Description:

SW Korea Bases





This scenery pack contains 22 redone bases with 25 runways in Manchuria, North Korea and South Korea circa 1950-52


These bases were created using the visual layout and airbase.dat info of the “Fox Four” team’s work. http://simviation.com//lair/cfs2kmain1.htm (http://simviation.com/lair/cfs2kmain1.htm) IE: some are concrete and some dirt runways. Some are located in Manchuria and North Korea, but most are in South Korea. (More data about locations of additional N. Korean bases would be welcome.) Some are in forests, some bases are in urban areas and some are in clear or partially clear terrain.

Shadow Wolf 07,

Many thanks for your outstanding work on this, Shadow Wolf. Korea stretches the abilities of CFS2 to its natural limits...jet-on-jet gunfights!

Shadow Wolf,

Great Job and thank you. They really look great and work well in my new missions.

[kelticheart]

A million thanks Shadow Wolf!

Good looking airbases were needed badly in the Korean theatre!

:applouse: :encouragement: :icon29:

I can't wait to install them!

Cheers!

Talon: there have been a few changes since the beta set I sent you a week and a half ago. I recommend you uninstall those and reinstall with these. Mostly I renamed them all so they would line up together and in alphabetical order in your drop-down menus in Free flight and Mission Builder. That will make them easier to find and recognize. A few were re-textured so the runways and taxiways sat more evenly on the cleared areas.

Some of the runways are long - for bomber use. Some are dirt and some are concrete. I put in trees where the underlying textures showed forest terrain and grassy buffer zones were they are in or bordering urban areas.

If anyone has coords for additional bases - especially in N. Korea or Manchuria, please pass them on to me.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I tried to cut my teeth in learning scenery improvements on these bases and all I did was really screw them up (copies of course)!!! I have somewhere a listing of NK bases from the Korean War but will have to look for it as I had saved them on a stick drive.

Again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Urban renewal was sorely needed on those bases.

Found some but you may already have these;

Those are some great tips man... thank you!

.....I had a large listing but will have to really look for that stick. The ones I sent were the ones readily available on my "C". Will look for more info later.

Seems you have alot of info on Korea,maybe you can do some missions for the new scenery.:biggrin:

[Fibber]

..I have been gathering alot with the aim to doing just that but I am starting to find I am better at seeking than doing. Am willing to try if and when I have time and a clear head.

Got 'em Shadow, thanks.

At last! These new Korea bases looks just great. Thanks! Have to play the Fox Four campaigns again after having installed these..

Morton,

I'm also doing a campaign using these bases if you're interested.

In case you were wondering, there are only a few Manchurian and N. Korean bases in this pack. You may want more targets so... I am currently working (albeit slowly) on a strictly Chinese/N. Korean set. I will call it "Red Star" bases. I have already finished 2, one in the PRC (People's Republic of China} and the other in the KPDR (Korean People's Democratic Republic). Thanks to Fibber, I have some sites with locations and even one with Google Earth pictures. This pack should be out in a couple of weeks or less.

This project truly gives me something to do and helps me maintain what little sanity I have left. :)

take a look at this website for airbases. It is present day but gives some good info for locations. http://www.quebecairforce.com/falcon/img/Runway/OF/Korea/KR/Seosan/

If you need a list of adjacent NK bases in the KW I found one if you want it.

Thanks. Sure... I'd like to see the list.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery Add-Ons

Description: This scenery contains 6 new bases with 5 runways in North Korea, circa 1950-52, intended to augment my first Korean War set, "SW_Korea-Bases". This set of North Korean Bases for CFS2 was created from real world coordinates elevations. The runway and taxiway layouts were taken from overhead imagery but the hangar and other structure’s layout is fictional. Each base has separate hangar and maintenance areas, a functional refueling point, fuel storage tanks, troop billeting areas, HQ/command and control area, and an ammo/weapons storage facility. Trees were placed in areas where the CFS2 map indicates “forests”.

In addition, many of them have prepositioned FLAK emplacements. I leave it to you, the user, to place the antiaircraft guns and parked aircraft. The bases are done in GSL so all objects are destroyable.

Shadow Wolf 07,

Outstanding work, they look fantastic! :victorious:

[kwb737]

Thanks so much Shadow! I've already installed them and they look awesome!!

[Morton]

Some more screenshots. These bases really enhance my Korea install. Well done!

Thanks for those Morton... for some reason I can't post screenshots or attachments. I think it is my browser or maybe another Win8 glitch.

...Win8, or the easy made difficult through the useless...


Thank you for the splendid new Red Star bases, Shadow Wolf!

You are welcome Kelti... make good use of them!

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Note: I edited the downloads (both of them). substituting a new, working "Optional water-tower as fuel tank" Sorry for the mix up.

[Fibber]

....did you get that last batch of "K" references that I sent your way? Did find that some of the K's were nothing more than widened highways in some places.

[Shadow Wolf 07]

I used the ones that I didn't already have, which had coordinates, orientation/heading and or overhead imagery. Thanks for your help.

[Fibber]

.....glad I could be of SOME assistance, but the thanks go to you for the bases! They are (like Tony the tiger said!) GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

[Shadow Wolf 07]

You are welcome and stand by for Talon's Korea 1950 campaign coming soon (we hope).
