cztx_BurmaLower map version 2.1 is now ready for download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/lmnyunmnt ... erV2.1.zip
This is the final version. No changes were made to V2.1 which is found in the WIP Maps Forum. If you already have that then there is no need to download this one.
Installation:
unzip the downloaded file and put the folder named "cztx_BurmaLower" into your Maps folder found in this sequence:
IL2 1946/Mods/Mapmods/Maps/....
add the following line to your Load.ini file:
cztx_BurmaLower cztx_BurmaLower/load.ini
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very special thanks goes to Fabianfred who got this map started.
Version 2.1 improvements:
1. A more dry look with Agracier's textures. Most combat in Burma took place during non-monsoon periods which were very dry and dusty with desert-like conditions.
2. Use of new textures. Inspired from ideas from MrOblongo.
3. Corrected errors in roads/railroads.
4. Added Delvpier's Mods Bridges to almost all river crossings (except where ferries used).
5. Smoothed rivers to have a more natural look.
6. Eliminated the burmafield/rice paddies texture and replaced with a dry scrub brush texture.
7. Improved ed_maps for better in-flight geographical navigation references.
8. Added a couple new airfields and changed some airfields waypoints for some others.
9. More buildings populated in cities/villages.
10. Eliminated surf on beaches.
11. Included an extra Map_T file as an option. One has more jungle area south of Rangoon, around Bassein, Akyab area, and Ramree area. The option: "Map_T_Dry" does not have these jungle areas but has dry/desert looking textures instead.
(if you don't have the UP2.0 or HSFX then you might need to install KevinP's Road/Rail plates MOD. This MOD has the curved railroad tracks and I experimented some in this map with them).

Toungoo Airfield - Just wanted to add a new pic showing the new Ki-44 MOD - it was used in Burma and air defense of Rangoon.
