WIP update.
I've been adding some towns, airfields, roads, railways. I don't have photos for almost all airfields so I"m winging it on what they look like. I figure most were simple single-strips and all-dirt (from what I've read) so I add field textures and use different parts of the Imphal runway to use as a simple runway. Then I add different fields of grass textures around that to make it look unique.
I'm kinda proud of my effort of Meiktila airfield. It looks similar to the real thing, in my eye, anyway.
I learned how to make roads and railroads and I've done the whole west side of Burma and parts of southern (added to FabianFred's). I still have all of Central Burma all the way up to north of Mandalay to do -- a bunch. And all of eastern Burma---not many roads there anyway.
Then I have to smooth the airfields in map_H.
I also changed up the ground textures of the Load file and it's a little different from FabianFred's version but I'm satisfied with the overall look of the map. As you know, it's difficult trying to get the right looks where you want them so we have to compromise with some issues of the game.
Are there any photos of airfields at Chittagong, Ramree, Akyab?
