Hi guys.

So here are some pics of what will be final version of this map, this time with flyable airfields.

It was a hard task to make it, first of all to find good sources...with good pics of the airfield. Fortunately i have been helped by so many people by providing me pics, footages and advices that i would like to thank them so much.

I tried to make it looking like a coral ground as much as possible. I'm using two textures, one at 1024 resolution and standard zoom in the load.ini, the second one at 1024 but zoom 8 on the load.ini in order to give the best low flight resolution and rendering as possible.

Unfortunately for the first texture, i mean the airfield itself, i can't use zoom on the load.ini as it make it uncomptible with the island shape. It would have been a great deal to make the entire airfield at zoom 4 or 8 = it's the best for a really detailed low flight texture.

I'm experimenting those things on some desert maps like Lybia, Sinai, Sand of time, Mto and stock desert map. Only the stock desert maps will be available for download.

I guess the final map will be ready before this week end for all. If you have any advices or datas please post here. Enjoy.
And i hope you like like the final airfield guys , this was important to make this map functional






All the other textures are going to be with zoom 2 on load.ini, better rendering when closing to the ground...so i will move the bilding to fit to these resolution.



I'm still working on this. Some things may change before the release. I have to improve the junction parts where airfield textures meet the rest...

Work going on.....

Some little details i wanted to add : wheel tracks......that's not soo important but it bring a realism touch. I just painted it on the texture. That's funny to do:






I'm working on textures junction interpenetration too. That's better now than the first pics, i have the other side of the airfield to make:



Same here : natural transition from airfield textures to "village" ones....

Amazing work mate!!!

About airfield surround....aren't you a little rude?



What about use photoshop instead of bombingshop???

(I hope that the joke of words can be understandable!)

cheers

Hre you get the official trailer for Plau V2....just some days more to wait, i have 2-3 things to fix 

Enjoy. Put the sound to the max....i'v been working on remaking the sounds : birds, wind, canons, bombs....

HD VERSION HERE :



This little movie is dedicated to H&P and all modders working on FX, java classes.....without THIS it would impossible for us movie makers to make realistic little movies.

Thanks

That was one of the best Il-2 videos I've watched in a long time! Astounding work, those sounds are awesome. Will they be available to be downloaded?

[cgagan]

+1! True cinematic art! It gives you the impression you're watching original WW2 colour footage! Chapeau au maitre!

[shrek1]

Great vid!!!!! Many thx for sharing!

[redko]

.....those sounds are awesome. Will they be available to be downloaded?

Mmm yea why not. But remember those sounds are juste mp3 rip from différent sources, i don't know if it could be used directly as a mod sound  .

For information, i get some sounds from youtube historical docs, and canon sounds from Company of heroes....there is many many excellent sounds in this game that could be used as sounds for il2 movies but also for the game !

Thanks .
More movies like this one, i mean in a "documentary style" are under way. It a real fun to make it. I will try to mix il2 shots and real footages for the next ones.

Really does look amazing, cant wait! And much looking forward to Africa repaints- original IL2 African maps had this problem where it was most difficult to judge how high you are flying -200 meters and 20 meters looked and felt the same. Landing was always a pain.

Thanks Redko!
