Some decades ago a american pilot said: "Our worst nightmare is a German in a MiG-29." A German in a F-31 would have been much worser!

DRV 2.1 is nearly finished. Afterwards i will go back to Michigan terrain.

Good morning Vietnam, from Pleiku to Da da da Nang!!!

Over the weekend i made the TOD files, which i missed the last time. Then i made 2 new tiles for the coastline and created for them the TOD files. So the Da Nang area looks at the moment I reworked the coastline a little bit to come closer to the reality. This is the look to the north, the peninsula in direction of Hue. In the next days i will make final checks, to find mistakes. Then i will write the readme and give credit to all guys, whom files i was using in this terrain. And afterwards i will release DRV 2.1 When all runs fine release will be next weekend.

Terrains with s must it be.

I thought, that i would be close to finish the terrain. But when i placed Monkey Mountain EW site close to Da Nang i found out, that i had forgotten to place TOD trees and objects to a couple of tiles. Back to drawing board! Monkey Mountain Facility and clearly to see, that the trees are missing.

In strike missions you have to destroy the object, which the game engine gives you as target. The size of the object is defined by the shape of the object. This cant be changed by simple ini eding.

There is a simple rule in the SF world: If you want that something is done, do it yourself. Here you find some lessons, how to create a terrain : https://combatace.com/forums/forum/191-modding-terrainsenviroments/ It is not as difficult as cutting an atom into pieces, but it need time.

The czechoslovakian L-39 Albatros was a formidable trainer airplane.

The never finished airfield of Dong Suong The Americans bombed it so often, that it never became operational.

A question for the wisdom of the forum: Where was the control tower of Da Nang AFB located? I placed it at the tip of the arrow. Is this correct?

The LocationMap is not part of all SF2 terrains. The game works well without it, because the location of a target area is also defined in the target.ini and in the Nations.ini of the terrain.

What if the MiG development bureau would have built the MiG-33 itself in the 1980th, instead to sell the blueprints to China in the 1990th.

Da Nang AFB final approach.

I doubt that it is a good choice. The EuFi is a 4th generation jet. In the meantime other Air Forces get their 5th generations jets and the 6th generation jets are already in development. Very soon the EuFi is old iron.

Da Nang AFB (WIP) consist now of 500 single parts. Not finished yet, but the finish line is close now. I still have to do the airfield ini with the parked aircrafts for Da Nang and then i will make the never finished north vietnamese airfield Dong Suong.

Vietnam War buddies.

Da Nang Air Base (WIP) It is still a long way till it will be finished.

Somewhere over Norway 1940.
