People can easily copy and paste the PNG villages over but you need Max The Hitman's painted huts.  look for the villages near the lone airstrip East on the map at the foot hills of the mountain range.

Kirby

Kirby,   I don't see any villages there.  Just to be sure, they are located near the map coordinates of 13-CI?  I looked in CUP where this map is already included as are the new Huts, and I installed the map and Huts in my UP version which I use to modify maps.  I don't see them in either version.

The villages are straight down from the lone grass strip in
CH and CL and 11,10, and 9.

The villages are placed in an agriculture texture.
They are there if you have Max The Hitman's repainted huts.

Thanks Kirby, now I see them.  I was looking up North of that location.  Even when you know where they are you really have to zoom in to find them.  They look good though...

AH! That's a cool map.    I enjoy flying and exploring new jungle maps!
I am happy you are using some of my Pacific Island village huts on this map.
I knew that some day these huts would come in handy on someone's map. I think it gives the landscape more realism.
Glad you like them.
If you have a particular request for some other types of huts, just send me a PM and I will paint you another version.
Thank you for this map!

The huts can still be downloaded from this package - https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,36016.0.html

One of these days I will get around to painting some tribal humans for our game.
 You can then include the "head-hunters" on this map.

LOL, Max. Perhaps some cooking pots with missionaries in them!

Hi Max Nice to see you around again 
(The area on the other dutch PNG map was known as PNG's Shangrila a true paradise for the very few Westerners in the area at the time. You can search for old black and white videos of it on you tube)

I am sure you and I have discussed long houses in the past they are definitely PNG culture.

For Tomcat_Zombie  Please check your pm's ( I am wanting to compare the original map_c tga to the newly compiled tga. from the map_c tool box.) 

Rivers are at hold for the moment until Tomcat Zombie checks his pms.
I have started retexturing Cape York Peninsula.
(I am only using 2 airfield slots, and 3 city slots) ( I am not touching lowland to country slots)
Concerning the airfield slots
a brown texture PNG for the allies like in Port Moresby etc,
a green texture PNG for the Japanese airfields
a darker brown texture for Cape York Peninsula.

Kirby

Hopefully an update this weekend

[max_thehitman]

SAS~farang65 , I will check our already available 3D-models from the game, so I can paint for you
a new Papua-New-Guinea Long House.
I will get back to you very soon 

Good luck with the rest of this map creation.

[farang65]

I am patiently waiting for Tomcat Zombie to check his pms 

I have been making new textures for Cape York Peninsula.
I am working with four new textures only.

This takes some time to do with texture adjustments etc.
Working on the textures while waiting for Tomcat Zombie.

this Map is beautiful, maybe the most beautiful map in IL2

Texture Progress   



New Textures so far 

inland near coast savannah semi arid country

bush scrub coastal country

Trying to match the Forest Green scheme of the RAAF. This texture is an alternative wood texture. Will make a tree tga to give it more depth similar to the wood.


Some need to be altered a tad with the clone tool 

I have painted the majority of the east coast. Working on the bottom and west coast/inland areas now 
I am not using any particular sky maybe one from the current PART 4 sky pack. 

Painting textures in the fmb + and modifying/tweeking them take the most time 

Still waiting for T_Z 

[Tomcat_Zombie]

Sorry guys, I wasn't available these last few days (took some rest far from home).

Check your pm Kirby 

[SAS~Poltava]

Great job - THANKS!
