Aleutians Map WIP
#16

Well on my current map Kiska is already closer than it should be. It is properly placed with regards to latitude though. Many Oleg-approved maps have cheated distances or are not true-to-life representations of what they should be, so maybe I can make this map as a compact style Aleutians.

IMHO, it would be the best that way .... i don't like time skipping black screen .

yes exactly...scale must be change i think....as ours originals maps on Il2 because it must be playable.

i vote for an islands chain with a scale more appropriate :wink:

I am member of FAW team ( http://il2-faw.org/ ) ... and before Sound mod I thougt to create an Aleoutian Campaign...with Marianas Map ! distances are playables...

A member of FAW team was modifying this map (rise in the relief) ... but with your project..it's in stand by.

Well without changing the scale, I can cheat distances and bring the land masses closer together. I'll add Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) later on tonight and see how it looks.

Oops sorry if I took away your project. Was not my intention. Once I get the terraforming done I will gladly offer my map files to your team if they want to contribute.

Well the thing is that I'm working on the Slot at the same time, which is not something I should be doing...2 things at once. I should concentrate on one or the other.

Also, I was using this map to test things for the Slot map. I dont know if I will have the patience to texture it completely.

So like I said, if your team wants to contribute, by all means just say so and I will offer up my files no problemo.

Here it is with Unalaska and part of Akutan Island:

Not very geographically accurate, but it should be a map to play some good scenarios on.

Well the map is taken from Hawaii, and that's 320kmx160km. Plenty of space for many different types of missions.

nope , files for new maps are with those funny (example:013245..DRE..) names .... to find them you'll need to open each of those ... recognize and properly rename .... so far only load.ini ( thanks to Lowfighter)
