Anybody doing an Indo-Pakistan theater?

[Guest]

Before I get started maybe I should ask if anyone here is already doing an Indo-Pakistan theater. Snake_Man, you recall anyone doing that region?

If not, then I humbly ask you for your help Snake. Could you please process the following DEM for me?

up = 34.0
down = 24.0
left = 66.0
right = 76.0

This region contains parts of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

I hate to be a bother and if you're too busy I understand. This project can wait.

By the way, is there any chance a program might be written which could read DCW data (http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/) and automatically tile most of the map? I notice there are many other different types of data available on the DCW mapping manager including "land cover" and of particular interest "vegetation" for some regions. If such a program were written we'd see a rapid explosion of new theaters ... it would be awesome. Too much to hope for?

Hi mbaxter,

Terrainview provides limited auto-tiling.
For now you probably got to do hand-tiling.

BTW Be sure to pick adequate texture.zip for theater, or build some new tiles for it.

One shot for you, check the backgroun texture.

Someone did start to work on India/Pakistan theater, I just cannot remember who it was - and this sucky unregged ubb software dont have search option.

If you like, browse this forum and you'll find the guy who was asking the same thing. (I'm too tired to do that now:)

Anyways, I'm happy to produce the mentioned therrain files for you if it is necessary.

I'll look through the previous posts (I noticed the lack of a search option, too - hence my query!) and let you know if the DEM data is still neccesary.

Thanks again Snake!

Snake_Man - well I looked through this forum and asked around on Combatsim.Com but I haven't heard anything about anyone else doing an IndoPak theatre. So, I guess I'll need you to process the above DEM data for me after all.

Here it is again:
up = 34.0
down = 24.0
left = 66.0
right = 76.0

thanks!

mbaxter, few suggestions:
1.set up your egroup to coordinate work.
2.use the texture.zip of Bosnia/Italy theater for indo-pak. they've created many snowy capped tiles, best for Hemalaya area.

Snake-Man - thanks your a savior!

ccc - thanks for the tip I will do that.

I'm a little busy this week but in a couple of weeks I'll let you guys know how things are coming along. I think I already have at least two people who will help with the tiling.

mbaxter: I am really interested in the Indo-Pak theatre too. Finally got my hands on a PAF F-16 skin today. Let me know if you have started something. I am going through the terrain articles on this forum to get a general idea.

PAF F16 skin available by Basil, check his site at Swissflight.

I spent hours on Harpoon97 in past days, scenerio IOPG-inidan ocean/persian gulf..few thoughts:
1.Indian long range bomber+ long-range ASM/AGM is formidable. PAF got to deploy her a/c and CAP to intercept bombers ASAP. PAF bases appear to be vulnerable to kingfishes.
2.persian gulf is dangerous playground, if iraqi and iran got their long range AAM/ARM/AGM aiming at you.

IAF has Jaguars and Mig-27 for deep strike missions and Mirage-2000's would probably be reserved for high value targets. PAF's CAP capability is pretty awesome. Hundereds of F-7MP/MG's and Mirage-III's will make life pretty tough for any Indian surprise attack.
