Yep I'm done.  Thinking about Malta and the default Burma map now. 

Anyone tried flying back to Green Island by dead reckoning yet?   Scary stuff as you really start to doubt yourself by about the halfway mark. 

I cheat, put a YG beacon

[352nd_Hoss]

Awesome!................... I did put a Beacon on the island for those that like to use realistic navigation....................

A map for your consideration could be the Philippines............. your textures rivers, roads and airfields would be awesome on that map.................  and I could redo my missions for that map on the Bee RRR map......

Thanks for Rabaul Bee

Hi Bee. Finally getting around to installing your wonderful map, but..........how to ? I have not installed a map before and despite some advice from 242 Squadron, cannot figure it out. I would like to install this map into my IL2 4.12.2 HSFX 7.02. Have downloaded Boomers objects, but again, where to put them ?

[Boelcke]

it´s described here:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=37295.0

the only difference to the HSFX pack is that the Mods folder in DBW is called

#SAS

and in HSFX it´s called

Mods

so, you have to replace #SAS/MapMods/maps with Mods/MapMods/maps and so on ...

Thanks Boelcke, problem is I don't have a "Mods" folder. If someone can post the exact folder structure for both the locations of Boomers objects and Bees map files it would help. Sorry to be a pain, but I'm used to a somewhat more, errr, structured approach to modding

[baders]

OK, I see Bees map download has a Mod folder. I put this under.......................? ........and with that (Bees) folder/file structure intact ? Where do Boomers objects files go ? Yeah yeah, I know, I'm a numpty.

I made an "easy install" file for my squadmatesusing hsfx 7.02, see if it helps: http://we9xoivfns.1fichier.com/

Thanx for the swell map, it's wonderful. I d/l the latest version and it works well however, I do not have spawn points for Green Island. Am I missing something?

[baders]

OK, some progress, but still no luck getting Bees Rabaul or Bombsaways Coral Sea maps to work I have done the following.

For Bees map.
1) Created a Mods folder.
2) Placed (following the folder structure of Bee) Rabaul_1944 folder under Mods/MAPMODS/Maps
3) Entered "Rabaul_1944 Rabaul_1944/load.ini" in all.ini and saved under Mods/MAPMODS/Maps in [all] section.
4) Placed Boomers objects 4 x files under the IL2 root directory.
5) Winmerged Boomers static.ini with stock static.ini and saved under Files/com/il2/objects

Shift Tab shows last line says "Runtime error......Rabaul_1944 load.ini loading error."

For Bombsaways Coral Sea I have;

1) Placed Bombsaways_CoralSea folder under Mods/MAPMODS/Maps.
2) Placed BA_CoralSea folder under Mods/MAPMODS/Maps/_Tex
3) Entered "Bombsaways_CoralSea Bombsaways_CoralSea/all.ini" in load.ini and saved under Mods/MAPMODS/Maps in [all] section.

For this one, I am getting a similar error as to Rabaul above. Other maps load just fine.I really want to get this working so if anyone can help it would be appreciated !

[Gumpy]

When you press Shift Tab in Fmb baders does it say anything besides Rabaul_1944 load.ini loading error?If you look at it carefully it should say something about a tga file that's not loading properly or something that might give you at least a clue as to what the problem is.

[baders]

Hey thanks for the help Gumpy !

Shift Tab FMB says for Rabaul;

Internal error; Texture buffer XXXX too small for XXXX bytes
Internal error; load texture from tga (Maps/_Tex/Rabaul/rabaul_township.tga)

rabaul_township.tga exists in that folder. (It is there).

For Coral Sea;

Can't open file ....................transparent.tga in Maps/_Tex/Trees

transparent.tga does not exist in that folder.(Not there).

Any ideas ?
