View File South East Asia 1964-74 This is part 1 of a 2 part pack, you WILL need both parts for it to work correctly. This is my version of a South East Asia terrain, it has been many years in the making but is still not complete or finished. But considering that my modding years are coming to an end I thought I'd release it anyway. The area north of the DMZ is a real mess target wise as it's an area I've never been interested in, I personally fly CAS/Armed-Recon in the Central Highlands area. This is a 250 meter map with 600+ tiles and TOD's so you need a fairly powerful machine to run it. There's over 450 new ground objects never been released before, all made by myself so any errors there are entirely down to me. Over the years I've got help and advice off dozens of different modders. They have been the inspiration for me to continue this far, so while they are too many to mention we should a remember that without the modding community this sim/game would of died many years ago. This package contains work and ideas from many of the great terrain experts. A great big THANK YOU to everyone I've worked with in the past. If you are new to the SF simming world, please don't bother whining and screaming about all the little oddities you may find that you don't like, just download the tools needed from here at CombatAce and fix them. Believe me when I say "you've never had it so good" Please read the readme or you WILL mess up your install and it will all be your own fault. ................................................................

A few more from an early Da Nang airbase....

It was the stock TW airbase issues that got me started on doing my own.........

It happens when the "Flat Objects" eg parking area's etc are not placed low enough in 3ds Max, there's a very fine line between making them so low as they dont show at all, or positioning them a few inches above the terrain which then causes the Z buffer fighting issue. I've come across it a few times when making my bases, just because they appear to be made at 0.0 on the Z axis very often they're not, I have all my runways, taxiways etc,etc set at 15cm above "ground level" in 3ds max which seems to be the sweet spot for me.

TileToHeightGridRatio=8 is for 250m heightmap resolution maps.

Da Nang. Late 1966..........

Just an old screenie I found on an old backup drive.

I have my Vietnam set up just for missions south of the DMZ, plenty of mud moving and recon possibilities...

Not too sure about your Da Nang tower location but my reference's show it further down to the south on the old original pan, basically between those first 2 large hangars in your screenshot. Originally the old French built tower was used for a short while before the US built their own wooden structured version which again was in time replaced with a more modern "concrete" structure. All these US bases are very hard to depict accurately as they changed so much in the early years as various combinations of materials were used during construction then upgraded as need to suit newer aircraft coming the war zone, just the types and sizes of the revetments alone can be a complete nightmare

It's been a while...
