Finally some words:

The F-16A arab nations is my thank you for Team Viper who made the most job for this bird. I only gave them the colors of the egyptian and jordan air forces and tweaked it a little bit, so that they now flying for the red side. I also played a little bit with the cockpit data and made finaly a new loading screen. But without the great skills of Team Viper F-16A arab nations would never have born.

And here the names of the guys who made the most of the job (99%):

Original Model by Swede

Additional Model Work by Wpnssgt

Flight Model by Column5

Skins by Wpnssgt & USAFMTL

F-16 Cockpit (BETA) by Wpnssgt

Israel terrain covers the territory of Israel, the Sinai Penisula, the most part of the Nil Delta, Soth Lebanon, West Syria and West Jordan.

Israel terrain v 1.5

I decided to make some new tiles for Israel terrain. An Oasis that Camels have something to drink in the desert, Snow for the Mt Hermon and the highest Mountains of Lebanon and vegetation for the hills in north Israel and the Lebanon.

I also included the most aditional targetareas which i had made for Suez terrain for instance Radio Kairo, Radio Tel Aviv, Ports of Ashquelon, Ashdod, Netanya, Industy sites at Haifa, Tel Aviv, Gizeh, Helwan, Zifra, El Kubra etc.

To get the big explosion on destruction of Dimona Nuclear Reactor you need a nuke effect.

Hope you enjoy it

Some work i have invest into BoB terrain. There are now more terrain tiles. A railway network is now visible on the map and during flight. You will find railwaystations in London and some other towns in England. Trains have to come. Perhaps one guru can make such nice moving trains like in EAW. This is far beyond my abilities.

In BoB terrain v1.1 i have included some objects Polak sent me. This are barrage ballons which you will find on the map to protect the british industry and port facilities. And some famous London buildings. (Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace etc.)

For London i made tiles for the Regents Park, the Hydepark, and St James Park, so that the area around House of Parliament now looks from air a little bit more like City of London.

As suggestet i used also the terrain buildings file from EuroWW2 terrain which i modified a little bit, to get some of the red brickstone houses which i saw during a holiday visit in London some years ago.

Finaly i included the darker Sea and grey town tiles made by Charles.

Thanks to all who supported me with files, ideas, critics.

Charles City and Sea repaint.

This tileset based on an idea of Charles Gunst who mentioned, that the cities in europe are more gray instead brown. He send me a gray repaint of the city tiles and a darker sea tileset. I made some refinement work and now it is ready for release.

Thanks for the idea and to good cooperation, Charles.

DRV terrain version 1.5 had two minor bugs. One is a tree which is places middle in the water near the rivermouthes and the second bug is that in Da Nang area some tiles are missing. Version 1.51 corrected the bugs. If you already have DRV version 1.5 you can update it to version 151 with this file.

An updated version of DRVv1.5 without the tree in the water bug and a Da Nang area without missing tiles.

A green camoflaged MiG-21F13 for the North Vietnamese Air Force.

MiG-21PF, isdelije (type) 76. The successor of MiG-21F-13. Had Radar, but no internal gun, no gunpod. Armament 2 air to air missiles, unguided rockets, unguided bombs. Fuel tank on centerline hardpoint.

Zip file contains 3 silver MiG-21PF. Egyptian Air Force, Syrian Air Force, Soviet Air Force.

Screenshot shows the egyptian and the soviet PF.

The arab planes have arab bordnumbers.

This MiG-21PFM is a modificated version which was given in Oct 1973 from East Germany to syria to replace losses during the Yom Kippur war. This east german birds were able to carry the Monsun dubble launch rail for air to air missiles, so hat they could carry 4 instead 2 R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) missiles. Further improvements were the radar warning reciever Sirena and the self sealing tanks in the wings.

The file contains 2 skins. A hastly oversprayed sand color one and one sand green one.

tactical numbers are completly in arabic numbers.

This is a north vietnamese MiG-21PFM skin. Based on green bottled skins which the DRV used during vietnam war.

