  2. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I think with 500 tod objects per tile you are on the safe side. Maybe 700 will also run. But this must tested.
  7. I found an other Eiffel Tower lod on my harddrive. And to be honest: it's ugly:
  8. Right now I'm thinking about which project to start next. I have 4 in mind. 1) Poland 2) Borderwar between China and Vietnam in 1979 3) version of Battle of Britain terrain for the 1960th or 70th 4) Diego Garcia Poland is an area with a lot of possible scenarios. World War 2 in 1939 and 1945, a possible Warsaw Pact invasion in 1981, a modern Suwalki Gap scenario, or a hypotetical what if the former german province Ostpreussen would have become the homestate of the jews: Israel in Central Europe. China and Vietnam Borderwar is an interesting scenario, because both sides have similar planes and weapons, so that only the skill of the player decides of an outcome of an air battle. I like the idea very much. "Modern" Battle of Britain terrain has two major possible scenarios. One: The Soviets have taken control over France and UK is in the same situation as 1940, but with other enemy. Two: A conflict between the European Community and UK, a scenario with its own flair, because blue vs blue and to be honest true friends the Brits and the French never were. Diego Garcia. Its an other naval map with one base on an island and carrier operations.
  9. 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.
  10. It's a new tower. But new is relative. I have it since 2005 on my harddrive, but never used before.
  11. 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.
  12. L-410UVP-T Turbolet
  13. Each east german MiG had had their own unique camo sceme.
  15. MiG-21F-13 over the Baltic Sea.
  16. German carrier operations with A-4 Skyhawk and Convair 201
  17. Elephant walk.
  18. Recon run over Sark island.
  19. The captured F-5E Tiger during soviet flight evaluation. And for the guys who dont believe, that the Soviets had one:
  22. Here the libyan view: https://warisboring.com/the-libyans-describe-a-different-version-of-their-1981-battle-with-the-u-s-navy/ It comes from a book by Tom Cooper Libyan Air Wars, Volumes 1 & 2.
  23. The R-13M, Advanced Atoll, had not had a head on capability. It never had, not even under optimal conditions. The first soviet all aspect AAM was the late R-60 (AA-8 Aphid). If you read the american story of this dogfight you will find, hat the libyan Su-22 fired the missile at a range of 300 meters or less. This is deep in the so called "dead zone", also the distance were the missile is not guided and is flying only ballistically. The "dead zone" of a R-3S is 1.000 - 1.500 meters, the R-13M had a dead zone of 600 to 800 meters. In this zone the missile will hit nothing. And the pilots knew it very well. So it is doubtfull, that the fight happend so, as it is publicated in western media. The Libyans tell another story. They say, that the Su-22 came in the back of a F-14 pair and fired one missile, which hit one F-14. They showed this photo as evidence: This photo is not an evidence of a kill, but only of a hit. Maybe the Tomcat was only damaged and made it back to the carrier. The Libyans admit to have lost two Su-22 at this day. They say, that six F-14 were vectored toward the Sukhois to save the attacked Tomcat pair. And this six F-14 shot down the Sukhois.
  24. The R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) was a tail chaiser, not a all-aspect weapon. It was unable to lock on an incoming plane. Same with AIM-9B. No chance to lock on incoming planes. All changes, which make them all-aspect are unrealistic.
  25. Small discussion between Rebels and imperial Forces.
