NATO Airbase Merzifon v1.00 third-party modification

SwingKid and Alfa present:

v1.00 of the "NATO Airbase in Turkey" Mod!

http://www.waves.utoronto.ca/~pavaci...r/merz1p00.jpg

Now available as a LoMan v2.1 add-on:
http://www.waves.utoronto.ca/~pavaci...r/merzifon.zip (note: large! ~47 MB)
(note: Windows 98/ME users should read the included "skreadme.txt" file before installing LoMan v2.1)

To download LoMan v2.1:
http://loman.checksix-fr.com

New features of v1.00:
- Razdolnoye airbase objects moved to new location in Turkey
- F11 camera view for Razdolnoye moved to new location in Turkey
- Runways and taxiways now use Evil-JOE and Vinc's "Western Runway" textures
- Ground vehicles scattered around the airbase now replaced by NATO ground vehicles
- Russian-style red fire truck replaced with Evil-JOE and Vinc's NATO-style green fire truck
- all modifications affect only the transformed Razdolnoye airbase; all other airbases retain their original "Russian-style" runways and vehicles

Should be fully compatible with Lock On v1.02 and v1.1

To give you something new, while waiting for v1.1!

Enjoy,

-SK

P.S. If anyone enjoys this mod, please post a few screenshots here to provide some better advertising than I have done... Thanks in advance!

Could this also be installed on the demo 1.1?

Great mod btw! ;)

Great mod!
Isn't it possible to add some trees around the base to put in some volume in the scene?
Some quick pics. :)

Anything is possible, but some things are more difficult than others. To add trees to the scene - I don't think it would be worth the effort. Trees were not included in the original 229 objects for Razdolnoye, that are common across all Scenes levels. So, they would be much more difficult to add. Also, Merzifon seems to be in a very dry mountainous area without trees.

To create entirely new airbases - I don't know how to do this without removing real bases from another part of the map. Also, there are not any other suitable bases in Turkey that I know. Which one did you have in mind?

One thing I am curious about - is this something you think should be made into a permanent feature for the official "Lock On v1.2" - to swap the Razdolnoye airbase as a Turkish base, and make all future missions and campaigns with it in this position? Or it's better to leave it as a removable third-party mod? The original Razdolnoye airbase position in Lock On's Crimea does not seem to exist in the real world.

P.S. Sorry, I did not test it with the demo. I don't know if it works.

Great mod !http://forum.lockon.ru/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Did you guys notice a KC-10 is parking by the large hangar?

It works fine with demo, at least for me... I thing that Razdolnoye base should be removed so Merzifon could be added as primary NATO base.

I don't remember which of other Turkey bases could be fitted on map, maybe Akinci?!

This should definitely make its way into any V1.1 patch or V1.2 project as an 'official' fix.

Fantastic work guys.
