New Maps for Africa - Dakar / Madagascar / Mozambique
#23

1) Dakar city uses a lot of Egyptian objects? These kill FPS if used in large numbers, due to very high polygon count I understand. Also they are not visible from far away. Could you consider swapping some of them for original IL2 houses and buildings?

2) Madagascar does not seem populated enough around Diego Suarez/Joffreville? I would have expected a rather big town in that area, but maybe I should study more...

Thanks in advance for your attention.[/quote]

Maybe I should make a light version of Dakar - though when doing the populating I had to continually repress the urge to keep on placing objects ...

On Madagascar you're probably right. I did an amount of 'research' on the area during WWII - even went digging in my own oversized library from way back when i was a WWII nut. I couldn't really find much at all in the way of Madagascar other than some very stylized maps and an article or two. And i was quite certain that the names we find on Google Maps nowadays, are different from what the villages were called back then.

I did spread some villages and a town or 6 around the coastlines, but without giving them a name or a text reference.

Adding some extra towns and villages is probably just the thing to do in the upcoming period though ...

I'd say stay tuned for updates ...
