Yak-23 Flora cockpit
By Stary in Jet Cockpits
Yak-23 Flora cockpit
For SF2 series with Expansion Pack 2!
EXPANSION PACK 2 required for Yak-23, you won't find this little day-only, stay-away-from-clouds fighter in any other release than Exp2!
(However you can use this pit in other planes like Yak-15/Yak-17 just fine)
Extract to your Aircraft folder, overwrite. Supplied data includes just modification to guns, making them two individual groups.

Gerwin's Iceland 1024 tileset
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This is 1024x1024 optional tileset and treemod for Gerwin's "old format" IcelandNA terrain.
New waternormal included (still experimenting with those)
Stretching the reality a bit I decided to add some clusters of trees/bushes to most of non-snow tiles -this way it's not 100% accurate but gives us something happening down low.

ODS Jaguar A cockpit repaint
By Stary in Jet Cockpits
This is repaint of Jaguar A cockpit.
It gives the cockpit more depth and generally better look (I hope)
There are some innacuracies and omissions so please do not count the rivets!
Also due to the way the original mesh is mapped some parts couldn't be improved. Also because of this I decided to paint the canopy framing monocolour gray.

ODS Mirage F1 (and any Super Etendard too!) high resolution cockpit repaint
By Stary in Jet Cockpits
This is a high resolution repaint of old (2005) cockpit of Super Etendard by Foxmonter, as used in various types of Mirage F1 in Operation Desert Storm.
Due to the way this cockpit mesh is mapped I had to make one big 4096x4096 file for most of the main parts. Also other parts are repainted or adjusted.
There are some innacuracies and omissions so please do not count the rivets!
After all it's SE pit standing-in for Mirage F1 and to be honest je ne parle pas français...

New in version 1.3:
-brand new high resolution clouds graphics based on my own photography works
-new fog colour for broken skies, more bluish than stock gray
-optional unchanged gray skies for broken included in it's folder -so you can choose your version
-midday sky colours back to more realistic bluish, but different than stock
-again, new clouds graphics
I forgot some additional tweaks introduced during tests

Baltic region HR tileset

Baltic region HR tileset v1.0
for SF2 March 2012 patch-level
April 1st 2012
optional tiles, ground TOD objects for "The Scandinavian Front MOD" by JonathanRL or stand-alone Sweden map by gillg
Hats off to both of you for your efforts guys!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GAMEPLAY NOTE: Due to large amount of ground objects per tile (around 800-1100+ per single tile)
it's highly recommended to use ObjectsFade=TRUE statement in options.ini to increase ingame framerates
Also, due to my crappy slow internet connection, I removed from the initial upload two seasons (thaw and light snow) which eventually will be uploaded later
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod assumes one has at least installed and tested Sweden map by gillg, more preferably stand-alone TSF mod folder with one of JonathanRL&Team's Scandinavian mods, which includes the Sweden map in them too.
Installation:
To install unpack this archive and copy or move the content of Baltic Tileset to your Terrains folder, overwrite when asked.
!!!Be warned, due to 1024x1024 textures and large TOD files, the map takes some time to load at first run!!!

Open Ocean test map
By Stary in Full Terrains
FOR SF2:North Atlantic ONLY!
This is simple open waters map, for testing purposes.
Whole map consists only of single 100x100 kilometers plane, repeating self to create 1000x1000 kilometers map.
Water file is defined, so are locations of Friendy and Enemy task forces spawn points.
I decided NOT to include any test islands so far to keep it clean of any land areas.
For testing/evaluation purposes ONLY
I've included simple Max files used to created this terrain, one is 1000x1000 KM mesh, the other, used in this map is 100x100 KM on

New Soviet MANPADS models
By Stary in Ground Object Mods
this is set of new models for Crusader's "Soviet Manpads" pack for Strike Fighters 2 series
Created with the aid of freeware "soldier02" model by ? available at free3dmodels.com, rebuild and tweaked by me
Sa-7, Sa-16, Sa-18, Sa-24 models by me*
This pack updates the visuals of all units from Crusader's mod, namely:
SA-7 "Grail" - GRAU 9K32 Strela-2
SA-7b "Grail" - GRAU 9K32M Strela-2M
SA-14 "Gremlin" - GRAU 9K34 Strela-3
SA-16 "Gimlet" - GRAU 9K310 Igla-1
SA-18 "Grouse" - GRAU 9K38 Igla
Sa-24 "Grinch" - GRAU 9K338 Igla-S
I tried to give the models some variety in look, so some are standing and some are firing from keeling positions. Some have ugly box with additional missiles near them.
The models are "generic" enough to possibly serve for various armies and time periods.
Also slightly tweaked, more visible effect for launched missiles is included. Use at own risk ;)

To install simply unzip to your Iceland terrain folder, overwrite file.

