This map includes more than 60 unic and (as far as possible) historic airfields. A few airfields from 44 map disappear but new ones are there.
Attention : some of them are very short and not suitable for bomber operations, A few of them are very short even for fighter operations ,,, some are next to hills, towns or rivers,
Grass airfields are NOT completely covered with blankplates so please be careful: take-off and land only along axis marked with red/white markings at their edges, like that :
,,,and consider taxying at moderate speed.
Maastrich area has been reworked to include Eben-Emael fort.

Bugs (bridges/rails/roads/ buildings on roads/ IAs landing behavior) were tracked intensively during last weeks but some are still there, be sure
Please, also remember that this map is very BIG and FULLY populated ! There can be memory issues with too many planes or moving vehicles. I recommand using a 512mb or 1Gb IL2FB.exe (if available).
