I downloaded and installed your new map, patched with patch v2b, and also played all the missions you uploaded.
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS HUGE AND FANTASTIC WORK!
Is this the normal landscape with straight canals near Bangkok?
Also, after taking off with your B-24 mission, I noticed this:
Is that a normal sight? There seems to be a wrong or missing texture, I don't know.
In this one, A6Ms and Ki-21s took off from an airfield with strange green textures on the runway:
Also, I got strange error messages when opening the console in game:
Missing file: Buildings/Thai/Pagoda/Live.sim (cannot be loaded, etc). I could not find a Pagoda directory in 3DO/Buildings/Thai, only a Farm one. But this entry appears in the static.ini, hence the error? I also have 2 House$ThaiFarm entries in the static.ini. Any reason for that?
And finally:
Cannot load HMask1_3DO
Cannot load HMask2_3DO
Cannot load HMask3_3DO
The last three meesages appear in the console near the base when flying the RAF attack mission.
I hope this feedback will be useful to you to further improve your already great map.
Cheers,
Vincent
thanks for your feedback.....
yes there was an extensive canal system around Bangkok ...it used to be called the Venice of the East
but because we are limited to a minimum width of one pixel....and no chance of smooth curves in the il2 game engine, we have to put up with angular looking things like this.
in the V.2b patch I included a new large plate I have been experimenting with ...this one represents the old moated city at Toungoo ....(picture from google earth) ...and there are another two to the NE of Tonle sap in Cambodia to represent Angkor Wat
the green bits showing through the runway are where the ground underneath the plates is a bit uneven ... i just ignored it
the missing files can safely be ignored too
