Is anyone making a map of NG, NB, NI with Rabaul or the Solomons that extends to include Rabaul?
Rabaul was the target of countless bomber raids and we do not have any map that covers it. Yes, Rabaul was by passed by the ground pounders but this is a flight sim and there were thousands of sorties on Rabaul 1942-1945.
There already is a map of Rabaul on the latest Tainan-Kosho mod pack ... if you don't want the whole pack with aircraft mods, here is a cut-out:

As for choosing which areas to make a map of. It's mostly an irrational and personal choice I suppose, but in this case it was mainly brought on by watching 'the Pacific'. Just thought it would be an interesting area to make a map of.
Your maps are "top shelf" Agracier. I would never say they were irrational. I was just curious why a much needed map had not been produced up to this point but I suspect I think like a navy/bomber pilot and there aren't too many of us out there.
@@@New question. Is there a way to merge this Rabaul map with the Solomons? I think I saw you address the subject of merging two land area maps with water boundaries somewhere; maybe over at SAS.
