Hi Kapteeni,
The Israeli community has been helping 2bits (B.Bury) where we can with his map.
Speaking for the community, we are very excited about his map and definately appreciate any support.
We have a developers forum open specificaly for this map over at 242squadron website (if you like, please register and PM me when done so I will request they grant you access as its a private forum).
http://www.242sqn.com/phpBB2/index.php
Theres some information there which I'm sure you will find usefull:
Pictures of airfields, cities, towns, maps, the Hejaz railroad system, translation of documents, etc)
The Israeli IL2 community numbers around 30 pilots who regularly fly online in the various servers found on Hyperlobby, and I believe over 50 more who fly offline. We are also very much involved in the Scorched Earth Campaigns (SEOW), flying online campaigns with many squads from around the world. Most of our activity can be seen on our hebrew forum at www.preflight.us and our international activity through 242sqn's forum.
Speaking of the Italy online map, we did run a SEOW campaign (1948 Independance War) with 242sqn and 102nd Yugoslavian squadron on the Italy map back in 2007. It was tons of online fun, but could be so much more immersive if in the furture we would have an authentic map of the middle east.
The Israeli community's expectations from this map is that we hope we'll be able to use it in an online on Dogfight & Coop Servers and import the map into the SEOW database for SEOW online campaigns.
To this effect we are hoping that the map will be playable online. If the release version turns out too memory heavy to run online, we hope there could be a second lighter version of the map, tailored for online play (like done on several heavy maps in IL2).
In summary we are very much hoping to see this project come to fruition and the map being released soon, and appreciate your support.
If you need any help with translations and searching for researching hebrew documents, please feel free to PM me.
Appreciate your efforts!
