Have seen the Puma the first time, some month after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when a Puma of the Bundesgrenzschutz visited our Helicoper Base in Nordhausen. (I think it was in early spring 1990). The Puma crew tried to make a show of force, to show us, how fast and agil their helicopter was. But to be honest, our Mi-8 were better, faster, more agile. And the Puma was no comparision to the Mi-24.

If you are not prepared for that kind of weather, than it is bad.

What do you think about this: Base Aérea Militar Río Gallegos I dont know why the Argentinians need a 4.000 meters runway. Have they an own Shuttle to land it there or was it an emergency runway for the american Shuttle program, like Templin in East Germany was it for the soviet Buran?

Happy new year friends!!!

I wrote in the ReadMe the links to Mues Toolbox and TK's Terraineditor. In the terrain you find the folder Tileset with the file IslandNATexturelist. Should help.

View File Feuerland - Tierra del Fuego Feuerland alias Tierra del Fuego terrain 1.0 ***************************************************************************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I or SF2V. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: This terrain covers the south of South America and is focused on Tierra del Fuego. The timeframe of the terrain is from 1960 to 2030 It is a two nations map: Argentina and Chile. It is made as a NavalMap so that you can fly carrier missions against Chile. You can fly following missions: SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,ARMED_RECON The terrain works best in a separate South America installation, otherwise you will find a lot of soviet planes and FLAK. How to do a separate installation please look in the SF2 Knowledgebase in CombatAce forum. It is a fast made terrain with some issues: I have not checked the coastline, so you will surely find "water climbing the hill". The very most target areas are only populated with 1 warehose and 1 Flak. The complete area north of Tierra del Fuego i have not touched. The tileset i took from IslandNA terrain, which is outdated by todays standards.

Planning Map: 3 argentinian airbases, 2 chilean airbases All target areas on Tierra del Fuego: Some screenshots of Porvenir Airport, Chile Here the small argentinian airfield Tolhuin (i hope that is correct) This base i made a little bit longer than in reality. Otherwise the planes were unable to take off from this base. I also had to be creative with the take off positions of the planes. I hope, that i can release it till tomorrow. At the moment i'm on testing the terrain. Known issues: I have not checked the coastline, so you will surely find "water climbing the hill". The very most target areas are only populated with 1 warehose and 1 Flak. The complete area north of Tierra del Fuego i have not touched. The tileset i took from IslandNA terrain, which is outdated by todays standards. (256x256 pixel tileset instead modern 1024x1024) It is a first and quick try to make the terrain. It is completly operational, but need a lot of work to finish it (New tileset, checking the long coastlines, populating the target areas .....)

Could be difficult. The AI can not really handle airfields situated in narrow valleys. The planes tend to crash into the mountains.

Ushuaia Airport (left) and Ushuaia Naval Air Station (right) Only the Airport is made operational in game. I doubt, that the AI can handle the mountains north of the Naval Air Station, thatwhy it is made only as eyecandy. The runway of the airport is shorter than in real life, but otherwise it would not fit.
