Palau Remake.
« on: August 30, 2017, 10:10:55 AM »
I'm working on the Palau map. Usng Redko's map as a base, I'm adding hieght to the map as it was almost completely flat where in real life these islands have some good hieght to them. I'm also making the Anguar air base where B-24's were staitioned in 44. I dont think anyone has made that one yet. I made a new " jungle " texture for maps that I hope wont show the " tile effect " so much.

Nice idea ! Guam should get the same treatment because it is flat too. I've seen some movies of the assault on Guam and they show some steep cliff and moutains in the backgrorund while the map on Il-2 is desperately flat.
It could nice to reshape it and it is a nice idea to reshape Palau too
thanks

I will take a look at it. I hate flat maps. The world is not flat! :) But, you have to remember that IL2 has large limitations on maps. Such as, if the " land " is too skinny or small in size, when you try to add hieght it will raise the ocen at the shore line and you will have an ugly mess.
As I am reworking Palau I found there was also an air strip under constrution on the small island of Ngesebus (Ingesebus) which is the small island at the north west but close enough they built a causeway from Peleliu to it.





This airstrip was under construction when the Marines landed. I am making this but it will not have any take off point since it was not finished but you will see it.

Excellent use of original photos there Mark.
Pacific Wrecks is such a mainstay site for any area in the Pacific.
It is amazing what you can find in the site.
While searching for image for Darwin 42 map I came across some original black and white images of Darwin town in the 30's
That is what I used to populate Darwin.

Awesome man, very realistic  ;D :D

Cheers
