Re: Plan for Editing Iran in 2010

Suggest a check of all key infrastructure, if you are serious. The data you are building this on is just very old. There would probably be more roads, and some AB's are just small strips and small strips have become bigger bases. There are also a lot of new industries and huge military complexes for...

Have not been able to make the rocket artillery shoot at enemy objects in a TE. Does someone have some idea what to set to make this happen ?

Apparently common feeling is to remove the small useless rivers.

Re: POH Theater-F4Spain news:desert texture

What you can do is what we tried in F4ME (Pre ODS). Take the transition tiles from desert to next land type. Use like the 4 different corner transitions (to a darker feature) to make an "island" in the desert. You can also use the transition tiles to make different shapes of islands. When doing this...

This is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission coverage. Without it your terrain model looks very rough and good free data are near impossible to find. The coverage should be taken into account when planning new theaters.
