Hmm... unfortunatelly - my PC can not handle this map 

I installed it, but when I want to play "trial" mission on this map - I see my PC strugling to load the mission... and by the end of loading - it gives some crazy message of "paratroopers missing... etc"
(looks like a classic memory lock)

... and complete game becomes unstable

When I reboot my Windows7 64 - I can normally play other maps.

With my 4G RAM I never had such a problem.

Was it necessary to create such a "hardware hog" map ? Is it possible to create light version of this map ?

Believe me, the way the map should have been populated to accord just somewhat with the 'real world', the version available now IS the light version ... had I continued adding objects, the actors might have ended up at least double the size - and even then you could fly over parts of the landscape and not see much in the way of objects ...

Have you installed the 4gig memory mod?

Paratroopers issue ´has nothing to do with the size of the map. It is has been excplained somewhere else. I can't remember what that paratroopers thing is... i remember having that long time ago...

Here is a single mission that is a part of a campaign I made of an german ace with 80 + victorys in france and fatherland, that started his career in Lufthansa and flew JU 52 in Polish, Denmark, Norway, and french campaign. He flew some missions in russia before he finally got his transfer to fighters. He died shot down from behind by a P51 just luckily going thru  the clouds behind him and his wingman during 44. This campaign had might some say too many missions with JU 52 , but I just love that plane.
It is about a delivery of spareparts to an airfield and is quite symbolic about what happends when escort just dont do theyr job. Same with enemy fighters that  was destined to shoot this flight down rather go for other juicy target`s. This way you never know how the mission ends.

Mission was originally made for Kt_sylvari but I changed it to this beautiful map and nothing is like formation flying JU 52 around this map.
It is not populated that much by me and the text disapeard when putting it over to this map. You fly as No. 3

Thanks agracier... but what is 4gig memory mod ? Never heard of it...?

Does anybody else have a problem with mission struggling to load (after fine create/save/play...) ?

[cgagan]

I don't have any problems with d/loading the map, creating/saving/playing missions. I run a 4.101 SAS mod-activated game, and my computer specs are, Intel I5, 4 GB RAM, graphics card, Nvidia GeForce, GTX460

Here is a 1 gig memory mod:

4 gig memory mod
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,2476.0.html

Instructions and explanation can be found in the threads, but what these mods essentially do is free up more memory usage so that you can load the game faster and fly with higher frs rates.
Check the threads out. I've also applied the 4 gig memory mod to other programs I have installed and they benefit as well, the mods are apparently not specially made for Il-2, but Il-2 does profit from them.

I got a new rig with SLI 2 x gf 480 i7 2.8 6 g ram
ofcourse i dont have any problems with loading time, but it is not  longer in this map than other big maps, shorter than x channel map

Is that "Friction Mod" just a matter of takeoff & landing on grass patterns... or is it essential for a map loading ?

The former.

[kapteeni]

The Paratrooper error can be eliminated by setting S3TC Texture compression
In root IL-2 folder click on il2setup.exe
on video tab click custom,then set texture compression to S3TC

Right. I remembered it when i was at work...

And thank you guys for your comments. I have recieved lot's of comments and suggestions specially from Finnish players.
Map of this side is a great challenge. There are some airfields missing. This is not a 1:1 historical ww2 map, but it will give you a hint how big is the area in real. As Agracier wrote, this IS a Light version...IL2 engine is reaching it limits...
making this map was my aim when i started to make maps way back in 2007.
I was lucky that Agracier and other mapmakers have helped me a lot. Agracier has done most of the work for this map. I was mostly a primus motor.
I personally like smaller, but more detailed maps. But this map is my favourite map of all Team International Brigades makings.
When flying over it i feel extremely proud and happy that we now have covered almost every FAF areas of operations.
There is still Lapland missing for FAF/LUftwaffe wars....Yes, Finlad did have a war against Germany in 1944-45.


Zuti has made so many helpfull applications that he deserves a Victorian Cross or Pour Le Merite or Finnish Mannerheim Knight Cross.
Besides. Mr Agracier is one of the best guys to work. We did have so many nice chats about everything from politicts to... ladies (of course<<) and ww2 aviation and modding in general.
I'm missing those. They were the best parts.

Maybe we will make map or 2 together for IL2 1946.. Who knows?
But for us, this map is paractically done... But of course anyone can edit it and make it look even better.
Hope that you guys have as fun to fly on it, as we did when we were making it.

PS. sorry about my english...
