Guys… would be very cool if it was made like Ikaros for exmple that it has in its settings via the configuration too choose between versions (training-Campaign mode) And everybody would be happy. And i believe that a cold war scenario over there would be awesome u know old days USSR vs USA… Think about it… it has a potential to be awesome if the landscape also is. One of the things i always enjoyed is the Balkans theater exactly for that for the landscape and i still prefer to fly a mission in Balakans rather in Korea.

What would be WAY cool is if we had training Range theaters for all of the major operating Training Ranges/OP Areas world wide…and then VSs could host each other for MP exercises on local Ranges for “exchange training” like in RL.
But I can only but dream of such…:roll:…

You’re telling me… wrong: don’t tell me that, mate

So we are (at least) two

Well there’s one issue already as concerning data for Alaska. To get the GIS E00 data for Hydrography(river/streams/lakes) for Alaska, you have to pay for it at. And I won’t do that.
Other than that I have everything else, and the SRTM data:
The theater would have to be 128Seg although it would only take up about 64 Seg as the SRTM data is cut off on the east side of Alaska, it’s all water. Of course that could be filled in with blank land but it’s not really worth it.
The above pic is with TerrainView minimized and cutting off the half of the 128Segments, this is a shot of the entire view of the theater in TerrainView:

Also, I just wanted to say, the only reason I checked to see if I had this data to even attempt this is because of “wray79”, his original post and his post responding to me about where he is located up there, sort of hit a einnie tieeeeeeneee, soft spot in me.
But, if the fact was that I did not have the correct data of the location of his whereabouts I would not have even made the previous post.
So, in a way, because of him, I checked to see if I actually had the data.(Odds where I did, I have just about the entire earth!!) LOL

How much does the data cost? And that is very thoughtful of you Cloud 9!

I don’t know, you would have to go here http://www.geocomm.com/
Have to create a login, then got to the GIS Data tab, click on Download GIS Data, then the US shows up, click on the Alaska icon, click on Statewide Data, goto Hydrography - 1M - E00 Format and there you will see the Drainage - Network E00 data at top.
I’ll try to hotlink it: http://data.geocomm.com/catalog/US/61095/group105.html
It’s only a Premium Download which is weird you can get the Drainage info for just about anywhere as a Normal Download there?? Don’t want or need the CD/DVD, just the download, I’m sure it’s probably cheaper.
The only reason I won’t get it is I have absolutely no money tied into the net like Paypal or even a bank account.

It’s it is $4.15 like the drainage data, I’ll buy it. That is a small price to pay for something such as this (again even if a someone such as yourself was willing) and I would be most grateful. I’ll try and register and take a look. If you find out before I can get on there, PM me Cloud 9!

I PM’d you with explanation.

The Juvats are headed to Alaska for a month-long TDY on July 17…anyone want to accept the challenge of getting a flyable Alaska theater before that? :uham:
In all seriousness, the theater really only needs a few airbases (Eielson ,Elmendorf and maybe Anchorage), roads and working campaigns won’t matter since it would be primarily a TE driven training theater with flights fragged to go hit the static ranges.

(Eielson ,Elmendorf and maybe Anchorage)
Unfortunately with the SRTM data I have, none of those are within it!!
If someone else has the available SRTM data for that area, I’m up for it.
I have already generated the theater for the SRTM data I previously posted though!

No Russia?

Where does one acquire the STRM data?
Used to get it from the NOAA site, but they no longer provide it. To my knowledge there is no other site(s) that provide what we need for Falcon???

No, not what we need, and if it were, they only allow a selection of 175x2 KM to select, we need WAY more area than that.
