This is great! Makes me think about doing a map of the Chicago area and Glenview Naval Air Station where many Navy pilots went through training in WWII. While it's use would probably be limited to training, they did have a converted boat made into a carrier in Lake Michigan.
Sorry for the OT: the point of my post-
Suggestion about handling the Static.ini file:
- If a map contains custom objects, would suggest standardization of map maker have a "Add_to_static.txt" document instead of them trying to furnish their own. In this manner, one would simply supplement their static file instead of over-writing it.
I've installed a few maps, and I found that the ones where a separate custom static.ini was provided was the most difficult to install. I understand that the authors are trying to simplify some elements of installation, but if you have other things depending on your current static file (like, the Ship Pack, Flag pack, etc.) it can create some unintended issues.
Thanks for listening-
