Nice work with the LST and ships!

Get well soon my friend!

Hello mate, yes create a flight folder in your "mod folder" (saved games..) viewlist can be found in the CATs. you can extract any file to its respective place inside "mod folder" than edit as you wish.

Here's a camera/view mod you might like: http://combatace.com/topic/71289-pbs-tomcat-viewlist/ (SF2NA is not a requirement any SF2 will do..)

This is a revisit to my 'Airfields with some Spice' mod, which was actually just uploaded to the thread in Beta stage. The base designs are from Gepard's airfields mod, with objects from Ravenclaw, Amokfloo, Polak, Comrpnt and Sundowner. Here's Hopsten. How do the earth mounds look? The taxiway is 20m wide.. Suggestions are welcome. Before you ask, one can't taxi inside the shelters. But i'm still leaving one empty (no parked aircraft inside) for later usage by a single mission designer. Just start a little bit outside the shelter.. I wish we had some tree models to plant around.

Yes, those are Docked clones. They were used to populate the terrain as static objects. Most of these clones have engine sound/smoke deleted, and some without radar/missiles.. So if you're designing custom single missions use the ones without _D, they have the original data.ini files.

Let me start by posting a TO-DO list for myself: - Extensive work for CAS, Armed Recon and Anti-Ship stations. - Map guide with bases, targets and scenic spots - Training Mission packs following a few different story lines. - Cyprus redesign. (this one, eta 2 weeks Tips: - Planning map legend: Blue Dots: Turkish Airfields Red Dots, Greek Airfields Black: Major Cities (other than the ones that have airfields) Orange: Naval bases

