Good to hear that SF2 works on Linux with this terrain. I never had much luck getting Strike Fighters 2 to run on Linux through Wine. My system is at Wine v10 level and uses the AMD GPU driver. I have a Windows multiboot to run SF2 and such.

Congrats on the release! Bought it yesterday. The game is new me, so I haven't gotten far, yet. Yes I would also much prefer a GOG version. I have wrapped the Steam_Api.dll so it is practically a GOG version now, as it runs without the Steam Client. It runs in Windows XP 32-bit even. The Demo mode is neat. I noticed there are 4 Demo templates, but things play out a little different every time. Good to see it is still has all the original (low poly) assets, not some mixup with mods in a different style.

I assisted Wrench with this terrain at the time. Used Xplanet software to convert rectangular DEM format to a Spherical image. October 20, 2013: "Here is Norway and the North sea in gnomonic projection. As a TFD file. Silimal to Germany CE in scale, and 1500x1500km. A Part of Iceland is still visible on the top left."

I updated the terrain slightly. Upload no. 15. - Two additional red airfields in the north. Two blue off-map airfields in Japan (which the mission generator does not really use...) - Completed the tod objects for the cities in the forest surroundings.

Not quite. This is a 1999 engine, AFAIK running as it always was. https://www.mobygames.com/game/1126/star-wars-x-wing-alliance/

So basically you asked for an update and now you have (found) it. ;) Do you mean airbases or just general bases? I suppose any added target-area can be a target, so I am then forced to make it a challenging and complete target-area, with AAA+SAM defences and such.

I am in the Netherlands. Actually it is currently quite hot here as well, in the afternoon especially. It reads 26.5 degrees Celsius in the shade. There is no air conditioning in my house...

Just happened to read this. You are talking about TFDtool data.ini exporting? And TAE is somehow case sensitive here? TFDtool used to write uppercase N: "FileName=something". I just changed this to "Filename=something" with lowercase n. In version 1.20 that is (no other changes since may 2025). Edit: need to change the syntax in the terrain mods on my website as well.

Glad you like it. Last version is upload 14 from 27-03-2025 (readme used to say 27-02-2025, but that is a typo) I will propably add some more TOD objects for cities and rivers, plus more Target-Areas like bridges. But it is summer now, with nice weather, so less time for computer hobbies...

Sorry I don't have any other GOG files for EAW. It seems GOG currently only offers v1.20 for download. See screenshots.

I have it here setup_european_air_war_1.20_(45828).exe eaw.exe = 1.431.040 bytes / CRC32: C757AE47

daddyairplanes/Nightshade. Good to hear that. I will keep that in mind. :)

Appreciate that. The aim is to stick to the Falcon 4 world, which depicts the situation in the 1990's. Not the 1950's. The map tiles already define airfield locations. The falcon 4 link gives it a touch of nostalgia. I found this sometime last year, and used it identify the airfields. https://maps.falcon-bms.com/ ( The BMS Korea there is a slightly tweaked version of the original Falcon 4 map, but it is mostly the same. ) I don't know if people actually use this Strike Fighters terrain conversion for something, other then me?... Wish I also had a conversion of Falcon BMS "MidEast 128". It looks neat: https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/23905/bms-4-37-theater-list

Hey Wrench. I see it in the screenshot. But In the game, and in TFDtool as well, there are no missing tiles. I would have seen it by now. Since I have been staring at this terrain long enough. Maybe TEA has a maximum amount of tiles limitation? I never really use TEA. (I do use Andy's LOD-viewer an TOD-editor)

It has been a year since. Past december I added 36 new .tod files to the terrain (=buildings and trees), amongst some other small adjustments. But I never uploaded it, until now. Also added an unrelated download package to my website: Ropucha Landing Craft.
