Kashmir TERRAIN
=====================
 
Kashmir terrain is made for WOE.
=========================
 
This terrain is made as part of the tutorial "My way to create a terrain" which you can find in the Knowledge Base of Combatace Forum.
This terrain is full operational, but not finished. If someone want to use it as basic for making a full developed India vs Pakistan terrain, so feel free to use this terrain.
As i have promised you will find 3 airbases and 3 industrial target areas for each side. I have installed one shipping line, 2 truck convoi routes and 2 panzer battle routes.
I put in the Texturelist and the Citieslist, so that you has all neccessary files for further work with the Terrain editor.

MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
 
In the late 60th the soviet frontline aviation demanded a longer range MiG-21 for primary use as carrier for tactical nuclear weapons to the central european war theatre.
The MiG-OKB choosed the MiG-21SM as basic for the development and simply enlarged the backfueltank, so that now the internal fuel amount climbed to 2.950 litres (2.400 lbs). The new bird was called MiG-21SMT. The T stands for "topliwo", what means "fuel".
All SMT were prepared for the nuclear strike role.
Only a relative small number of SMT's were built. They served mostly as dedicated nuc carriers at airfields in the GDR (east germany)
 
**********************************************
MiG-21SMT for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits
**********************************************
While making the MiG-21SMT i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files!
 
The plane itself:
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Model and skin by TK
 
