Hello all, it's been some time since I posted an update on this project so here goes just to show it is continueing as and when time permits.
Anatoli has been busy again detailing the map. He has information that deals with French military fortified camps within South Vietnam during the colonial period and has added three of these to the map as detailed in the information he has available.
Near Kratie airfield.
Near to Gia Nghla.
And finally near Tourane (Da Nang).
Thank you very much Anatoli, you continue to motivate and inspire me with this project.
I've also been doing a bit myself.
A road network now links most of the key settlements that appear on the map.
The red lines show roughly where these are, although I've not yet added the positions on the ed map. That will be done once all are finished.
I've also finally made an attempt at the City of Hue. It isn't exactly where it should be due to the rather simplified way I made the map to allow the navigable rivers. But at least it is there now.
It utilises the walls of I think Caen castle, the road network inside the city has been added but as yet no buildings. A texture is being used at the moment to represent those.
Fabianfred's canal objects and Delvpier bridges add further details, the bridges as you know are un-usable though.
I've changed the colour of the texture around the airfields now to a more Browny tint and also removed the wood effect from a particular area of the map because it interfered with one of the missions in Cracken's campaign.
An update of the map will be uploaded soon after I've done a little tidying up of a few things.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
