Thank you so much for your kind comments !

At this stage, most textures are almost modified everyday, as we never get 100% happy with them.

Well i'm a bit of noob when it comes to IL-2 versions sorry, but this map is being made on a 4.12 vpMedia and works on TFM38 too. Hope it will be compatible with more versions !?!

A few new screenshots of Vivigani airfield, on Goodenough island. This airfield will allow, from late 1942 on, to fly many RAAF birds to challenge japanese forces stationned in New Britain.
Moutains textures there, airfield itself and static still WIP.. endless story 

Then a couple more of Buna and Cape Gloucester at dusk.

Cheers ; )

Hello Tokyo Rose,

I believe that the version of the sim will be based on the objects that you used to populate the map with. With what you've stated thus far it looks like it will be compatible with the following:

4.12.2m with SAS Modact 5.30
Possibly BAT(?)
I don't think it will work in HSFX, however I could be wrong.

I know that there are some object finder tools used for folks interested in converting maps for their version of the sim. I'm not sure how there used or where to find them as I don't use them myself.

Hi Tokyo R
I like the textures on this map and the detail on the airfields so far. As one who loves big maps I applaud your work.
What is the scale of the map by the way?

Squash

No artist is ever satisfied with their art, but I would have to admit, these look perfect for the map.
Don´t change them too much. Overall nice details and landscape textures!

I am also using the VP-modpack (which is cool for me too), which is actually the basic 4.12 game with just a few more mods and
excellent new skins+map textures included into it. So this should work for alot of people using this map in the future.

Good luck and have fun with it.

Those mountain slopes are spectacular!  Very nice SRTM rendering   
So I guess there are no 3-D forest trees?  I only see palm tree static objects.

Hi Squashman, the scale is 1/1, say you take off from Port Moresby on a bomb mission to Rabaul, without accelarating the time that's roughly 4 hours + to get there and back, that is if you come back of course 

Cheers !

A beautiful looking map, looking forward to flying on it!

Cheers Bwf !
Cztx, 3D trees seldomely used indeed, might even get rid of them all. Btw your Burma Lower map (along with Cyberolas RRR jewel) kept us awake for hours and i like the excerpt you introduced your work with "...and as they descended into Burma for the first time they were struck by the colour of the Burmese foliage - the red and orange tints of the flowering trees which, in due course, we learnt to identify as the flame trees of the forest and the golden mohurs."
- a Beaufighter pilot ...remember ? 
I've actually enjoyed reading David J. Innes memoirs it's coming from.


A few screenshots around the Salamaua luxury resort area, starting with a trio of menacing Hayabusas overhead the coastline where one can see the isthmus in the far


Mountains overlooking Salamaua airstrip, by the Francisco river and, the Huon gulf.


We really want to get those grassy moutains sides right, hopefully getting there..!




...and now to call it a day ; )

[DHumphrey]

Simply wonderful work … beautiful map !!! 

[Gubi]

Indeed. This work makes me salivate.  Cheers and wonderful screenshots.

Then comes to mind...agraciers great "Batavia" map...left unpopulated and abandoned.

Early Pacific.  Right down my alley.  Cheers Gentlemen, excellent work...

Hi Tokyo R

Marvellous!!! I also always make my maps 1:1 - it's nice to have a base to start from and return to - and it makes you realise what a vast battlefield the Pacific theatre was. A tribute to the brave pilots on all sides who flew those epic missions largely over open ocean.

[Gubi]

Love your maps Squash, indeed et. al.  Imagine that?  All of these Pacific freaks gathering in one corner.  Cheer, prost and out Gentlemen.
