****Hi res replacement tiles for DBS terrain v0.99b****
 
This is a simple repaint of tiles for DBS terrain, the reasons this is not v1.00 are following
 
- I am not happy with the transition from "SeaIce" to "Sea" area and need to make transition tiles to smooth it up, for that I will need original texturelist of the first DBS terrain...
 
- As you will notice theese tiles are done in 1024x1024, I have been making such tiles on all my recent work anyway then downsizing them to 512, after a few days if there will be enough intrest in this I will post a poll on CA to see if anybody actually notices significant enough visual improvement for me to continue with 1024 tiles, yes I need test bunnies lol
 
 
INSTALLATION:
Simply unzip into DBS terrain folder and overwrite when asked, I recommend backing it up in case you want to revert to the old ones.
 
NOTES ON PERFORMANCE:
I didn't expirience any performance loss even with higher resolution tiles(2048) however, mission loading times will probably increase!

*****GermanyCE Terrain Tiles REPAINT v1.0*****
by Brain32
 
Terrain objects, trees and houses by CA_Stary
 
1.Requirements - Wings Over Europe are required in order for this mod to work!!!
 
2. Installation.
Un-ZiP "GermanyCE" folder into terrain folder(X:\....\Wings Over Europe\Terrain) of your Wings Over Vietnam installation.
As before with my VietnamSEA repaint I offer trees and objects in separate folder to enable simpler instalation for users that either don't want it or can't take the performance hit :)
To install the trees and objects, simply copy all the files from "Objects" folder to x:\...\Wings Over Europe\Terrain\GermanyCE.
 
 
2. Overview.
The tiles are made with help of satelite imagery taken mostly from central - west Germany, mountain tiles were taken from Alps area, and shoreline tiles...well, from German coast lol. Nothing was hand drawn, all those shapes exist in nature but were violently connected together so they fit...
 
3. Known issues
First ofcourse it will have some errors, however the number of those is on par with default terrain if not even better, if however you do find some eye-poking errors please report them with a small image in file announcment thread.
Again same as with VietnamSEA, I didn't work much with the cities, you will notice some improvement in transition city texture but nothing dramatic, it is planned for future update though I simply didn't have time for it now and didn't want a completely functional mod sit on my HDD for maybe months at 99% completition
 
4. Did I forgot something?
I sure hope not...

******************************************
*****KOREA - TILESET ONLY******
*******************************************
 
1. This is a tileset only, meaning a full set of 512x512 resolution textures based on satellite imagery with custom trees and object made by Stary all that made a long time ago even before CA KAW project started in todays form.
Over the time this tileset showed it's age and was abandoned and never released.
 
Since I think this is still a good tileset and can be used for other stuff I decided to release it but originally in an attempt to find a modder who would accept it and do something from it I failed so now I decided to let it fly to wider audience.
 
 
FULL DESCRIPTION:
 
Tileset decipts Korea in autumn with dominant brown/light brown colours, samples were taken from areas of South Korea, city is Pusan IIRC and some from Japan, few were custom made and can really be used to feature land in the general area wherever it may be.
Like I said tileset comes with full tree and object work by Stary which means top quality guys.
 
Basically all you have to do is make a terrain for it or apply it to the existing one, everything else is sorted for you.
 
TERMS OF USE(freeware use only, otherwise contact both me and Stary via PM):
 
Simply put me and Stary in credits like this(you can even copy paste lol):

In the end I hope somebody might find some use for it.
 
SPECIAL NOTE: Tileset uses specific naming convention AND WILL NOT WORK WITH EXISTING TERRAINS out of the box.

**********************Chengdu J-10A Vigorous Dragon SF2*********************
 
 
Original for SF1 series came without the ReadME so I'll have to improvise a bit:
 
1. CREDITS
 
Original creators of this excellent mod for SF series are:
 
Insky group (www.Insky.cn)
 
101tfs
Erwin_Hans and others...
 
