    I dont know why the Argentinians need a 4.000 meters runway. Have they an own Shuttle to land it there or was it an emergency runway for the american Shuttle program, like Templin in East Germany was it for the soviet Buran?

    i dont recall teh shuttle having a emergency landing site in Argentina (Azores and a few strips in Africa pop up more frequently)

    but i did not know that Templin was an emergency site for Buran!

  2. Last of the Steam Engine Tankers: KC-135As in the Early 90s


    Last of the Steam Engine Tankers: KC-135As in the Early 90s

    This mod covers the final years of the KC-135A's career, the last few years of J57 jet propulsion after SAC was shutdown and ACC/AMC came to be
    Skins included are 
    -2nd Operations Group (1992-1993)   

    -5th Wing (1992-1993)

    -9th Wing (1992-1993)

    -96th Wing (1992-1993)               

    -AETC (1992-1993)         

    -AMC Grey (same grey as current a/c use, mix units, very few)


        Included
    Model, Skins and decals for KC-135A
    Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
    Sounds and Effects


        Installation
    open "2 Mod Folder", add contents to mod folder of your choice
    fire up game, take off and go pass gas

        Known Issues
    -This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission
    and then park it in an orbit. 
    -Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected 
    (i had to test it somehow).
    -Loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing). 
    So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. 
    -Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.

    If someone else wants to make what I did better and bigger, they're certainly welcome. I can assure it's no walk in the park. That's why I'd rather work with terrains having the same size of TW ones, they tend to be more focused and feasible to make. That's also why I admire Gepard for still working on new terrains, because creating and modding them burned me out badly.

    and beleive me, i still freaking love yours, it one of the most beatiful terrains out there right now 

    for complete coverage, it could be a little bigger, and a little more to the north and west.

    but i could also hush up and just deal will my "humanitarian aid strike" packages being generated off map :biggrin:

  4. got a question, slightly off topic

    is it possible to have a terrain that would encompass the Balkans and also reach up to Ramstein AB in Germany?

    Menrva does have his beautiful Italy, Southern Europe terrain, but the furthest northwest it goes is Zurich (actually kind of odd to have a Swiss base in the mix i think), while to the Southeast it goes down to Greece I believe

    while i know you could just generate Hercules and C-160 "strike/aid delivery flights' starting off map, it would be cool to be able to fly such a mission whole trip

    NOTE: im not askin you to make one, im just asking if its possible. the one way distance iirc is around 1400km

  5. also, double check if the author is still available before posting in general forum. many times they are not, and then you ask

    however the author of that mod had been on the site 2 hours previous to me posting this

    all mods will have an author, hovering over their name will get you the link to their member profile. their member profile will tell you how recently they've been on the site
