SOUTHERN SUMATRA - WESTERN JAVA 1942
« on: September 06, 2019, 03:44:48 PM »

Introducing 1:1 scale map encompassing Southern Sumatra, Western Java and the surrounding seas

Click images to enlarge;

Northern area of map


Southern area of map


The Japanese onslaught into the Dutch East Indies gathered momentum in early 1942 and after stoical resistance by the combined American, British, Dutch, and Australian (ABDA) air and naval forces in actions ranging from the Makassar Strait, Balikpapan, The Flores Sea, Soerabaja, Ambon and Soembawa, the focus in February 1942 moved westward to Sumatra and Western Java, where the last significant allied naval and air forces were finally all but annihilated in actions around the Java Sea, the Soenda Strait, the Badoeng Strait, the Bangka Strait and Palembang.

The estuary harbour Palembang


Palembang Oil Storage Terminal


Japanese air raid over Tandjoeng Priok Harbour


Batavia Harbour and Marina




Kamajoran Airfield


Tjilatjap Harbour






Very early stages as yet - main problems - low fps over towns; may have to reduce the number of objects. Land textures are largely stand-ins copied from Cyberolas excellent Singapore map. No forested or jungle areas yet (massive job!)

Beta version here https://www.mediafire.com/file/knejcwhdqin2l4w/sq_South-Sumatra_Java.7z/file

Please note - early stage map but fully working and tested. Well populated towns and villages. Limited railway and roadway links. Only placeholder textures available at the moment

Thanks for all the positive feedback

I think it's one of your textures that I modified to blend with Cyberolas Singapore lowland textures  8)

Krakatoa of course, is actually WEST of Java! The producers thought "East" sounded better!

As Cloyd said the Krakatoa island group is there. You'll have to give me some time to work out the volcanic textures.

Flight time from overhead Palembang to overhead Tandjoeng Priok (present day Jakarta), at 300kph, is 1hour 24 minutes - which gives a distance of 420 Kilometers.
This is pretty much exactly the actual distance in real life according to Prokeraia https://www.prokerala.com/travel/flight-time/from-palembang/to-jakarta/

Confirms the scale at 1:1
