No screenshots this time because this page is too full of them already.
I've been putting finishing touches on the area between Mineralnye Vody and Ordzhonikidze. Populated all the towns and villages. Using only copy/past to populate there are similarities in how things look but every village is unique. That's due to their textures looking different with different sizes too. This way i had to look closely and edit or add buildings. My pet peave is for houses to be on roads and streets. Autopop is bad at doing that. I wanted villages to have a real-look to them using the best of my abilities. I'm always experimenting in the hand-placing of textures to get the right look and feel of a place. It's like painting and it's fun being creative.
Roads, railways, and train stations have also been added. I tried to get them as close as possible to real-life routes but after all this is IL-2 so this map will not be totally realistic.
I'm now working on other cities outside that area. Places to the west and south in Georgia. These areas will not be as well done in terms of details but at least you'll be able to fly over the map. Will post more screenies on next page...if this topic gets more popular.
