At the moment I'm working with the Lapland map which I haven't touched since it was published. I think I could have it finished it in two weeks.
In addition there is some rework going on with the Gulf of Finland by Kanttori. He's going to retexture it and rebuild some Finnish cities. He estimated that it will take two or three months to do the job.

If your update 'll be finished before my map consolidation mod (I believe not before the end of november ) I'll add it into!

If further works 'll be finished after maybe compatibile entries for all.ini and maps_ru can be added directly to the download so who add them 'll got a common installation with all other users....

The updated ag_Lapland map is now available.

The changes that have been done:

Airfields
- Vuotso airfield added according to FAF documents
- Billefjord airfield relocated and reconstructed to be a float plane airbase like it historically has been
- a nameless airfield removed from the middle of nowhere in Swedish Lapland
- Ivalo airfield reconstructed according to FAF documents
- Alta float plane airbase reconstructed
- all other airfields fine tuned and AI taxiing behaviour tested
All the airfields that map includes have existed and have been used by the Germans 1941-44 except Karasjok airfield which was left there just for fun.
Autumn and winter airfields wear partially new textures tuned from the original one.
The roads on Finnish territory are reconstructed to match better the situation in 1944. (I’d be delighted if somebody could tell if there is any kind of information available concerning the roads in Northern Norway during the war)
Added new place names according to a map printed in 1944.
Objects: note that there are summer textured objects on the winter map because of lack of similar winter ones.

The updated map file structure can be downloaded here:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/7hh87q6sw6c8v6e/ag_Lapland_v_1.1.zip

Just unzip the downloaded file and copy-paste to your IL-2 folder and replace the old files.

Note: If you don’t have the original ag_Lapland you’d first download the _Tex folder here (it is a big one and may take some time to DL):

Hi mate!

I tested the new Lapland version and only the summer map is working flawless , the autumn and winter map give me some issue when zooming at ground level (the error happen as the game shift from ed map to the 2d textures) , in the specific the game screen lock and the cursor disappear so I must to exit by task manager....

The error is a neverending series of such entries:

WARNING: Render0TL: Exception!
WARNING: Camera: unexpected 'ActivateWCM'

With the previous version of the map all is working flawless....

Hi W_S,

That's very strange. I just wonder if anybody else's got same kind of problems?
The DL files are exactly the same I have in my computer, and all maps are working just fine.
I haven't added any new objects, just two new textures which are included in DL zip.

BTW, do you use OpenGL or DirectX?

Anyway, I'll check the DL files if there is something wrong.

I have never seen that kind of error messages and I hope that somebody could explain them...
