at my usual site .... http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/4397 ... sions.html
you need the "Thailand map" ..... and the "invisible_kronstadt_plate" (if you didn't get it already with the "ffb_line_scramble_map&mission")
also there are skins for Ki_21 and P-36A in Thai markings
and the "TreesTextures" are nice if you don't have them, because they are also on the map
from the readme........
add to maps/all.ini file .....
Thailand Thailand/load.ini
Alpha test version......using 4.09beta textures.....I have not tested in 4.08 or excellent settings as I use Perfect.
Being very mountainous, the North of Thailand, Laos and Burma, look their best when using the 4.09beta patch and the increased distance visibility available when using Perfect settings.
Towns and villages are only lightly populated .... and it is best if you install the new trees I have included.......being:
Coconut trees; Flame trees (two types); banana trees (three types); Bougainvillea;
The Kiev kolok tower I have sunk below ground level to look like a chedi/stupa.
The airstrips are 'In the rough'....so be careful when taxiing ....I have used an invisible kronstadt plate to ensure smooth runways for take-off/landings.
I use a detailed 2D map because although modern, is derived from satellite data, so the size and shape of the hills/mountains are exactly like you see upon the ground. I have added Black lines for the railways and red for the roads, so please ignore the modern roads marked upon this map which will have no equivalent on the ground.
I have made this map as a mix of old and new........I left the modern reservoirs in, which came with the satellite data, since they are pleasing to the eye on the landscape and are an extra help with navigation. There is a certain amount of Jungle, but probably far less than there actually was at the time of the Second World War.
All rivers are above sea-level, so if you look from the surface level you can see under the landscape....I do not intend to rectify this.
I tried to approximate the huge canal system in place in the Bangkok area, hampered by the minimum size of one pixel for rivers. After WW2 Thailand started to modernise in the 1950's and filled in many canals (klongs) in the Bangkok metropolitan area to build roads. It used to have the name of 'Venice of the East'.
At my download site ( http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/4397 ... sions.html ) I also have a version of the 'morenations' mod ....in which I have included some of the Royal Thai Air Force Squadrons from their 1940 orbat.
I have made a few simple skins with RTAF markings for the Hawk and Ki-21 and will post them to my site also.
Some useful reading is available at these links...
