Japan map - Acajoun - 02.07.2008
Forgive my ignorance, :oops: but I would need some instructions in order to have the wonderful Japan map in my Il-2 game. I've managed to install the Mediterranean map, but as I'm a novice of modding and even a bit idiot, I would need an "idiot's guide" again for modding with the file of the map I've just downloaded (I don't manage to find in the site the exact instructions I've previously employed). Thank You for Help!!!

This map is unfinished so all you can really do is make simple missions and fly around to look at it. I scoped it out in FMB. Can't wait for the final product!!!
If you download it from the link provided and then read the readme its self explanitory, you shouldn't have any trouble.
The Japan map is wonderful but I can't download it! - Acajoun - 03.07.2008
Dear Fabianfred, I have tried many times to download your amazing Japan map from 4shared site but, even if I am a registered client, every time Iattempt the download a message appears: "Internet Explorer: impossible to visualize the page". What can I do? Is it another way for downloading it?
Thank you for an answer.

I've Made a Mission on this Map, VMF-323 The Deathrattlers taking on Elements of the North Korean Peoples Army as it attempts to push its way through the Pusan Perimeter.
Check the Single Mission Thread for such!
FF I Love this Map!!!!

fabianfred Wrote:just download the maptools FMB and have a go at making airstrips and laying a few textures and objects down...just make backups when everything is going right....for when it doesn't :wink:
I think I might have another go at such, and just put down a few airfields from this....
http://www.koreanwar.org/html/images/maps/airfield_list.gif
-EDIT-
After reading this,
Quote:Early in the Korean War, FEAF utilized existing airfields in Japan and South Korea. Many of these were formerly Japanese military airfields, and some of them had been converted to civilian airports. Before long, almost all of South Korea had been taken over by the invaders, leaving only a handful of airstrips in the southeastern corner of the peninsula available for USAF use. The most important of these were Taegu, Pohang, and Pusan West. The 930th Engineer Aviation Group and its 811th and 822d Engineer Aviation Battalions, deployed from Japan to Korea to keep these fields operational. Aviation engineers in Japan improved airfields at Itazuke and Tsuiki for tactical fighter missions to Korea, just across the Korea Strait.
,AND as long as Mr. FF doesn't mind me playing with this map...
I'm going to TRY (as I have little to no Map Building Experiance) to add:
(UN) South Korea
* K-1 Pusan-West Airfield
* K-2 Taegu Airfield
* K-14 Kimpo Airfield
(UN) Japan
* Tsuiki Air Force Base
* Itazuke Air Force Base

