You're all welcome. I really didn't do very much. Thanks should go to agracier for doing most of the work.
The download is 80mb because it includes several photos of Indochina airfields...the owner of FrenchWings website was kind enough to help out with those. Just thought I'd include those in case anyone else might like to see. I tried to make a couple of the airfields like the photos.
This map is not finished. I will not do anymore work on it. However, the door is open to anyone else who would like to add to it. I'd like to see a future release as a much more finished version. I'm sure agracier would like the same.
I'd especially like to see the Dien Bien Phu region improved. I added an airfield there but I think someone else could do a much better job populating it or changing its texture.
All of the airfields will accommodate jets. They have been tested. It was tricky trying to get the right runway position so that A/I planes would not crash into mountains. That took alot of work! The airfield at Lao Cai is best to make a landing at the northwest end but smaller prop planes should make it at the other end.
For skinners... here is a discussion about making skins for the Viet Minh airplanes with a Viet Minh insignia.

For fictional missions, I'd think of it as something like a Korean War scenario or just Viet Minh vs. French.
I'd like to see VM insignia on planes like the IL-10, Yak-3, La-7 etc.
I didn't get around to making any screenshots so I welcome others to add yours here.
Hey Tom2, Puerto Rico is still my favorite island map too!
