these can be put on top of the Mediterranean mod but not both at once.

spanish skins,for your SCW scenerio,i think these all work ok,many thanks to all the skinners out there for all the hard work,this can be activated using JSGME on top of the mediterranean mod and the spanish radio calls

whats updated is improved towns and villages textures,more green areas to give that semi desert look,trees included,also roads showing very slightly,only railtracks which i can not do alot about for odvious reasons,hope those who enjoy i different scenerio will have some fun,again many thanks to the many modders,skinners out there that made this mod possible,many thanks for your work

also Kraut1 converted vanders quick mission generator to make your own spanish,italian mission scenerios

[BOB2026]

Some Malta missions are included that use the Kerch area as a make believe scenerio

[BOB2026]

HI, Which aircraft and maps do I need before installing this Med mission mod,  also does JSGME install all the files into the game when files are moved from available mods to activated mods, because have been having a problem not seeing the installed mission mods in my missions list main screen

 

Cheers

[BOB2026]

You need kuban and Stalingrad for the maps,the missions should have a sub folder in your missions folder

[taffy2]

Thanks for that.  I see a P-40 in one of the screen shots so i shall purchase that !!

Please tell me, is all this beauty available online? Or only offline?

[BOB2026]

It’s offline,as I have never played multiplayer I would not know,we have off-winters North Africa mod which is very good,so we have scope to play our what if scenerios,with the new Leningrad maps as well,we are spoilt for choice!

Is it possible to create custom air bases (or runway layouts)?

-In general yes, if you want to create an airfield on a new location:

1.) find an comparable flat area without too extreme hills, slopes, obstacles...
The surface quality is no problem, you can just place an invisible smooth surface

2) Airfield surfaces:
2a) most simple: for an improvised advanced landing ground just place a big invisble surface.
2b) if you find a suitable for copy existing airfield on the same map you can copy the airfield surfaces to the new location.
Note: if you want to use the AF for different season versions of the map (summer, autumns,...) you have to copy the airfield for each season on the same location, because as far as I know the textures of the seasons have different paths or file names.
2c) You can design a new airfield layout by creating of new individual surfaces.

See a rough description on my reply from 23th September 2025:

Sorry, just a short example:

Spoiler

Mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2ny86up5g8ri170/Kuban-advanced-airfield-test-Mod.zip/file

Mission: Kuban-Improvised-AF-Test-P57D22.zip

Exported invisble smooth surfaces for import into BOB2026's mod:
Kuban-Improvised-AF-invisible-smooth-surface.zip

 

Spoiler

On the North West Kuban Map, activate Surface edit:

Here you see 2 existing airfields and 1 primitive Feldflugplatz ca. 1300mx550m, just an invisible (opaque=0) Tape, that is defined by just 2 nodes:

 

Tape invisible smooth surface:

And now save the this file, it's your map mod:

Ah, I understand the principle, but the actual practice of it, that's beyond me completely.

The image I posted above is Lesina Airbase, and being a long term devotee of the 325th FG, when I saw your Med/Italy mod, I wondered if it was a 'simple'  texture paste onto the map, obviously that isn't the case.

I guess I'm in the begging stage that a modder (no pressure on you) who understands the process, could place Lesina onto a map, even if it can't be landed on, it could be seen from the air...

working on v2 of the med mod,some screenshots,got some roads now that blend in ok,also villages and towns blend in better,will put up v2  tomorrow hopefully,after just testing on different altitudes and parts of the map,also the autumn map has slightly different textures

now have roads,paths you can see from the air,on the ground you can not see but this is not a massive ground breaker.kuban autumn,summer,spring textures improved ( autumn textures are slightly different not so green ) town and village textures blend in better now,most parts of the maps are ok,any improvements that you think I can do let me know.The airfields I can not really do much about making certain airfields
