I think your forest textures look more like a hardwood forest in winter, tab's look like evergreen forest. Both nice in their own way.

Does it replace the original?

If you want to have my map as default, just rename GW_winload.ini in wload.ini BUT you'll have to disable the other possible ardennes/wload.ini in your mods folders.
If IL2 finds more than one ardennes/wload.ini file, there IS a conflict

They will look great on all the other winter maps too.

Not for older ones : older winter maps have very bright (slightly blue) white texs. And on those maps, my runways appear too yellowish grey...
There's nothing I can do, because the game supports only ONE airfield runways texs set for ALL winter maps
To have a perfectly neutral grey would maybe fit enough correctly for all maps but not for this map, because all MayBug great texs are slightly warmer than previous winter texs.

Great work - adds a great new feel to the Ardennes map. Thanks

Thx a lot CanonUK ! Coming from someone like you .... I really appreciate

... and I'm also waiting so impatiently for your channel map !!!
I made a few coop missions a few months ago, using the beta map :



Here: http://gilles.babin.club.fr/simul.htm

But when I red that the def. one would not fit at all with the beta, I immediatly stopped working on those BoB missions, waiting for the new one !!!

Soon ?

OOOOPPS !

Forgot one thing : there's a little bug in the GW_Winload.ini file :

A section of the file should be :

[WORLDPOS]
CAMOUFLAGE = winter
MONTH=12
DECLIN = 50
PRESSURE = 745
TEMPERATURE = -5

...to have snow instead of rain when flying in very bad weather !

EDIT : to keep rivers not frozen TEMPERATURE = 1 will be good

What a great map! Nice job.

I don't understand the load ini conflict, With both ardennes in one folder there is

GW_winload
sload
tab_wload




What do we do with these to avoid conflict and have both maps available?

Thank you.

No problem of conflict in normal usage... there may be a conflict ONLY to use a specific map as DEFAULT one... it's obvious : there can be only one default map, after all ! :wink:
