This is a major overhaul of Thirdwires stock Germany terrain for Strike Fighters 2 Europe. This mod includes Starys wonderfull GermanyCE hires terrain textures V3 with some small tweaks like grey painted roads or different river colors and a few new tiles. All airfields has been modified with new buildings . A couple are made from scratch. Try out Florians Pferdsfeld or Büchel airbases if you fly for the Nato. They are outstanding! Try Drewitz or Marxwalde or Gerwin field airfields if you are fighting for the Red side . Lots of strike targets has been modified or moved into towns. Hamburg and Wismar got real harbours and you find new objects all over the terrain. I also included hi ho silver's new city night textures and a modified ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI as additional install if you want to fly night missions that looks like real nights. Special thanks to Ravenclaw_007 and 76.IAP-Blackbird. Both made some objects i realy needed for this rework and supported me to create this mod. Another Special thank to Gepard for his German airfields mod. And a special thank to Florian who made the best looking airfields i've ever seen in any Sim! And i want to thank all creators who made all the great objects i used for this mod. Without your work i would never had started this project. Thank you all! Rends -

Soviet counterpart of a A-10?
Rends posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Did the Soviets have a counterpart of a A10? If so do we have it as flyable addon aircraft? -
Whow! Can't wait :-)

33Lima, Thx for playing my map! Seems that you enjoyed it somewhat. If i remember right you should set the difficulty slider to 7 or above and there will be more soviet units appear at the final stage of the mission. Not a real counterattack but some more targets. One reason for not creating a counterattack was the limited PC system i used back in time. I still have the original map and mission files so adding a counterattack would be possible but with my limited time at the moment i don't think it will be done anytime soon.

Falls jemand sich für WWII Flieger interessiert, fehlt da natürlich Duxford oben in der Liste: http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford Ich war 2011 dort, war sehr beeindruckend

Germany terrain rework (Part 1 of 3)

cowboy, If you want to use the new west Germany airfields please ask Florian for permission. If you want the new East Germany airfields go ahead and use them. -

Rends replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Eric, they arn't missing. They are not used on the map because they didn't fit in the cold war era. I had them in for testing only. Thx for the files. I'm not sure if i used the Tanker2 on the map in the release file but the Containership is in. One thing about the Nato mod. Keep in mind that it will not work any longer once i release an updated version of the Germany terrain. Then you need todo the complete editing saga again. This was already discussed with Eric a couple of posts earlier in this thread. But you should be fine for the next weeks or months. I'm busy with reallife at the moment and havn't found spare time to go on modding. -

Here are some common treetypes in europe: Beech up to 40 m (120ft) Oak 20-40m (60-120ft) Maple 20-30m (60-90ft) Since i can't measure the height ingame i dunno which one you find oversized nor have i an idea how to change the seaon height. I must admit i never noticed it. -

The terrain tod files are in the main GermanyCE folder. The season folders contains the .jpg and .tga files only. -
Hallo, Ich habe leider immer noch nicht rausbekommen, wo die (fertigen?) Flughäfen für das Germany Terrain abgeblieben sind. Auf den Screenshots sahen sie schon toll aus! Kann man die von irgendjemanden bekommen? Danke und Frohe Weihnachten, Rends

Na das hört sich doch wunderbar an. Vielleicht findest du ja auch mal Zeit den Kran zu machen, eilt aber nicht.

Hm, can you tell me more please? I have no plans doing other terrains, sorry. -

Rends replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Wonder how the tree size could be different ? The trees are part of the terrain tile. And the tile doesn't change. It's just the .tga that will be replaced if you select a different season. Maybe Stary can tell more... -
Wie, haste jetzt endlich nen neuen Rechner?

Falls sich jemand wundern sollte, das ich nix neues schreibe, bin im Moment arbeitsmäßig wieder stark eingebunden und komm zu nix. Die Zeiten wo ich krankgeschrieben war und stundenlang modden konnte sind im Moment vorbei.

3d Modelers: .JPG Alpha Transparency Support Question
Rends replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Never heard that jpgs support alpha channels. -
Hm, wenn ich mich recht erinnere braucht das desert4 doch das originale desert aus SF2. Ich habe aber nur europe und nordatlantik.

Rends replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hans, Wonder what happened if you fly with your Mirage over more ground object target areas like Hamburg or Leuna Werke? What you also can do is open the target.ini and disable the entries you find at the Bremerhaven target areas. What happened if you rename the seasons folder in the terrain folder? Guess you should be able to fly over a black untextured terrain but never tested it. -

Hans, Thx for the file. Well i have no plans to add more airfields to the terrain yet. I don't want to increase the number of people having problems playing this mod because of to much stuff on it. And for everyone running into CTDs please post your PC specs too. I still think that the problems is RAM or graphic RAM related. Post your OS version too please. If possible post a screenshot of the area. But i have to mention that the current CTDs doesn't have anything in common object related. And the terrainengine.dll fault message sounds too generic for me to make any sense but i must admit that i'm far of beeing a SF guru. So my help to fix any of your problems is very limited if i can't reproduce the problem on my system. -
So wie ich das jetzt sehe, sind wir mit dem Mod hart an der Grenze zu dem, was mit der Engine im Moment machbar ist. Die Abstürze beim Spielen einiger User deuten meiner Meinung nach darauf hin, das es bei denjenigen passiert, die vielleicht nicht so einen leistungsstarken Rechner haben. Eine andere Erklärung habe ich da im Moment nicht. Evtl. Nutzt sogar noch der eine oder andere WinXP mit seiner mangelaften Speicherverwaltung. Also kommen von meiner Seite her keine neuen Flugplätze auf die Map. Eric, der wohl das Nato Mod mitgemacht hat, will die später einfügen, wenn wir hier fertig sind. Das kann er dann auch tun, aber das ist dann sein Mod und nicht meiner. Florian, dich bitte ich drum für die anderen Fliegerhorste soviel Objekte wie möglich von den bisherigen Horsten zu benutzen und mit Neuen sparsam zu sein. Bei Texturen kann man auch erstmal sehen, was da schon alles im Terrainordner liegt, bevor Neue hinzukommen. Neue Targets kommen von mir auch nicht hinzu. Ich werde noch an den DDR Basen weiterarbeiten um von den Standartairfield layouts wegzukommen. Was ich vermeiden möchte, ist ein "Elite" Mod , der nur bei einem Teil der Spieler läuft, bei denen mit den fetten Rechnern.