This is a green MiG-21MF skin for the north vietnamese Air Force.

This is the Rolling Thunder Campaign for SFP1. Based on the WoV Rolling Thunder Campaign.

This is a railway station for DRVv1.4.

Should also run with WoV.

This zip file contains 2 MiG-17 skins, a grey one and a green brown one.

This is the Korat airbase made by Armourdave of the original Vietnam team. All hounor belongs to him, not to me. He gave me the permission to include Korat AB into my DRV terrain and i want to say thank you for it. The base is a nearly 100% copy of the big US base during the vietnam war. And it looks very excellent.

The only weak point is, that you cant destroy single objects of the base, but, i think this is no real problem, because the US bases in Vietnam war were never attacked by vietnamese airforce.

This is the terrain of Israel, and its neighbour contries in the borders of 1949 to 1967. it is intended for Campaigns or single missions in the time between Suez Crisis and 6 days war.

The newest version of SFP1 enabled watereffects. So i decided to make BoB terrain compatible with this new effect.

other changes:

- new city tiles, to improve the look of the terrain

- included the river Seine in France

- the terrain is now hilly, not more flat as before

Version v1.01

This is a minor update to fixe some problems and include a few new features.

I also included a little Campaign written for Deutschland terrain.

Campaign Oktoberaufstand 1956/Octoberrevolution 1956

It is a fictional campaign based on the idea, what could had been happen if the revolution in Hungary 1956 would have found a replica in East Germany.

To fly this campaign you need following additional planes:

* F-86F

* F-84F

* F-84G

* MiG-15bis

INSTALLATION:

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

Open Deutschland terrain update to v1.01.zip.

Unzip all files of Deutschland terrain v1.01.zip into your Deutschland folder.

Unzip all files of Campaign Oktober_1956 for Deutschland terrain.zip into your campaign folder.

Version 1.0

This is the first release of Deutschland terrain. It is freeware and intended as stop gap filler till "Wings over Europe" will be available outside the USA.

It is made for SFP1, but can also used for WOV.

*In comparision to beta v 0.75 i included some more ground tiles (Towns at rivers, 3 new tiles) The map is reworked a little bit.

*The Rhine Valley between Koblenz and Bingen is now flowing more or less into the valley and not more over the hills. It is not perfect, but much better than before. (23 new tiles) It is a funny place for hedgehopping. In a further update i will include the castles for which the Rhine Valley is famous for.

*The number of target areas is now 248 instead 186 in Betav0.75.

*New targets are civil ports in the GDR and the FRG, Antenna fields in the GDR. 2 naval bases in the East and one in the West (At this place i want to say thank you Capun and Mike Whl who gave me the permission to use their Osa and Koni ships as static targets)

*I placed some ponton complexes on the map (Again thank you to Polak, who mad the pontons originally for my Israel terrain)

*West Germany got a SAM defence

*additional east german Industry is added

*some big barrack complexes are placed at the map, including one of the longest buildings in the world Prora which you will find near the big eastern bay at island of Rügen

*The CoolingTowers of the powerplants now have smoke. (Thanks to Darreck for the CoolingTowers) The smoke is not yet perfect (The exhaust time is to short) But i hope that this problem can be solved.

*I found some bugs, like the Hawk launcher or Shilkas at the runway and solved the problem. Some files for troubleshooting you find in the subfolder "Special" in Deutschland folder

With this release of Deutschland terrain this terrain is far away to be complete. Germany is a so heavy populated contry that the number of target areas could be increased to 1000 or 10.000 and you would not have all possible targets.

I have concentrated my work on the east of Germany, the former GDR. I also invested a lot of time in the northern part of West Germany and the Rhine Valley, the former FRG. Bavaria and Thuringia are nearly untouched. You see, there is still a lot to do.

If you have remarks or comments, please post it at SimHQ forum or Combatace forum.

Finally i want to say thank you to all who supported Deutschland terrain with files and hints. And of course a big thank you to TK and his team for the development of the SFP1

sim family.

I hope you enjoy Deutschland terrain
