a while ago I've downloaded the island terrain...well it never ever worked
(it's just a parfile).
Now I've used the 'unbigger'-tool, so I've
all the single files and directory's.
So now it works fine!
But there's still a little problem (also
mentioned in the readme):
->> I can't create missions directly from the
mission-editor. I've always to modify the mission-file (put the right terrain in it).
Also the terrain don't apear in the mission
selection inside the game.

Now my question: Has this ever been fixed?
Can I fix this miself?????

This is sooo sad because the island-terrain
is the perfect terrain for jap vs. usa fightings!!!

thx

One of my current projects, as a spin off of making airfields where you want them, I have begun a re-build of a pacific Island terrain. Using Midway as a base, I have constructed an all-sea version. To this I will add a chain of little Islands containing a couple of airfields, plus a few other targets. A few minor coral atols will be thrown in for good measure. There will also be a further pair of airfields shaped like Aircraft carriers. I have had to take a few scale liberties to get the carriers to work with the AI since it is so stupid it doesn't open the throttles wide until it's halfway down the bloody runway!

The aim of the project is to provide a playground for the current crop of Jap and US planes for this region, along with a very framerate friendly combat arena. Owners of low-end machines liek myself should be able to fly some plane-heavy missions at last!

Also, if you want to have ships moving on DOF's you need large areas of water. Coming right up! All of Nat's lovely ships....room to sail!

Well, you get the picture. Even if you fix the terrain, Island terrain, as Tundra, has no airfields. I find that very limiting!

Watch this space!

iego is doing a jungle pacific terrain with plenty of land, and I want to complement that with my project.
