Hi Real Darko!
You're right, 3000 is more than enough this information is just a proposal nothing more.
Regards

Hi, Piotrek1,

I tried to avoid the inclusion of Ostrava into the map, because it is so huge city with too much landmarks, so I have led the border of the map just a bit south of Krakow. Krosno is located even more to the south than Ostrava, so it is not included, I am sorry.¨Even the present state of the map will take weeks and weeks to populate, so it seems not easy to change the arbitrary borders of the cutout.

Many thanks for the list of German airfields in Poland, I suppose most of them are at the same places as those of Poland were.
I have also other sources - Fliegerhorste und Einsatzháfen der Lutwaffe by K. Ries and W. Dierich, and
 Rote Plätze: Russische Militärflugplätze in Deutschland 1945-1994 by Lutz Freundt , S Büttner ,
see some pics here:

Thank you very much also for other information sources you provided.
Best regards,
Ivan Uzin

EDIT:
On the contrary to Krosno, rocket launch testing site Blizna is included into the map, about north of Rzeszow. I have a book Akcija V1, V2 by M. Wojewodzki about polish resistance actions around that site.
 Krosno is present on default Lvov (Lviv) map.

It's got to have Schweidnitz, Ranwers. That's where the von Ricthofen family lived.

Btw, is not possible to have a "small village template" that can be copy and pasted on those smaller than 3000 villages?

[asheshouse]

Autopop is the way to go for all these small villages.
Thats how the WesternFront (Northeast France) maps were done.

I have some Autopop templates which I made for the Slovakia textures somewhere if they would be useful.
Its a long time since I used Autopop but I think Boomer has posted a good tutorial.

Yet another one of your ambitious Eastern Front that really fills a gap in IL-2. Looking forward to it!

Having the templates can save a lot of time. Contact Agracier, he knows how autopop work and can help with it.

I'm just back and haven't been following this thread. But 3000 villages? Autopop that number and you'll end up with the mother of all actors.static ... even if all the templates are small ...

If you make them with only a few objects, it's hardly worth it, as they wont really be noticed. Make them nicely populated with various objects and many houses, like a real village, then you'll have a behemoth of an actors ... dozens and dozens of mb in size.

I agree with you fully. But I think guys thought abou 3000 citizens per village as a limit, not the number of villages. I suggest to limit this number at about 250 cities/villages per map, or even less.

Cf. also my above post  #72.

You're welcome
Even without a Krosno it would be great fun to be able fly over this map.

Hi, Piotrek1,

Krosno is present on default Lvov (Lviv) map.

Exactly, and what's more somebody made some time ago "polonised" version of this map (with Krosno airfield too).



P.S. If somebody knows, who was the author of this Polish version, let me know (I need to know with his kindness some technical things for my map attempts).
