Thanks for all offers to help with Cooling Towers. Sundowners Cooling Towers looks great, but they are a little bit to big in size. Finally i got the old Cooling Towers to work. My mistake was a simple typo in the types.ini. And so the target area around West Ham Powerstation in London looks now: At the moment i have switched off the smoke effect of the cooling towers. I'm not sure how much the effects will harm the fps rate, because there will be a lot of ground targets in London and when heavy dogfights will come .... I dont want to have slideshow.

Something for the bombers: Factory buildings around West Ham Powerstation in London. I need cooling towers for the powerplant. Unfortunatly the old ones, which i used for WoX terrains, does not work with SF2.

While my flight was on landing approach, Spitfires attacked us. The airfield Flak made a good job and shot down the Tommies.

I must correct my statement, that different skins for groundobjects are impossible. They are possible, but only in campaigns. For single missions it does not work. For using in a campaign you must edit the campaigns data.ini file. example: [GroundUnit014] GroundObjectType=T-54 UnitName=Polski 3. Pulk Czolgow ForceID=2 Nation=Poland DefaultTexture=Green <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This line defines the skin of the vehicles of this unit. Here: Green BaseArea=PQ76/22 RandomChance=100 StartObjects=100 MaxObjects=100 Experience=40 Morale=100 Supply=100 Intelligence=100 UpgradeType=NEVER [GroundUnit015] GroundObjectType=T-54 UnitName=Polski 4. Pulk Czolgow ForceID=2 Nation=Poland DefaultTexture=Camo1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This line defines the skin of the vehicles of this unit. Here: Camo1 BaseArea=PQ76/21 RandomChance=100 StartObjects=100 MaxObjects=100 Experience=60 Morale=100 Supply=100 Intelligence=100 UpgradeType=NEVER Of course you must have the skins Camo1 and Green for the vehicle. Interestingly in a campaign the insignias will not shown on the groundvehicles, but the tactical numbers and different skins are visible. For single missions insignias and tactical numbers are shown, but no different skins.

For ships it does not work. For groundobjects like tanks or so it was working in WOE. So i guess it should work in SF2 too. But this has to be tested. EDIT: Seems to be that i was wrong. The NATION in texture.ini does not work with ground objects. BUT it is possible to place insignias and numbers on the tanks. Screenshot: czech and polish T-54

In real life the Strela shooters were not using UAZ jeeps. They were part of the motorized infantry units. The shooters were placed on BTR or BMP vehicles as you see on following picture: Strela 2 on BTR-60 (SPW-60PB) during fire exercice at Zingst training ground near Baltic Sea. Strela 2 on BMP-1 during a parade.

AFAIK it is not possible to use the target editor with the original LOD based Iceland terrain made by TK. The other Iceland terrain, which is in the download section, workes fine with mue's target editor.

Shark attack training is a ridicolous methode to make soldiers. I think it is responsible for that american ground troops are underperforming if compared with other armies. Old german military wisdom "take the Amis their technical advantage and they are running like chickens, because their military trainers had already broken their backbones."

Fliegerhorst Beauvais Bomberplatz some scenery shots of Beauvais airfield:

Because the new made small rivers looked to naked without trees i started to plant some trees on the small river tiles. He-100D over the Somme river northwest of Amiens. BTW, i always thought that the famous Somme river would be a big river. But in reality it is a better creek. You can easily throw a stone over this tiny water.

Could be real. Sukhoi planes are usually really tough. I remember that an east german Su-22 had "eaten" their own pitot probe without harming the engine.

Fliegerhorst Abbeville (paved runways were made past Battle of Britain in November 1940)

Its a nice idea. Perhaps it is a possible solution of the problem.
