The others were around Balikpapan, which is much further to the south. The part of Borneo included with this map was British Borneo and the most northely oil installations there were around Miri (not on this map either).

:wink: Yes I know about that, I wnted only to introduce some targets for Campaign makers... but you're absolutely right... petroleum installations are not so to the North...

GerritJ9 Wrote:While struggling with my East Java map I started work on two Borneo maps... so far only made map_c, map_t and map_h, nothing more. Originally I wanted to include Davao and Jolo on the East Borneo map, but I'm not sure that such a large map would even load................

About size of loadable maps, I think the border between loadable and unloadable maps is approximatively near 14500x14500 pixels for map_c... Philippines is 14400x14400 and loadable... but two weeks ago I tried a 14800x14800 pixels (Philippines+Formose) which was unloadable.

For Philippines I merged a square of 9 strm files, as you can see below, and so I was able to obtain a loadable map at 1:2 size

In conclusion, we can make any 1:2 sized map of 3x3 strm square represented on picture below...

Take your time. I think we all can wait: this will be a great map - in all respects.

You have created an excellent map - it really is one of the most attractive that has been created so far. I'm glad you're looking at adding roads. Also, if you are looking at extra air bases you should consider Manapla (on the NW of Negros) as this is where the Ki-84's were based that shot down Tommy McGuire.

As with the esteemed Dixiecapt and Poltava, I'm a mission builder, and am planning to use your map in a big way. I'm happy to use what you have created so far - anything extra is a big bonus.

I think everyone appreciates what you have done, but just a few little extras will really put the icing on the cake.....

I'd like to second Phil's comments. This is a great map!! Can you say, "Battle of Samar"? or, "Taffy 3"?? :wink:

Thank you very much Delvpier!

GOT MAPS - HOW DO I MAKE THEM WORK? - Riptide_One - 18.10.2008

Can anyone tell me how to get IL-2 1946, 4.09m, to recognize these mod-maps. I have use the install program to put both the Slot and the Philippines maps in a new MODS/MAPMODS directory in the IL-2 directory, but when I get into the game and call up the mission builder, none of the mod-maps are listed. I am sure I missed some step? If anyone has something I can try, let know.

search for all.ini file ..... there should be only one ... location as displayed :

MODS\MAPMODS\maps\all.ini

all installers place/update that file .... so remove all others ( if present )

Delvpier - you, sir, are a hero.

Thanks for this beautiful map. Fantastic. I'm really going to have fun creating campaigns for it!

Thank you delvpier

Fly_zo,

Thanks for your suggestion. You are correct, the installer does put in an all.ini file at \Mods\MapMods\maps. The file does refer to all maps, new and old. However, when I delete the other all.ini file at \IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Users, the program just creates another one. As a result, only the old maps show up in the mission builder menu. It seems to me that something else must be changed or I've had the misfortune of purchasing a "mod-proof" copy of IL-2.

Best regards,

Riptide
