I recently watched the sci-fi movie the 'The signal', which was great by the way.
it ends with an electonic version of Gounod/Bachs Ave Maria which I found captivating.


The classical version just as captivating:

Nothing new to share map-wise, but I did discover this brilliant series purely by accident. Its a refreshing look at a fictional RAF Squadron during the BOF and BOB. Its a change from the usual patriotic one dimensional "HEROES OF THE AIR" take, and a more realistic view of young men dealing with a highly stressful situation, the air tactics and the societal values of the period.

Have you considered releasing what you have as a WIP?  That could let players test fly what you have.

  It has bee so long since I have self added mods.  I have gone over to having it packaged for me and my recollection of the hurdles that must be jumped is hazy.
BAT is so tied up in compiled files (.sfs) how does on add the WIP 325 Map to be opened by FMB?

[Frankiek]

just go into the #WAW3 folder there you find the folder mapmods/maps where you can add your map as usual

Hi Jpten,
Frankiek has put it well , and below is an additional explanation:
I don't use BAT but I'll try to help, I've posted a link to the map as I use it in my Vp modpack :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3M0ciYxyq_YTNH41KCldhYREVfISm4M/view?usp=sharing
I suppose the #WAW3 folder isn't too different from my #SAS folder so you can safely extract the map file directly into it, renaming as needed.
Then edit the static.ini file:
I presume this will be the path;
#WAW3 - STD-com-maddox-il2-objects = Static, and add all the objects in the list,
then edit the all file :
path I presume  #WAW3 - MAPMODS - MAPS = all

hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Piotrek

@Piotrek1 and @Frankiek Thanks for the info. Got the 352 map working.
My plan is to  transfer my Greebo template from the Channel 40-41 by canon/tbauchot.  It actually slims down the template since rogerroger has recreated some of the fixtures.  However a lot of FMB objects are not showing.  At first I thought it was the missing actors in the static.ini but I can save with no problem.  I have reason to believe that static objects are not appearing because they are spawning below the ground/water level in the map. I can see the tips of gun barrels sticking out of the ground and sea mines too close to the shore rise out of the water into the air.
  I'm still checking it out but I wanted to note that in case anyone else has the same problem in placing objects.

[Frankiek]

You can manually raise the level of the objects in fmb and if it is really needed in the static.ini

If you are talking about mission template then you will have to manually select and move the static objects to their new correct location.

Here's me transferring one of my missions to Glen's map, quite a bit of work as the two are different scale.

Excel spreadsheet can be very useful to define the spawn points in the new map
