Hi guys,
the map has entered its final stage. Port Moresby airfield complex will be finalized tomorrow. As of now, Kila Kila, Berry, Schwimmer, Durand and Rogers are there. The big ones, Jackson and Wards are to follow.
Rabaul is complete as of 1942 early 1943, i.e with Lakunai, Vunakanau and Rapopo airfields.
For the town of Rabaul itself, we borrowed and adapted Bee "Welcome to Hell - Rabaul 1944" actors.static to our need. He did an outstanding job there and a special thanks goes to him here.
All other airfields are done.
Textures, all of them created by Yann from scratch, have reached their final appearance and will be released as such, although Yann always has ideas to try and improve them
We'll use the following week to work on the static, many hundreds of objects to position... not a walk in the park as the map is... vast
RABAUL
Lakunai, its two grass strips, plus the concrete small fighter strip built by the japanese after the took over the place from the Aussies (The earth color of the taxiways will be subject to a slight change, probably more greenish)
Simpson Harbour :
Vunakanau and some impressions of a low bombing run :
Rapopo :
PORT MORESBY
Berry and Schwimmer : (right behind, Jackson & Wards still WIP)
Berry, Schwimmer and overthere Durand can be seen, many options to get back down in Port Moresby ; )
Kila Kila
MILNE BAY
Turnbull and Gurney, their respective appearances were modified once again, PSP plates redone etc.. :
NORTH COAST
Buna, Lae, same punishment :
ADMIRALTY ISLANDS
We decided to add Manus island as it was held by the Japanese since april 1942. It is the only occasion were we "cheated" regarding actual geographical position and the 1/1 scale rule.
The Admiralty islands archipelago should normaly be a hundred miles farther north, out of the map perimater, but we thought it wouldn't really be noticeable, while it is interesting to include them mission wise.
Momote airstrip :
Hopefully beta version to be realeased start of july, latest !
Thanks for following