The backfueltank
~~~~~~~~~~
Model is by TK
 
The Cockpit

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.

MiG-23PF Fishtail-C Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II.
Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.

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

MiG-29 skin east german air force (LSK/LV)
 
This skin is fiction, but based on the original skins used by the LSK/LV end of the 80th.
Each east german combat aircraft had a unique camouflage scheme. The bord numbers (tactical number) were red 3 digit. For camouflage reasons a 1 was painted before the tactical number. The tactical number was also places at the tips of the fins. There the color of the numbers was white.

Afghanistan Terrain Preview
========================
 
I.
AFGHANISTAN Terrain IS MADE FOR WINGS OVER ISRAEL (WOI) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This package is a work in progress preview. It should allow you a short view into this project. It is far away to be finished. Also, dont worry if you find bugs.
 
***************************************
II.
From December 1979 till now Afghanistan is a land in war. Soviets, Dushmans, Mudjahedin, Warlords, Taliban and Americans (OEF) destroyed the once florish land nearly completly.
 
-At the moment i have only 2 airbases operational as skeleton airfields. They still have to be finished.
-The terrain is only made between Bagram and Jalalabad. There you will find Taliban pockets of resistance.
- Missions which can be flown are CAS, Armed Recon, Recon, Strike,SEAD
-Air to air missions are impossible, because no taliban airfield is set (as historical correct)
 
-I recommend a seperate installation of WOI for Afghanistan terrain. The new nations.ini would otherwise make trouble with other terrains. (I set all nations = friendly, only Afghanistan= Enemy
So you can fly for the Soviets and the OEF troops( USA,UK,NL etc) against the same Enemy)
You can delete not needed planes (for instance Mirages) and groundobjects (SAM, Radar,most tanks etc) and you can include needed planes, like the Mi-24 or the A-10 more easily.

============================================

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

SUEZ 2 TERRAIN Version 2.0
*************************
 
Suez 2 terrain is a version of my Israel2 terrain with the borders pre 1967 Six Days War and with enhanced tilesset. The main difference between Suez 2 and Suez terrain is, that Suez 2 is now sized nearly correct, while Suez terrain size was only 60% of real. The number of target areas is increased from 94 to 346. New areas with targets are the Golan heights and the Westbank.
In Suez 2 terrain you will find Lebanon as neutral contry, Syria is holding the Golan heights, Jordan is owner of the Westbank and Egypt rules the Sinai and the Gaza strip.
The SAM fence along the Suez Canal is not installed, because it was built between 1970 and 1972. Only some point defence SAM you will face over the Sinai, close to Kairo and near Beni Suef Airbase.
Suez2 terrain is more smooth than Israel2 terrain. If you want to have the same roughness like in Israel2 terrain simply copy files Israel2.hfd into Suez2 folder and rename it into Suez2.hfd.

This are 3 skins for Paskos MiG-15bis and are basing on the original skins of Pasko.
They represent 3 soviet Fighter Divisions who operated in 1951 over the MiG-Alley. In 1951 all MiG-15 units painted their MiG-15 with red high visibility markings to avoid misidentifications with F-86 Sabre. The markings of the units were different. All common was the red nose,but the size of the red area was different. Also the paintings on the tail were different. Some units had, other had not red tails.
The bord numbers were first 4 digit , later 3 digit. The color of the bord number was black, but also blue and red numbers were seen over Korea.
I used the black in this package, but if you want to have red numbers, feel free to change it.
The Units:
The 151. IAD fought only 4 weeks in February, lost 6 MiG's and shot down 36 US planes.
The 324.IAD was commanded by Col. Iwan Koshedub. Fough from March 1951 to January 1952. Lost 24 MiG's and shot down 215 enemy planes. Top ace was Jewgeni Pepeljajew with 19 Kills (16 confirmend by US sources).
303.IAD fought from April 1951 to February 1952. It was commanded by Col. Lobow. Top ace was Nikolai Sutjagin with 21 kills (14 confirmend by US sources). The 303.IAD shot down 302 enemy planes and lost 49 MiG-15.

New Airbases for SFP1 / WOE
v. 3.0
*************************
1: This is an update of version 2.0 to make the airfields compatible with the October 08 patch.
The other rason to make a new version is that Capun requested to remove his files from this mod. Thats pity, because his static aircrafts were a nice feature of my airfields.
 
****************************************
2. This is the release of the 10 new airbases for WOE.
The bases are:
GDR (East Germany) Drewitz
Holzdorf
Marxwalde
Preschen
Trollenhagen
Zerbst
FRG (West Germany) Ahlhorn
Büchel
Hopsten
Pferdsfeld
 
All bases i made by using satellite pictures to place the groundobjects to become a look that is similar to the original airbases.
 
 
***************************************
3. INSTALLATION instruction:
 
Be carefull! Backup of your _targets.ini and _types first!
 
1. Unzip all files into your Terrain/GermanyCE folder.

Version 1.4
 
After a long periode of silence i thought, that BoB terrain was dead. BoB was forgotten. But then i found the BoB Campaign at www.combatace.com and it was a great campaign for my forgotten terrain. Then the campaign builders contacted me and this was the kickstart for me to improve BoB terrain again.
- I updated some terraintiles. Mostly the cities, the villages and the airfields.
-Then i invested some time in making target areas in France. You find now industrial targets in Paris and other french towns. Some new airfields i added and i made the Port of Brest.
- The Convoys are made by Steven for his BoB Campaign. I added them in my terrain too, after a very small modification.
- there are now 229 target areas, this are 65 more as in Version 1.3.
- german fighter bases (Fliegerhorst) also got a new face.
 
I tested the terrain as intensive as i could and found no bugs. If you find bugs, then please contact me via PM at SIMHQ Forum or at COMBATACE Forum.
 
