Ok. a bit of an update

I've decided to almost start again with this. I've learnt so much from working on my BoB map that this extension is almost like a chance to re-do some of the things I didn't know or bother with before. I will be using chunks of my BoB map, but there'll be lots of re-done and new things to. FOr example, I'll be using:

- airfields and specific cities/landmarks
- height map (with extra for new area)
- Inflight map (with extra for new area)
- map_c (with extra for new area)

However, I've decided to completely re-do all the textures, as well as my approach to them. I'm heavily utilising the Romanian textures and I've also downloaded Gimp. Wish I had done so sooner since it gives so much more control over grayscale and textures than Photoshop can. I've thought really carefully about texture placement and variety and I think it's already given lots more to my map. I'll also be using Gimp to do the roads - something which caused major headaches in PS.

My plan is to use AutoPop to sparsely and generically populate my cities/towns and then copy and paste things from my BoB actors.static that I want to keep.

Anyway, some pictures to show you how it's looking. All taken from France (various locations)
