As you know, after having only replaced texs on their slots on my winter maps pack, I finally decided to work on map-T file.
I don't want to do some complete maps creation, so my work keeps modest as I want my maps to be used as older stock ones, that way, older missions & campaign can be flown on them.
Not only, better texs but also more slots used. On my latest Norway map, I want the map to be more snowy as we go north. So, not a single tex slot keeps empty.
The rule to break repetitive pattern as far as it is possible, is to mix together at least 3 different texs, to use together uniform texs & contrasted ones, to put large patches and also very small (1x1 pixel) ones, and to alternate landscapes according to land topography.... and finally to use creativity instead of rules :wink:
