Here's something of a quickie - a new map featuring the southern continent in one of its most extreme landscapes - Tierra del Fuego/Straights of Maghellan.

UPDATED with forest/woods

If you have previously installed this map and you would like to have the map with woods textures, then you can alternatively download the updated map_t.tga and then copy it into your map directory 'ag_Maghellan'. Overwrite the old file map_t.tga when asked.

This map is of course not strictly a WWII battle area. But it is so stunning and striking a landscape, that I couldn't resist. It is also hardly populated, even in this day and age, so creating cities/villages was not much of a time-consuming task.

There are 4 airfields in the map - 2 Argentinian and 2 Chilean. One of each nationality is represented as a backwoods airfield of hardened earth, these are fictitious but useful since distances are quite vast and airfields otherwise far and in between.

One potential 1946 type 'what if?' scenario that could be played on this map would be the following. Instead of dying in Berlin, Hitler and a bunch of goons and followers have made a deal with Juan Peron and receive permission to set up a base in the remote area of Tierra del Fuego. There are advanced aircraft on hand (Lerches, Gotha's He-162's etc).

But the Allies get wind of this and come looking for vengeance - they send a carrier task force and the hunt is on.

This is just a suggestion of course as a possible tie-in to Il-2 1946.

Here are some screenshots:

Thanks for this. 8) 8)

[karstele]

Ecellent map. Beautifull landscapes. Just 1 thing. Tierra Del Fuego is famous about it's forests as you can see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_del_Fuego
But that is easy to fix. After that It looks like Middle_ Earth LOL. I will try it someday

Amazing "End Of The World" Campaing. Tierra Del Fuego was often called "The End Of The World" because of being so far south. It would a good campaing for Submarine Hunters since many German Submarines escaped to Argentina.



Thanks for this map!


A map of the Argentinean province of Cordoba would be great too since lots of German/Argentinean experimental planes were tested there.



Cheers!

Well I am kind of in teh same are but in a 1.2 scale...
And I am a bit more ambitious with the scope jeje, I include Antartida, and Georgias besides Malvinas/Falklands...




May I borrow soem Textures?


And, my freind you got the plane set wrong, You need P 47N

Sure and of course. It's all for use by anybody who can use anything. So many other members make their mods and skins available. It's only fair to reciprocate the pleasure.

That's easy to fix ... I'll get an update for forests while I castigate myself for this oversight.

Was getting the same problem...The North of Punta Arenas is dry grass mostly (pampa) and some parts of Tierra del Fuego. But if you go southern it turns with lots of cold forests and glaciers. Its a pain to texture this map manually... (still lot to do)... Agraciers skins were great for the Pampas areas. But im using the vpmedia Norway textures for the rest of the map.

YAbout forests: take a peak at Google Earth and you

[RealDarko]

Baco ya que la pagina esta inoperativa, que clase de aviones tendriamos para los chilenos? P80, Texan, P47N... algo mas?

[Baco1170]

Que yo sepa, eso, pero Mr.Oblongo deberia poder darnos un poco mas de informacion al respecto .

Del lado argentino Panthers, Corsarios, Centaros (G55), y dependiendo de la 'epoca, Sabres de la 4ta, o Glosters de la 6ta.

Te recomiendo otra excelnete pagina de aficionados al IL-2: www.goafenix.com

Si hombre creo que Chile ya tenia B 25's pero que tipo exactamente no se.

[Ectoflyer]

Well done, Agracier!
Another piece of world in Il2...
We could use it together Malvinas map for the Malvinas/Falkland conflict of 1982, now
that we have a lot of jets...
And now I can go searching and strafing Bruce Chatwin! :wink:
