Jesus! Redko & Realdarko! You havent' lost the time!!!! I dissapear for a while and what amazing things you've done!

I cannot test them now but I'll try as soon as possible. What about flying low over those maps, they resist low altitude?

Amazing

Hi WhiteCat.

What a pleasure to hear from you.

They resist to low altitude pretty well, Kyushu most. The bad point for Okinawa for the moment is the lack of volume and altitude for mountains. The new textures give the real feeling to fly over a natural landscape with mountains but close to the ground the feeling disapear, but the textures remains good :???: .

Need to find how to give volume to all this.....Kyushu, Hawaii and Guadalcanal where easer in that point.

Here some pics with different athmospherical conditions than the previous one. Hope to post the map tomorrow...



fucking textures borders...... :???:


nice vue....except borders.... :???:


woudl like to change the colour of the roads




populated harbour






So i could post the map tonight but i will try tomorrow to improve 2-3 things. Does anyone knows the scale of this map?

- WhiteCat - 30.10.2009

Redko, I have a unpublished version of Oki, much less realistic though and more jungleish... and the solution I gave to the beaches was... not to have beaches. Anyway you could try a mixed texture for the beaches mixing sand / green, there are some maps that have that.

- redko - 30.10.2009

Hi Whitecat.

Yea, the idea of throwing out the beach textures was in my mind too. we will see :???: .

One thing for all....my modding work concist only for the moment in changing textures, i do the max to find the best textures, rework it and that all....i haven't started the other part of the job which concist in placing by myself the textures on the ground so i guess i will discover many interresting things by starting this part of the task. i'm reading the tutorial to mod FMB...wait and see.

Welcome to Redko Airways, please take a seat..... :lol:

Dup watch the bottom of pics, there you have some close to ground texture....you see that's no so bad :roll: .
























As you can see the map is now very fun for just fly in, dc3 is great.

THE END

Ok i'm super tired...2 days working 6 hours/day on this map but very happy because i get what i wanted, the result is there. maybe some some things to ad later as an update but the BIG part of the work is done ......

I'm finishing some aspects, like adding more trees in the botom of mountains, as the top doesn't need it. I fixed the problem of borders texture in particular for the beach. thanks WhiteCat for the ideas :wink: .

So as soon as possible the map will be free for download, tonight or tomorrow....hope you will like this RealDarko. :wink:

Here is where we started, say goodbye to this because you will never see it again :wink: :



Before.......



AFTER hock: :





Before:



AFTER :



As you can see i'm trying with the help of google map to add more cities in the more natural way as possible. The stock map is a desert, no life.....here we have population located in the borders of see and rivers as Okinawa is a island without many living space, most of space is forest and mountains....

Here I increased a little the habor:





Costal cities here....they weren't in the stock map....:



Same here



Same:



Country textures from my version of Kyushu map here....:




Coudl be the French Riviera....Monte Carlo.....lol









Adios old Okinawa........



And Welcome to NEW OKINAWA





So lets finish that....some hours more to wait guys.

But your work is more than appreciated.
It looks amazing. I still can't believe it's IL2, it looks like if an IL2 plane is photoshopped into an aerial photo. Take your time to tweak what's necessary, but not too much time 'cause I can't wait to d/l this map. :wink:
Thanx for all the hard work!

This is a breakthrough in map modeling for Il-2. Fantastic work!!!! Still can't believe what I see. How is the impression of the terrain when you fly low?

---

- redko - 30.10.2009

Thnaks Lejo :wink: .

Be patient...soon, soon all the people here will have the map 8) .

I posted some pics for Avala Bengali's map, WhiteCat retexured maps and Viking too but i always put the information when there is photoshop or not.

Pics posted here are directly coming from Fraps, 1600 resolution 24" screen. Np photoshop, no Gapa Gamma mod....totaly neutral .

All textures are -10/20 desaturated after downloading it by googl earth...so it explain why they look so photorealistic, they look natural.
