Hi everybody,

The big Mideast map it's now complete. I've populated missing cities and fixed bugs.
I don't expect to add many new features as the map is becoming a little heavy with so many objects (don't be surprised if it takes some seconds to load).
The only big change that is still on the work is the update of airbases to their historical layout.
Beside this, I think that there'll be only bugfixing based on your feedback. Then, I'll concentrate on the 48 campaign.

You'll find v2.00final at http://www.gamefront.com/files/20374234/...unette.rar
Once installed you've got to install the following patches:
1) http://www.gamefront.com/files/20567278/map_F_rar
2) http://www.gamefront.com/files/20567355/...HotFix_rar

I've tested the version and it's compatible both with v4.09 and v4.10, please read the installing instructions (now released in english, french and hebrew - thanks IAF.Phantom-)

The release includes:

New features:
1) Added new objects (egyptian monuments, buildings)
2) Populated Cairo, Dumyat, Banha, Tanta, Damanhur, Abu Qir, El-Mahalla El-Kubra, Bilbeis, Helwan, Madinat Sittah Uktubar, Al Fayyum, Beni Suef, Adabiya, Al Hafair, Ain Sukhna, Alexandria
3) Added train stations to Cairo, Dumyat, Banha, Damanhur, El-Mahalla El-Kubra, Bilbeis, Beni Suef, Alexandria
4) Added ports to Alexandria, Abu Qir
5) Added Gizeh and Saqqara ancient sites

Fixes/improvements:
1) Made Suez Channel navigable (made it wider so cities and objects around had to be moved to the new shores).
2) Fixed/improved some layout textures, bridges and roads
3) Corrected shorelines and shallow waters
4) Removed bunker on Nir-Am runway end
5) Improved Nile layout near Cairo
6) Relocated Alexandria, improved river and shore layout

I hope you enjoy it and, as always, I'm looking for your feedback.

Cheers,

N
