The New Falklands/Malvinas Map.
« on: October 20, 2012, 02:33:26 PM »
This is a map of the Falklands/Malvinas and the South Georgia islands. This map was cut out of the Atlantico Sur map so credit for this map goes to Baco and RealDarko for the original.

Credits...

Farang- For so much its hard to list it all. Spot texturing, airfields, coastal work and so much more.

Blumax- For cutting out this map, airfields, taxi and parking points for the AI planes, Teaching me unlocked FMB and constant moral support. :)

Agracier- For the Map ed. " The picture of the map before you zoom in to the map."


Install:

1- Place the BA_Falklands_Malvinas folder in your maps folder.

2- Place the BA_FalkMal folder in your _tex folder.

3- Add the all.ini entry to your all.ini in your maps folder.

4- Place the 3do folder in your MapMods "#DBW/MapMods/" folder so you will have two folders in there. The 3do folder ann the Maps folder.

5- Add the static.ini entry to your static.ini. Do a search in the static .ini for PCPPlate and place the new entry under that one.





Here are a few pics of the real place...

The Falklands/Malvinas...







The South Georgia islands...








My pictures....













I have also included a mod for new rusty metal runway plates because I would think because of the snow and ice and salt air it would rust out the metal plates that I would think they need there for traction. I need to work on them a bit more to make them look better but I'll post an update later.



I have had so much help from some of the best mappers out there. I thank you all. Farrang, Blumax and Agracier. Without all of you and your help this map would have not been.

I am proud of how how I was able to get 90% or better no tile effect. There may be some but not a lot. I hope you all enjoy it.

Now with G's penguins...

UPDATE: I took a few minutes today to update the map. It only affects the South Georgia islands. Added more snow and some ice flows that I saw on google earth.







Credit for textures goes to Blumax.

Just replace the map folder and tex folder and thats it. :)

HiMark,

Just saw the link this morning.

Will definitely have a fly around this afternoon.

I see a number of changes you have made already especially the runway  matting.

I prefer your rusty matting   ;D :D

Easy Install Mark with the new plates  :D

Cheers

Kirby

Thank you Kirby. You helped me out SO much. I hope the others will give it a try. I hope Baco and RealDarko will like it too. They did a great job with the original map so I hope I did this one to their standards. :) Also, it was Blumax who sent me a version of his matting and I made a different version with the rust so the credit goes to him for that. :)

Thanks Bombs!!!  8)

I don´t usually add maps because I am not that good modding my game, but this one I most definitely want!

I will love to fly in these islands as the brits and Argentinian did, moreover the South Georgia Islands are a must have it for me.

I am a big fan of Shackleton and would love to fly over "his" islands!!

Thanks again for your work!!

It really was a huge combined effort. Farrang, Blumax and Agracier. These are some of the best mappers in IL2 and I was very lucky to have their help. Cheers to them. :)

Another new IL2 great "world"-scenery to fly into... I'm pretty sure blacktails sqn will have some "A-4 Skyhawk" missions
over the area very soon...  ;)
Thank's for your work.

Edit : test flew it. Scenery looks far better in game than the above fotos can show... Good job!
