Requesting Okinawa repaint - RealDarko - 29.10.2009

Hello!
From the pics I can see in Internet, both old and new, the island of Okinawa, looks pretty green and almsot totally cultivated.





Can someone please give a repaint to the Okinawa map? Maybe with Bessarabia crops??

If someone can extract the map for me i can.

I already retextured some maps : Kyushu, Hawaii, Guadalcanal, New Ginea, Italy online and now ItalyAfricaGrece (soon ready for download)...but always with pre extracted ones.

I don't have the total knowledge for extracting but if have the entire file, i can. It would be great, Okinawa is good for missions and the stock maping is horrible :wink: !

For exemple for Okinawa it could be possible to do something like this, screenies from retextured Kyushu, with new forest, new agriculture, new cities textures:

1.


2.


3.



4. HIROSHIMA here....looks better


5. same city....


The thing is to find the local tone in order to make you feel "in".

Is this the kind of photorealistic thing you want ?

HI Csocso

Looooool :lol: .

Of course it is IL2....and downloading will be for very very soon....this week end I think. I'm just finishing some details. Stay tuned :wink:
I'm photographer, so it's normal if you percieve a photorealistic rendering. The final goal is to reach the most realistic rendering as possible due to the limitations of the game engine.

Hi RealDarko

Thanks for the link, but Vpmedia recals me that Lol-Rone did a version of this map, and I used it and guess what..............................................................WORK DONE !!! :wink: 8) .

I started the job last night as I read uour request and idea was in my mind. I used for your map some textures from my version of Kyushu, and some new ones. I spend my free day on it and it's finished now.

Look at this, and i will ask you something before make it downloadable for the community.

NO PHOTOSHOP HERE :wink: . No gapa neither, pics as natural as possible. directly from fraps. I'll post some edited pics for fun later :wink:






We need hight resolution skins for planes now.......look at that wing :roll:

So.

What do you think about that? Not bad right? Textures are from Google earth, so they look "local". Okay cities looks too modern, but it a compromise between realism and lack of historic material...

Ok the question i want to ask is in the pics we can see the montains, but in plane, the landscape looks to plate to my taste. Before release for downloading, can some one produce a map with more volume?

It would help for realism.

- RealDarko - 29.10.2009

I'm speechless. I really love it. A map with more columen will be amazing, but those textures are simply gorgeous!! Thanks mate!!

---

- redko - 29.10.2009

thanks to you RealDarko :wink:

the idea of retexturing this map, and all those from pacific campain was in my mind for month, but wasn't shure some one would be interrested.

i'm checking the link you gave me to compare stock map and Lal_Rone one, i will take the best one. i'll wait a little if someone can offer a solution for the mountain problem. be patient guys, soon ready for download

Are the textures at low altitude as wonderful as at high altitude ? 8)

---

- redko - 29.10.2009

Hi dup

No of course these textures are made to be seen form altitude....they came form google earth so nothing more normal.

in the same time, stock textures are awfull for low and hight altitude...so if i have to make a choice i prefer to have bad textures on the ground and perfect one in altitude, as this game is made to fly, it's not Grid :wink: .

but i use only 1024x1024 resolution, so even form the ground it's ok, not perfect but ok. there is no fps problem in using 1024x1024 texture, my pc deals it fine.

- redko - 29.10.2009

Dup i will try to make close to ground pics to show you.

Would be so great to have realistic roads.....instead of these horrible rectilinear ones... :roll:


Nice mountains but little higher would be perfect.

Good news !!!!!!

Can't wait !
