SpinyNorman, Go back into the Vogesen_Data.ini and scroll down till you see [Texture001], [Texture002], etc, etc. Each one has a parameter "HeightMapScale=********* " . Some say =10.00000 and some say =5.00000. Make all =0.00000 That will fix the ground level problem.

Open the Vogesen DATA.ini I think it should look like this for the Height Field. Been awhile since I had to do this. [HeightField] DetailScale=5.0 DetailFrequency=1.0 MaxHeight=1000 MinHeight=0

I use the Vogesen Terrain by gepard for my Austria-Italy campaigns. I have placed many targets all over the place. Balloons, AAA, vehicles, Infantry, artillery, etc, etc. The front (in some places) is full of life. I've even added a lot to the airfields. But!, it does take awhile via the "Targets.ini" . But well worth it. I've even put the "crashed aircraft.lods" as seperate objects in the terrains' "Types.ini" to create crash sites with emergency vehicles, smoke, and destroyed infantry.lods for , sorry to say, dead crew. Technically your "Ambulance" vehicles for airraid sirens would also create the ambient sounds. The sirens are just the "Gun" sound and the ambient is the "Movement" sounds. BTW great idea for the sounds with Stephens infantry! I'm off to do that now! Just a cool pic of the Italian Front

Thats great! I'll give it a try. Bravo SpinyNorman! Such an easy thing to do too. I've place a vehicle w an ambient sound at two locations on every airfield. When taking off and landing (with engines off) I can here the birds chirping and a light wind. Even some crickets in the grass. Very cool effect! That with the sirens and bells for airraids makes FE2 soo much better. It really comes alive.

The orange and yellow one

Not yet But on the list. Do you want one in particular? or just generic?

Does anyone have the weather changing in FE2 campaigns? I know I have all the parameters correct in my campaigns, but the only "weather" that appears is the one I have set as "StartWeather=SCATTERED" for all missions. I cant remember if this option was excluded from FE2 or not.

I figured it just wasnt in the programinf for FE2. And it never will be either....too bad. Why did they even take it out in the first place????? Thanks guys

I got the same thing. Maybe there is a "Detection" problem when the object " Ambient Sound" starts in the opposing territory?

I've been trying to get and Enemy object (like the truck) to make the Ambient sound. I've created Enemy and friendly trucks just like the EntenteAmbulance and German Ambulance. Placed them at their opposing airfields via the terrains "Targets.ini". But no sounds. The objects appear, and I have a gun named "AmbientSound" in the Gun folder and AmbientSound in the sound folder. Along with the Sound.ini. The "Enemy" truck named "Ambientsound" should detect the Friendly aircraft at the Friendly airfeild and start firing some Ambient sound at them, but they dont. Has someonelse tried this yet. Its kind of hard to explain here. BTW, Andy73's sound are great. They work well w FE. Thanks Andy73

I forgot about those N28's. I've been working on Austria-Italy stuff only for a long time. I'll see what needs to be done with them next week

Well for the life of me I cant figure out the TE. And none of the "Terrain" people are willing to make a Northern Italy terrain. So, I will just use the Vogesen terrain and re-name the locations and airfields. Many new skins for it too

Absolutely Awsome! I've been trying to do that for years. The airfields sound so cool now with all the AAA I've placed and now sirens and bells! I never thought of creating a new "Gun" for the Sirens. Bravo! Now I will create some Ambient sounds for the airfields such as distant explosions, plane engines starting up, and even birds chirping. So many options now. You could add a friendly vehicle at an enemy base for the "Siren" effect so that it would activate at takeoff and landing. But using the new "ambient sound". Now I have to try it out! I'll post a video when I get this together. Spiny....one very cool effect, made my day!

Watch this little video and keep your eye on the lower formation in the distance. One in a million flak hit. My Movie.wmv

I've had it for a few years now. Cant remember what download it was from. But I did get it from here in the FE download section under "Sounds Mods". There are a lot of great sound mods in there too. Try a bunch of them.

It's not perfect I know but I just couldnt work on it anymore! Too frustrating to get every stripe to line up all around the fuselage. Have a look at the .bmp's (converted to Jpeg to post)

I did this one last year, or actually 2 years ago, for FE. Was a really a big PITA! But was worth it in the end. BTW it was an Albatros D.III OAW said to be flown by Oblt. Josef Loeser of Jasta39.

These are seasonal tiles from Stary's Terrain upgrade. These work w Stephen1918's Galicia terrain. True that they are not needed for his campagin but are good to use in singles missions.

Thought some of you would like this one. I do. www.modelairplanenews.com/blog/2012/08/07/martin-irving-and-his-awesome-aviatik-wvideo/

I did the same. I used Stary's tiles too. They fit perfectly with Stephen's tile selection.

That same bird flew over my house yesterday. I'm in Rockland County NY. Not far from Essex

You have been a busy bee my friend. You do work fast! I'm trying to get all the Eastern front aircraft situated in my "Eastern Front" install along w all the ground objects too. This is a very cool addition to FE. Does any other sim have a WWI Eastern Front? Awsome Stephen1918! Thanks a lot

I manually place ground objects like the infantry via the Terrains' "Targets.INI" They are just stationary. . Kind of a time consuming PITA. But worth it in the end. But They do show up at random for Armed recon type missions. I did just drop them into my main Ground Objects folder. Sometimes large groups of German troops march toward British infantry firiring away. Pretty cool to watch. But sometimes they show up shooting at tanks! Lets just say the infantry doesnt last long.

It leaves a pit in my stomach. There is nothing that can be done for those families. Children were killed. Just horrible.....horrible!
