I downloaded this mod . I deleted old Desert War v16,terrain and desert mission files.I activated this mod but hen I select "enable mods"and restart they are NOT enabled. In fact it shows that mods are not enabled at all.

 

Got them to work. Startup. cfg was"read only" file . I changed properties and mods launched just fine.

Note when enabled Startup config entry looks like this.

updated to v1b with improvements to scenery textures

[JSOflyer69]

Replace old version with v1b,use JSGME,taking out all other mods,uses kuban maps autumn,summer and spring,the Egypt mod uses the Stalingrad maps.

please do not use reshade with this mod as it makes the colours too bright and unrealistic,many thanks 🙏

some work today on the stalingrad maps,starting to repaint some ground objects to blend in with scenery,lots work still to do

[JSOflyer69]

Heinkills attacking desert fortications on the stalingrad map,sand in our coffee v3 should be up in a few more days,just making some more missions for it.

much improved on past versions as i have had some time to work on it

[JSOflyer69]

v3 uploaded,with improvements to stalingrad maps,kuban maps,objects repaints to blend better and some new missions in folder called desert squadron

[JSOflyer69]

If you do not like the bright canopy reflections,go into folder graphics/textures/common then find canopyscratch.dds and delete it if you want to tone down

I just downloaded it, and I don't see any missions.  Is it just for the quick mission builder?

Why can't 1C buy mods like this and make them official?  Seems like a win/win for everyone.

They'd mostly be buying back their own content. It's nicely done, but I can't imagine they'd be able to sell what is essentially just non-historical retexturing of existing maps at the sort of volume to be worthwhile.

[JSOflyer69]

The mod is just a retexture of the existing kuban and Stalingrad maps.

More just for fun so the desert skins have somewhere to fly and I change of scenerio,which some people like.

v4 nearly complete should be a few days,from video you can see progress,i had to down tone the colours as flying at mid day was too bright

[JSOflyer69]

the desert colours take on a very different brightness regarding what time of day you fly,certainly much more yellow glow midday and more brown early and late time of day,i think most sorties in the desert were flown early or late afternoon due the the heat and the brightness of the sun !

remember to always carry your water bottle with you if you crash in the desert

install with JSGME tool,replacing any earlier versions,uses stalingrad summer,autumn to portray egypt nile region,kuban summer,spring,autumn to give you a north africa desert feel have fun.

the kuban maps are alot more bright when flying mid day,most sorties were flown morning,afternoon,some limits are not possible to get over due to the map is not made for desert textures,on the ground do not expect great textures but from the air they are ok

[JUSTPLANECRAZY]

Hats off to you for all the time and hard work you put into that it's fantastic, i felt like i was flying on another sim, many many thanks.  

[Billsponge1972]

Many thanks! 

Wondering if there are any new missions with this download v4?

[JSOflyer69]

The Stalingrad map are ok on the ground,but the kuban textures are too bright on the ground and general colours need to be toned down slightly.

but for now they are ok for flying and give a desert feel.

i will adjust the colours when I get time

Esp flying at midday the colours are too bright,but I will tone down on that in next update

That’s a fairly easy fix but time consuming

install this mod over the sand in our coffee mod,it just adds trees and a few missions to give that italian feel
