I've always made maps in 4.09. It's an old but trustworthy install that I've kept up to date with new objects, textures and what not.

Now however it may be time to start doing this kind of map thing in DBW. I know that somewhere in amongst the threads there was an instructive posting about to set up  map maker with a DBW install, but I've looked through the list and can't seem to find it.

Can anyone give me a link or a hint or anything on the posting, or explain how to set up a map maker in DBW?

So it is the same as for the older versions then? Nothing new needed for DBW or such? ... many thanks ...

That's what I'm using in 4.10 with HSFX5 -- no changes.

Agracier,
                  the bldconf.ini is the only file responsible of what the Builder class loads as plugins for it. So there isn't any difference because in one case (the default) you invoke the plugins for Mission Building and in the other (you can clearly understand it by the name) you invoke the plugings for Maps Building.

  The plugins themselves have minor changes on them between 4.09m and 4.101m but you call the plugins with whatever internal features they have, it's transparent for you. That's why with 4.08, 4.09 or 4.10 you only need to switch plugins through bldconf.ini and you are done.

  Regards,
                       Pablo
