I thought I would share this little project, something I've working on on-and-off for a while.
The India / Pakistan border has seen at least three major wars and numerous skirmishes, most notably the 1948, 1965, and 1973 Indo-Pakistan wars.
This is a half-scale version of the region including all the most relevant areas of the Punjab and Kashmir, including a small piece of Afghanistan in the North-West (Kandahar) and the Swat Valley. Airfields are jet-friendly and should work within the 1965-73 time-frame.
Due to the limits of map_h editing and because the map is 1/2 scale, the Himalayas have been "leveled off" in the North-East to the maximum height Il-2 can handle.
The borders are modern - researching the conflicts and changes over the last century has been difficult. In fact I have never delved into any single conflict which is still so hotly debated. I offer this map in the spirit of remembrance, and to shine a light on the oft-overlooked, but very important conflicts in the region.
I think I have included all necessary textures, the rest should be in BAT. Thank you especially to Redko and Cyberolas for their wonderful work. This map encompasses almost every type of terrain, from ocean to desert to snow-capped mountains to steamy jungles and rice-paddies. It was a real texturing challenge.
There are also two new building blocks based on the Jerusalem blocks (I believe by nounette?). They are included to give the cities a dense urban look while cutting down on actors_static size. Most of the bridges are cosmetic in order to keep the rivers flowing downhill without canyons, apologies if I've missed a few...
Please let me know if the textures or objects are incomplete and I will upload a new version as necessary.
