Agracier,
Please, I would like to know about the French Morocco map (that for Operation Torch) and the one depicting Tangier protectorate, wich have a piece of French Morocco in it, and a piece of Algeria...
Are they still far from complete? Are they usable? Working airfields? Populations?

Since January I haven´t done any work on any maps anymore. So they are sill as they were the last time anything was posted about them.

First I have a book contract that I have to honor by the end of autumn this year (and it´s more work than I thought at first ... ha ha).

But mainly, and this is a bt sad, but ever since 4.10 was released i have not played a game as it should be played, nor have time for anything but trying, and I stress ´trying´ to keep up with all the changes. 4.10, 4.101, UP 3.0 (with/without diffFM) and now DBW (which I still don´t understand what it does).

Every change might be for the better, but since all require new installs and cannot be used as add-ons, I´ve spent more time trying to catch up than doing anything else in Il-2. And even so, there are so many old 4.09 planes that can´t be used in the newer versions of the game.

It takes about a month to set up a good version of Il-2 with all extra new planes. Testing each takes long since bulk installs are only inviting trouble.

So for the moment I´ve about given up. I hope that soon there will be a definitive version of the game, maybe one that will allow subsequent add-ons of newer versions instead of requiring total new installs. I just can´t spend all the time needed to try and stay up to date and still be missing so many new modded planes ...

Agracier, with Sidi Ifni you and Uufflakke contributed one of my absolute favourite maps which runs now in
all my 4.09 and my DBW install.
Thanks (and of course for all other maps)!

Here is a link to a version of the Casablanca map ...

For others, I will have to wait until I return home in September.

That Casablanca map is pretty much fun, tested it at late afternoon. Okey, it needs some airfields etc, but
for a quick mission it's good enough.

Sort of the less hilly brother of Ifni.

BTW, I have a very accurate and detailed map of Casablanca as it was in 1942. Let me know if you need it.

Thanks. Any info is always useful, either for use now, later or in the far future. So yes, please do send a link or whatever when you have time. Thanks for sharing.

Col. King,

I like this map too. There are two well done river valleys north of Casablanca and some great rugged terrian inland. Also, it fills a historical gap in the collection of IL-2 maps.

 You have mentioned adding airfields to the Casablanca Map. If you need some help populating this map, I can help you with at least some of it. All you have to do is provide me with a list of 10 locations you would like populated. If you have specific some ideas about what you would like to see, include them with your list.

I noticed that a street pattern has been included at the Casablanca location. It looks very appropriate for that part of the world and once populated, it will look great. Are you planning to add any such street patterns at other village and town locations? If so, that, in my opinion, would be a real plus for this map.

Cheers,

Riptide

Hello Agracier

Any progress on their maps of Casablanca and Moroccan protectorate?
I am creating a small campaign in the area and I would be very useful
Thanks for your great work

Any progress on their maps of Casablanca and Moroccan protectorate?

About half a year ago or maybe more, I finally had to admit defeat to make a map covering the Spanish protectorate. There are just far too many terrain types to get them all on one map with only limited slots.

Then I tried a smaller area, focusing around Ceuta, Tangiers and the northwestern part with Mellia ... this should work better, but right now, due to real world work I am stuck time-wise mainly. There are just not enough hours to do everything. So it´s on hold on my end in any case ...

I have however found a wealth of books on various campaigns in Morocco in the 1920´s ... on fortifications, army bases, airstrips etc that will be extremely useful whenever it gets to doing populating of the map ...

Of course, anyone wishing to work on the map themselves is always free to do so. Once back home in September I can always send the working files should anyone be interested ...

Thanks for the quick reply

Due to my limitations with modding I do not feel able to try personally.
My biggest encouragement to you or anyone brave who dares to end this fantastic map.
