nice, using googel maps ?

a bit like this

edited LAL_normandy map, just for personal use.
over Carpiquet airbase
textures from googel earth around cean area.

[Compans]

Google Earth was the starting point. All textures have been heavily tampered with though to suit the IL2 environment.

good jobb

most have been a relay hard work to do all thos maps, so they fit together, absolutely when i noticed on the textures that u dont use any alpha canals on them, and btw way are u using 256 (8 BitsPerPixel) tga ?

i use 16,7 Millions (32 BitsPerPixel) tga.

hope some mapmakers will start to use them for there maps and mission.

now we need a skin pack for planes in tga 16,7 Millions (32 BitsPerPixel)
so the planes looks more real

Many thanks for the explanation and for the new link.

Great work :wink:

Yup...they're 256 colours. What exactly does the alpha chanel do?

what i have understand the alpha channel mixing the different texture together on the map,
like u can see here on the pic, i think that is useful for mapmakers examples to get more random farmland whit just two ground textures.

Blending seems to happen naturally between different textures.

Try this for Normandy map:

LowLand0 = land/summer/Compans_Marsh.tga
LowLand1 = land/summer/Compans_french_fields_2.tga
LowLand2 = land/summer/Compans_french_fields_1.tga

AirField2= land/summer/Compans_airfield1.tga

cool, i shall test that one, thanks

This is pretty extreme but for the full 'London' effect try this and set up a Heinkel intercept in Hurris or Spits at around 5000m in blind or poor weather:

trayd ur set up for Normandy but the engine cant faind this texture Country3 = land/summer/sand.tga
and i cant faind it in any folder or any of the fb_mapsxx.SFS files, is that a misspelling or a custom texture?

will replays it whit something else just for now so i can test how the map looks like, im abit exiting here
like a small child on x-mass 8)

[Triad773]

Looking forward to seeing your textures in Joe's map

Continuing to be impressed 8)

Yeah...you're right about the sand. That's one of mine I didn't include. I'm changing the list above.

Thanks for the heads up!

hum, i first tog th i have get ghost in my pc,
but then i found ut that this line is also wrong
Water2 = land/summer/rom_CoastLine1.tga
it should be water/rom_CoastLine1.tga.

ma by u can tell me where in the sfs i can find thso rom, Italy_DF, sk map textures, extracted all
fb_mapsxx.SFS but dident find them there, humm

[Compans]

Thanks again EQT. Changed the list above. Hope it works for you now.
