cool nuttz

ive only used the lake void so far i didnt like the volcano void because of the transparent polygon things.

is there any other voids i can use to skin small islands with?

im thinking of stealing the town void and skinning it with an island and using vh runways for the towns instead or even no bases for the towns at all, ive found most places with these tiles objects look better without the transparent bases

YES, snowcap is a great one to use, Lava has a few high points , but lake is good, and the oil refinery voids can change nicely. City void works but watch out some voids actually are smaller in size.

BTW, pearl harbor tiles are great for a full map, pearl city, ford island and the harbor are all voids. it is to scale and THAT was the hard part since ford island actually in scale takes up less than one tile and is on a SW to NE heading, so it HAD to be made a void since a tile or two wouldn't work. I also used a void to help shape the harbor on the east and NE side of Ford island to keep the acuracy of the map.

Reading this thread, one realizes that there is a lot more to AH than what it's perceived in the MA. And I'm not talking about tiles, voids or pics

Thks again, the terrain looks absolutely gorgeous....just RUSH!!!  (did you mention 2 weeks?....like 14 days, dunnowhat minutes, etc.?  :D)

Truely amazing stuff...<>...way beyond what's currently available.

Is it all possible (or desirable) to limit plane sets in the MA. I'd love to see some bases (and carriers) with limited planesets. Not to deprive anyone of their "ride" but to provide incentives to fight for certain bases.

If you had the la-7's ponies, spit IX and nikki's divided up so only 1 was available per base I'd love to see what it does to game play:).

WOW NICE!!!!  New Grimmy  is that two airfields side by side?

That will be nutzzzzz.  Is it twice the ack, VH etc.  If that is the case do you have to drop troops on two cities as well.   I can hear Beetle crying already  WTG!!!!!!

I can't wait fester this map looks like it will be awsome!!!!!

Citabria,

There are too many cool things about this map to comment on.  But what I like best are the names.  I do agree with the comment suggesting that one be names after you Fetser Island as in Easter Island.  I think a big thing that has been missing is real names for areas.

no only one town, in historically recreated areas airfields are modelled after real airfields in the actual locations but the strategic system for the airfields is the same as a standard field. they only look different.

there is only 1 town per field and it is standard layout.
the historic bases with multiple runways not directly next to eachother are in fact 1 base with multiple runways not next to eachother lol.

I was thinking naming a region Ozstralia and maybe having another region called lazsmania? hehe

Well  we are mostly called Aussies ( which we pronounce  Ozzies )    so "Oztralia" would have a perfect ring to it. - very fitting

Happen to have a squaddie in tasmania  - "lazmania" - I'm sure they won't mind down there   :)


Either way -  the map certainly looks awesome Fester - can't wait to fly it