 
2. INSTALLATION
 
Just extract into your MOD folder, everything is thoroughly tested and 100% working!
 
 
 
3. A BIT ABOUT THIS VERY INTERESTING MACHINE(with help of wiki and other sources)
 
The J-10 is a multi-role combat aircraft capable of all-weather day/night operation.
J-10 was designed by the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute (CADI), a subordinate research institute of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAIC).
 
J-10 is aerodynamically unstable design, a digital quadruplex-redundant fly-by-wire flight control system aids the pilot in flying the aircraft. It features a full glass cockpit and is equiped with three MFD's providing the information to the pilot.
On top of that Pilot is aided by helmet-mounted display (HMD) system, making J-10 and even more dangerous modern dogfighter!
 
As for the electronics, J-10 is equiped with internal ECM suite which can be supplemented by active jammer pods such as the BM/KG300G carried externally on the aircraft's hardpoints. Additionally, the KZ900 signals intelligence (SIGINT) pod can be carried for reconnaissance missions.
 
It also packs a Chineese designed and produced IRST "Type Hongguang-I" which has a maximum range of 75 km.
 
Radar info I was looking for was not quite detailed so all I found out was this:
 
"CAC revealed that the J-10 is equipped with an indigenous fire-control radar featuring a mechanically slewed planar array antenna, capable of tracking 10 targets and engaging 2 (using semi-active radar-homing AAM) or 4 (using active radar-homing AAM) of them simultaneously. Possibly based on Russian or Israeli technologies, the radar is believed to be comparable to the early 1990s-era Western fighter radar designs. Alternatively the J-10 could be fitted with a range of fire-control radar introduced by Russian, Israeli, and European manufacturers on its export variant."
 
The engine J-10A is currently using is Lyulka-Saturn AL-31FN, it's pretty much the same thing as AL-31F only while F is meant for two engine use, FN is specifically set for single engine usage.
Later it is suspected that J-10 will use domestic WS-10A (WoShan-10A) Taihang turbofan engine giving a thrust of 129 kN
 
The aircraft's internal armament consists of a 23 mm twin-barrel cannon, located underneath the port side of the intake. Other weaponry and equipment is mounted externally on 11 hardpoints, to which around 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) of weaponry such as missiles and bombs, drop-tanks containing fuel and other equipment such as avionics pods can be attached.
 
A2A missiles:
 
PL-8 - basically this is Israeli Python3 missile so don't count on having it easy in combat with it especially since J-10A is highly manouverable
 
PL-11 - SAHM basically a copy of Italian ASPIDE missile which is in turn a version of AIM-7
 
PL-12 - a very nasty AHM missile comparable to AIM-120 and R-77
 
For more detailed info check:

Anyway in the end I seriously like this plane and Insky group made a really, REALLY good job on it so...enjoy

*****High Resolution PR ANW Terrain Tiles*****
by Brain32
 
 
This is a set of high resolution (1024x1024) tiles for America North West terrain. Installation is simple, just unrar all the *.BMP's into your ANW terrain.
Tiles were as usual made with help of satelite imagery, and are actually taken more from mid West USA than North West, but I think they still fit into general terrain idea.
Dont get too concerned with high resolution or the size of the tiles, ANW terrain has only 6 tile types so this mod will not have any performance impact whatsoever, I tested it personally under WOI on my aged system and it went super smooth.

===Mirrors Off mod for stock WOE/WOV flyable planes===
 
This mod removes mirrors from cockpits of all stock WoE/WoV flyable planes.
 
I made this because my system is not powerfull enough to run mirrors on top of everything else, so I'm stuck with empty, gray mirrors which serve no use except the pits looking more correctly so I decided to try and see how would it look without them so if you want to try...here it is.

This is a complete higher resolution(512x512) VietnamSEA tileset repaint with added trees.
ReadMe and Installation instructions are included in the file archive.
