Zo, thanks. I won't upload anything without advising as to the prefix.

tab_flettner Wrote:@Trooper : good point. But, trees aren't white. And there are a high number of conifers in that region. Janes did their research and got it right - there used to be some aerial photos around comparing Janes to reality, and it came very close, even at the height of winter. That is the point of this mod

Not trying to be critical mate, I love the new map you are doing, it looks great.. I'm really fed up with alot of the stock IL2 winter maps that make all the rivers solid ice, with very little contrast..
I know winter has several 'looks', depending on what the depth of the weather is at the time, so I guess you won't please everyone.. But you are doing a fine effort so far!..

Work continues and I am doing my best to maintain compatibility with Tanker IV's excellent "The Last Days" which adds a ton of objects. This is from "vanilla" (non TLD) 1946

Looks really great... is it not possible to elevate some of the forested areas more?

- Thrud - 09.01.2008

the airfiled enginers would remove that ring of bushes around the field before they would even think about paving the runway. For accuracy of a runway, any runway, you don't put any kind of collision object anywhere near where a plane would operate. the tower at the runway threshold would not be placed there either (collision hazard). the fuel storage wouldn't be that close to hangar.

everything else looks great.

@Huxley; the elevation has been adjusted considerably, although these screens don't really show it all that well.

Rather a lot more "Random Trees" he he ..... - tab_flettner - 15.01.2008

Well, it IS the Ardennes after all!

Hey Tab, how did you manage to get those many trees??

Fixed repeating textures - tab_flettner - 16.01.2008

Man can't wait to fly over this one!

- tab_flettner - 19.01.2008

RealDarko, you're first in line for the beta! I am waaaaay behind on it and have not had a lot of time to put into it, but I'm getting close.

Looking mighty fine! - Guest - 19.01.2008

tab_, this map looks great! I actually reinstalled Janes WWII Fighters recently, just for a trip 'down memory lane', and I realised how cool those winter maps look compared to some of IL2's winter maps. Looking forward to this one!
