If you can't get the data you want; base it on the appearance of Demblin. Just make a few changes on the basis of educated guesses.

Uzin, here is what I've found:

Radom:

http://odkrywca.pl/forum_pics/picsforum24/radom2.jpg
http://www.konskie.org.pl/2011/08/wrzesien-1939-na-polskim-niebie-praszka.html Radom - 3rd and 4th set and 1 photo of Torun on 5th set
And videos made by german pilot in 1939 mainly in Radom:

I didn't found much photos of Torun's airfield:

http://www.turystyka.torun.pl/upload/image/199_22twierdza.gif Torun fortress

http://modele.aviatv.pl/viewpage.php?page_id=100 Mainly photos of Plock but in the middle of this page there is a map of polish airfields constructed between 1919 and 1939.

Many thanks for these photos.
I shall try to do my best,
and repair some  unsatisfactory features according to the users future proposals to WIP map.
Btw, there is a circle with name TORUN on one of photos, perhaps it is from the time before this airfield became a military one, I guess.

Uzin, Torun airfield was military at last from 1920. But this airfield was used also for civilian aircrafts. Mayby this is the reason why this sign 'Torun' was on the grass? I'm not sure. It's only a supposition.

I've found another photos and map of this airfield:

Thanks for your great work.

Hello Uzin,
I'm really impressed ....
Tell me please, how white circle with "Lublin" name was made?
Greetings!

Tell me please, how white circle with "Lublin" name was made?

I think Uzin created text with the small and large white banners.

[ls]

Aha, I'll try make it this way;-)))
I'm asking because sometime ago wosiu14 created these circles for some Polish airfields (Krosno & Lwow) as separate objects... But maybe it will be faster and easier method...
Greetings,
ls

[Uzin]

¨@ls and Uufflakke:
The circles were made as individual objects containing the name of the airfield. It icontributes much less to the size of actorst.static than the method indicated here by Uufflakke.

It is simpler that it might seem.
1. Create the folder, e.g., LUBLIN, as follows:3do/airfield/LUBLIN/
2. copy/paste there the folder 3do/airfield/PlateS/AirfieldS/
3. copy/paste the file 3do/airfield/PlateS/4.tga into the folder 3do/airfield/LUBLIN/
4. open file 4.tga in GIMP and replace the layer there present with  new layer where white circle with the city name was drawn, save the file as 4.tga with overwriting, keeping the original   transparency and replacing the original content.
I hope it is simple enough and understandable.
EDIT:
It is sef-understanding that the path to new object is written properly into static.ini file.

EDIT 2:
Besides of PlateS, also some folders in JIR_MOD could be used, where are simple plate objects .

EDIT 3:
Static.ini input:
Old:

[buildings.Plate$AirfieldS]
Title           AirfieldS
Mesh            3do/airfield/PlateS/AirfieldS/mono.sim

New:

[buildings.Plate$LUBLIN]
Title           LUBLIN
Mesh            3do/airfield/LUBLIN/AirfieldS/mono.sim

Thank You very much Uzin, indeed it seems to be simple ;-))), I'll try it as fast as possible.
What dimensions of a circle should be (maybe have You possibility to upload Your LUBLIN somewhere, please)?

Here it is :

I made arbitrary diameter of the circle, since I have not info about regulations on it. You may do it according to your best knowledges.

I am a "new" - so maybe moving the old case, but I'm talking about the river. They are far too broad. Practically find the river in Lublin is difficult - on the map is nearly Amazon. Maybe a better solution would be to omit the small streams that do not have strategic importance? (Similar comments had to map Belarus-rivers and watercourses is not seen in practice for the cabin looked like Volga)

Essentially, you are right.
The problem exists within Il2 engine, where it is hard to create the rivers sufficiently narrow,
or as you suggest, to omit some of the waters. Which for to eliminate the width ?
On the other side, rivers are very important landmarks for the pilot, so their total omitting seem undesirable, I think.
Perhaps a pool would solve the problem ?
As for me, it is nothing simpler than to remove the rivers in Mymap_c.tga, assuming the suitable  criterion is generally accepted.
