Thanks for your answer. I agree with you. Map making can be very disappointing in this community. You had a lot of work during months for poor feedback or critics
Myself, I forgot to give advice about The Slot : AMAZING
That's the reason why I proposed Philippines for your next project. You are almost like a professional team, so I think important maps are reserved for you... and there are two in Pacific : Philippines and Rabaul area. So if people wants Rabaul first, it's a right choice...
About advices on 1/1 or 1/3 scale, I think it's also a choice. I know it's better 1/1 scale for reality... but then you have to choose a part of the area... and which one ? Any part you choose, you have to cut some parts of islands, like in Guadalcanal, and I don't like it. An other point is time of flights, who has time to flight three hours to flight before seeing any ennemy planes ?
I made 1/3 scale for some reasons. First, I tried 1/2 but Cmap tool don't give me a valid file, due to size limitation I think, otherwise I would have choose 1/2 scale. Second, 1/3 scale is already huge for a map like Philippines but it stay playable in terms of time of flights. Third, keeping the whole area, you can make double scenario, 44 with Leyte and 41 with Luzon and also Borneo... don't forget the KNIL !
So I think I will keep this project as it started and work on it at my own slow speed of a lonely man... and maybe I'll release it even if I know there will be a lot of critics...
If you choose to do it, let me know, because as yours would be much better, I would keep mine for myself :oops:
Any choice you make, it will be the good one
