Desert Terrain Set II for Jane's WWII Fighters
by Pelabotes

*Removes trees completely by installing "invisible" magenta bitmaps to your WW2.SQS


Skycat's Updated Notes (02/2002)
-------------------------------
This updated version of Desert Terrain II is actually a hybrid of the Desert Terrain II 
textures and Judge's original desert terrain's installer and tiles. Doing this 1) solved a
installation glitch in DT2's install.bat and 2) ensures that the corners around the villages
are mapped with sand and not snow textures. 

"Invisible tree" bitmaps were substituted by Skycat where the Jurgen Muhlbauer's palm trees 
were used in Judge's original desert package.


Judge's Original Notes for original desert terrain
--------------------------------------------------
This terrain set doesn't contain any high-resolution textures and can be 
installed on all systems.

This installation will automatically make a backup of your terrain.sqs data file and 
existing tree textures.  After installing this terrain set, if you want to revert back 
to the original terrain, run the restore.bat script. This script copies the backup 
terrain.sqs over the current terrain.sqs and reinstalls the backed up tree textures.

Note: The terrain set doesn't change the location, name or number of the 
various towns, cities, bridges or airfields in the game.  This is to ensure
that all of the existing missions can still be played using the new terrain.
However, I may decide to change the various names and locations etc in a
later release if it seems that people want a more authentic Mediterranean
theatre.

Note: there seems to be a problem with the terrain in and around the Cochem area
(near the south-east corner of the map).  Flying into this area causes the game to
crash to the desktop.  

** 08 FEB 2002 update: Use Swiper's Cochem Fix patch available
at http://wwiifighters.com/~sdickson in the Downloads area. -- Skycat


Installation
------------
Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the WWII Fighters\Data directory.
Assuming the default installation path, this is
C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data

The files will be extracted to a new directory WWII Fighters\Data\DesertTerrain

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WWII Fighters\Data\DesertTerrain directory.

To install the new terrain set, double-click on the install.bat icon.

This will open up a DOS session and the installation will proceed in this window.
Due to the large number of files involved, installation may take several minutes.  
When the installation is complete, a message saying "DONE...CLOSE DOS SESSION" 
will be displayed in the window.  Close the DOS session by clicking on the X close 
button in the top right corner of the window.  

Installation is now complete.
