Weird idea....
I was looking at the proposed Bouganville to Rabaul map and it got me thinking. I grew up watching Baa Baa Black Sheep (Black Sheep Squadron, whatever it's called now). So I was thinking about Vella La Vella to Rabaul. Looks too far to make it...
Back in the day, we were able to start aircraft "off the map" at sea, or over flatland. You can even build an island out of that big cliff object, test runways, etc, out there "off the map" by putting it together, then moving the position in the text file by X thousand meters.
What if we picked some crappy ground object that doesn't get used, and replaced it with a new object... and the object was a whole island.
Make a 3d object of an island (group of islands, even?) and use the "reserved" object number for it.
If you wanted the Bouganville to Rabaul map, but wanted Vella Lavella, you could make the mission and include the mod that replaces the "reserved" object with the island.
Possible?
