Try this, its included in this file.

Hawk SAM is already available.

Desert.cat contains only a desert tileset. I Think in AmericaNW you has a own tileset. The shoreline is not effected by desert.cat. It depends from the tileset.

For what do you need nukes? Nukes are only usefull for impotent blockheads.

Who killed von Richthofen?

A bullit, this is sure. Who fired it? In Germany it is common to think it was groundfire. But perhaps he was hidden by a plane. Who know.

This was the stupid way to fight in WW1. No way of advanced tactics, only one big unit and all did the same the leader did. Stupid, but historical correct.

The far mountains are also on my computer white or light grey. I have an ATI X850XT.

I think this graphic card was no good choise.

In the final version of Vogesen terrain i will include a briefing map with the names of the towns. Till this moment you will need a map of the Elsass. ;-)

Do you has tried fly under one of the WOV bridges? If so, i could ask TK wheter i can use a WOV bridge in Vogesen terrain.

Or someone else of the mod builders would made a new bridge.

If you mean townnames on the briefing maps, this would be possible. But townnames on the map during flight is impossible.

All NATO combat planes have this arrestor hook. It is part of the NATO emergency landing system.

THe WP used a different system, the so called MiG-Catcher. This is a big net, relative comparable with the US Carrier barrier net for emergency landings on carriers.

Hi Bandy,

unfortunalty I'm no model builder. But i could look into my file library. Perhaps i will find an other bridge to fly "Blue Max" stylish.

Upload a small terrain for testers at combatace. It must still approved and then you can download it.

Lets see what i can do for you.

Jug, i must correct your statement. It was no MiG-27 that did it, it was a MiG-23MF. It started in Kolobrzeg (Kolberg) Air Base in Northwest Poland crossed the GDR and the FRG and made a crash landing in Belgium killing one man there. The bird crashed after consuming its last bit of fuel. There was no fire on the ground, only a MiG that sat in a destroyed small house.

Not only the US Eagles monitored the fly of the MiG-23, but also soviet and east german MiG's, which also got no permission to open the fire.

The incident happend not in the landing phase, it happend during start without afterburner. The drag chute was accidently deployed and the MiG began to stall. The pilot ejected thatswhy. But shortly after it the drag chute was burned and the autopilot of the MiG leveled the plane. It climbed to approx. 10.000 meters and headed westward till the fuel was out.

It happend in summer 1989.

Try recon missions with radom set enemy air activity. Always if i fly with DVIIF twinformation i get opposition of 6 to 12 Spads and SE-5's. It real hard work to survive such a mission without crashing into the hills or shooten down.

My first terrain made for FE is now available for download here at combatace. It is still a Beta version, but i think dogfighting over and between the hills of the vogesen mountains is already very nice.

***************************************

The Vogesen, in french Vosges, are a mountain ridge along the former french german border. It devided the Elsass (Alsace) from Lothringen. The Elsass was till 1648 german, from 1648 to 1871 french and became german again in 1871. When the great war broke out french armies tried to attack from Fortress Belfort in direction of Mühlhausen (Muhlhouse), but had no real success. Also along the hills of the Vogesen mountains the war was hard and bitter. The german soldier fought here on german soil to defend the civilists in the Elsass lowlands, very often only some steps away from the last hills from where you have a beautifull look over the towns and villages.

Very hard were the fights around the hill Hartmannsweilerkopf (Hartmannswillerkopf).

I gave the towns and villages their old german names, to represent the time of the great war. This is not expression of desires of revanche which poissend the relations between germans and french since the french engagement during the 30 years war (1618 - 48). I'm glad that this bitter times are over and germans and french call friends each other.

Vogesen Terrain is still a Beta. Only the southern part of the terrain is finished. The most airfields are also not yet finished.

My work in Progress is the Vogesen Terrain, the area from the Swiss Border up to Metz, including Elsass Lothringen. Its in an early development phase.

I know Edward has Flandern Terrain on the board and it is 60% done.

Unique and very safe for the pilots. Had an astonishing armour for its time

terrain building is time consuming. Be a little bit patient. There will come something.

At the moment i'm not sure wheter i will find the time for a WW1 mod of my BoB terrain. But i think it could happen.

I think it runs now.

I uninstalled the game again, then i made a completely new installation.

Then i tried it again, but now with graphics set only to medium and now it seems to be a stable game.

It pity, that i cant use the high graphic quality, but i think better a lower quality and a stable game than in opposite game.

Thanks for all advices.

Dagger, i have a clean installation of FE, no mods. I guess it could be a graphic card related problem. I have a Radeon X850XT.

When the problem appered the first time it always happend on german planes. Perhaps the game engine hates german planes ;-)

Now it becomes funny. The computer freezes now not more after crash, but if i press ALT+N after accomplished mission. Strange!
