Ardennes retextured, retowned, revillaged - cyberolas - 01.05.2013

Hi pilots!

Another half year is over and I´m going to come to you with next map re-painting.
I´ve retextured the Ardennes maps with photographic textures.
First: I´ve canceled this terrible "desk over lines of Ardennes map" in terrain. Now you can see terrain what is continuing behind lines of the end of map. I´ve canceled strange ends of rivers and woods.
I created hills of slags around Asch airfield.
Next: I´ve made textures from Belgian, even if I don´t know, if they look like sixty-five years ago. Who knows?
and next too: I´ve made my first winter map. I think that it isn´t perfect, but I tried to make it good-looking. Some fields are with little snow, some fields with more. I did many experiments with woods, but winter wood is terrible I think.

how to capture screen

I would like to thank to Max_thehitman for his infomation about Asch airfield. We haven´t any air photo of this airfield, but many information about classic USAAF airports and hills of slag around it and so one. Thanks.

Here is a trailer for this map. You will see a few villages, fields, Bastogne, and so one.

RECOMMENDING:
Fly with Forrest=3 in conf.ini
Fly with Cloudtype=3 or higher or early morning in .mis files
Cloudheight 2300 or higher
Special attention:
When you will fly some famous campaign - Legend of Y-29 or something like this, you will able to see some effects:
Some smokes and lights will be over terrain
Some planes you will able to see take off over terrain in intros.
Thats why I edited terrain for better feelings.

Edit by SAS~Bombsaway: I'm adding the links for the BumpH files made by hguderian for the summer version and the winter version BumpH files that I made so members can find them easier.

hguderian's summer BumpH's. http://www.mediafire.com/?nirw7pzcukm3hpj

SAS~Bombsaway's winter BumpH files. http://www.mediafire.com/?02xgbt78na80e5o

Place the files in thier correct tex folder, winter or summer.

Cyberolas you are a map modding God! You took one of the worse maps & turned it into one of the best maps ever for IL2.
And old saying, 'you turned chicken shit into chicken soup'.. Brilliant, brilliant work!



On a side note, for those who don't know where to put hguderian's summer BumpH's: \MapMods\maps\_Tex\East\Ardennes
And for SAS~Bombsaway's winter BumpH's: \MapMods\maps\_Tex\East\Ardennes_winter

I wish I knew, I could have helped! According to my great Uncle who flew with 7./JG 11 (one victory, P-47,) during Bodenplatte, Asch Airbase (Y-29) is located at 50°58'05"N 5°35'0"E. Y-29 was a PSP strip cut out of a pine forest. Zutendaal Air Base is there now. He has lots of information.

Gives and Idea about Y-29


Again excellent work!
