With a little smile I can remember the time when we were playing the BoB on the finland map with E-7 and Spit Vb some years ago. Operation cerberus was on the crimeca map etc.
Now, with the ability to modificate the simulation, we can create historical maps and new planes.
With the Unified installer the online community has its first mod pack with server support. I visited several servers which are working with the UI 1.1 and it is like a new game. The new maps with the textures create so much atmosphere. The planesets are getting more and more accurate.
The only think, that needs to be prepared much more accurate are the scenarios themself.
Example:
I was on 3 different servers where you could fly the operation cerberus. All 3 maps had different planesets and the position of the battleshipconvoi did not agree with the time. Even the airfields where you could spawn where different.
We have enought information in books and in other sources to make those maps historical.
My idea is to create a pool in the reference libary. There you can start a topic with a scenario (for example "eagle day"). We can put our information from books into this topics. Daytime, airfields, units, orders, weather etc.
At the end we might upload a template of such an scenario.
