I was asked it were possible to provide a list of maps that are in progress. Here are a number of maps that are in various stages of completion, some more than others. Some are requests that are being finished by other members ... some are just sadly languishing through lack of interest or imagination or because they are stuck due to faults of my own.

Most of them lack populating with objects, so anyone wishing to do this task may always ask for a specific map ... I'll be only too happy ...
________________________________________________________________
Batavia

a nicely textured map with airfields in place- still needs populating
________________________________________________________________

Biscay

this map is now finished and can be downloaded here:

Galicia

a map that needs a bit of retexturing and the whole populating of towns and villages

Iraq

this map is in the process of being completed with populating being done by Riptide (who did Hankow populating so well)

now finished and downlaodable at the following link:

Palestine

a map with a very nice texture set - still needs populating, airfields and some other things but has a good potential

Suez

an older map that is partially populated and needs some reworking done on the texture sets, which are a bit complicated due to presence of Nile Delta and desert in close proximity

an older map that is already populated, but is a bit tricky to texturize due to several landscape types on the same map

It's really amathing all the WIP. Keep it up!

And THANKS!!!

[agracier]

Well just so members know - a number of these maps are out of my hands for now - and am I ever thankful for that! Biscay is apparently in the end stages from what I hear.

The Dodecanese map (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,5009.0.html) is almost done and the Iraq map is also progressing along very well with populating by Riptide.

Batavia is also along very well and for my money looks good enough for dogfighting and such even without any villages or towns.

These 3 are looking for completion in the immediate future I'd say.

Anyone wishing to try their hand at populating a map is always welcome to give it a go.

Hmmm like the Biscaya map alot.
Only problem is we have no sub pens..
Been asking for years for theese buildings in IL2 but seems noone wants to make them sadly enough.
If made they should only be able be taken out by the large new comming bombs.
But think of the fun skip bombing for the subs inside them!:)
We would also need more and better fortifications with working guns as we now have alot of maps with shore lines and not inland maps anymore.
( thoose wimpy guns that are made that shoot 6000 meters is bollocks as the ships ingame shoot upto 38000 meters. it was a reason why ships wouldnt attack fortifications if able to not do so)

[Hawkman]

Wow - they all look like great maps

I hope that some folks would also be able to finish populating some maps we already have - Asheshouse's Battle of France map would be a prime candidate.

Hi Agracier,

Don't forget your Cuba map

I always liked that map

and also your Mig Alley map

Soooooo many maps over the year or so.

How did you find the time to make all of them?

You must live a quiet lifestyle.

Cheers Kirby

China has a lot of photos from the years 1935-1940. I can provide
if so pm Come on

Hi Agracier,

I didn't include many maps because they were not really more than a flyable map with 1 texture - those don't really count since it doesn't take more than an hour or so to make those (if all goes right and you don't make any silly mistakes in calculating mandatory map sizes or such). In fact, I sometimes think that making a good skin takes longer than making a basic 1 texture map ... it's only afterwards, with texturing, making rivers, placing roads, names and above all populating that takes so long ...

Cuba I forgot all about, though it might be an interesting change of hemisphere. Something different, if relatively flat. Mig Alley is an old 512 texture map that really needs to be redone from the bottom up - except the FMB map ... it has a lovely terrain though, lots and lots of valleys and hills. And textures look better the more mountainous terrain is. Flatlands are the hardest to do since textures more readily tend to tile or form discernible repeating patterns ...

Please please please can we have airfields that look like airfields? Sorry, I'm just being fussy, but as an ex-aviator your previous efforts don't look right IMHO. Incidentially for another change in atmosphere how about the Black Sea coast around Georgia and northern Turkey? A potential flashpoint and one the Germans were trying to exploit during WW2

[Fusek]

Im looking forward to that Batavia map, it looks very promising. All your maps do, but that one in particular

[agracier]

Please please please can we have airfields that look like airfields? Sorry, I'm just being fussy, but as an ex-aviator your previous efforts don't look right IMHO.

Since I don't know much about airfields at all, I usually copy and paste existing airfields from other maps and then add a few things like some extra hangars, buildings, fences, make a runway a bit longer, add a parking space, or an extra runway and such stuff...

If anyone wishes to make some good airfield templates ... please please do ... I'll be happy to incorporate them ...

[kapteeni]

I will make That Palestine map ASAP. I have it at my HDD
kap
OMG What a set of maps. I hope that they all will make it....!!!
