Many moons ago I started making a historical campaign for the Brewster Buffalo in Malaya. The project eventually folded when I got fed up with having to build a new town for the target area in every mission. So I'm starting again, this time from the ground up!

I intend to produce a larger Malaya map, extending it northward to take in Ipoh & Kuantan airfields and southward to include the islands south of Singapore and the Riau archipelago. From this I'm going to extract a 100 x 100 km DF map centred on Singapore.

Features that I will be adding or correcting when compared to the original Singapore map:

Add Naval Base
Add Keppel Harbour and Telok Ayer Basin
Add prominent buildings in Singapore and other towns
Add railway to Singapore and delete non-existent railways elsewhere
Delete mythical 2nd causeway
Portray roads as they were in 1941
Add or reposition towns and villages correctly
Position Malaya airfields correctly and delete non-existent ones
Correct depiction of Singapore airfields
Add flying boat bases at Seletar and Kallang
Vegetation! Greatly increase the tree cover over the whole map
plus whatever else crops up.

I've started work on Malaya first; when I have the topographic detail sorted (map_c, map_h etc) I'll extract the Singapore DF map from it and go to work on that in detail.

Screenshots to follow as and when. It'll be a lengthy process so please be patient. Currently working on map_c.

Cheers.
