I) == MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS are SF2 and SF2:I, as it uses the IsraelME tileset -- the tiles are NOT included. However, during the rebuild process I did test it with Stary's enhanced IME tile set. Several new tiles have been added for his specific tile set. They ARE included. But DO NOT USE THEM if using the STOCK IME tiles -- there are 'matching tiles' for the stock set, already set up to be used. See the "To Install" for more information. (meaning: right now, it's pointing to the IsraelME.cat) This is a small update/upgrade of Gepard's Afghanistan terrain, bringing it more up-to-date "Modernish", with regards to Allied Operations against the Taliban and other various Bad Guys ™. All airfields have been replaced with 'stock', more Western/NATO looking, as (re)constructed by Western Forces after their arrival in-theatre. (unfortunately, when matching the airfiled types to 'real world' types, you now lose the ability to base aircraft needing the LARGE Runway 4 - B-52s, B-1s, etc) You =MUST= have the Gepard's original terrain to install this to. You can download it from the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/10404-afghanistan-terrain-version-10/ It will be needed for the various theatre-specific GroundObjects, and Nation.ini modifications. It should also be noted, that EricJ's 'enhanced targets' ini is NOT incorporated into this mod. Due to changes in the types of runways used now, that mod is, unfortunately, NO LONGER COMPATIBLE with this one. The "LimitedNations" and "AllowedMissonTypes" statements have been edited to more reflect the 2003 and later timeframe (I'm sure a left out a NATO component or 2; please feel free to add whichever country I've missed! And let me know which ones!) Remember -- this is just a small, minor overhauling. No real major changes. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Special Thanks to EricJ, who asked for this upgrade, and his invaluable assistance. And to all our Fighting Forces in the far-flung regions of the world.
