Here's a lot of "Then and now" style photos of Debden from one of my favorite aviation artists:

This all looks great, really looking forward to this especially for the FMB!!! I was just wondering how good a computer you need to keep the frame rate smooth, sure looks like a lot of objects to me! You seem to have been working with frame rate in mind, so I was just wondering what kind of system you have (mid range or top?).

Mights seem a strange question after all the work you're putting in but will you release an unpopulated version for slower computers?

Thanks, keep up the awesome work!

Are we able to taxi through those new hangers?

I'm very glad to see so many details on airfields, however - don't et me wrong, no offence - the runway and the taxiway textures are a bit low-res, which make the whole scenery a bit cartoonish. That's just my 2 cents, I'm sure the Channel map will be the No.1. il2 mod ever! Keep it up, mate!

I was going to say something along these lines; but I thought it was a bit late in the day. I think it's the black outline. If it was high-res it would be perfect :wink:

Hi!

It's a good work. I would like flight on this map. I encourage to finish this map.

Respects!

Amazing job! , this is the end of airfields with Eestern houses puttted in the grass in middle of nowhere.
Lots of ambiance, and realistic atmosphere, same remark as Reflected's take care about asphalt aspect...
Another time all this high detailed job shows we are lacking vehicles to fit with...
In fact this gonna be now the main concern in the game to get close of perfect historical ambiance..

Anyway keep on going, will be a pleasure to fly in this landscape even only for touristic purposes.

A few pics. Been hard at work placing RAF airfields, which involved making even more RAF buildings so the atmosphere and feel is genuine RAF. All airfields are 100% accurate and 100% correct period - so this is how they looked during the Battle of Britain. Believe me - it's been a lot of research to ensure this is correct, but I think it's daft to have 1943 runways or extensions on a Battle of Britain map Smile
