Glad you like the map Drew, can't do anything about Hueys though I'm afraid. Why don't you get yourself over to SAS and download the Skyraider, not a Huey, but much more fun me thinks. :roll:

Thanks very much for the info akdavis, looks like I'm going to have to alter my roads following your discriptions and seeing this picture. Do you have a link to where these photographs are or do they have to be viewed in person, say in a museum collection? As of yet I've done virtually no research into how Vietnam looked during the period the map is intended for, finding good photographs would help considerably when I actually start to populate the map. Have you come across any photographs of the airfields yet? These must feature somewhere in actual intel from the period and it is information I could really do with. My searches so far have'nt turned up anything other than map references to where they once were.

Most of the work up to now has been directed at getting the rivers working and trying to create some textures to help me give a sense of the place, hope I've managed that.

These are along the river near Hue.





Once I've got the roads in place the real hard work begins as I try to populate the map with towns and villages and whatever industry there was at the time

RealDarko, a texture for the rice fields is something to dream about isn't it, there are many maps that could benefit from textures or objects that could portray the effect well. Maybe one of the community's texture masters could provide such a thing.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
