Hi Mick,
apologies for that landing field. It is not even supposed to exist!  Just a slip of the mouse, I'm afraid.
will remove on next update.
Regarding trees: yes- I agree the trees are wrong.   
My ignorance is profound on trees - but I'll look into it !

Dear fritzofpeace,
that's a great looking skin on the 110.
is it available?

Hadn't planned on uploading it (my non-historicals don't get a lot of downloads) but, hey, since you asked!  Just uploaded to M4T, should be available shortly.
REALLY appreciate this map.

Hey ... what happens to my map ..... ?? the horizon is black ...

[fatty_finn]

Hi stanislao
Sorry- I cant offer any help on the black horizon.  I've never seen any problem like that, with this map.
Has anyone else seen this?

Thank for reply....  SIGH....
a shame ... your map was really spectacular ..

Why don't you post your log?

Log is useful for debugging not only planes....

Dear all,
thanks Mick for the comment on the trees. I've removed most trees, for a new update of this map - plus removed that airfield too.
But, before I release the new version:
a question about compatibility of 4.12 maps with 4.13, Modact 6:
neither of my 2 maps [Norfolk & Gilf Kebir] will run in 4.13.
They open OK, but you cant place any object on them.   
Fearing this is all my own fault[!]: I have to ask: is this a problem specific to my two maps?  -or a general 4.12 vs 4.13 incompatibility?
The relevant bit of my log file is below, I think.
thanks for your advice.

Hi, your map works great with my SAS ModAct 6.01 install (413); I can save and load missions

Hi fatty_finn,

You could also use Uufflakke's desert trees ...

They are Hi-Res but it's easy turning them into 8 bits (I can do it for you to spare you the necessary time, if you want ... )

That is a very good idea : many peoples do not use HiRez mod, to save lot of space on their HD !

[fatty_finn]

Hi Gaston  & Mick
Gaston: pleased to hear its working in 4.13
I just noticed a post in the Modact 6 thread that may address my own issue with these maps.  So, seems the problem isnt with the maps themselves

Mick: seems we are on the same page!
the new version of Gilf Kebir does indeed have some of Uufflakke's trees included.  They dont appear to be hi-res - but I didnt do anything to change them!?!
