Hi Tom. Still going with it. I hit a wall around Christmas when RL got in the way, as it does at that time of the year. Have made more progress however since December.
Below are some shots of improvements to Rabaul township. If you compare to earlier wip shots, you can see the new underpainting and shading that the roads, trees and buildings are getting. This is applied to the ground texture and helps bed all the objects down. Previously all the objects just seemed to 'float' on the surface. I also put in hundereds of little tracks between buildings. Aerial shots seem to show a lot of those. The effect is quite nice and really makes the place look inhabited.
Also added a scruffy section of beach to the town texture itself, that way it won't stray too far inland. Moved some coastal roads to more accurate locations (about 3 metres east).
I still need to sort out take off and taxi points. Something I know nothing about yet. The revetments need repainting too as an optional extra for users. The active volcano may need reskinning too, as it was not nearly so covered in ash as it is today.
Anyhow, enjoy the screens gents
