This looks stunning! hock:
Can I hint one suggestion though?

I think if you use Wood2 = forest/summer/rom_ForrestFar.tga,-2 in the load.ini, the forests will blend in better at further ranges..

Keep up the good work!
Eagerly awaiting this beauty; it open up some new campaigns I was unwilling to play because of the poor stock map.. 8)

Simply stunning hock:

Great stuff! Looking forward to it's release!

I like it better than what I had seen from Flight Simulator 10 (X)

Thank you

Triad

BTW- I am enjoying using your Iwo in my sig! Looks much more lifelike!

No time before to say you that : nice sign man :wink: ! what's the plane in the first shot ?

. . . what's the plane in the first shot ?

That's the P2 Neptune. I was flying that just as a recon flight when I first installed Iwo and it looked pretty good. It ended up to be what I thought was signature worthy.

Thanks for some great work here 8)

UPDATE decembre 5 - end approaching

I'm on the final part now, some 2-3 to improve and finally release :wink: . I'm putting some fields texture on the mountains, as many cultures in the world use volcanic ashes for agriculture. I think i found how to show a logic into my landscapes, I mean they appear to be the result of a natural evolution or a human activity in nature....so it's realistic.

When you are flying you can really feel that you are over at part of the world. I did my new cities textures too.

Here you have some last pics before release. I used white and black rendering because it shows if all this looks natural or not (it's good test for you map makers....) ....and because i have the intention to make some movies in Hero/Jafaem style. That's also why i'm interested on repainting some Korea map's as i think they are the ideal candidates for movie makers.

Enjoy guys and stay tuned because donwloading link is for soon, a matter of days i guess.

The Valley - This is a region in the middle of the map, there is a very nice valley between mountains. I added agriculture textures on the river sides.

10. US mig . There you can see a mix between the very first Kyushu texture and the new ones, they are integrated to avoid repetition effect.

Redko, this is really looking beautiful. I have one small concern: won't the very strong shadows on mountainous terrain conflict with the in-game lighting?



What if the sun is low in the sky on the same side as the deep shadows (rather than opposite). How does it look?

" Redko, this is really looking beautiful. I have one small concern: won't the very strong shadows on mountainous terrain conflict with the in-game lighting? " good question. i will have to make a test. i played some mission at different ours and of course shadows are in the same place for these mountains textures but i didn't notice any strange effect. in flight you don't pay attention to that

any news?
