[WIP] New Map - Gran Chaco Map
#1





Finally finished a map that can used in game. This is a map of the Gran Chaco region in present-day Paraguay, where in the 1930's, Paraguay and Bolivia fought for control over this region. The map is mostly of flat plains and wide open spaces, along with some outreaches of the Andes in the west.

Present-day borders are given on the map, along with 1930's contemporary village and city names, some of which have changed.

Historical research and much good advice and testing was given by Cracken, who by the way, has a campaign for this map in the makes, reflecting mainly historical battles and engagements. Skins for Bolivian and Paraguayan aircraft will also be available with this campaign.

Quelty gave invaluable advice on placing of textures in the load.ini, an affair that might otherwise have become complicated for installing.

Please remember this is my first map. There will be many shortcomings. For some reason, probably due to not having rivers at sea level, there are no bridges in this map. But no fear, as in this part of the world, rivers were probably more often forded in shallows, than otherwise. This works in the map as well. Vehicles can ford rivers at road/river junctions.

Object placing is somewhat sparse in this map. The Chaco was a largely un-inhabited region by modern or even contemporary standards. In later versions this might be rectified by doing more work on towns and villages.

Airfields are correctly placed, except for one fictitious airfield for Brazil and Argentina apiece. All airfields are largely rudimentary airfields, once again reflecting the situation in the 1930's.

Download instructions are included in the rar file, as well as the 'add to load.ini' line.
