Perhaps this map could help.

In Germany this storm got the name "Sabine". Its the first heavy storm this year. But we had had much powerfull storms in the past years.

The town looks really cool. I love it. mandantory screenshot. MiG-21Kbis over the Kuril islands.

Here is a map of the rivers at polish territory as it is today. You need, from west to east, Oder/Odra, Warthe/Warta, Netze, Weichsel/Wisla, Narew, Bug, San, Memel/Njeman You already have, northern part of Oder and Warthe, most parts of Netze, Weichsel, Narew and Bug This is a map which shows the maximum expansion of Poland during soviet-polish war 1920/21. On polish territory you see the rivers of Warthe, Netze, Weichsel, Narew, Bug and San

Its more or less okay. You included the canal between rivers Weichsel/Wisla and Warthe. Its a very narrow waterway. But let it as it is. The correct positions of the rivers in west of modern Poland i marked in the screenshot. But they are not as neccessary for a soviet vs polish scenario, because in the 1920th they were mostly german rivers. Only for "Fall Weiss" scenario this area is needed.

Bye bye, Boris!

Ein Schritt nach dem anderen. Step by step. As usual in the last years i think a terrain would be an easy and fast job. Could be finished for X-mas And then it becomes bigger and bigger. And then comes in my mind: "X-mas okay! But which year?"

Seems to be the correct folder. Now make a screenshot from inside terrains folder. Perhaps there is something corrupted.

Just trying to implement an idea London Cityport (experimental tiles, not finished)

It seems to be the core installation. You must create a mod folder first. Follow the link to the knowledgebase: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/

Are the addon terrains in the correct folder?

The original MiG-21F, the plane with the two NR-30 guns, was intended to have only 30 rounds per gun. With the MiG-21F13 one gun was replaced. The space where the gun was, was now used for equipment which was needed for the AA-2 Atoll (aka R-3S, aka K-13) missile. The ammoload for the gun was increased to 60 rounds. The ammo of the MiG-21F and F-13 was belt feed. The belt was layed around the fuselage (of course under the skin). When the one gun was removed the space for the ammo belt of this gun became empty and was used to increase the lenght of the ammo belt for the other gun.

It very sad to see how big parts of Australia become victim of mega size forest fires. Its very sad. But always if i see the pictures i ask myself, wheter the firefighters do their job properly. I remember a day during my military duty time in East Germany. It happend during a shooting training in summer. It was hot and dry. One burst of tracer ammo missed the target and caused a fire. In astonishingly short time the fire became bigger and bigger and went out of control. Me and my comrades were orderd to fight the fire at all costs, with all what we had. And to be honest, we had not very much, only our small military spades, which we called Muckerlöffel or UB-1 which stand ironically for Universalbagger (universal excavator). We shoveling the hole day and we had no chance against the fire. The forest was lost. That all guys thought. No chance. But then, we heared tank engines and short afterwards 3 pionier tanks T-55TK arrived the area. Each tank was equipped with a dozer plate. The tankers said to us: "Nice try, but now look how the profis make it the right way." The drove back some hundred meters and started to make a path (glade) mid in the forest. It needed some time, but when they finished in the forest was a deep scar of pure soil, no tree, no plant, a scar as wide as a german Autobahn. Then the boss of the tankers came to us and asked who of us had match packages. Of course all of us had matches, because lighters were rare in East Germany. Then the officers stuck his finger in his mouth, checked from which direction the wind came, and then he gave us the order enemyward ( word by wort translation of "Feindwärts", what means the direction, where the enemy is, comarable with starboard and backbord on ships) of the paved glad to light small fires. We should make two steps, then light the gras, make two steps, light the gras and so on and so on. We started to burn down the forest, but in a controlled and slow way. Our "counter fire" had to crawl against the wind, so that it not was able to become big and fast. When the big, hot and fast forets fire reached the "defence line", our small fire had "eaten" all trees and plants, so that the big fire had no food anymore and broke down in a astonishingly short time. Mid next day the fire was out. We sacrificed a smaller part of forest to save the much bigger part. We fought fire with fire. And we won. In this summer in Germany was also a big forest fire which the firefighters were unable to handle. The smoke was to smell 500 km away. After some days, when the civil authorities acknoledged, that they were unable to stop the fire they asked the Bundeswehr for help. 2 or 3 days later the Bundeswehr pionier tanks started to fight the forest fire in the same way like in my military time. After 3 days the forest fire was defeated. Perhaps the Aussis should do it in the same way. Fight fire with fire. Edit. I forgot to post a picture of the east german pionier tanks. T-55TK. Its a very helpfull beast.

The Israelis rearmed and refueled their french made planes in 1967 war in under 5 minutes. East german ground crews needed comparable time for refueling and rearming MiG-21 during tests. In normal peacetime the turnaround time was around 20 minutes.

Cool idea. Such a hovering carriers we could use for a "Battleship Galactica" or "Star Wars" mod.

What do you think. Which tile is better for representing London? The grey one or the more red one?

Same was done in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beate_Uhse-Rotermund

Battle of Britan 2 "Operation Seelöwe" terrain. Recon mission. Target London. South of Canterbury heading north west. We are closing the estuary of river Themse. Flak fire and intercepted by Spitfires over London City. (Temporary tiles for the London parks) Escaped the Spits near Tower Bridge. Successfully escaped and now running home.

Sit rep: Terrain progress is going on. Its time to build streets.

There are Knowledgebases in this forum. There you find a lot of answers for your question.

Real life is much more important than anything else on computer.

"Alarmstart!!!"

Progress with the terrain is slower than expected. I have to change the tileset from bmp to jpg because the fps rate became to low.. Full squadron take off from airfield everywhere in northern France.

Dirty water in the engine. That means engine change and overhaul. Its a dirty and wet job. The mechanics will love it ;-)
