What's the scale of this map? I hope it's 1:1... Thank you! :wink: 8)

Oh yes indeed. I've made a vow to stick to 1:1 maps, 50m = 1 pixel and all that.

I tried making some maps to a smaller scale to get more area on a map, but somehow I feel that the landscape gets distorted too much, especially the mountainous areas just don't feel right, they look too mountainous, too odd and bumpy.

It's a delicate equilibrium finding a good landscape to map. The Caucasus for instance seems to defy all attempts at producing something acceptable in the way of maps - the valleys are not flat enough, the mountains too bumpy ... very odd.

Then again other places on the planet produce magnificent feeling landscapes to fly in for Il-2. There wasn't always something going on in the way of wars or aerial combat these last 100 years (lucky for the inhabitants), but it's irresistible to not make a map of these places.
