MrOblongo, let me know how the trees experiment works out. I do need to add forests to the jungle areas. Will it affect file size much or slow frame rates any?
I've been spending time redoing some airfields. Lengthening, eliminating parts of some, and adding parts to others. I also changed Charinga to a north/south instead of east/west. I learned this was the actual direction from the book SILENTLY INTO THE MIDST OF THINGS about Beaufighters stationed there; has a photo too.
I just got the book but the Beaufighter is becoming one of my favorite planes now. Learning alot about its operations and tactics in this theater.
I know the fields are repetitive, especially in the central/southern region. I've tried experiments but I'll keep at it. If you discover something better then let me know OK.
The terrain during non-monsoon months is very dry almost like desert conditions. Some rivers even dry up. This was the time period when most of the fighting was done. Monsoon months brought operations to a halt, mostly....
I have been debating on how to do this with this map. Should I put dryer textures or leave it lush and green? Green is prettier :wink: but maybe not realistic for operations :?
Could possibly do two maps; one dry, one green. I'll experiment with dry textures.
I'll also be adding buildings to towns around airfields so that will keep me busy.
