Ok, following my poll I've decided that I will extend my map so that it covers more of the English Channel. The map will look like this:

My plans for it are as follows. Firstly, I'll develop it as an extended version of my current online Battle of Britain map. That means a few more airfields and towns. In the interest of a small actors.static some of the cities will be very sparse, but mission builders can always add to them.
Following that, I'll change the actors.static to represent the state of play when the RAF and USAAF were conducting fighter sweeps and bomber raids over this area of France. (I've been inspired by Pierre Closterman's 'Big Show'
) Since I have plenty of info on the airfields in 1942/43 I'll be able to make a nice accurate updated actors.static.
So that means two different maps from one map, if you catch my drift
I know the same area is being covered by other teams and I applaud their efforts, but since I'm fond of smaller maps that are friendlier to my old PC I quite fancy an online version of this area.
With regards to the current Battle of Britain map, once my beta testers have got back to me fully I'll release a 'beta' for public download but I won't put any improvements into it if there are any bugs - the extended Battle of Britain map will supercede the beta. At least this way you don't have to wait too long to bring down a Spit MkI over Dover
I'm looking forward to this!
