Many of the airfield objects and large facilities, like Tulagi, have to wait until we have "locked-in" the coastlines and the terrain elevations, which is just about done. Almost all of the small native villages are in, and one or two of the plantations. Here is a shot of one of the small villages, Visale, near Cape Esperance.
Here is a shot of the Iwi Plantation, on the northeast coast of Bouganville. The village of Korimira is in the background.
As you can see from the screen shot of a small portion of the 2D map below, the attention to detail, when it comes to village identification and placement (villages shown in pink font) is exhaustive. The information for plantation, village placement, and period correct naming convention is taken from Thrud's (T) superb research, using the late-1930s British Admiralty charts of the region. You will also notice that the map includes prominent landmarks, so that pilots can adequately identify current location, and use the online map to properly navigate The_Slot.
