Cool, for the ones that need scenery removal open the miz file and take a screenshot of the trigger placement, then when you add the template to your own mission you can look at the screenshot to place the scenery removal triggers. Glad you like them !

I appreciate the feedback and suggestions, and I really appreciate the work on other FOBs and PBs that other other members of the community are creating there are some great works going on. But adding them to a single template isn't in my plans currently. For me, I am mainly focused purely on TF Helmand, and recreating the British, Danish and Estonian presence in Helmand covering the period I spent time there (I may have a plan for a campaign ). I am recreating these places as true to life and as realistically as I can (within the editors limits) with first hand photos, maps and other resources, mine and some friends who spent time there also. And I am not using any mods so they will be available to anyone. The issue with putting all the creations on one template isn't a hard thing to accomplish you can add each base/template yourself and edit what you need to. But for me I wish to create a purely TF Helmand template and adding all the bases in Helmand, Khandahar and the other provinces would create a wonderful slide show when trying to play a mission! FOB Jackson has over 300 static objects for example and it's not a big FOB ! When I have completed enough I will release a miz file with all the TF Helmand bases created thus far. And as time goes on I may expand the base list into other provinces.

Noice! Looks really good! And now for some Now Zad! From 2006/07. Both the District Centre and ANP Hill, I have included both the miz file with scenery removed and the stm so you will need to add your own triggers.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the compliment. All mine will be in one miz file when I have finished a good amount. I'm not sure if there is any crossover. There might be. You are correct, if you save a miz as an stm it will remove the triggers. For any I do apart from pylae I am including both the stm and the miz file if they have triggers in the user files. I am currently working on the Task Force Helmad HQ PRT in Lashkar Gar and to place it accurately has taken a lot of triggers to remove the scenery. Currently with the six I have I done I haven't noticed any performance drop yet. But it's early days. I am expecting it to slow down the more I add. I may break down the completed bases into regions and then upload them as miz files rather than one big one. To unhide the assets, customise, map options, unhide blue units. As for naming, I do name them on my main miz file, but I don't think saving it as an stm copies the name. Hope this helps ?

Yes, I am serious as I am recreating the bases as accurately as possible. I understand that in the grand scope of things, it's way down the list of importance (if it even makes the list) and that the chances of it being done are slim, but if you don't ask you'll never get

As I am currently working through building the TF Helmand FOBs/PBs and COPs when I was looking at Now Zad and specifically ANP Hill, its elevation is incorrect. In DCS Elevation 1238-1240m at the top. Google Earth Elevation 1253-1254m

Update for PB Wishtan, I have deleted the file on user files as there were some issues that users were having with the download. The new file is awaiting user file approval. When this happens I will update the relevant post. Wishtan and Jackson are live, see the posts above.

Patrol Base Wishtan circa 2008. South west of FOB Jackson in Sangin, further west on pharmacy road than PB Tangiers. All of these templates are hidden. To reveal them on your map you will need to go to map options in the mission editor and unhide blue units! Download link; https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339585/

So here is No3! Patrol Base Tangiers from Circa 2008/09. South of the main FOB in Sangin on the local road known as pharmacy road. It was built inside an Afghani compound but I have had to build my own as its missing from the map. All of these templates are hidden. To reveal them on your map you will need to go to map options in the mission editor and unhide blue units! Hope you enjoy! Download link; https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339560/

Go into map options and unhide blue units. That should work.

The second one is here! TF_Helmand_Sangin - PB Pylae A small PB less than 1 km south of FOB Jackson in Sangin. I have now been able to place it in its correct location thanks to the suggestion from Whiskey35. This is a Miz file rather than a stm as it now has triggers to clear out scenery. User files updated.

Yes I am, I started my own thread in missions and campaigns, so you will be able to download all the ones I make from the user files as and when I get them made!

First post! Yeah me! I have decided to start my own thread here to put up all my static templates and miz files of the main PBs, FOBs and COPs for TF Helmand (The British ones mainly) and then the complete miz file with them all included in one place. This is a pretty big task so it is all a WIP. Completed TF Helmand_Nadi Ali - PB Pimon TF Helmand_Sangin - PB Pylae TF Helmand_Sangin - PB Tangiers TF Helmand_Sangin - PB Wishtan TF Helmand_Sangin - FOB Jackson TF Helmand_Nadi Ali – FOB Argyll TF Helmand_Now Zad – District Centre TF Helmand_Now Zad – ANP Hill TF Helmand_Gereshk – FOB Price WIP TF Helmand_Lashkar Gar – TF Helmand HQ TF Helmand_Lashkar Gar – FOB Bost TF Helmand_Upper Gereshk Valley – FOB Gibraltar TF Helmand_Kajaki - FOB Zeebrugge TF Helmand_Kajaki - OP Normandy TF Helmand_Kajaki - OP Sparrowhawk TF Helmand_Kajaki - OP Athens TF Helmand_Sangin Valley – FOB Nolay TF Helmand_Sangin Valley – PB Viking TF Helmand_Sangin Valley – PB Waterloo TF Helmand_Sangin Valley – COP Robinson TF Helmand_Upper Sangin Valley – FOB Inkerman TF Helmand_Musa Qaleh – District Centre TF Helmand_Musa Qaleh – FOB Edinburgh TF Helmand_Musa Qaleh – OP Roshan TF Helmand_Garmsir – FOB Delhi TF Helmand_Garmsir – FOB Dwyer (Already on the map so not sure what to with this one as it was the 105 gun fire base for support of FOB Delhi). And more to be added to the list…. Each of the FOBs will be recreated as close to realistic as I can possibly make them within the limits of the DCS Mission Editor, using my own and many other sources. They may not all date to the exact same time period or year either, but they will all be within 2006-2008/9 hopefully. Also I will not be using any mods so they will be accessible for all without the need to download anything else or increasing the chances of these being broken as DCS updates. If anyone has any ideas or wishes please do reply! Hopefully someone will get some use or enjoyment out of these! All of these templates are hidden. To reveal them on your map you will need to go to map options in the mission editor and unhide blue units! The first of many! TF Helmand_Nadi Ali - PB Pimon This is my new and improved PB Pimon as it has been resized to be correct, the last one was twice the size it should have been! Oops! The static template can be downloaded from here; https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339481/

I'm not taking on Bastion as I'm hoping ED does some more work on it, but I have started building the main British FOBs and some of the PBs in Helmand, once I've got someway through it I will post the miz file on the user files.
