for IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 4.09b1m or later
________________________________________________
This map pack upgrades many map textures with more realistic or interesting ones. The result is a more immersive, colorful scenario. I tried to use the newer Burma, Italy, Slovakia and Romania textures a lot, because they're a lot more realistic then some of the old ones. The pack also inludes separate high clouds layers. I prefer to have the dense version on most maps. Important: these map mods work only in 'Perfect' mode without problems.

________________________________________________
Note: There are several (high) clouds settings to choose from. You only need to change the tga filename in the load.ini. For example: open the file "C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/IL-2 Sturmovik 1946/MODS/MAPMODS/maps/Balaton/load.ini" the clouds are set here:
[APPENDIX]
HighClouds = Clouds256.tga
HighCloudsNoise = CloudsNoise.tga
// CloudsMap = CloudMap4x4km.tga
Moon = MoonMoon0000.tga
ShadeNoise = land/Noise.tga
WaterNoise = water/WaterNoise.tga
WaterNoiseAnimStart = Water/Animated/WaterNoise00.tga
ForestNoise= forest/summer/ListForestNoise.tga
BeachFoam = water/PacificFoam_.tga
BeachSurf = water/PacificBeachSurf.tga
BeachLand = water/RiverLand.tga
CoastBumpNoise = water/CoastBumpNoiseDimas.tga
you can change to:
HighClouds = Clouds256.tga (my default, dense version)
HighClouds = Clouds256_orig.tga (original, medium density)
HighClouds = Clouds256_med.tga (almost nothing, barely visible cirrus clouds for the MTO, PTO)
with 4.09b1m you got more options:
HighClouds = MTO_Clouds256.tga
HighClouds = sk_Clouds256.tga
HighCloudsNoise = sk_CloudsNoise.tga
HighClouds = LAL_Clouds256.tga
HighCloudsNoise = LAL_CloudsNoise.tga
Version history:
v1.1: fixed Mariannas, not matching textures problem - Guadalcanal, wrong actors.static on early map - Singapore, wrong actors.static - Normandy, wrong actors.static - Online MT, invisible airfield textures
v1.2 fixed Normandy textures on maps without island/british base
v1.3 Online2Summer map added, Slovakia,Bessarabia, MTO load ini files included for mapbuilding, ground airfields got matching brown texture instead of green, which was illogical
v1.4 Balaton map update, using Slovakia and Bessarabia textures
v1.5 Normandy maps update, using Slovakia and Bessarabia textures
v1.6 Ardennes, Norway update, using Slovakia and Bessarabia textures
v1.7 wood updates for: Berlin,Crimea,Finsgulf,Kiev,Kuban,Kursk,Lviv,Moscow,Net2Summer,Net5Summer,nweurope,Prokhorovka,Smolensk,Stgrad, so now PTO and ETO have a quite different wood setting thx to 4.09 textures
v1.8 Lvov map update, using more Slovakia and Bessarabia textures
v1.9 Online1Summer, Online3Summer maps added, Online2Summer map updated, using more Slovakia and Bessarabia textures, problem (loaded online instead full map) with Bessarabia load.ini fixed
v2.0 Online6Island and Online7Islands added
v2.1 Murmansk summer added, concrete and ground airport textures updated v2.2 Kursk, Moscow summer, Smolensk updated
v2.3 Berlin fixed/updated

Great! I've been waiting for when you would nicely package these texture enhancements with old and new maps. Looking forward to exploring these! Thanks Istvan!
- Guest - 06.02.2008
Lovely, just what I've been waiting for!
Thanks, vpmedia - I can't wait to finish work so that I can try these out!
cheers
- Huxley_S - 06.02.2008

I assume rapidshare works for you
- Guest - 07.02.2008
Well, tried a few random maps with theses new textures - looking good so far!
Really like the new look for Hawaii - Kuban and Crimea looking pretty darn good, as well!
Much more realistic looking....
A great effort, vpmedia!
Will still take a while to go through the maps, so more feedback in a day or 2!
cheers
- fabianfred - 07.02.2008
I looked at a few and liked what I saw......I especially like the texture on the Hawaii map which simulates rice fields...I saw this first on Lal_Rone's Okinawa map.... but far too little of it...living here in Thailand in a rice growing country...I can tell you that over 70% of the arable land is rice fields
Burma needs this texture too..... near any habitation...and japan

Hi VP as per Fabian I can never get filefront to work - any chance of a rapidshare link or download here ?
POMAK
- Vpmedia - 07.02.2008
youre joking right?
people bashed me for weeks to use filefront because rapidshare dont works
now you telling me to use rapidshare because filefront doesnt works
to be honest both sites work for me
- pomak249 - 07.02.2008
Well what can I say ? Just doesnt work - cant you just upload the file thru Mr Jolly ?
- Hunin - 07.02.2008
Looking great there mate.
Some pretty surprising and matching texture choices.
Are you planing to suplement some new textures from Slovakia and Bessarabia?
- Vpmedia - 07.02.2008
you see a blank page or something? you got any idea whats the source of the problem?
I'm making websites for living so perhaps if you could tell me more details about the problem we could figure out whats wrong. I'm 100% sure that its something on your pc, because I've checked both sites with IE and Firefox but no problem...sorry, but I dont want to do extra work becuse of some random glitch + I got all my rapidshare links removed here in a minute
