...BTW Have you counted working hours Pacific Team put in this map? Must be thousands. THX m8s!

I haven't actually kept a log. I joined the team in late-January and, since then, I have averaged about 4 hrs./day on weekdays and 10-14 hrs./day on weekends. I am not the most efficient worker, but I have definitely learned how to work smarter.

With what we learned on The Slot, construction time should be significantly reduced for follow-on projects.

The biggest challenge with The Slot is the requirement to accurately portray the battlespace during different times during the campaign; with the Lunga Point area being an excellent case in point. When the Americans landed on 7 August 1942, the Japanese airfield was incomplete. By the end of the month, the Americans had already finished and lengthened it. By December 1942, Henderson had been expanded considerably, and Fighter One, Fighter Two were fully operational. In April 1943, Carney, Koli, and The Crash Strip were all completed.

When a player launches for a mission on The Slot, proper airfield apperance needs be right for the timeframe of the mission flown, or immersion suffers. That is what drove the multiple map version requirement.
