Poland_1939 Map update

This is an update for the Poland 1939 map made by Uzin:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,42327.0.html

It's an update patch, so it requires the original Poland_1939 map including the patch.
A link to the latest patch is here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,42327.msg556390.html#msg556390
It also requires the Poland_1944 map by Uzin, with the latest patch applied.
A link to the latest patch is here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,45693.msg597159.html#msg597159

I've been working on this update on and off since September 2016 and it includes the following improvements:
-All generic objects removed and replaced on all generic towns.
-Added objects to all the suburbs and small towns that previously had no objects at all.
-Added objects to the fields. To keep the actors static on a manageable size I've only populated the fields close to airfields and most of the towns.
-Increased number of objects from 349322 to 865346, which is 516024 more objects.
-Improve road connections and road layout and some historical corrections.
-Improve rail connections and rail layout and some historical corrections.

Non generic towns (Breslau, Krakow, Lodz, Lublin, Poznan, Warszawa):
-Removed or moved interfering objects.
-Removed or moved trees from railroads, streets and roads.
-Improved the objects placement, so they match the terrain textures better.

CAMOUFLAGE = DESERT

Ok, but have you followed the instructions in the top of the IL-2 page:
Download instructions: If you want to download a file, click on the underlined heading for that download!

Can you describe in detail what the problem is?

I tested a minute ago and the download worked fine.

vonOben - great job! Thank you very much.
In my opinion, I found better city textures. I don't know whose authorship they are. If you see fit - maybe join the next map update.
Best regards from Poland.

I found them on my HDD in the Poland 1939 map. I can't remember - where I got it from.

The textures Kelso posted looks nice IMHO, and can be dropped in the _Tex\uzin\Poland\summer folder overwriting the old files.

But the objects on the map doesn't match the new textures very well and to look it's best they need to be re-arranged.

I'm not going to do it right now - because of map building fatigue - but possible in the future.

Hi

Poland_1939 Map updated to v.2.

Changes in v2:
Moved/removed some missplaced objects.
Corrected two towns in texts.txt to their appropriate names in 1939.
Added road between Lublinek and Czestochowa.

I found out that the textures posted by Kelso above is included in vpmedia's Poland re-textured version available here:
https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=2661

It's a pity that I didn't find that download earlier :( , but this update works rather well together with vpmedia's re-textured version IMHO.
To use this update with those textures simply remove the _Tex folder and also the load.ini file in this update.

Hello Von Oben, or to anyone in the community passing by.
Im having a problem after installing this update over the Poland _1939 map.
(Just wanting to toy about on the map using Full FMB).
I'm unable to load it, getting a return to desktop with a log error message of ...java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
   <<no stack trace available>>
I have increased the ram in The selector to 1024.
I checked and there's no problems editing other maps.
Any help/advice greatful, Thanx Martin@OLD_DAD.
