Thanks for answer Blumax. 

As a workaround or to help you solve the matter, please be informed that if i select west runway/north landing point the planes will land west runway/south landing point, facing north.

So i have my workaround for my mission, but it's still counter intuitive, and i don't know (yet) how to get planes to land properly on west runway facing south.

That's a bit strange, it all works fine on my install, i'll have a little play around with it and see if i can alter the design a bit, it's got me bugged now and i want to find a solutionm it might be a day or two.

Hi Bravo, it's just a flying visit while i try and sort out some airfield issues with Bee's stunning masterpiece!

Bee, i watched a movie last night called ' Sisters at War ' it was a true story about a group of Australian Army nursing sisters and the nuns from an Australian Catholic mission station just north of Rabaul who were held prisoner at the mission by the Japanese during WWII, it was a good film and showed a small clip of B-26's shooting the place up, it got me right in the mood for playing your map this morning......which was not a good idea right before Helen gave me my first official flying lesson in her Cessna.... i got told off for messing about and now i'm grounded already until i get out of the dog house.....i only said  '' look no hands! ''......bloody women..no sence of humour!

@ Bee
Indeed, a great job, thanks But ... where's the river? ???

Or I made a mistake when installing the map?

[Bee]

That's it mate.   It's only a creek, much smaller than those big tendrils of ocean that Oleg made.

Hi Blumax, thanks for looking into that one.  Bit out of my depth there.
Hope you're out of the dog house soon.  Buy her a copy of Reach for the Sky as an apology.

I love this painted river!

Rainy day on Rabaul 44   TFM4.12

Anyone got some nice quick missions for this island map?
I am always looking for some new and exciting quick missions.
I want to try what you guys got.

[Gaston]

Installed all updates with LoRez textures. Just fantastic map ! Thanks !

If yer done with updates Bee I'll post the two single missions I have made using HSFX 7.0.2. they should work with 4.12.2 with MA 5.3 or TFM.  I have to warn you they are long missions going from Nissan Is to Rabaul and back first in B-25's and then second mission as the escort P-38's. 

Making up some USN missions for AG-51 which I will post on there as Single missions and throw in the coops as a bonus.  I'll have to switch out the Beast for Turkeys though, or I may put both versions out .

Cheers

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.

Bee, thank you very much again for the beautiful map.  It should certainly be ranked among the classics of IL-2 mod maps.

Regarding flying to Green Island - your instruction about following the Kamdaru and Weitin rivers is actually very helpful.  It is when you reach the end of these rivers and have to make the turn that gets a bit tricky - one need to get the angle right.  I really like to fly the P-38 in PTO - the range of that fighter and the two engines really help in such occasion.

Also glad to hear that you're looking at your next project - Malta and Burma would certainly be great choices, but if you are still deciding:

1)  You may want to take a look at this thread for inspiration (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=27841.0), OR
2)  If you are considering MTO and PTO - Corsica, Cape Gloucester (right next to your recent masterpiece) (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=8753.msg93295#msg93295), or the Philippines may be worth looking into.

Regardless of what you choose - we're sure that it'll be a great map and eagerly await.

Thanks again,
