StructuralFactor=2000.0 is to big
I tried
StructuralFactor=100.0
with a standard carrier without removing anything and was able to sink it with 4 Mk.84 bombs.
-
Only an idea. Perhaps it will work
1.)Open carrier data ini
2.)look for
StructuralFactor=10000.0
3.)change it into
StructuralFactor=2000.0
-
First look into the targets.ini before you post wrong statements

I will start working on such a terrain.
-
There are 14 taiwanese SAM sites and 19 PRC SAM sites. If you have no or few SAM activity you should select "Heavy Air Defence" in the Single Mission selection screen. The other reason for few SAM activity is, that you fly in a year that is outside of the service time of SAM systems.
There are 3 carrier stations. One in the north, one in the middle of Formosa Strait, near Makung and the third carrier station is south west of Taiwan. All carrier station have one carrier, one cargoship and some destroyers as escord vessels. If you has other ships than the WOE standard you can included them easiely in the carrier groups.

In the book "Unternehmen Barbarossa" i found the theorie, that Hitlers attack on the USSR on 22. June 1941 was a pre emptive strike. The author wrote, that the Soviets had planned to engage Germany in July or August 1941.
Personally i believe, that this theory is rubbish.
But it would be interessting to make a campaign to see, wether the soviet attack on the german Wehrmacht would have been successfull or not. Groundobjects and planes we have for such a campaign, we only need a terrain.
Is there interesst in the community for such a terrain or is it not worth the effort?

In file Formosa v1.0.zip you find included the file GroundObject.zip.
Unzip this file into your objects.folder.
Should run.

Formosa Strait Terrain version 1.0
FORMOSA STRAIT TERRAIN
=====================
I.
Formosa Strait terrain is made for "Wings Over Europe" WOE.
With certain limitations you can use it in WOV, WOI and SFP1 too.
(See PS on bottom of this file.)
==============================================
II.
Formosa Strait Terrain covers the island of Taiwan, a part of the coastline of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and the Strait between which has different names like Formosa Strait, Taiwan Strait or Taiwanhaixia. All names i use are taken from an old german atlas and it seems to be that there are a lot of different transcriptions of chinese names in german or english language.
Formosa Strait Terrain is a nearly 100% terrain, what means, that the distances are not cut down to 60% as in the GermanyCE standard terrain.Certain differences are caused by warp while converting GOTOPO30 satellite height data into WOE format.
The position of the runways should be more or less correct, their direction is not always as in reality. The airfields themself are made by using variations of WOE standard airfileds and by using the 9 airfileds i made for Deutschland terrain.
Formosa Terrian has 233 target areas
this are
14 waypointdefinitions for panzer battles
2 missile bases (PRC)
6 coast defence missile batteries(PRC)
15 Bridges (PRC)
10 Bridges (Taiwan)
19 SAM sites (PRC)
14 SAM sites (Taiwan)
7 airfields (PRC)
15 airfields (Taiwan)
41 industrial targets in towns (PRC)
44 industrial targets in towns (Taiwan)
1 powerplant complex with 3 industrial areas (PRC)
1 power plant complex(Taiwan)
2 ports (PRC)
9 ports (Taiwan)
4 EWR (PRC)
5 EWR (Taiwan)
3 PRC Warship groups
4 taiwanese Warship groups
3 Carrier Battle stations
etc
To use Formosa Strait Terrain you should have installed a WeaponPack and western SAM.
You can fins HAWK SAM and WeaponPack at www.combatace.com
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
III.
INSTALLATION
1.)unzip all files into your Wings over Europe/Terrain folder
2.)unzip Groundobject.zip into your Objects folder.
(this file install modified versions of the SumnerFram2 destroyer and the Cargoship. It also install a Silkwork Anti Ship missiles launcher and chinese Panzers of the Types 59, 63, 69 and 80)
Thats it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IV.
I want to say thank you to Darreck for the Coolingtowers and Enrico Gennari for the files which i used to create the ports, which were originaly made for individual airbases which are available for SFP1 Deutschland terrain and WOE.
*******************************************
V.
Formosa Strait Terrain IS FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED.
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
VI.
Hope you enjoy it.

PS
Q: How i can get Formosa Strait Terrain running in WOV, WOI or SFP1
A:
1. Open file Formosa.ini
2. Look for line CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
3. Replace this line with:
for WOV: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
for WOI: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
for SFP1: CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
4. Download a WOE capable terrain replacement tileset via Internet. Such tilesets you can find at www.combatace.com
Limitations are caused by the fact, that certain objects which are standard in WOE (power plants, bridges) are not always included in WOV, WOI or SFP1.

Ye, this beast had had lift engines behind the cockpit.
-
For the E-8 i think it would be a must, but for your E-9 not.
-
Dont worry about my critics. My intention is to help.
-
Your E-8 has a curved belly, the real thing had a flat one.
-
Formosa terrain now with carrier battle groups.
Dont know why this american bastards are shooting on me:
-
The real E-8 taken from a russian web site
-
You should make the air intake section longer, so that it fit into the engine section.
-
This bird was called "Sotka". "Cost a hundret tons of gold" and was much to expensive.
-
Not Saphire-21 but Saphire-22. This radar was used first with MiG-21S and was used in MiG-23S.

Last weekend i released the Beta version 0.4 of Formosa terrain. I think it will be the last Beta. Now i'm working on the last steps to finish this project.
In the last days i included my 8 self generated germany airfields into Formosa. My aim it is to give each airbase a unique face. So all PRC air bases and 3 taiwanese are now finished and the last taiwanese bases i hope to finish this weekend. After this i will add some additionally Flak to some target areas. The last step will be to rename the WIP designation of some target areas.
I hope that Formosa terrain will be finished at the end of May or in the first week of June.
If someone has remarks or ideas what i could improve Formosa terrain. then post it here please.
-
I'm playing again with the BoB terrain files. I think the fighter bases need a rework. Really satisfied i was never with it.
-
Ye-8 is very welcome.

I think "Lock On" is a nice sim of soviet birds. And with the last patches "Battle of Britain 2 Wings of Victory" has become a very nice WW2 flight sim.
