Nice mountainsides you also find at Formosa Strait terrain in the east of Taiwan.

I had started to write a MiG-21 book some years ago, but an other author was faster and offered his manuscript to the publishing house, while i was still on writing. Bad timing.

A parked plane middle on the runway is a sign, that one of the parking positions in the airfield.ini is wrong. It's the terrainbuilders fault. Mandatory screenshots: Belgian Thunderstreaks over the English Channel.

A black plane means, that there is no texture file available. Often the LOD need a jpg file and only a bmp file is in the texture folder.

I think with 500 tod objects per tile you are on the safe side. Maybe 700 will also run. But this must tested.

I found an other Eiffel Tower lod on my harddrive. And to be honest: it's ugly:

I think that there is a limited number for TOD objects, that are accepted by the gameengine. The others are simply ignored by the game and will not appear. I saw this behaviour of the game when i tried to set to many trees on the tile. With buildings, i think, it's the same.

It's a new tower. But new is relative. I have it since 2005 on my harddrive, but never used before.

Strange thing. I placed an Eiffel Tower on the map, mid in Paris. In game it does not appear. Then i placed it at Paris Le Bourget airport over a hangar, for orientation reasons. Again the Eiffeltower is not visible in game. Then i flew my test plane exactly over the said hangar and the plane collided with the invisible Eiffeltower. One of the strange miracles of SF2 world.