File Name: Anatolia Project v2 File Submitter: PureBlue File Submitted: 25 September 2011 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Terrains Anatolia v2 (09/25/2011) for SF2 Series by PureBlue (Umut Destan) ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDIT: Check bottom of this post if you experience CTDs (Crash to desktop). v2 Ramblings ----------------------- New features: - The tileset is now based on Stary's GermanyCE reworked tileset v1.1. - New planning map contributed by Spectre8750 - New target areas (Mostly around the border, for future campaign plans) - New airfields (Stefanovikio AB, Ercan and Paphos in Cyprus) - A few airfields with new designs - Most naval groundobjects now include properly defined "destroyed models." - New SAM vehicles included (Crotale Standin, Avenger, L60 Bofors...) - More work in Cyprus. Some roads, barracks, harbours.. (Still work in progress) I suggest creating an Exclusive Install for this terrain. The pack already includes historically accurate groundobjects, and many of the aircraft used in the region are already available as mods and more are on the way.. Hopefully the next step for the project will be a pack that includes everything; campaings/objects/aircraft/terrain. Have fun! Just a note to all: The terrain and included objects have become very large. Thus, depending on how big your install is (aircraft and other mods) the Terrain Loading, might CTD or lockup at %100. Basically, every time you load up the game, you may have to first load a single mission in a stock terrain, exit from it, and ONLY after this, loading Anatolia will not cause you CTDs. (This technique solves the issue %100 percent of the time, for me) Please check the Recommendations part of the readme. v1 Ramblings ----------------------- This project has been in development for 3 years and is the fruit of long hours of research, design and implementation work. I've met great people along the way and they made many contributions to the project. I thank every one of them but my special appreciations go to, Steve "Swambast" who worked countless hours with me and developed STT (Swambast's Target Translator) which let me lay the foundation of this project; and Stary, a great artist from Poland who is behind all the beautiful looks of the terrain; Dave and the CombatAce team for providing us the platform to meet and have fun. The project includes a large map covering Anatolia (Turkiye), Greece, Aegean, Black Sea, and eastern Med. The download also includes many ground and terrain objects, contributed by the talented modders in our community. It's essential to install all these components to get the complete experience. Enjoy! INFO & INSTALLATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This project is designed for 2nd Gen SF2 series. Succesfully tested in SF2:Europe and above. (A merged EXP2 install is recommended but not a requirement.) There are 2 ways/methods to install this Mod. #1 An exclusive install just for this Mod. #2 Installing on top of the mod folder you already are using. (meaning, merging with your own install) *** The preferred method of install is the (1) exclusive install. Since there are many groundobjects, ships and air defense systems placed in handpicked locations, it's better to only use the objects that come with this projects' files. The included ones are the makes/models that Turkish and Greek sides have in their inventory. (As best as I could research and find appropriate mods for) INSTALL METHOD #1 1. Rename a set of your "game.exe and game.ini" files to "Anatolia.exe and Anatolia.INI" (eg. StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe and StrikeFighters2 Europe.INI) Run the newly renamed Anatolia.exe once, so you have a new Mod Folder. Check this link if you don't know what a ModFolder is. http://combatace.com...the-mod-folder/ 2. Now go into your new ModFolder and delete the "Objects\GroundObject" folder. 3. Time to copy the project files. Copy the included "Terrains" and "Objects" folders to your ModFolder. With this project, a terrain folder, groundobjects and their respective guns/weapons are included. INSTALL METHOD #2 With this method, you only copy the included "Terrains" and "Objects" folders to your ModFolder. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Everytime you load up the game. Run a quick single mission with a stock terrain and quit without flying. All the successive SingleMission/Campaign games will work as designed and expected. (Why do this? Because the project includes many ground objects, seldomly the game engine has problems loading everything, so the first mission you load up will have many objects/ships missing from the map. The game does some kind of caching so after that first mission, everything will show!) 2. If you don't have a powerfull computer, lower your settings to avoid crashes. If your game crashes or locks up at %100 LOAD, try running your first mission with Settings: -Enemy Air Activiy: LIGHT, Enemy Air Defense: LIGHT 3. The Terrain has LimitedNations set the TRUE. So you'll only get aircraft with only Turkish and Greek markings. 4. A specific Anatolia_EnvironmentSystem.INI is included and you can edit it to your liking. Take note that in the Environment file the clouds are set to a specific MinBaseAltitude to overcome the cloud bug. 5. All included Guns/Weapons/Sounds are for the necessary ground objects. Nothing extra is included here. Without the GroundObjects and their respective files, the map will not look as designed. (For example, naval traffic in the Aegean, historical sam sites and navy/army bases) 6. Most naval traffic in the Aegean Sea is classified as NEUTRAL. You can attack them but you can't order your wingman to do so. If you want, edit & classify the target areas as "Alignment=ENEMY" in the Anatolia_TARGETS.INI CREDITS (Thank you all!) ================================================================================== - STT (Swambast's Targeting Tool) by Steve "Swambast" - TK and Thirdwire - Stary for the Tileset and Hangars,Lighthouses - 8 new airbases for WOE by Gepard - Factory Places, Subpen/bridges by Gepard - Many airfields Light mods by Comprnt - Sundowner: B_Trailer_Mk82, M_trailer, B_TrailerLGB, Y_Tractor, RAF_Cart, B_Duel_Y_Trac, C_Type, RAF_Bunker, TAB_Vee, HAS_M, HAS_E, c_store, Earth Walls, mounds, blast walls and all desert variants of these objects - Planning map contributed by Spectre8750 - Wrench!

A Really wonderful terrain Ant.

Would this work? For example create 3 different CVS-11 Intrepid NavalUnits covering the 3 tours on different dates. Then set the squadrons to respective naval units depending on start dates. Does the NavalUnit disappear when retirement comes?

These two ships, a Kresta (U in RWR) and a Type 053 (FF) can paint me on radar even behind two mountain ridges. They can lock me up and keep firing at me even after running a while behind this obstacle. Also the ZSU is on my RWR, to the Right, which is actually on the airfield to the right, couple more ridges away, at sea level. Sure the missiles are not hitting me but it looks like there could be problem with terrain masking the radar signals? SF2NA, Jul2012, all settings including terrain detail on highest.

On the other hand, something like a radar horizon (?) seems to be simulated. When attacking a carrier group in open water, the lower I fly the later I will be detected (RWR signature verifies this). The curvature of the earth?... The radar horizon height depends on my altitude.. Was it like this in previous games? Need to double check it.

Just tried the same mission and profile with Gerwins Old style Iceland, things worked as expected. Clear RWR when terrain masking.. They would still fire a few missiles after I duck but that could be expected I guess.

I consider the flat object (airfields/runways) Z buffer issue a "view distance" problem also. When bombing airfields, all parked aircraft and other objects are invisible until close ranges.

A work of art. Loving the details and texture work.

Thank Paul, nice work !

Top quality work, thanks to all involved !

This just got updated right?

I really like the style of these planning maps, great work Spectre.

Loving the new Korea.. Thank you to the whole team!

This is going right into my new Korean install. You the man Kev.