India/Pakistan Hi-res tileset
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This is set of satellite based 1024x1024 tiles created for India/Pakistan terrain by Deuces and Wrench
Best to be used in dedicated India/Pakistan (AKA "Wings Over India") stand alone mod, but can be added to any install that has India/Pakistan map added into it.
This pack assumes you do have installed and tested (flown over at least once) "Indiapak" map.
Right now TODs and their placement is as they were for original terrain release, but they do work quite well.
Also given the scope of the terrain portrayed and it's physical diversity I had to make some compromises.

Texas/Mexico (ASW) tileset

Texas/Mexico tileset

(should work with any maps created using stock "Desert.cat" tileset, series1 backward compatible format)
This is set of 1024x1024 tiles created for Wrench's Texas/Occupied Mexico terrain (known as ASW -America South West)
Right now being sort of fully functioning beta, it does not include dedicated/borrowed tod files ("treemod") due to my lack of time

Taiwan 1024 tiles
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This is re-release of my tileset for Gepard's Formosa Strait/Taiwanhaxia map.
These are the original "lost and found" tiles I created in 2010 for Taiwan and released previously in downscaled 512 version.
Included are two seasons, all the .tods (trees, buildings; both in small and big versions), necessary inis and other bits and pieces from the original release, slightly tweaked here and there. Oh, slightly different trees graphics too.
You can install this either into clean version of Gepard's terrain, or into your existing already modded Formosa
(that is with the !RECOMMENDED! Wrench's fixes and tweaks, my previous tileset/treemod)

Enhanced GermanyCE tileset -no trees for grass tiles
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
Enhanced GermanyCE tileset -no trees for grass (R-type) tiles
fix/addon to my GermanyCE enhanced tileset.
This is quick fix that removes trees from R-type (in original TW tileset empty grass only) tiles.
As most seem to be using custom GermanyCE_tagets.ini file(s) with various airfields added (like those in Nato Fighters 4+ or others) I did this fix.
This will also allow future usage of my tileset by modders working on new campaigns with even more new airfields planned, yet to be released.
To install simply unzip to your mods installation GermanyCE folder, overwrite when asked. You can also delete the GermanyCE.TFD file that came with my GermanyCE tileset (no custom tiles layout needed)

Please note: as of Expansion Pack 2, clouds height seems to be locked at specific untweakable altitude (=> ~10000 feet).
I, aswell as others, tried various settings, even negative cloud base height values to no luck.

GermanyCE enhanced tileset
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This is repainted, enhanced tileset of GermanyCE terrain from SF2 Europe.
Version 1.1 -check changelog for list of updates.
All roads have been darkened, now appear as medium gray; opposite to previous yellowish -white.
All seasons have been replaced by new ones, slightly different than before. New seasons added -thaw before spring and early summer.
All TOD files are new, taken strictly from "trees, buildings graphics, TODs update" recently released.
Main G-type fields layout has been corrected and organised. Now layout is back more like it was in original TW tileset. Corresponding modified TODs included.
As an experiment all bmp files have been replaced by jpg format for HDD space conservation.
Tiles are 512x512, downsampled from 1024x1024 templates.
This pack FULLY replaces any of my GermanyCE 4 seasons mods. You don't need to have previous version installed -if you do, all old files will be replaced by new ones.

HR GermanyCE trees buildings TODs update
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This is small update to my HR GermanyCE 4-seasons terrain released in 2009.
Purpose of this update is to replace trees and buildings graphics with new ones, hopefully for the better feel and looks.
Also included are reworked .TOD files (files determinating population of tiles with objects) that make the trees more real-life size (as for Central Europe) and correct several tiles layout. As of some patches back, alpha-channel for buildings seems not supported, I removed all the "tricky" buildings that were using the apha channel for transparency effects (some fake lame windmills etc).
Includes GermanyCE.ini and GermanyCE_data.ini files, updated to newest standards.

Optional desert to mountains tiles for Piecemeal's Desert3 Update v1.2 terrain
By Stary in Tilesets for Terrains
This little modification is my tweak to several textures from "ODS" Iraq/Piecemeal's Desert3 terrains.
Created with "Updated Default SF2 Terrain by Piecemeal V 1.2" in mind, this pack changes the look of desert-to-mountain transitions tiles, making them much more sloped rocks thus standing out from surrounding sands. Tile-specific heightmap files (_HM) used to achieve more detailed mesh displacement.
Matter of one's preferences, it's one of those not necessary optional mods ;)
All the transition textures are based on work by Deuces for original ODS terrain, further used in Piecemeal's Desert3 update of stock SF2 Parani/Dhimari map.