from the readme....
You are free to alter, adjust, change, modify, etc. etc. to carry on from where I have left the map in its present state....just give me a little credit in small print at the end.....
it's your map do with it as you will :wink:
Why this Map is so Interesting - Dixiecapt - 10.07.2008
struggling with some of this... But one step at a time,
I've begun on some Japanese Airfields, and had a question about the strange blackness I can occasionaly see in the distant horizon, and how to fix that? It seems to be much worse when I have a camera at high altitude. I can start another thread if (FF, or the Admin) would like me to not post here.
THE KOREAN WAR - THE OUTBREAK!
Why this Map is so Interesting
(This is me rambling about why the begining of the Korean War is so interesting)
I'm piddling with the idea of making a Early Korean War version of your map. From June 25 1950 to Mid October 1950. Basicly from the begining of the conflict right up until the point where the Chinese came in the war in overwhelming numbers.
It would include two of the most exciting campaigns in the war, that being the Pusan Perimeter, and the Inchon Invasion.
You have to keep in mind at the time of the North Korean Invasion of South Korea the US only had a couple hundred men in Korea. The whole of the 8th US Army was spread out over the Japanese Islands, and the Philipines. The newly formed CIA and Mac'A (El Supremo's) G2 Maj. Gen. Charles Willoughby we were Completely Suprized by the North Korean Invasion in the summer of 1950, and again as the Chinese poured over the boarder in winter of 1950.
After the surrender of Japan MacArthur, as Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers selected Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge as commander of United States Army Forces in Korea (USAFIK). In 1948 the President of South Korea, Syngman Rhee asked USAFIK for a military mission to aid in the building of his national defense forces in South Korea. This mission became the United Staes Military Advisory Group to the Republic of Korea (KMAG), which included 472 soldiers.
The Story goes that the Joint Chiefs were afraid to give the South Koreans heavy Artillery, Tanks, and an Air Force because they believed they would use such to Invade North Korea.
Add that to the fact that the Joint Chiefs under Harry Truman said they were going to [i]"Cut Military Spending to the Bone, and then Cut Some More"[/i] They Did. For example, When the Marine Corps was given its orders by the president, they had to activate all of their active and reserve forces and were still unable to form a full Division, and instead became the 1st Marine Brigade.
When the North Koreans Invaded their army was well trained, equiped, and diciplined by the Russians, (Ooo0 Oleg you'se guys get to be the Bad Guys in this Campaign! :wink: ) The South Koreans were not. To be honest nor was the 8th Army, so much so that when they began to move these troops into Pusan they sent oversized Regiments with the thought that poorly trained troops were going to take heavy losses.
As the NK Reds took Seoul and continued southward lead elements of the 8th Army - 24th Infantry Division (including the ill-fated Task Force Smith), were virtually destroyed between Osan and Taejon, General Walker leader of the 8th Army realized his assigned mission was impossible and went over to the defensive around the deep water port of Pusan. The alternative was being pushed into the sea.
General Walker held the Pusan Perimeter and used the Marines as his Fire Brigade, moving them where ever the army was getting hit the hardest in the Parimeter. It's been noted that General Walker said that the 1st Marine Brigade kept the battered 8th Army from being pushed into the Sea.
The bitter weeks of retreat and death would soon change, however, with MacArthur's "Hammer against the Anvil". He pulled the 1st Marine Brigade from Pusan (much to Walkers protest!) reinforced the Marines, making them the 1st Marine Division, and sailed them around the tip of the Korean Pennensula to invade the port of Inchon, which was very close to Seoul. This was very dangerous as the Navy would have to sail through the Flying Fish Channel to reach Inchon, and the Channel had wicked tides that time of year that only allowed the Navy two hours or so to get through the Channel. There was no room for error. The plan was for the Marines to take Inchon, then Seoul, then cut across the Penninsula to Wonson. At the same time Walker's 8th Army would break out of Pusan and push north. MacAuthor was trying to trap the North Korean Peoples Army between the 1st Marine Division, and the 8th Army and destroy it.
The invasion was a sucess! The breakout from the Pusan Perimeter coupled with the landing at Inchon seemed to turn the tide of the war. The NK army was in full retreat, and some what trapped, the UN forces at this time had complete Air, and Naval superiority.....
However as they UN advanced into North Korea and took P'yongyang, the NK Capitol, they had no idea that over 600,000 Red Chinese forces (way more than we had in Korea atm) were waiting for the allied forced to spread thin before they attempted to carry out their orders of destroying the UN forces.
But thats another Map..... I mean story.
Problems with Fabianfred's maps - Acajoun - 18.07.2008
Another demand for help. Some days ago I had to uninstall Fabianfred's maps of Japan and Thailand together with the whole Il-2 1946 program. After a while I've reloaded the game and all its mods in a sequence Ii believe correct (I've followed the instructions of "An idiot's guide to modding Your Il-2" that I've found on the site "tidesof war"). I've installed again the two Fabianfred's maps too, but every time I try to load them an error message appears: "Worl.land().LoadMap()error:java.lang.RuntimeException: Landscape 'OJ/load.ini' loading error". It's clear I've messed something but I cannot understand what. Since three days I'm looking desperately for a solution on Allaircraftsimulations site but I'ven't found it yet. NB: every other map works properly (the Redfox' map of south Mediterranean too), at least if I don't load them in order to modificate them, but that has a clear reason: I've lost the instruction needed in order to modificate the files "conf" and "dblconfs" (I'd found them somewhere on Allaircraftsimulations, but now I cannot remember exactly where: somebody remembers it?). If somebody can help me again I'll be very gratefull and I hope I'll can pay him back (f. ex., if he needs some informations from Italy or an help for translating something from italian, even if I know my english is not the best...)
Thanks to everybody for your attention
Regards
Silvio

Acajoun, If you are at a point where you need to begin with a new 1946 install, these may help.

Hey Acajoun ...are you sure you are running 4.09mb1?
Fabbianfred's maps still KO - Acajoun - 19.07.2008
Thank You, friends, for your tips and for your good will. I've reloaded Il-2 1946 and all its mods following forager's instructions and I'm working, as Fabianfred wants, on the version 4.09mb1, but Fabianfred's maps don't load yet. I think I'm following the wrong way in installing them in Il-2 1946/MODS/MAPMODS/maps. So I'll describe the process I follow: 1) I download the map (OJ, the japaneese map) 2) I open (or unpack) the map in a subfolder of "maps" called "OJ" by M2Mv2.zip WinRAR 3) I update "all.ini" adjoining by Notepad the line "OJ OJ/load.ini. 4) I launch the program and I try to load the OJ map. 5) A message appears: "Worl.land().Loadmap()error:java.lang.RuntimeException: Landscape'OJ/load.ini' loading error"
That's all, and it's frustrating! I'sure I'm doing something wrong during this process but I don't understand what. Suggestions and tips are very much welcome.
Thank you again!
Help? - GPreddy - 03.03.2009
Whenever I try to open this map in FMB, it says at the bottom, "map section [2D] not found," or something along those lines. Any help?
Come on... - GPreddy - 09.03.2009
Anyone? Anyone? I would really like to play this map...
- CzechTexan - 09.03.2009
GPreddy, I had the same problem a few days ago with similar or exact errors.
Do you have the new Universal Installer for MODS?
That's where my problem started.
I had missing sound files in my UI download. There is a fix for that in the UI Bugs thread.
That helped, but I also think my computer needed more memory available to work with these larger MODS maps so I increased the Page File in my computer and that also helped.
Not sure if these tips will help you but this is my story.
ps. I know how bad you want to get the map working. It was the same way with me for BurmaLower. But now all probs are fixed and I'm editing that map with ease.
HMMMM - GPreddy - 09.03.2009
No, I am not using UI, and how do you increase the page size? Thank you for responding, I was getting worried.
