Well, first files are quiet easy to have with tools provided here, 1 day
After you have to find the right textures for your map, and it can take several days, I mean full working days, if you want to create new textures.
But for me, the most difficult was to populate map, cities, airfields, harbors.
As I was alone, I decided to have a help using Autopopulat tool for cities and airfields.
But it is a very versatile tool. For example, you can place exactly he same area of pixels at two different places on map_T and you have two different populated places :?: :?: :?: :?:
I worked full time, from 07:00 to 01:00 (passions!), since Saturday !
I intend to release an How-to Pdf, because I have some good tips about manipulating map_c, using Autopopulate tool, using Gimp and Photoshop for textures and so on. Nothing pretentious but some help for newbies (...as I was !) who would make their own map.
For new project, it is not really possible because I start a new job on Monday... I had plenty to do for that but with this map I made ... nothing !
But since a few days I have an idea on my mind,... and DEM files on my computer : a fench base in Asia surrounded by some places named Gabrielle, Dominique, Anne-Marie, Isabelle, Beatrice, Huguette, Eliane. Do you see what I mean ?
But this is not for next week...
