Sorry Karabas-Barabas, but not for this map. A new map will have to be started to include the area further north.
For this map, I purposely made the north boundary just south of Armavir and Stavropol. There has to be a border somewhere and I feel that the north boundary is a good stopping place. I also did not include the city of Grozny and the city of Tbilisi. I did not include these larger cities because at the time that this map was started I did not know how to easily populate cities with objects.
So, for the sake of making the map easier to populate, I asked Farang to cut the satellite data and make the map's borders as it is now. Farang did an excellent job with the borders -- just as I had asked him to do -- without his SRTM data this map would have never got started.
In my opinion, the more northern area you requested should be in a seperate map, perhaps to include all the area up to the Manych River or Rostov na Don. This way the Russian 1942 retreat and 1943 counteroffensive could be covered.
It would be nice if someone could map that area but I have no plans to do it. I am taking a break from map-making and I don't know if I'll ever make another one again...but who knows what's in my future!
In closing, K-B, I hope you like this map as it is. It's kind of like the Moscow map not having Moscow city. We always wish for more but there are limits sometimes.
Have fun flying!
