That is FANTASTIC!  I love that scene. ALL HAIL THE AIRPLANE GODS!
It makes a island come alive... but wait!...
where are the natives?

Don´t worry,
I am already painting a few of them to add to the map scenes 

[max_thehitman]

Do you think you could make some totem poles and other cool native objects?
Thank you.

Sure I will. A few diferent types for diferent tribes.
Some of them look beautiful.
I once bought a book from Taschen about the North American Indian tribes in very early
photographs.
"Totem poles" were used quite a lot by many tribes living on the west coast of the USA and
all over Canada, as well as many tribes living in the state of Alaska.
South Pacific island totem poles are diferent in design. A little more scary looking and some
of them look like those giant heads from Easter Island.

Sounds great Max.

The islanders have an elephant paddock.....

I was just thinking about this... I could upload this right now but there will be many objects needed to be downloaded along with it to make the map work.

Such as my rusty runway plates, Max's objects week 1 to 4, Ectoflyers wrecked planes and SAS~Epervier's mod objects from 4.12.

Does anyone want to download this map along with all those objects or should I just delete them from the map and just make it a plain DBW retexture. I really dont want to upload two versions as I just dont have the time.

[max_thehitman]

Please post the complete map as you envisioned it, with those great island scenes.
If anyone would like to continue adding more stuff, then each person could do just that.
A plain map with no objects is always a bit dead. Sterile.
A landscape needs life in it.

Okie dokkie Max. I spent all day putting in a new hot water heater here at the new place so I'm a bit burned out but I think my next day off is sunday so I'll post it ans links to all the mods for the map.

[max_thehitman]

Why a water heater? It´s summer man!
Must take cold showers    
  Just kidding, don't freeze. Winter should be coming around the corner any day now, so get prepared.

I will wait with much anticipation for your cool new map.
It´s always a great pleasure to discover new territories, far away places, and
specially if its created by an artist with a know-how to put it all together just right. You got the style.

No need for you to include the objects into your map download. Just include them in the actors.ini and advice folks to
get the rest at the already posted downloads. That way you will have just to upload the map files and needed skins.

Your mighty good at doing land texturing on maps too, and not just those shallows textures as you had
experimented on in the past. Excellent artsy maps! That is what is also making this game such a joy to continue
exploring and enjoying for many more years.
There are so many old maps in this game that still need retexturing, that I might just take a break from skinning
for awhile and try a hand at doing a map, or a few maps. Just the other day, I was flying over some islands off the coast of
Florida and Cuba. Those Caribbean islands. They look awfully crazy looking with those old textures, but the islands are
mighty nice looking.
Anyway, take your time in finishing this cool island.
