Hi Uzin

Is Warzawa-Okecie missing from the Poland-1939 map?
None of the airfields around Warzaw looks like Okecie AFAICT.

Cheers

I am not at my PC  for a while, but I think AF around Warsaw were made strictly historical, according to the List of Polish airfields.
EDIT:
Oops !
I am now on my rig and found that Okecie AF is present on Poland 1944 map but not on Poland 1939, as it should be ! Wisiting Wikipedia, I found that Okecie AF was built in 1934. Unfortunately, I relied too much upon "Atlas Lornisk Polskich 1933", and omited Okiecie AF. Many thanks for reminder, you can take AF from Poland 1944 map, if needed. Enlisted into repairs of the map. in some future.
Excuse me again.

Hi Uzin

I've found some railway tracks not connected:

Railway NE Schlochau


Railways West Grudziadz


Railway North Bytom


Is this information of any interest to you?
I might bump into more issues later on.

I've also had problems getting the trains to pass the railway bridges, but I'm a FMB newbie so that is perhaps a normal problem?

Cheers

3. Add BFP to all AF
4. Repair any other issues you or anybody else will notice.

Thanks for cooperation.

N.B.:

Superior info VonOben.
Your ticket to the RusskiFront has been cancelled !

Nice work.

[vonOben]

Thank you Kopfdorfer! 

Uzin, the railway bridges are probably working as they should, it was only because I'm a FMB newbie that I had problems to get the trains over bridges. I've learnt how to do it now.

After a lot of testing in DGen_mod have I now been able to get a decent start frontline for September 1:st, 1939 IMHO.
But I had to make Konitz and Schneidemuhl Polish, because the lack of Polish towns in the North west part of the map.





A more accurate DGen_mod frontline wold be possible if you could add two towns where I have made the purple dots, for example Tuchola and Chodzoez.

Tuchola and Chodziez added.
Plating of AF with BFP continues.

[vonOben]

Many thanks Uzin 

Much appreciated!

Plating of AF with BlankFieldPlates finished yesterday.
Files ed_m01.tga and ed_m02.tga will be revised this week.

Betatesters  of revised Poland 1939 map can send me PM for beta version,
their help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Uzin

When I checked your map in FMB I had some problems identifying the name of some of the airfields.
There are for example  a few airfields around Warzawa and Breslau I couldn't identify.
Any chance you could add names for those airfields that doesn't have a name?

Cheers

I am not sure that those AF are named, they are probably made on the data found as follows: " auxilliary AF was 5 km SE of the village so and so" . But I shall look at this question later.
