And I thought this one was with a bomb/artillery explosion in it. Working textures sound almost like science fiction! Great!..

it is amazing how different those 8 islands look from aboce, whole lot of variety in vegetation and topography +land's and coasts charakter.

Uufflake example is using fire and smoke objects really, but combining that with lava textures will be nice

Thanks for the pictures

No, they aren't fire and smoke objects. It's an old mission (2006) I found at Ubisoft and when you install that mission you will see they are exploding Pe-2's.
The link to that mission is in my comment on the previous page.
The funny thing is that sometimes you see them popping out of the volcanoe.   

But looks nice though...

Textures look great, but some things to keep in mind.

1) Sometimes commercial pictures will have unusually intense blues and greens due to the use of filters and/or photo editing tricks. I think that your textures strike a good balance between the "too yellow" textures of many of the stock maps and the "too green" appearance of a tourist postcard.

2) Volcanoes have altered the coastline of Hawaiian islands (especially Hawaii) over the last 60 years. Don't use modern aerial photographs when placing your lava flows!

Thanks! I'm not changing too much the map_T, which says where are the different textures. I'm changing it a little but not too much, otherwise would be a huge task. But I'm playing carefully with the textures so they look as better as possible. Many of them will be completely new.

Some updates, I've been some weeks really swamped with work.

Mauna Loa is doing nicely, you'll notice I've eliminated for the moment red lava, I'm going to limit it to very specific spots, otherwise the map has too much of it. Those spots will look very nice, but I can't cover all the island of red lava

VERY nice. Cant wait for this one. Great work Cat.

Just beautiful! Good Luck with that project, I'm exited about a new Hawaii repaint of this great map. My favourite theatre area in IL-2 with deserts.

Nice work man, you have been progressing a lot with texturing. It's gonna be a nice map.

Whitecat, you are fast becoming one of the best texture makers. Hats off

Cheers pal. I'll take care specially of the lava for you

Thanks mate!

Yep I'm focusing on the textures. As you know we can't change the map_T of this map with your 'brush' technique, is too big and gives memory errors when opened (at least for me) but I'm using other tricks to change it, but not massively

Some updates on jungle and cliffs: I'm starting to be really happy with them , I won't change them too much more. But still work needed on live volcanos, beaches, agriculture, cities and some desertic islands.
