You can make rivers and lakes open (not Frozen) easily: Open summer map and change textures in Load.ini to winter ones.
But, let me tell you that in SVIR front those rivers and lakes were frozen during winters.

OOH! I almost forgot!!!
Here is a small movie that i made (tested ZD Soft Game Recorder):
Its not much, but you can see the detailed city. Hope you like it guys!

Very cute little harbor

The aim is to release the map together with a number of campaigns, at least three: one Soviet, one Finnish for the Curtiss Hawk set in 1942, and another Finnish set in 1940, using the Gladiator and the U2S.

Here are some WIP screenies:















An important feature in this map is of course, the Onega, that big inland lake, a "sister" to the Ladoga.

Is there a bump on the airfield in the second to last picture or is the texture just out of place?

It is a texture out of place :oops:
Fixed :wink:

[Oh_Frustration]

Just add "HakenAllowed=1" to your conf.ini file in [game] section after Clearcache line :

[game]
ClearCache=1
HakenAllowed=1

Works only on modded il2 thanks to the russians for this find.

I don't even have the line ClearCache there! hock:

ClearCache just removes the files that where downloaded and saved in the missions/net/cache folder that you have flown in network missions, they are plane skins,pilotpics,missions etc.

It load's il2 quicker and saves a bit memory use for the game when it doesn't need to go through those thousends of files in the cache folder.

You might want to check how big that cache folder is :wink:

There is now a Soviet Campaign, at the BETA stage, ready to play-tested, for this map:

DELETED!

[lowfighter]

Nice, I'll fly it this evening

[lowfighter]

Hey Kapteeni,
I can't save a mission, you know this sort of bug

[kapteeni]

Hey Kapteeni,
I can't save a mission, you know this sort of bug

I,ll check the files again.
This "i cant save thing" appears time to time with new modded maps. It seems that IL2 cant read something. Sometimes its new objects, sometimes its tga files. If you change load.ini to some default ones, in SVIR map case you can use default finnsgulf or net5 maps load.ini. If that does not help, it is something else....
I have not used any modded objects. At least as far as i know!.
EDIT!
Try this new load.ini

[Viikate]

How about a good Winter War campaign with lots of historical skins & missions. I mean with the old big gulf map. Has anyone done this?
