   Great chisel work!  A doubt is growing, what kind of video card will be able to bear the load of such a complex map?  After the depressing experience with the NGNB map of WxTech with the vertical drop of frames and the game freezing... I'm worried.   

Is anywhere any release of the map for betatesters ?

  My install is a partial TFM412 with just the eto aircraft, ships and vehicles so I have no idea how this mod will perform with megapacks like BAT. My system is a cheapo AMD RYZEN3 quad core with a Geforce GTX760, and I don't experience stutters in missions. The actors static currently stands at 2.39mb for this map whereas CAN_EnglishChannel is at 4.15mb.

Beta testing is something that I am considering as the release date gets closer.

Roger, I haven't said my bit on this project in a hot minute, but as I see the progress grow bigger and more ambitious, I can surely say what you've done lately is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! 🤩

You truly keep outdoing yourself in breathing new life to this map!

When improved ways of doing things are discovered , a lot of old work needs to be updated across the map. I've also increased the lod distances of static object bridges.

Ah, in two weeks. 


Hello roger,

Your works looking wonderful!

Best regards

Great progress, as ever. 

[rogeroger]

Thanks Gerhard and Andy!
Andy! I was in your neck of the woods today updating the prison and Portland harbour. As you can see I'm halfway through the harbour update.

Since I started this mod over a year ago I have been flummoxed by the row of trees object's invisibility on this particular map when forest was set to 3 in the config file.
I resorted to creating a volumetric tree object as a replacement, though I've always preferred the sims volumetric high quality trees. Through some jiggery pokery I've managed to get the row of trees object to be visible in game.

Row of Tree1 placements made today at Lympne and Hawkinge airfields, replacing my tree objects.

   To see them in the images they look very satisfying! One of the difficulties on our maps has always been that of not being able to insert enough trees, especially in urban suburbs which therefore always seem a bit unnatural.

[rogeroger]

It depends on the city/suburbs textures you are using. With some textures the trees get lost in the green of the texture even at low altitude, then it's not worth placing them. I use some tree sprites on suburban textures that are low poly and seem to look ok. I'm using the high quality row of trees treeline mostly on airfields where you will see them close up on take off and landing.
