Possible replacement for the Tonka.

It looks really nice but i'd check the color. It should be a little lighter and less blueish. It's not a big deal but it can make a real difference.

I have one small suggestion as a person who is currently learning Russian. There should't be the accent mark (this one: ' ) above the "o" letter - it's not really used in writing. What's more, the labels look a little bit different.

I saw this fitting camo pattern and just couldn't resist...

Something different than the Su-35. original skin by @bazillius with some modifications by me

Yes, this is what striked me the most when I watched this video. The guy who made it doesn't even know what's the cost of other aircraft nowadays and that the purchase price of the F-35 and F-16V for export buyers is roughly comparable.

Sure, I'll let you know when I get anything at least partially satisfying.

To sum up, I must have messed up my Ulianovsk/fake Liaoning. I deleted it and redone the Chinese version again and it works. The tricky part is now to repaint the Flankers onboard (they are part of the carrier model). I think I'll just wait for the Proper Kuznetsov on which the Liaoning is based. As skinning is my main work here at CA, this Okinawa conversion will be a thing to play with in some spare time. If I get any interesting results, I'll share them wih you. Anyway, @Menrva thank you for some lessons on water.bmp and other related stuff.

Update: it's not the original unmodded Ulyanovsk, it's my own Chinese version that has to be messed up.

I edited my post, I forgot to add the Soviet to the nations.ini and after adding the proper entry, the Yaks spawn on Kiev's deck. The problem seems to be the Ulyanovsk carrier.

They do, at least after I added Soviet to the Okinawa_nations.ini. The Ulyanovsk must be messed up somehow.

The only missing thing I found is that the Ulyanovsk has no place for parked aircraft but would that make any difference?

The aircraft is CarrierBased=TRUE. The airbase size in both the aircraft and carrier data.ini is set to medium. I'll compare the Ulyanovsk with other carriers that work in the latest version of SF2NA and see what I get.

@Wrench your idea would make sense only if there was an entry in the nations.ini determining whether a nation is a "naval" nation or not and I've never seen anything like this. @Menrva I'm still getting nowhere despite the fact that my fake Liaoning (Ulyanovsk with changed nations entry in the data.ini and userlist.ini) and my J-15 both have the same nation (China). This is strange because the USN Hornets spawn on carriers and even have Chinese battlegroups as their targets in strike missions (with the Kirov as a main target and smaller Chinese ships as escort). I have another idea. Maybe the "frontline" on the map affects places where red and blue naval forces spawn? In that case, the yellow area on the water.bmp would be on the wrong side of the frontline.

Thank you for the bitmap, it seems to work well. There must be a problem with the Chinese ships that I need to investigate further. I had to copy some Soviet ships form my SF2NA RSR install to get any red side ships to show on the map.

I'll check that out. I also wonder whether there are any limitations when it comes to the water.bmp file, like resolution or color depth (24-bit etc.).

I'm trying to modify the Okinawa terrain to make it suitable to more modern period, not the WW2, just for my personal use (don't expect anything serious from this, I'm not a terrain modder really). My idea is to have the USAF/JASDF based on the Japanese islands and shipborne USN/USMC forces clash with the Chinese shipborne forces (the Chinese side will have no airfields, maybe I'll add some off-the-map airfields for long range strikes). For now, I have not modified anything on the ground but decided to add the carriers only. I downloaded some Chinese stuff and modified the Ulyanovsk CVN as a fake Chinese carrier. The problem is that I have no carriers spawning in the single missions at all. I am using a full 5 merged SF2NA install (it's a separate Far East themed install) and the Okinawa terrain updated for SF2. I created a water map in a way which has been explained in the forums. You can see it here for yourselves: Okinawa_Water.rar The Okinawa.ini looks like this: And the nations.ini: Do you have any idea what's wrong here?

I've noticed that and I'm curious whether there's any particular rule behind it.
