Love it. 

[SAS~Tom2]

Glad you gents like that mod of agracier's wonderful Sidi Ifni map.
Apart Sidi Ifni's (to 'modern') changes, the colours and the scrub forest plus new airbase, all these wonderful topographical and village elements are from agracier and Uufflakke.
BTW I'd love to live there...beautiful culture, waves, sun,..amazing landscape.

[SAS~Tom2]

Wow, this map really kept me engaged.
And I cannot get enough of these buildings and villages.

A little fix for those who like to fly at earlier daytimes and without suffering from the very bright textures, which have to be that way IMO.

I used a dedicated landlight.mat with exactly agracier's values from Lapland.

Usually flying at 10.00 or around noon is not recommended with these saturated textures, now it is no prob.
Also at afternoon the ground looks a bit more real IMO.



16.00




10.00








File:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/a0ojrrdj59m6f0d/For-MapMods.rar

Put into:
IL-2 Sturmovik...DBW/MODS/-\MapMods\maps\_Tex\ag\Ifni2

Open load.ini in

..Maps/ag_uf_Ifni2


Find entry:

[LIGHT]
  LandLight = LandLight.mat
  CloudShadows = CloudShadows.mat


Change to
[LIGHT]
  LandLight = ag/Ifni2/LandLight.mat //LandLight.mat
  CloudShadows = CloudShadows.mat


Done.





Still optional, to run the map all files needed are in reply #3, first page..

Thank you Tom for this wonderful map. The re-texturing of the original landscape is great. My enthusiastic
applause and congratulations!
Thank you for this great gift.
It does have that African landscape look to it. I was born and used to live in Africa for a while along time ago.
So this brings back some cool memories.

I have finally taken some time out to download and install this thing. Only now because mainly due to the fact that you
now have about 4 different versions and it gets a bit complicated to follow the install procedure. In fact it is very easy
to install as any maps out there, but you have 4 different downloads posted about. I suggest to just erase all
the other posts and just post 2 versions. Every other post will just make it a bit complicated to follow what to
download. I must have download about 18 folders from Mediafire  LOL most of the files were the same too.
Anyway, its now done and its all cool and running in the game.
Thank you Tom. I hope you will also enjoy adding on some African tribal huts and some elephants from
the new objects packages to this map.
In the near future I will be creating some more African objects and will also be repainting some more new
Mideast/African houses too.

Cheers
MAX

Thanks Thorst. Good Job man!

[SAS~Tom2]

Thanks Max and Bravo! Yes, I was not that easy at making it easy indeed.
IIRC in post raply #No 3 and above I gave the essence of the jet base map versions.
So you only need one map. 

But to really choose it is also cool to switch between textures, the optional textures have a different look.

What really made the map noon compatible was that last fix posted.

I really enjoyed your new objects Max and also used some of them already in my Quick missions here.

Have them all installed so far.

Chrs

Thorst.

PS:
For those of you who found this too complicated, which it might have been:
Post #3 sums it up:
"
This is the map with airbase in + new village/town of Guelmim

https://www.mediafire.com/?ho7cfbtngzow3dd

This is the add to all.ini for the map:

ag_uf_Ifni2 ag_uf_Ifni2/load.ini



The textures:
(Again with sense behind, Ieft in 2 options which make for a sufficient different look.
Personally, I even made the map load as
ag_uf_Ifni2 ag_uf_Ifni2/load.ini
and
ag_uf_Ifni3 ag_uf_Ifni3/load.ini

To use any version. )

The "ag" texture folders go, as mentioned into:
MapMods\_Tex.

Version 1
https://www.mediafire.com/?4g179g9r1m1r1p6

Version 2, less contrast more saturation and darker
https://www.mediafire.com/?5g8vnv8h7mijgt3


Then you need the trees..in case you do not already have them. These trees (there in high res) are also part of Uufflakke's high resolution MTO and desert tree package btw..


https://www.mediafire.com/?2eoy1sdqm382m7p


To sum up from this post:
The map, which I have now uploaded in one final version, the textures (you can skip the alternative if you like), the trees.
Everything else are options I gave for advanced users to play around. 

I hate maps with too many things to play around, but here it made sense, at least for the tex.

The stuff with water and playing with forest mentioned in post 1 is really only for interested users, I use it "as is" atm. But changed water colour for one version.

PLus here are the Quicks

And- from post 26 in case you want the map darker and less saturated to also fly earlier at noon or morning:



File:

Put into:
IL-2 Sturmovik...DBW/MODS/-\MapMods\maps\_Tex\ag\Ifni2

Open load.ini in

Change to

  LandLight = ag/Ifni2/LandLight.mat //LandLight.mat

Done.


Cheerio.

Will later upload the map as I use it (the map folder only) and post it.

[BravoFxTrt]

Thanks Thorst, I was one of the confused, lol.

Thanks Thorst, I was one of the confused, lol.

tempting to respond to that quote

[SAS~Tom2]

PS Ok Bravo  
---
With the textures installed and the all.ini entry, this folder
https://www.mediafire.com/download/2efao2a33ajy7bz/Put_into_MapMods.rar

will give you what I fly atm plus an alternative for trees marked with // in case you have Boomer's hi res palm trees from his Pacific Islands WIP map tex downloads..
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,35205.0.html
 
-------------------------------
PS and for confusion
TBH I prefer to have this map in two versions, one with the default tex and one with the other tex:) and palm trees in DBW .

Plus I have the map in versions with
Wood0  = forest/summer/Jungle2.tga
Wood1  = forest/summer/Jungle4.tga

and one with
Wood0  = forest/summer/Jungle1.tga
Wood1  = forest/summer/Jungle4.tga

For wood..

E.g.

Lot of stuff to play with.-lol-
All entries marked with // are alternatives if you wanna play with them. (For advanced users.)

I decided to give it a last go and make some changes for Sidi Ifni version..in addition I decided to upload two versions, version Sidi Ifni mod version 2 with the more contrast and coloured look and Sidi Ifni mod version 3 with less contrast but more saturation and some new minor edits..version 3 is my definitive choice.
But now you can have both versions in one upload and install.

Version 2:
(Follow structure and put the new stuff into MapMods inside your Mods/#DBW etc folder and Quick missions into your
 Missions\QuickQMBPro folders.)
https://www.mediafire.com/download/i8soskjrjqq8034/Ifni+mod++map+version+2.rar
EDIT:
Open:
MAPMODS\MAPS\ag_uf_Ifni2
And change:
-map_c.tga_table
to:
map_c.tga_table


my bad...

Version 3
Same install!
https://www.mediafire.com/download/y8o1ao8b93qk5pi/Ifni+mod+map+newest+version+3.rar

Version 3:
I added a more real Sidi Ifni harbour dock landmass at the big quay section.
Also changed water color slightly.
Added UP~Boomer's trees (Palms) to this version as well.
Inside ag_uf_ifni3 map folder is an alternative load.ini, you can engage that one by erasing the two "--" symbols and will get a different sky layout for high clouds, the one from CY6's Korea maps.
An option.


If you like the Uufflakke desert trees from previous versions, you can rename each load.ini at the tree section, I let the desert.tree entry in.

The desert trees are also somewhere in this thread available, IIRC post one a.o.

Screens...




Thank you!

Worked on a new version with minor yet nice changes for more realism of my favourite IL-2 map by agracier and Uff.
Hope it will rock. I am  sorta proud to have invested so much time to compare the general feel to the real area.