Finally i want to say thank you to all guys who supported me in building this terrain with files and hints.

Battle of Britain terrain

The MiG-27K was originally intended as attack plane of the soviet carriers of the Orel class. In the 70th the Orel was a high ranking aircraft carrier project of the Soviet Navy (Project 1153 if i remember right). It was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
The MiG-27K was build in 2 or 3 prototypes and were tested at the Saki facility (Crimea Penisula).
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
differences to stock MiG-27:
* modified flightmodel of the plane to improve the handling.
* added capability to land on aircraft carriers
* added some armour, so that the MiG-27 now can survive MG fire
* added on board jammer
* added 15 flares and 15 Chaff
* added Magos great MiG-21F cockpit (thanks for it Mago!)
* plane can now fly intercept and CAP missions

Orel was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
For soviet carrier groups the MiG-23 was the planned interceptor, the MiG-27 the intended strike plane. From both types prototypes were built, as far as i know, and were tested at the Saki facility at the Crimea penisula. With the canceling of the Orel was no need for seria production of the MiG-23MK.

MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 Sturmovik Fulcrum
 
*************************************
HISTORY of MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 development
*************************************
 
The MiG-29 is well known as an very spectacular fighter plane. From its first appearance on an airshow in the late 80th till today the MiG-29 is the star of each airshow.
 
Much less well known is the genisis story of this bird. It begann in 1972 when the Soviet Airforce demanded two new fighter designs. One long range escort plane and a frontline fighter. The MiG OKB decided to take on the competition and begann with the development of the project Isdelije 9.
3 variants of this plane were projected. Isdelije 9.10 as long range escort, is. 9.11 as frontlinefighter with MiG-23 avionics and armament for export and faster introduction into the soviet forces and finally the is. 9.12 as full scale frontline fighter.
In 1973 is. 9.10 was canceled because the Air Force choose the Sukhoi T-10 as long range escort fighter. In 1977 9.11 was canceled when it became obviesly that the Saphir-23 Radar does not fit into the MiG-29 fuselage. So is. 9.12 became the only MiG-29.
In 1982 the first MiG-29 (9.12) came to the units and already while the troop tests the pilots had 3 big demands. 1. more fuel for longer range. 2. an internal jammer. 3. a better air to ground capability.
To fullfill this requirements OKB MiG started the projects is. 9.13 (more fuel and jammer) and 9.14 (jammer and better air to ground capability)
9.13 development started in 1983. The fuselagetank No.1 was increased and the Berjoza jammer was installed.To have space for it in the fuselage the MiG-29 got a bigger back. From 1986 this plane was seen in the soviet fighter units. The NATO gave them the name Fulcrum-C, for the soviets it was still a MiG-29A (is. 9.13)
The development of the 9.14 was more difficult. The MiG-29 was from beginning a frontline fighter. What means, that it was intended to fight for the air superiority over the frontline, but also to support the fighting forces on the ground. In the air to ground role the MiG-29 (9.12) was twice as effective as the MiG-21 or 23, but only 15% as effective as a F-16A. To overcome this weakpoint it was decided to implement guided missiles of the Afghanistan war proven Cha-25 (Kh-25) family. It was planed to use the Cha-25ML laser guided missile, the Cha-25MP anti radar missile and the Cha-25MT TV guided missile. The guidance device was taken from the MiG-27M.
In the literature you can find two statements about the 9.14. The first said, the the laser/TV guidance device was built into a pod, which was carried under the central station, the other said, that the divice was built into the fuselage. (For my MiG-29 is. 9.14 i choose the later option, maybe, that it is wrong, maybe that it is correct. I dont know.)
In 1986 the 9.14 was ready for entering the production line, but the project came to a sudden stop. The reason was, that the air to ground capability of the MiG-29 is. 9.14 was dramatically increased, but it was still weaker than the F-16A (approx 66%). With first flight of the MiG-29M (is. 9.15) a much better Fulcrum was short for introducing. Its air to ground capability was better than the F-16A, it had a same efficency as the F-16C. It was decided to wait till the MiG-29M was available.
To stop the 9.14 introduction in the Soviet Air Force was a big mistake, because the breakdown of the Soviet Union stopped the MiG-29M development by nearly 15 years. So the MiG-29 had for a long period no real satisfying air to ground capability.

While making the 9.14 i used a lot of files made by other modders.
 
The plane itself:
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Model by Wpnssgt
Flight Model by Column5
 
 
The Cockpit is taken from MarcFighters Su-27

Cockpit by MarcFighter, Kesselbrut, BPAo (special thanks to Boopidoo, Mago and Badger for textures)
 
 
The Weapons
~~~~~~~~~
I took the missiles from Weaponpack. The credit for the weapon models belongs to the guys who made it.
 
And finally my little share
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I modified the HUD, added an Air to Ground mode. I edited the Data file to implement the guided missiles, reduced the fuel consumption and increased the engine thrust a little bit. And i moddified the original Skin by Wpnssgt to the green gray soviet style MiG-29 camo.

This are the 2 versions of TK's terrain editor tool.
The old version use for autotexturing SFP1 terrains.
The new version is better for autotexturing FE, WOE, WOI.

T-55AM Panzer of ZAHAL
 
In the 6-Days War of 1967 Israel captured a lot of syrian and egyptian T-55. This panzers were used in the israeli Army (ZAHAL) up to the 70th and proved as good and reliable combat vehicles.
During the Yom-Kippur-War the israeli T-55 formed the spearhead of Sharons counter offensive to cross the Suez Canal. In combat with egyptian T-55 the israeli T-55 proved superior due better crew training.
