Spain, Northeast, Autumn. Thanks for working on & including these maps into a nearly effortless install. ~S~

Don't see the maps in QMBPro. Did everything to the letter.

Hi all, in special to Jir

First of all, thank you for these cute maps. Lamentably, I have founded this trouble in rendering. In all "N Africa" maps". Any light in the darkness?



SOLVED!: In conf.ini, [Render_OpenGL] HardwareShaders=1 (was =0)

Thank for your effort!
Algeria-Tunisia-Sicilia is a 1:2 map, sicilian airfields not hystorical correct;
Egypt-Libya-Crete is not only a 1:2 map but is also a fake, cause you put Ciprus down but you forgot Rhodes...

If you want to use hystorical airfield built on a real 1:1 Sicilia, ask me, I'll send you the map.

but is also a fake, cause you put Ciprus down but you forgot Rhodes...

Sure, Bigans?

All my maps are made after extensive research. All airfields are well documented. Just as roads and railways, which correspond with those in the period.
The realization of all these maps is a huge job. I've done it with ease because the subject attracts me.
Maps of Spain are 1:1 scale.
Maps of Africa are 1:2 scale.
The choice of scale maps 1:2 to Africa was well studied. In the game this scaling means that the time to go from one place to another is reduced by half. This allows the map area is 4 times greater. The cities, airfields, etc are actually 1:1 scale, but they are from each other in the middle of the actual distance. From the point of view of the game I think it's an advantage because it reduces the flight time on a huge stage. The maps are tailored to the campaigns in North Africa during World War II.
Finally a consideration: are free.

It´s actually the first decent North Africa map in Il2, very handy for camaigns - many thx for doing it - check this thread for the first dgen North Africa campaign with this map:

i´m also in the process to utilize the Algeria/Tunesia/Sicily map for dgen campaigns, very nice work as well

after installing this map i also found many other maps that before i had no as for example Taranto map, but the problem is that after installing this map i can not install other maps, because my all.ini now has different map from what i have in the game.

In HSFX6 \ Mods \ Files \ maps: all.ini edit and add lines off other maps added

thanks

I apologize for having conceived and written that the author has omitted the island of Rhodes
This is a very interesting map, great job! Thank you again for your efforts

@E69_Bucaral
Yes, I'm sure. Probably I've understood the problem.
The software to cut maps does not consider the deformation of the globe. Therefore, the larger is the map is, the larger it will  deformed.

The upper right side of the map (N.E.Cyprus) is 35°48'N. If you want include in the same map Tripoli, using the same latitude, you will include part of Rodhes an even part of Malta, as you can see by the picture below.



@ RedEye_Jir
My I have your permission to mod this map, I want to cut away few sea and include other islands as I wrote. With a little mod we might bomb/torpedo Royal Navy from Alessandria to Malta, wasting hours and hours of fly!

in the HSFX7 version i have a problem with the map sicily north-africa
