Hi Kapteeni...
I'm having an issue getting this map to show in FMB....
it gives this error: section[MAP2D]not found in 'maps/Kt-finland/loadw.ini'
I've had an error like this a long time back, and can't remember what the problem was...
any ideas??
Thanks in advance :lol:

1. Check spelling or
2. Installation:

The whole folder is added under:

MODS/MapMods/Maps/

IMPORTANT!

Add these lines to the All.ini file:
Kt_Finland Kt_Finland/load.ini
Kt_Finland_W Kt_Finland/loadw.ini
Kt_Finland_wh Kt_Finland/load_sk.ini

That should fix it!

New Beta version available!
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=5c3e ... 8f5552c7e3

Installation:

The whole folder is added under:

MODS/MapMods/Maps/

IMPORTANT!

Add these lines to the All.ini file:
Kt_Finland Kt_Finland/load.ini
Kt_Finland_W Kt_Finland/loadw.ini
Kt_Finland_wh Kt_Finland/load_sk.ini
Kt_Finland_wm Kt_Finland/loadwm.ini

There is 4 different maps:

Kt_Finland is summer map and Kt_Finland_W is of course winter map with default textures.
This map is made with AAA UI 1.0 vanilla.

Kt_Finland_wh comes with Mbugs Slovakia textures.
You must download Slovakia winter map (Mbug_Slovakia_winter).

Kt_Finland_wm is wintermap with frozen water + Maybugs textures
Whats new:
Added 2 airfields (Estonia) for onliners
Corrected map_h
Inflight maps done
roads/railroads done
If there is no bugs, this map is ready to go!
DISCLAIMER:
This is not 100% realistic. I have done it for fun. This is a flightsim after all and not some

Thanks, Man !!!

I just a loading error with the W map (winter).

I opened the loadw.ini, and saw this at the beginning :

[MAP]
ColorMap = map_c.tga ---------------> I think this is the mistake !!!
HeightMap = map_h.tga
SmallMap = map_M.tga
TypeMap = map_T6.tga
FarMap = map_F.tga
ReflMap = map_R.tga


I made this correction :

[MAP]
ColorMap = map_c2.tga --------------> adding the 2
HeightMap = map_h.tga
SmallMap = map_M.tga
TypeMap = map_T6.tga
FarMap = map_F.tga
ReflMap = map_R.tga


and have to check now... hope it works !!!


edit : works perfectly now !!! so this was the mistake !!!

[kapteeni]

[MAP]
ColorMap = map_c.tga ---------------> Change to c2!!!
HeightMap = map_h.tga
SmallMap = map_M.tga
TypeMap = map_T6.tga
FarMap = map_F.tga
ReflMap = map_R.tga

OOPs! My mistake i check my load.ini files ASAP! Yo can fix iby youself or select everything in mods/mapmods/Kt_Finland/loadw.ini and replace this with this new loadw.ini (copy/paste/save)
here is the right loadw.ini :
[MAP]
ColorMap = map_c2.tga
HeightMap = map_h.tga
SmallMap = map_M.tga
TypeMap = map_T6.tga
FarMap = map_F.tga
ReflMap = map_R.tga

Hi Kapteeni. Loaded the summer map, works for me no problem, haven't tried winter will have to download the necesary files. Is Malmi airfield based on authentic photos? seems to me to be a better representation than the original on the il-2 Finish Gulf map. Helsinki looks great as do your towns/villages on the rest of the map. Colours look good also. Put my Finnish skin on the I-16 and took it for a fly around around Helsinki and the surrounding countryside, nice. Map saved no problem.

Regards, Pete. :wink:

Hi Pete!
Good to here that you like my map and it works.
About Malmi Airfield. I looked google earth and i could see the old runway so i used that as reference. I also been there several times in my life. Malmi is not excatly where it should be :oops: because the map is not 1:1.

[Mission_bug]

Hello again Kapteeni, I have now downloaded the winter Slovakia map so was able to try the other maps. All work except Kt_W I just get a Java runtime error message whenever I try to load it, if I alter the W in the ini in any way ie uppercase to lower il-2 crashes to desktop.

Douglas OH-LDA over Helsinki.



Douglas OH-LDA over Malmi airfield.




I-16 IR-101 flying in the Kt_Finland_wh map.




I-16 landing on auto at Nummela, oops, a slight ridge seems to upset things!




Iljushin DB-21 flying near Hanko in the Kt_Finland_wm map.




There was no problem saving or playing the three illustrated, and they appear to be as described, ie wm has frozen water, wh doesn't, so apart from the Finland_W there don't appear to be any obvious problems.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Nice screenshots Pete!
Kt_Finland_w with default textures load.ini needs lots of adjustments, so dont try it. Anyways, It looks too ugly compared to versions with Maybugs textures (TY Mbug, excellent work!)) . I think that i might not include it to final version. Summer version is almost ready. Cities need some polishing and may add something to countryside too.
I decided to have a small brake from map modding (day or 2) and build a new rig for LAN parties. It is a very basic
AMD 5200 x 2, 4 gig (3 for real) Club 3D 9500 Gt 512 DDR3, win XP PRO. I just tested it with IL2 and i get about 60FPS with 1280 x 960 antialising 4x.
That 9500 was only 60 Euros and it is real good for FAR CRY2 too!
I'll try to make Map ready for christmas, bu we'll see....
kapteeni
PS! I'll start new DCG campaign with that Beautifull Winter Ardennes map. Tune Rat Patrol Radio on and start to fly with my P-47D!!!

[Mission_bug]

Played far cry on the old X box, loved it. Need to buy the 360 and play Halo 3 and the new Far Cry.

I need to take time out from my favourite sim and do other things. Get a life me thinks.

All the best, Pete.

[kapteeni]

I been very busy with this map. Now i'm ready to publish it. I will send it to Fly Zo ASAP for approval.
Some screenshots will follow. I have polished the cities. There is new airfileld in Tallinn (right place).
Corrected map_h errors. I removed the default winter load.ini, because it just dont work. It looks too ugly. So there is "early winter map" now along summermap. Summermap will work with default AAA Unified Installer 1.0, but winter map have May-bugs textures, so they had to be install first. Link is here:
viewtopic.php?t=10025
I been testing map with offline missions and they are working fine.
When the map is ready, i will include information about fightings in the area during ww2. Here are the screenshots. Hope that you like them!

Picture of Lohja at the present time: As you can see, there is much more forests in real and some small hills too! Look at the lake and yo see heaps of islands

Here is Port of Tallinn:

And this is Tammisaari. Eken
