Hello Gentlemen.

Aegean theater v1.6 released. So you can if you want have it from here:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23259-Aegean-theater-v1-6

Today my friend and partner Arek “Eghi” and myself are very pleased to share with you the new Aegean theater v1.5.
A lot of nice works the last 6 months by both of us.

This theater is the previous Aegean v1.3 + these new corrections/updates:

1. New terrain by “Eghi”.
   

2. Created by “Eghi” and added a 3D model and skin for TACAN station. Now we have in every NavAid the proper 3D model exactly where the signal emitting, means a TACAN station for TACAN’s, and a VORTAC station for VORTAC’s and VOR/DME’s. Exception is 8 NavAids due to their conflict position.
   

3. Added by “JanHas” the LVN2 3D models and skins for HAF and TuAF F-16C block 30/40/50/50+/52+, D block 40/52 and Aggressors. For F-16AM BE/DK/NL/NO. For HAF and TuAF C-130H. Last for HAF shelters, trees and ground equipment.

4. All the airports checked and these that have in real world runway length of 6,000 FT or less represented now as airstrips.

5. All the runways glide paths checked and cleared of obstacles. Now all airports have at least one runway cleared of obstacles. Exception is Alexander the Great airport in F.Y.R.O.M.

6. All the runways of airports have now correct oriented runway threshold area.

7. Airport Tripolis corrected. Now it has both runway ends proper.
   8 ) Airport Afyon corrected. Now it has 3D objects.

8. 2 bridges at Istanbul city corrected.

9. 31 new navigation charts added for Bandirma, Cigli, Diagoras, Ifaistos, I. Daskalogiannis, Merkez, Mikonos, Sakyatan training area.
   
   

10. NavAids and their list updated with data from real world of May 2015.

11. All the navigation charts updated in order to be fully conformal with the new NavAids.

12. Created an F-16 Startup Procedure.
    

13. Nea Anchialos runway elevation corrected to the real 20 FT.

14. Added 5 airports and 1 airstrip, means Vitsentzos Kornaros, Alanya, Bodrum, Koca Seyit, Usak and Milos.

15. Removed 1 airport and 4 airstrips, means Hellinikon, Komotini, Olimboi, Polikhnitos and Kosekoy.

16. Added by “H. Renner” a skin for HAF F-4E. Its chute by “JanHas”.

**We want to thank very much these friends for their help and offers:

• Jan “JanHas” for give us the permission to use his awesome LVN2 3D models and skins for HAF and TuAF F-16C block 30/40/50/50+/52+, D block 40/52 and Aggressors. For F-16AM BE/DK/NL/NO. For HAF and TuAF C-130H. Last for HAF shelters, trees and ground equipment.
• Javi “Drakko” for his work to insert into the Aegean DataBase the 3D models by “JanHas”.
• Reinhard “Falcontower” for creation of the targets list for Sakyatan Training Area.
• Dave “demer928” for some help.
• Itai “Echo7” for creation of the other one (Turkey as blue) “te_new.tac” file.
• Uwe “hoover” for some beta testing.**

Easy and clear installation instructions on screen after you run the “Aegean_theater_v1.5.exe” file.
Don’t forget to read the file “Activation of Aegean theater.txt” inside the “Docs” folder after the extraction of files completed, as the installer prompt.

Keep in mind that Aegean theater v1.5 has the default campaign of the version 1.1 that is not fully working and winnable. Also it is not updated to has the benefits of version 1.5. Stay on created missions via Tactical Engagement builder for offline and online action!

We hope to like these new corrections/add-ons and to enjoy them.
For any possible issue or mismatch, please inform us to make the proper actions for correction. Of course don’t mention something about the campaign, we don’t have the knowledge.

Have great time with the new Aegean theater v1.5.

With our best regards,
Nikos “neystratiou” and Arek “Eghi”.

Any recommendations for “updaters”? Should the 1.3 be de-installed or will it be upgraded to 1.5? Are TE’s from the old version compatible with 1.5?

Gavin my friend,
Thank you for your kind words.
And please keep in mind that the VORTAC 3D model is from the default BMS Korea theater, means it is a nice work by the BMS developers.
Arek’s “Eghi” personal work is the nice TACAN station, for both 3D model and skin ;).

Hi my friend.
Well due to the fact that we have delete 5 airports/airstrips and insert 6 new ones as also been made some other works (means in other words we have changes in the data of the theater), it is wise to create your missions from scratch into the new Aegean theater v1.5!
You may be lucky in some missions to not see a conflict/crash, but there is a big possibility to see it in others that will use some “underground” codes data.
And of course you know as all of us, the last thing that you want is to have a crash in a great online flight with a lot of friends ;).

At all: Thank you very much guys for your kindly words!
It is very nice to we (Arek and myself) see so many friends happy with our work. That give us strength to continue support this “baby”. And we love this “baby”!

Nikos.

In order to clarify this important nice question to all:

Gents, the new version 1.5 is a stand alone version!
That means that you simply first delete (or keep it with an other folder name like “Add-on Aegean 1.3”) your previous “Add-on Aegean” folder and then run the new Aegean theater v1.5 installer.

Nikos.

Yeah… Great… Just bad I nearly have no time to enjoy

[Joe Labrada]

Superb tiling.

I do not see repeating patterns. Then: this may not be Falcon.

My good friend Joe,
